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.

nerdy is still not a nerd. we nerds recognize each other from a mile away.

[ firm nod ]

space nerdbros. from what I can tell, it's still mostly me and him around here. maybe Hank. ok, probably Hank. but that's it.

You know Hank already too? You really do attract each other. So limiting though.

[benames]

it's a pretty exclusive club. us uber nerds are far and in between -

None back home?

[benames]

oh there are -- two back home. at least. I mean, two that I happen to work with.

[ he's not going to include hartley since he's a dick. so two. ]

What do you do? [There's always a little bit of curiosity about the road not taken. Or the road that got blown the hell up in her case. She'd always excelled with computers and technology. She was sprung forward into gifted classes and then never even got to go to high school let alone college because of the turn the world took. Unless you count the prison school where she actually taught technology class. It was a love that would have likely outlasted and outpaced dance. And it came in handy with the X-Men. (Especially since Hank was evil in their world.) But she spent most of her time fighting.]

Mechanical engineer at S.T.A.R Labs. I make the toys and I fix just about everything that needs fixing.

[ and at times he makes suits for superheroes and cold gun. ]

[passingthrough]

That sounds fun. [No, it actually does. If a little light on details.] What kind of toys?

video

[benames]

computer systems, driods, security systems, it's all me.

[ giving her a little salute ]

[passingthrough]

Hmm, that's cool. I mean, it sounds basic, but everyone's gotta work, right? [Why needle the new guy? Maybe just because he's too comfortable. She doesn't know. Sometimes she just has to act her age instead of like she's the adult for everyone.]

video

[benames]

basic? hold on - how is making droids basic? I mean -

[ ... ]

oh wait a minute.

[ pointing a finger ]

you're making fun of me. is this a punishment for space-nerdbros?

video

[passingthrough]

Maybe. He was mine first. ["Mine" she says. Also, he was Kara's first. Details. She does give him a little smile.]

And droids aren't exactly a surprise back home. I've fought sentinel robots as tall as buildings.

video

[benames]

which - I'm sure he's very impressed by. I am, definitely. I mean. droid-fighting. that's. awesome.

[ sorta? kinda? ]

video

[passingthrough]

[You fight a team of robots programmed to exterminate your kind and see how you do.]

I don't think that particular enemy has actually come up. But it's always nice to impress.
