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!]

[he grins a little]

I am, but even at full strength I'm no Supergirl.

You know, technically you don't know that.

Technically, no. Call it an educated guess.

I hope I can show you soon.

I hope so too. I'd love to see everything you're capable of at your strongest.

Honestly, I'd just like to be back to being someone people can rely on if things get bad.

You already know that I think you're reliable, but I know what you mean.

Have you - tested what you're capable of now? I know you've demonstrated some things before, but -

Nothing scientific. I think I'm worried about burning out. But that's not a bad idea.

Maybe on the next stop? There's some things I want to test about my own limits, so - maybe it's something all of us could do.

Sounds like a good plan. Winn and Cisco would love to get the data, anyway.

Data is incredibly important.

Oh, I'm aware. I keep making friends with science-y people.

There are an abundance of us here.

We're just lousy with you people.

Heh. Every time I turn around there's a new one.

To be fair, I think space is the perfect place for you to end up.

That's true. It was never an - interest in the sense that I wanted to study it, per say, but it's always fascinated me.

Probably because you're barely past the moon landing?

Well - they've been sending things into space since I was a kid. Satellites and probes, things like that. The moon landing was just the first time anyone's step foot on the moon.

That's still amazing to me... I had already been to 11 planets by the time I was 12.

Don't rub it in or anything. [he huffs, but he's smiling] How many in our solar system?

Earth was my 12th. Otherwise, we stayed in our own star system.

I'm definitely jealous.

The closest I get to that is watching Star Trek on TV.

You mentioned liking that before. Seems like it was really influential for you.

I wouldn't say influential - but I'm a fan of the genre. It's one of the few things I actually watch every week.
