[When the video feed starts, there's nothing but the side of a black chair, the man sitting in it was looking away from the monitor in thought. The background was obviously a suite in the Fire Sector, if the elegant design and the lit yellow and red hanging lanterns were anything to go by. As the man looked out the window behind him, he finally spoke.]

If any foreigners have new information regarding those that reside in the palace, I urge you to contact me as soon as possible. It’s become quite apparent that the Emperor is rather selective with whom she shares information with.

[That deep, penetrating voice was one of idle interest, which may have been because he seemed distracted. Finally, the chair turned from whatever had his attention. The man was sitting straight and he gave a guileful look down to the camera, straight at the viewers.]

It has also come to my attention that I am not the only one from my "world" as it were. Some of you may have seen others wearing similar clothing to mine. [Blue eyes with green flecks glanced downward at the Starfleet symbol on his black, long-sleeve shirt.] I’ll spare you the details of my "home". You may call me: Khan. [There was a dark purr of satisfaction on the last word. Having free reign to use his actual name for the first time in over year was incredibly satisfying.]

Many have called for unity amongst us "foreigners" and I am ready to do what must be done so we not only get the answers we want, but also to eliminate this menace we were summoned to fight. My combat and strategic knowledge are available for any effective measures against this essence known as Malicant.

[If he’s fully aware of what saying that name means, the only give away would be his eyes becoming lidded as he raised his eyebrows upon uttering the name.]

There is also the abundance of foreigners with powers and abilities above and beyond the limits of baseline individuals. If a list has been made of these beings and their known capabilities, I request a copy if possible.

[A beat filled with an almost imperceptible squint.]

Thank you for your time, that is all.

[95% Encryption; Pepper Potts]

I believe Stark Industries is the leading force in technological advancement in Keeliai. Ms. Potts, I would like a tour of your facilities and a description for each of the positions you have available; and the ones that are not. I believe you'll find my extensive knowledge of technology to be an asset. Even to the considerable pool of intellect currently in your employ.

[100% Starfleet Encryption; Jim Kirk, Spock.]

Contact me as soon as possible. Whether it is over the network or in person does not matter to me.

[He leaned forward in his chair]

I imagine we both have questions that need answers.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

That's because most of the people here wouldn't know fun if it gave them an enema. Bunch of stuck up losers.

[ She flips her hair behind her shoulder, studying him. ]

Heavenly Weapons. Swords, to be exact.

[A smile was attempting to crawl it’s way along his lips. She was a small breath of fresh air in the sea of foreigners that were clinging to the way their lives were back in their home worlds.]

A jolt of activity might loosen then up then. [He inclined his head, interested at her statement.]

The weapons we use are energy based, mainly for ranged combat. [Though he was very skilled with melee weapons, bladed weapons included.] What properties does “Heavenly” entail?

Hey, I'm open to ideas. It's going to be hell listening to them bitch and moan for another six months, and this is from someone who's actually been to Hell.

[ A vague wave, unimpressed by his claimed weaponry. ]

My sister uses a gun, they're not as much fun. And Heavenly as in... Heaven. Don't tell me I'm going to have to start from the beginning here.

[He definitely agreed with the bitching and moaning part. A large portion of the network posts were fairly useless and was usually along the lines of a foreigners dislike of their personal problems or the situation at large with no contribution towards a solution.]

Not unless you feel the need to, both Heaven and Hell were well known during the time period I was born in.

[There had been another mention of an angel on the network that required some hacking, but Balthazar seemed to be unrelated to Stocking.]

How do you view your sudden stay on this enormous reptile?

Oh good. I'm getting sick of having to explain it to every idiot who can't get their basic theology right.

Mostly? A break. It's not all bad being away from that damned afro priest and my sister's loud mouth for a while. But at the same time, I'm not killing any Ghosts and I'm not making any Heaven Coins while I'm here, and any that Panty earns, she sure wouldn't share with me.

Some would say that we are facing a ghost; an evil essence. That would make you an important figure on this forced vacation, wouldn’t it? Juulan will have to replace those coins in the mean time it seems.

Enjoy the leave of your sister while it lasts. Apparently anyone form any time can find themselves here.

[Propping his elbows on the arm rest, he steepled his fingers as his eyes looked off screen. Not even the name of her sister seemed to perturb him as it had most.]

There had been an incident, before my arrival obviously, that involved specters after the satellite crash. May I ask how your celestial blades fared against them?

[He wasn’t actually sure if she even fought against them, it was just a hunch.]

[ It's nice to be told she's important truthfully, so Stocking quiets down a little from her haughty attitude. At his inquiry she smiles smugly. ]

Like a fork through meringue, they didn't stand a chance. Don't know why everyone else had such trouble with them!

[And that hunch paid off. While Khan is practically incapable of smiling genuinely, his features soften slightly.]

They lack your gifts. [Stocking persevered where others could not. That made her superior to others, which made her useful to Khan.]

There’s a possibility a few of their containers may still be in Keeliai. [Let it be known that Khan always did his homework.] Eccentric kedan. [Of course, no sane individual would keep them.]

Were I able to acquire one, would you feel up to the task of allowing me to see your weapons in action? [Of course he would do so in a controlled environment with his phaser rifle ready as a back-up.]

[ That's the most interesting thing she's been asked lately. ]

You really think you can find some of them? If you do, I suppose I could give you a show.

Very well, I shall see what I can find and contact you should I locate one. [Reason enough to get him out of that suite.]
