[There were two things unusual about Aya's Network Post today. The first was that her eyes glowed. A bright, iridescent green. Not so brightly that she could have been in the presence of a Blue Lantern, but certainly enough to indicate she was accessing the very core of her Energy.]

I will do my best to keep this transmission as ░▒░▒░░▒ as is within the range of my capabilities at this time.

[The second was that, even as she spoke...eyes still glowing...the distinct clicking sound of keys could be heard. Were one to pay close enough attention, the lower portions of her arms could be seen twitching. She was simultaneously coding and rerouting and altering the transmission.]

As the current head of the Wayne Enterprise Science Department, as well as ░▒░░▒ of Stark ░▒░░▒░▒░░▒ and member of the Green Lantern Corps, it is my responsibility to ░▒░░▒░▒░░▒ the resources which are currently available to me.

I have been working for approximately 32.7 hours consecutively, studying the ░▒░░▒░▒ that is effecting the consoles, and how I may circumvent these external controls. The highly complex meth--░▒░░▒░ ▒░░▒ are somewhat admirable, though I am ░▒░░▒░▒░░▒ to admit as much, given the most likely source. However, combined with the efforts of ░▒░░▒░ ▒░░▒░ ▒ ░░▒░▒░ ░▒░▒░░▒--

[A frown, and the transmission momentarily cuts out.]

[Then back in again.]

...that is better.

As I was saying, I am seeking those in Keelai with an expert knowledge in advanced programming and engineering who may aid me in my quest to fix this. Access will be granted to any and all resources I am currently within my ability to provide you.

You may contact me at this location. Be forewarned that no information exchanged will be deemed Classified.

Thank you.

{{GREEN LANTERN RING TRANSMISSION, with backdoor for BLUE LANTERN RING as well}}

I do not believe your rings have been compromised.

However, I cannot be certain at this time, as I do not possess one of my own to analyze.

Hey, I already know English now. Maybe you could teach me Spanish, it's what I was going to learn next.

[Returning the smile, Korra holds her ring.]

Sub-wavelengths? I didn't know there were others aside from radio.

...you mean Hal Jordan did not inform you?

[gdi Hal, this is what she was talking about.]

Your ring is capable of translating all known verbal languages in Guardian Space. If there were an individual aboard who spoke only Spanish, you would be able to converse with ease.

It does that too? [She looks at the ring in her fingers with some surprise.] I’m just used to everyone being able to understand each other thanks to Tu Vishan.

[Beat.]

But I would like to learn to read and write it. English is a tough language, so this one can’t be that hard, right?

I am, perhaps, not in an adequate position to judge the difficulty of any language.

I was born will a completed dictionary of Oan. And, as I am made of Green Lantern Energy, all languages have always been automatically translated for me.

If I can learn one language, then I could probably learn another. That is, if you’re up for it.

[Once she’s near the desk, Korra leans down to see what she’s doing on the console.]

Need me to send you a ring message?

[Nothing special at this particular moment; there were several conversations being shared with multiple individuals, including a highly scrambled text from MIke.]

Certainly. I would never object to any new learning opportunities.

And yes, please. I will analyze the message right away.

Done deal.

[Weird, that's not the Mike she's thinking of when she reads the name. But she can think on that later. Ring message time and Korra's transmission is a simple 'Monkey feathers, flying hog monkeys, poodle monkeys.']

There, I sent a primate message. [Ellie. Everyone can blame Ellie for rubbing off on Korra.]

[...she doesn't get it.]

Is there some particular significance to the emphasis on various of this one species?

[A-aya...]

Because it's a private message, but I made it a prim- [She sighs and shakes her head.] Nevermind.

[Your humor is wasted on her, Korra. Sorry.]

Regardless...I cannot detect any third party presences in the transmission at this time.

There is a 93.8 percent chance that our transmissions have remained unaffected by both the virus and any outside hacking.

[Time to start thinking of ways to get Aya a sense of humor.]

Sounds like they're pretty much safe to use. Can these pick up the radio signal from Clark's station?

[Many have tried. Very few have succeeded.]

If we adjust the frequency to coincide with their transmissions, it should not be difficult.

That's great! Could you adjust mine, or does it have to be done by me?

Because I'm going to be honest, I have no idea how to set that up.

It it not something I can do for you.

The ring is powered by your own will. If it is something you can formulate in your mind, you should be able to do it.

Now that I can do. We have radio and stuff back home, so that should be easy.

[She'll be taking that ring back if Aya's done.]

You can do it pretty easy too, right?

I possess all abilities granted to a single Green Lantern ring, yes.

[Which she contently returns to Korra.]

[Once she puts her ring back on, it takes no time at all for her to imagine getting the radio frequency through her ring, and the replay of Evandau's broadcast comes through. Smiling, Korra closed her fist confidently.]

This is cool. Okay, what's your schedule look like for some language lessons in the near future?

With several of my recent projects, there is very little time in the day or night in which I am not preoccupied with something. However, these hours are still relatively flexible.

Thus, I would be able to accomodate most any schedule that would be convenient for you.

[One thing she keeps forgetting is that Aya doesn’t sleep. Man, that’s weird.]

Alright. Mid-mornings might work. [She’s actually getting up early again.] We can do that during the week.

That would be fine.

So long as I am given prior notice, you are welcome here at any time.

You got it! I’ll send a ring-a-ling. [She’s on a roll, and it can’t even be appreciated. Not that it's stopping her from making herself chuckle.]

[At least one of them is enjoying Korra's jokes]

A simple message through transmission should suffice.

[Korra will find a way to get her to laugh. Somehow.]

Sure, I'll give you a heads up. Thanks, Aya!

You are most welcome.

I will see you later.
