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!]

I already know it'll blow my mind, so - apologies in advance.

[takingkarabusiness]

Accepted.

But you're not just content with the technology that exists in your time, are you? You don't seem the type.

[beathach]

Not at all. Even back home, I was always trying to find ways to improve what we already have. For our - time, I guess, some of the things in the mansion are pretty advanced.

[takingkarabusiness]

Then it's probably more of the culture stuff that's strange for you.

[beathach]

[a wry smile]

Pretty much. I mean, I'm starting to get used to it, but a lot of what I hear still flies right over my head.

[takingkarabusiness]

I can sympathize.

[beathach]

Heh. At least, I've never been good at it. So being out of my depth is normal.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yes, I imagine it's hard for people who are on top of things

[beathach]

I can't even imagine that. Thankfully, none of us are ever on top of things like that.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, I guess you guys deal with unusual things all the time.

[beathach]

Sometimes. Not as often as the other worlds like mine.

[takingkarabusiness]

Even so. More than the average citizen in my world.

[beathach]

Definitely more than that.

[takingkarabusiness]

So, anything else new?

[beathach]

. . . well, someone else from home showed up.

Not - a mutant. But she was - is a good friend.

[it's just complicated]

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh? Tell me more about her?

[beathach]

[oh boy]

Her name's Moira. She's a field agent for the CIA - and really, the reason I ended up meeting everyone. She sought Charles out, and that eventually lead to my boss being involved, and - [he makes a gesture]

She was our go between as well, when . . . we were in Cuba. [he just manages to hold back a wince] She's incredibly kind and talented.

[and now he does wince] Unfortunately . . . everything that happened in Cuba is very recent for her. She's ten years behind us.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she knows it's a tough subject for him but ]

You didn't tell me about Cuba.

[beathach]

I do owe you that story, don't I.

[takingkarabusiness]

Only if you're up for it.

[beathach]

[he's never up for it tbh]

. . . alright. But - uh, not here. Do you want to go for a walk?

[takingkarabusiness]

Sure. I need to stretch my legs.

[beathach]

Mm, same. I've been at this for a few hours.

[it doesn't take long to clean up the books and notebooks he has, and in a matter of moments he makes a gesture for Kara to follow him out of the library] Where to?

[takingkarabusiness]

The gardens, maybe?

[beathach]

Gardens sound good.

[and it would offer them a bit of privacy, at least, for this particular explanation. So, to the gardens they go]
