004 ◉ audio; dated to the 14th

[imaginate]

[ The audio clicks on and there's a long pause. When Kyle speaks, his tone is calm, perfectly controlled. It's his Business Voice, blank save for the barest hint of anger. ]

This is Kyle Rayner of the Green Lantern Corps. I apologise for the inconvenience, but our clinic at EA-3B is currently undergoing repairs and won't be able to take more patients at this time. We'll be temporarily operating a backup at WA-1A. [ He attaches a map, showing where it is. ]

Any and all hands with medical experience or healing abilities are always welcome.

[ Another long pause. ]

And if someone could come collect Avatar Korra, that would be appreciated.

[ There is a brief pause, as though he's debating what more to say, before the audio clicks off. ]

[Now that the powers are back, Jaime's in full-on Beetle mode-- just to give poor Khaji Da some air after the mess that was Malicant.]

Everything okay, Kyle? [He frowns.] My powers are back, by the way, so the Scarab can help with detecting injuries and that sort of stuff.

[For Jaime? Kyle turns on video.]

We're good, no one was injured. [Then, he grins.] That's useful, s'long as you don't use it to make me go see a doctor.

[escarabajo]

Thank goodness. And I won't, promise! We already went over that one, remember?

[He still smiles.]

Can the Scarab just detect injuries, or does it heal other people, too?

[escarabajo]

It definitely heals me. I don't know about others-- I've never tried, but I don't think there's any direct Heal Button or anything.

[Completely serious:]

Have you tried asking it to make a Heal Button?

[OPENS MOUTH and closes mouth because wow, he really should've thought of that.]

Nnnno. [Please hold.]

Er. It says... something about that not being its "designation"? Makes sense, though, when your original purpose-- yeah, not your current one, I'm just saying-- is to blow up planets.

[pause.] Yeah, because "subjugate" sounds WAY better, Scarab.

perma-that

[imaginate]

Makes sense, yeah. [A pause.] Is there a way to get it to stop setting my ring off? I keep getting a random migraine whenever it senses you, and even over these the proximity is too close.

[escarabajo]

[He cringes.]

Scarab's kind of off, too, but I don't know how much of that is the powers coming back and how much is Lanterns. Maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it? Guy was okay after a while.

[imaginate]

[He nods, and glances at the ring.]

Well, it says it can't permanently mute because you're apparently a huge threat [HEAVY SIGH], so let's go with slowly getting used to the specific frequency or something.

[escarabajo]

Sorry.

I'll try to get the Scarab to tone down its Reachvibes whenever you're around too.

[imaginate]

Ringvibes is a cool word, though.

[escarabajo]

I was gonna say ringwaves, but that works too. It's kinda catchy.

We know they're frequencies, Scarab. Shh.

[imaginate]

[Another million-dollar smile, just for you bro.]

I'll let you know if I need anything, yeah?

[escarabajo]

[Jaime gives a short little wave, smiling back.]

You know where to find me.
