001 they send me away to find them a fortune
Who: Jean Grey
Broadcast: Fleet Wide
Action: N/A
When: 5 April
( Jean isn't a stranger to space. She isn't a stranger to time travel. She is, however, a stranger of being kidnapped to a space fleet, released, and kidnapped back. What's the deal? What's so special about her that the Atroma want to bring her back for another round? She's a telepath, sure, but there's other telepaths in the world. There's other mutants. She isn't any better than the rest of them. Still, there's a whisper in the back of her mind that she tamps down and locks shut - something she vacuum seals to keep it from contaminating the rest of her mind. You have the Phoenix Force. You're chosen. It's always you. Death and rebirth, cycling on. She turns on the camera and decides to just do it live. Stream of consciousness is still a thing in 2019, isn't it? )
Look, I was here before. The people were cool but the forced captivity was something I wasn't a fan of. I'm just a girl, ok? There's no reason why I need to be here over anyone else and I have shit I need to do back home. How do you get the Atroma to spring you permanently? Do you have to pay them off or something? Because I think I could swing something. I've got friends in high places.
( It's probably useless but Jean feels the need for agency. So much of her life depends on teamwork, on relying upon others to do the right thing and do their part and she's not someone who likes relinquishing control. It takes everything in her not to just take over; this is why group projects were never a good idea in school and should be permanently banned. The Atroma can stab themselves in the eye with a rusted spork for all she cares. She just wants to go home, finish her mission, grab a slice and do the same thing tomorrow. That's it. The normal desires of a twentysomething with the most dangerous job in the world, right? Right. )
Seriously, though. I'm not here for it. I just need to get back home and if anyone has left and come back before, hit me with your ideas. I'm not above telekinetically frying all the circuits on this piece of shit just to make a point. I think it might end in some consequences I don't want, though, so if you have ideas that aren't going to turn me into a vegetable, I'm all ears.

no subject
( Jean actually doesn't mind, though. She props her device up so she can record hands free and sits cross-legged on the floor, maintaining the appearance of zen even if she is far from it. )
You do have a point, though. It's an exclusive club, leaving and not coming back.
no subject
[Because Peter here knew of the Interceptor fleet, but he had yet to interact with anyone from it himself. So his information on them was very limited.]
Though I do wonder if the only reason nobody's come back after figuring out how to leave is something else. Like because they can't figure out how, because the tech needed to do it is something that only exists here. That sort of thing.
[Or they never actually went home at all, and the Atroma are just keeping them locked up someplace. But he'll be considerate and not actually share that possibile explanation. Definitely not the time or the place, and it wasn't exactly great to think about on top of that.]
no subject
( Still, he brings up good points, and Jean nods along with most of them. He's thought about this for a long time, clearly, and he's explored several angles of it. This isn't something idle or half-assed - this is a real analysis of the shit that they're in right now whether it's a happy ending or not. )
You bring up points that need to be looked into, though.
