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.

No time to learn like the present, right?

[She blinks, confused.]

...to learn what, exactly?

[ audio ]

[signifies]

About the new appliances?

[ She blinks. ] Oh. Oh! I see what you mean. No, I know how ovens work. We just didn't have them like this back home.

[signifies]

Oh! All right.

Well, I'll let you know when I start working on it?

[ audio ]

[watermarks]

Sure. [With a little shrug.]

There's plenty of opportunities to earn some money on the planet, so now would probably be a good time. I'll see if I can find any places that sell things like ovens... Though they'll probably all be decorated in team colors.

[...which means they'll be blue, if she has anything to say about it. Go Waves!]

Thank you, Katara. I'll let you know when I'm ready to get started.

Sounds good, Clark. If you get stir-crazy up there by yourself, just give me a call, okay?

[ She hates the idea of someone being up there for a week by themselves. ]

I will. Thank you, Katara.
