Who: Cisco Ramon
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: the marsiva
When: current

[ today you can see cisco ramon putting tons of cheddar gel between two wheat solids, pressing them all together into a sandwich before heating them up on the highest setting available. it's not really grilled cheese but it's as close as it comes.

he's already eating out of a plate of frozen banana cubes ]

ok so eating all of this alone while everyone else is partying is absolutely my senior prom all over again just in space-setting.

[ oh to be a nerd, even in space. ]

so - what do we call ourselves? the fleeters? this is just for future knowledge, I am not in any way implying that title is.

[ the space microwave beeps ]

are they going to serve frozen tequila cubes in that party? because if so then a) awesome and b) I think those should definitely be provided to those of us who are stuck here on board of the SS No-Date.

Just saying.

Bit of a head-spin, isn't it? [ kate tries to look cool about it all, although she's rattled somewhere under her chilly blue eyes. ] I thought I'd figured it all out back home but -- man, the multiverses that this place dredges up truly take the cake. Fair warning.

...ah, definitely, yeah.

[ you know, just as long as there won't be any more evil dopplegagers, he'll be fine. reverb gave him nightmares and daymares since they met ]

--- how? I mean - aside of the obvious we're living in space.

I can't answer that. Not fully. But I can toss around a working theory -- that either the Atroma or some force hijacked by the Atroma is capable of pulling individuals not only from discrete worlds but also discrete times. I don't think it goes like this for everyone but...so far, I've counted up to like three different versions of my world represented in the fleet. And dozens more different points-in-time from those versions.

So they can go to every timeline in any world on the multiverse. it takes more than just a space breach it's a - time tunnel combined with a breach. that will take huge amount of energy and should be fairly easy to locate.

[ writing all of that down ]

once we get the tech.

[ up until now, she was following rather comfortably. kate's clever and tactical as all get out -- but she's not that kinda clever.

softly: ] Someone's got a brain on him. Huh. I gotta admit, last time I saw something like this done? We didn't have any tech to help out.

[benames]

you - didn't?

[ blinking ]

ok, now we need to know the how.

[ladybro]

[ a slow shake of her head -- but kate's not volunteering much about that prior experience. not because she's secretive, but because she knows it won't help either of them to discuss america chavez's particular abilities. ]

That's a question for the Atroma's mouthpieces. And they're never exactly forthcoming.

[benames]

we'll figure it out.

[ he puts down the notepad ]

if we all put our minds into it, we'll figure them out and get out of here.

[ladybro]

Optimism. I like that. [ then, cheekily: ] Fifteen points for you.

[benames]

[ he really likes you kate ok ]

bam! I'm going to win and get to 500 before you do.

[ladybro]

It's a race. I'd offer to shake on it, but -- [ she waggles her fingers at the camera. ] We'll just have to postpone the formalities for later.

camera high five -

[ highfiving air, yep ]

[ladybro]

[ his optimism is contagious, kate smiles, and holds a flattened palm up to the screen. ]

Consider it a verbal contract, then.

video »

[benames]

and uh - kate?

[ he smiles and salutes ]

have fun at that party for me too.

[ladybro]

You might get lucky. [ hah. ] The shuffle might happen before the strobe lights start up.

[ ... ] Not that I think there'll be strobe lights.

video »

[benames]

...but it'll be so cool if there will be.

[ladybro]

Unfortunately, I don't think it's that kinda party. But I have been pushing for a dance club in the fleet. It's sorely needed.

[benames]

you know, if you and I can ever decide on a name, I say we go for it. wait for it - C2H5OH!

[ cisco... ]

or in short, the C2! What do you have to say about that!

[ladybro]

Ethanol, hm?

[ -- it's more lucky guess than scientific acumen. sure, she did chemistry at hawthorne academy. and she passed with good grades, but she wasn't destined for any big career in any of the big three.

however, she's a born investigator. a hunch is as good as a certainty, some days. ]

[benames]

ahhh you know your science!

[ so very happy what even ]

you got to admit it's a cool idea. come on, people will love it. a-science-lab-bar-and-dance-club.

[ladybro]

We'd definitely still need a DJ.

video »

[benames]

and a bartender.

[ super important ]

video »

[ladybro]

Someone who can manage mojitos, despite our depressing dearth of fresh ingredients.

video »

[benames]

and maybe some nachos -

[ man that would be incredible, he's already hungy ]

those can't be that hard when we have the wheat solids.

[ladybro]

Pulped, flattened, and toasted in the oven. It could work.

[ thanks, cooking augment! ]
