[ Kara looks quite pleased with herself today, and for good reason too. See, she's done some very basic calculations, and she's pretty happy with the answer. ]

Dean's questions got me wondering, so I looked up Earth's orbital frequencies and calendars. It turns out that the approximate equivalent of my birthday is September 22nd. That's about five months from now, if I have the order right.

As it also turns out, in Earth years I'll be turning 23. I guess Kryptonians live a lot longer than Terrans. Who knew?

[ Everyone probably knew, but Kara is just so smug. ]

[ She giggles. Giggles, Slevin. ]

I can hardly wait.

[It's a nice sound. He smiles.]

Try not to get too bored in the interim.

[ A smile from Slevin is the ultimate victory. ]

How ever shall I spend the time?

You could always try solving half a dozen Rubiks cubes. Something tells me that'll qualify as a children's toy for you, too.

[notdreaming]

What's a Rubiks cube?

[ She has not been breached any time past the 80s. ]

[andyougoleft]

It's...

A puzzle box. You twist it around and try to get all the colors on the same side, but every time you turn one another one moves. I can solve one reasonably quickly, but most people can't.

[notdreaming]

Oooh. Sounds fun.

[ She does enjoy a good puzzle. ]

Ask the Admiral for one. Or anyone from Earth that doesn't need a TV explained to them.

I forgot to bring mine, and all.

[notdreaming]

I'll have to do that. It's called a Rubik's Cube, you said?

[andyougoleft]

That's the one.

[notdreaming]

I'll let you know when I'm done with it.
