001 - Begin at the beginning

[ Since the breach Kara has taken the time to adjust to being herself again, aand then a few hours to sit and cry at the sight of her parent’s home on Argo. She knew that she was here to revive her planet and win back her old life, but it was a lot to take in in a relatively short time. The empty house, the cold darkness outside windows that once showed magnificent sunsets and the sparkling crystal spires of some of the finest architecture on Krypton. Her clothes, more comfortable than she even remembered.

But finally she has collected herself, and put on her favorite green dress with a white cape pinned to it around her shoulders. It feels nice. It fits. She addresses the camera with dignity if not confidence. ]

Hello. My name is Kara Zor-El, and I’m a new warden here. Looking over your network I understand that the… last few days is a somewhat regular occurance? [ This she’s not so sure of, and she really hopes she doesn’t sound like a total moron. Still, only one way to find out. ]

I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me more specifically what exactly happened?

[ Infirmary Filter ]

I’d also like to know how much experience you have in treating Kryptonians, if any.

[ooc | Kara has Kryptonite poisoning, which for our purposes is basically radiation poisoning. In canon this will probably be a plot device, but I don't care or want to deal with it, so free cr to the doctor that picks up her treatment! ]

[Magic is the worst answer.]

I've tried to be braced for weirdness since my arrival. Which was closely followed by several days of being a pirate and has not gotten any less weird. Preparedness helps.

Sort of.

[notdreaming]

Are pirates a common theme?

[deshabille]

It seems like they might be. Maybe this is the Admiral's secondary career choice, after pirate.

[notdreaming]

[ Wow that is so not what she wanted to hear. ]

He can do what he says, can't he? People have had their contracts fulfilled? [ She chews her thumbnail worriedly. ]

[deshabille]

He can do it. No tricks on that front, as far as I can tell. The deals come through. But in the meantime you have all of this to deal with.

And pirates.

[notdreaming]

[ She relaxes visibly. Rough she can deal with. ]

That's alright. I knew it wouldn't be easy.

[deshabille]

[She smiles. Good. This is a very good attitude to have.]

Few things are.

I'm Mal. Also a warden. Not much more experienced in this than you are, with my two months' seniority, but - if you have other questions . . .

[notdreaming]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mal. Honestly I don't think I've been here long enough to know what questions to ask. Do you have any advice for a new warden?

[deshabille]

Well, the advice I was going to give you was not to give up in the face of strangeness, but I think you've already got that covered.

[notdreaming]

It's hard to do much stranger than the month or so I've had, pirates or not.

[deshabille]

Sounds like a story there.

[notdreaming]

[ She grimaces. ]

It probably is, but it's not a very pleasant one. [ Read: she doesn't really feel like sharing just yet, with the many near-deaths so close behind her. ]

[deshabille]

Hmm. Maybe later, then.

[notdreaming]

Yes. Maybe another time. [ Give her a month or two and she'll feel better. Probably. ]

Out of curiosity, is there a map of this ship? Or just a listing of amenities on each floor?
