Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Iskaulit
When:

[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

Hey, I had to fill out a lot of paperwork for this job. I deserve some credit.

Paperwork: the true enemy.

So, how's it going?

Yes, thank you, that is what I have always said.

_{[ He shrugged. ]}

It's going well as it can be. I think I've finally figured out the trick to the coffee machine, which is actually faster than I expected. What about you?

Okay. Kitty and Winn did some testing with me on the moon, but I'm not sure it yielded much.

Oh, yeah, Winn mentioned that. He said it went well - even if it's only a little yield. That's good! Has it made you feel better?

_{[ He seems genuinely pleased, even if he was slightly concerned with
the storage still. But Winn had agreed to provide alerts to everyone who
lived on the ship, so he felt better about it. ]}

I'm pleased they're so dedicated to the project. It's really heartening to know that I have people in my corner on that. The actual testing was a little tedious for me, if I'm being honest.

_{[ He chuckled. ]}

That's always the hard part, isn't it? But it's good the tests are going well. What did you have to do?

Stand there while they lit me up with various spectrums of light.

Hmm, sounds... thrilling?

_{[ Aaaaand sipping his beer because he's not sure what else to describe
that as. Though... ]}

Do you get different powers under different spectrums of light?

No. I either have my powers, or I don't, or I have them kind of, like right now. They're mostly trying to figure out how to restore me to 100%.

Hmm - I never asked, but do you need constant exposure, or is it something like you can charge up and they stay with you for awhile?

Well, my powers work at night. They can sustain for a bit but not long, honestly. Earth is kind of the sweet spot of distance and strength from a yellow sun.

Hmm, I wonder why yellow...

_{[ He said that more under his breath than anything, not much expecting
an answer. ]}

I wonder if there would be a way to make it a little more portable than the container Winn currently has it in. You know, in case you get stuck on a planet for some reason.

_{[ It could totally happen. ]}

Ah, haha, but that's probably a Winn question right? Sorry. Come on, you must have been up to more than science experiments lately.

_{[ He'd been busy with his own experiments and the planet to talk much,
which he was sorry for. He did like Kara, after all. ]}

Oh, you know. Socializing. Meeting new people, the works.

Hmm. Anyone interesting?

_{[ He waggled his brows at her. ]}

No, not like that.

[ very light, playful push ]

I did meet Steve Rogers, though. Do you know him? He's really nice.

Oh! Yeah, I've talked to him. He came down with me planet-side to help gather some samples. He is quite nice. Almost has a better smile than me too.

_{[ He mock pursed his lips, as if this were upsetting and frightening
news. ]}

We could hold a pageant if you want, to see who would win.

Shhh, you'll give Atroma more ideas on things to do with us!

_{[ He may be joking. He may not. Either way he's giving Kara a light
shove too. ]}

Maybe that's my intent. There's always a swimsuit competition, you know.

If all you want to see me in a swimsuit, Kara, you just have to ask. I bet Winn could make me a pageant worthy one, even.

I'm not sure he'd want to...

Heh, maybe not. And truthfully I'm not a speedo man myself.

Uh-huh. Sure.

[ she's teasing ]

They just really don't do anything for my butt. But if you want I can prove it to you...

_{[ He shakes his head and sips his beer. ]}
