[Hello, Keeliai, it's your friendly neighborhood Atlantean princess who acts like an American college student.]

So, most of the..."satellite" is really not the word--it's basically a space station--is about forty feet underwater. There's some scattered stuff deeper, but we water-breathers can take care of rounding up those bits. If any air-breathers, especially you techy types, want to go exploring, I got Mr. Stark to whip up a few sets of breathing gear real quick.

[She holds up some scuba equipment, which seems deceptively light in her hands, given that those tanks can weigh a good 50 pounds when full.]

You don't have to worry about getting scuba-certified or anything. It's not deep enough that you need any of those weird gas mixes or that ascending too fast would kill you. I'll go down with anybody who wants and make sure nothing bad happens.

Can you explain what a satellite or a space station is for those of us who don't regularly float things into the sky?

I might take a look around; I'm no fishman, but I have spells that would allow me to carry my own air without Mister Stark's machines.

It's like a moon, only made by people. And usually a lot smaller. If you're calling something a "space station," that means it's big enough for people to live on, like a ship or submarine. A satellite technically means anything up in orbit, but mostly people mean smaller ones with no crew when they say that.

So, there were people on there at one point?

Hope they left before the thing came crashing down.

Probably. I mean, it could have been robots-- [yes, Nita, the guy who doesn't know what a satellite is will totally know about robots] --uhhhhh, automatons, but it was probably people. I didn't see any bodies, but I didn't go that far into the wreckage, either.

[ As much as it pains him, Amon puts aside his scientific curiosity to attend to the matter at hand. Anything man-made capable of launching into space however...that was defiantly going on the top of his 'To Poke' list. ]

Should be doable, [ Waterbending. Only for you, Nita ] but I'm tied up at the moment seeing to a rash of burn victims as a result of the crash landing.

[Dude, she doesn't need waterbending for this. If you want to go on an awkward not-date, just say so.]

The burn victims are way more important than this.

[Look at him, turning into someone who can see human decency in the distance if he squints.]

[ see also: things that will not be said from the hip ever. ]

Ah- Agreed. I'm letting my own selfish curiosity get in the way, but I would like to make an effort to see what's left of the crash first hand.

[ Hurriedly he adds, ] Only when I can, of course.

[ Stares moodily into the middle distance at a glimmer of humanity. Nice save. ]

[Accidentally shaming villains into slightly less socially unacceptable behavior since sometime last year.]

Are there are a lot of bad burns?

[ Oh how the time awkwardly flies. ]

It would be markedly easier if tossing them in the water hastened their recovery.

[Pepper can't help the bright smile at seeing Namorita again. She's always found her to be such a sweet person (and so peppy too!) It's really been way too long since they last talked.]

I take it Tony's already picked through what he wants then?

[Because there's no use sending out a party if Tony already has.]

[Hi, Pepper! Nita likes basically everyone who's not actively a jerk.]

I'm not sure if he's been down or not. I didn't ask and he mostly talked about air pressure after I explained what I needed.

[Oh, Tony.]

[Oh Tony is right. She can't help the fond smile that crosses her face. It's just like Tony to get caught up in work that's being offered.]

Well that explains a lot. Should we send any more hands down there or are you all full up?

[He pauses and gives a small arch of his eyebrow.] You breathe underwater as well?

Yeah, I'm Atlantean.

[Nita can't tell if "as well" means Garth's talking about himself or all the other Atlanteans besides her. She's squinting at him, looking for gills.]

So that's what Arthur was talking about when he said there was more of us.

[He smiles slightly.] He mentioned we had good company around.

... space station.

[Bucky shakes his head.]

Yeah, some things are not going to stop surprising me anytime sooner. You be careful and everything?

Bucky, there's not a lot that can slow me down underwater.

[Her ego might be annoying if she weren't so thoroughly nice.]

[Pffft.]

So? Be careful, anyway. Won't hurt, will it?

I might get bored.

Wow. Asking me to go down with you already. I wouldn't be a gentleman if I said no.

[...Oh damn, no urge to be totally sarcastic in replying to this. She's going to end up dating Johnny Storm. Again. Not that she remembers the first time, but she's still not sure how she feels about the entire concept.]

I think you might have that idiom slightly wrong.

I know a lot of women who would disagree.

Oh? Maybe you should get one of them to take you diving.
