Who: Clark Kent and you.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: Aboard the Marsiva.
When: The week of his arrival.

I don't suppose I could click my heels three times. . . [ Only Clark gets his little joke. ]

I'll keep this brief. My name is Clark - I'm from Kansas.

[ He's been the new guy at work often enough to sound chill about this, but he is feeling a little shaky having woken up here in the middle of his workday. To top it off, not being able to hear his mother's heartbeat is jarring.

There's some stress baking in Clark's future. ]

What do you make of this place? I'm curious to know how it compares to where you come from.

[ All that anger.

Clark just hurts for him. ]

Yes, there are. [ Himself included. ]

You sound like you know a thing or two about it.

[ His tone is more curious than condescending. Everything is possible in the fleet. There are even gods. Who is to say that another one hasn't shown up? ]

[ He pauses. ]

I might.

[ He doesn't like to presume he's above all. Clark, until recently, had never met anyone who's as strong as him.

And here? Kara is. ]

But I think that's a conversation best had over a cup of coffee, don't you?

If you want to keep it semi-private, yeah. With this, anyone can listen.

[ It's an interesting idea, of course. Sitting down for a chat with someone of unknown strength. There are plenty of ways to get to know somebody, and this way seems unfamiliar to him. It's a little nostalgic, isn't it? ]

Then why don't we talk when I'm off the Marsiva?

Okay. I'm on the Red Fish, or we could meet on the Iskaulit?

Wherever you'd like, Carl.

[ He'd like Carl to feel safe meeting him. ]

Sure, I'd like that. Either is fine, but most people tend to think the Red Fish is kind of creepy. So maybe the Iskaulit. There's a pretty good diner.

Over brunch, then, on the Iskaulit?

Sounds like a plan.

See you soon, Carl.
