[The Feed turns into to reveal a lovely, young female with bright blue eyes and emerald skin. Her expression remains fairly neutral, although there are hints of emotions flickering if one were to observe closely enough. Curiosity. Excitement. Determination. And, for a fleeting moment...sadness.]

[After all, she had only just gotten her family back.]

Greetings.  I am Aya.

[Her voice is robotic, yet somehow still warm.  She shows no signs of alarm by her surroundings, having experienced far worse scenarios in her travels.]

Admittedly, I do not fully understand why I appear to have been separated from my crew.  The four of us would have preferred to arrive together to your Sector aboard our ship, has a distress call simply been placed.  However, given the circumstances, it would be unfitting for a Green Lantern not to offer one's assistance in any way possible before I seek my return.

In addition, if there is any individual who has knowledge of the location of the Interceptor, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Seargent Kilowag, or Red Lantern Razer, the information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

... excuse me, I've seen mention of Lanterns on the network, but probably haven't gone far enough back to see if anyone's asked but...

What does it mean? Green Lantern, Red Lantern?

[Hi, neighbor.]

[Hello.]

They are titles bestowed upon those who wield conduits of their respective energy spectrums. A Green Lantern, for example, is one who serves the greater good, helping others who are otherwise incapable of helping themselves--even at the risk of one's own life--though the use of Green Energy powered by Will.

[... okay, she followed that, though her eyes narrowed slightly - helping others who are otherwise incapable of helping themselves even at the risk of one's own life was totally a thing a lot of people that Cassie knew did. But she still had a question!]

Energy conduit to what?

[looksfine]

[There was an expression that she had heard in the past. Actions speak louder than words. While she would argue that the statement was nonsensical in the most literal of terms, she had come to understand that it simply meant a demonstration would be able to offer more than a lengthy verbal explanation.]

[So Aya held up a palm, summoning a bit of the Green Energy inside her. Her hand began to glow with raw power.]

This.

[animosus]

[Those sure are names he recognises. The Interceptor was a ship he got Stel to restore and Aya was the operating system, but he sure didn't remember her getting a body. He also distinctly remembers leaving the ship on the Green House for use in emergencies.

And if he hadn't been basically outed as a Lantern by his other self already, this would screw him over so badly.]

...Aya, where'd you get the robot?

video;

[looksfine]

[PAPA!]

[The look on Aya's face could easily be interpreted as relief the moment Hal appears on screen. She was neither surprised at his presence, nor immediately aware of any visual discrepancies. Although his words momentarily gave her pause. Just long enough to glance behind her. Then to one side. Then the other.]

What robot?

video;

[animosus]

[He makes vague motions with his hands.]

Your-- [Everything.]

[justlittle]

I am unfamiliar with the names you mentioned, but I do know that Green Lantern Rayner is here..

[looksfine]

[A quick scan of her database proved...no information on that name. Although this was not unheard of; it could easily have been a Lantern recruited after her last update.]

I am unfamiliar with Green Lantern Rayner.

Are you familiar with his designated sector?

[justlittle]

I'm assuming you mean sector of space, before being taken here. I know only that he was stationed on a planet called Oa. In terms of his sector here, he operates out of a headquarters in the Earth Sector.

[Kyle's been avoiding the network. He has no real wish to welcome anybody when there's plenty of other people who can do it, and anyway, he's forcing a bit of reclusiveness until this entire ghosting thing is over. Probably.]

[Except today he just feels... weird. An odd warmth - hearing an old, familiar song. He looks up, and around, it's not coming from him or the ring... Upon requesting confirmation, he stares at the results on the screen he brought up to scan the turtle. No. That's not possible.]

[Ion.]

[He takes to the air and tracks the source, and finds himself at Aya's suite. He knocks on the window.]

action;

[looksfine]

[Aya had just ended a particularly enlightening conversation with another individual who had been brought to Keelai, when there was a knock at her window. She turned towards the source, and did not recognize the form behind it. Although she did recognize the signature of Green Energy.]

[Was this the other Lantern previously mentioned?]

[Her movements were fluid for an artificially constructed lifeform as she stood from her seat, crossing the small room in order to properly open the window. Her expression was pleasant, intending to make a favorable impression.]

I was not aware it was custom for those in this sector to arrive and depart at one's location via window.

[Other people tended to use the door. Usually. Sometimes]

[imaginate]

Doors are for boring people.

[A quip, and then he steps in, and looks at her. Absolutlely no recognition.]

Kyle Rayner, Honour Guard. And you are...?

audio;

[zinthosmantra]

[ Part of this is news to Raven. ]

There are other Lanterns, other than green?

audio;

[looksfine]

[Only part?]

Yes.

To my knowledge, there are currently four known variations. Green, Red, Blue, and the Violet Star Sapphires.

Re: audio;

[zinthosmantra]

[ Only part. Though clearly Raven needs to brush up on her extraterrestrial homework. ]

Have the Green Lanterns here made contact with you yet?

[cmdreffingshepard]

Hi, Aya. I'm Commander Shepard. [Shepard isn't fazed at all by her appearance or address or tone of voice or anything, really. Shepard's good at the unfazed thing. Kind of comes with the territory, where she comes from.]

As much as it would be logical to send out a distress signal, from what I understand it's not possible to get people here in the conventional way. This place doesn't exist in the physical universe as we know it.

video;

[looksfine]

[Aya was actually used to people accepting her existence--or, at least, the fact that she did exist--and thus did not think much more of the casual reaction.]

My apologies, Commander Shepard.

It was not my intention to imply in any way that I was distressed. I am simply looking for my fellow Lanterns.

video;

[cmdreffingshepard]

Oh, no, I didn't mean to imply you were! You just said that you would have preferred to come here in your ship, with your crew. I was just pointing out that it doesn't seem to be possible to get here like that. This world doesn't seem to exist in any of our physical universes.

[andaway]

Hello, Aya. I am Kal-El of Krypton, Space Sector 2813.

[Kal doesn't recognize the robot, but what he doesn't know about the Green Lanterns could probably fill a book. Hal wasn't exactly secretive about the whole thing and while Kyle had grown to be way more reserved about the whole thing he also knew some things had to be shared... but Kal had honestly kept to Earth and protecting it, and the Guardians respected that.]

You must have known by know Lantern Jordan is on the turtle as well, but I'm afraid Kilowog isn't here.

[looksfine]

It is a pleasure to meet you Kal-El of Kyprton.

[Very rarely did an individual introduce themselves according to their Space Sector number when not actually a Green Lantern, although the number in question--2813, adjacent to that of Earth's--hinted towards the possibility that this individual was an ally of Hal Jordan's. Which meant he was an ally of hers as well.]

[Aya nodded her acknowledgement of Jordan's presence, having already initiated contact by the time Kal-El greeted her, although her face saddened when he mentioned that Kilowag was not here as well. She was not as close to the Sergeant, but he was still a part of her family.]

[Though that left one name unaccounted for:]

Do you know where Razer is?

[Slightly hopeful, and in the moment, having forgone the formal title she usually bestowed upon others.]

[andaway]

[It only takes Kal a couple seconds to try to remember someone who goes by that name. He pulls a blank.]

I'm afraid I do not know who Razer is. [Kal himself tries to give each Lantern their respective titles, but Alan was only a Lantern by name so he didn't have a title, he'd known Hal almost since the beginning of their hero-ing and Kyle had been a kid to his eyes when he started... so it's hard to remember the organization some times.

Still, the lack of title hasn't gone unnoticed. He must be someone important.] Maybe Green Lantern will know?

[bolthead]

[Considering that he is always late to the party, Barry doesn't offer too much by way of confirming the presence (or absence) of the listed lanterns.]

I'm sure you've already been told Hal's here - [a tiny frown as he corrects himself] both of them - and that the other two aren't. Hopefully he's already found you, but if there's anything I can help with in the meantime, I'm happy to offer.

[looksfine]

[The reminder of multiple Hal Jordans--and neither of them, apparently, known to her until now--was less than pleasant. However, Aya chose to focus more on the latter part of his conversation. Considering he was right, and she had been told. Making the former a bit of a redundant point.]

I have spoken with both Hal Jordan, as well as another Green Lantern whose acquaintance I was not previously made aware of. The information they have since provided has been...interesting.

[bolthead]

'Interesting.'

[A word with so many meanings, depending on the context. He's not sure what the context is though. (Note to self: ask Hal about it later.)]

I hope whatever you've been told hasn't been too disappointing. [Since that usually seems to be the reaction upon arrival.]
