Awright, lets get this over with quick.
[ Ben's been loitering for a few days in the Marisva, getting his bearings, read'n up on what he could about this place, but some stuff you only get through good old fashioned talking face to face. Or face to camera. A huge, craggy, orange face fills the screen, all worn and weathered and animate like stone probably shouldn't be. There's a slow blink and a low sigh, the Thing rolling out his shoulders and settling in for a fun series of conversations. ]
Ben Grimm here of The Fantastic Four and Avengers ask'n for a headcount. Who all's here, who ain't, and which version of earth are ya from?
[ It ain't his first rodeo, it ain't even his tenth- it is his second in one of these weird 'crammed in a jaw and hope noth'n blows up' sortsa places though. Seems a bit nicer than Luceti. For one thing: Space! For another: he gets to pilot. ]
And can we skip the 'oh gosh gee you're all big and orange and rocky!' like I don't know. You're in space, you've gotta have seen stranger things than me by now.

After a prolonged silence, he just nods, looking away from the screen.]

He ain't gonna hold on for that much luck, though. For either of them. ]
Now that we're done be'n all...dark and heavy- how's things here with the Fleet? People still kick'n up snits about mutants be'n mutants or is everyone so weird no one cares? Now much @#$! am I gonna have to deal with?

Most have never heard of us, and most I've spoken to don't care. Or, they fail to understand why the difference is important. There are plenty of other races represented here, though humans are the majority. We're currently docked on a moon whose race is human in appearance, but there are other species around. No one has batted an eyelid so far.
[And if he doesn't sound particularly impressed or derisive about it, it's because of experience. He's done this dance before. Kyriakos and the library were similar enough, in that no one there either understood or cared that mutants were different. This third trip hasn't rocked the boat much, except that the mutant population is much larger.]
