[OH HEY IT'S STEVE in full-on Captain America battledress.]

As I'm sure many of you are aware, we'll be making landfall soon - and it sounds like we'll need intervening time to prepare. I'm going to take a survey team out, see what we can find, collect some things that the kedan have requested. I'd be willing also to get soil samples and whatever else the scientists here from... off-turtle? Off-world?

[A small smile and he refocuses on the transmission.] In any case. I'll be putting together supplies for a team of no more than six, myself included, for a ten-day span in rough terrain. Five days out, five day return. It will not be pleasant and it will be dangerous.

[He pauses.] A few of you already know you'll be coming with me. [PEGGY, BUCKY, HE'S LOOKING AT YOU.] I'm prepared to take volunteers or recommendations.

Miss Favrielle, I hoped we might talk about protective clothing for the trip. I know it's short-notice, but I'm capable of compensating you.

[Protective clothing isn't her forte, however...she's willing to give it a try with some guidance.]

For yourself, or your entire party?

[She purses her lips together, thinking. She could speak with her contacts at the shop where she used to work. Certainly the kedan likely have a good idea of what to expect...]

I'll need to know what sort of terrain you'll be encountering and if there are any specific functions you need the clothing to handle.

I'm more concerned about the other members of my party, to be honest.

From what I gather it's arid, ashy - my biggest worry is providing some way to filter ash out of the air so folks can breathe.

Should I be packing some of that alcohol?

[Yes, he's coming. No, he's not letting that one go. Ever.]

Probably best to leave the party at base. [So very dry.]

[wallcrawler]

[Aaand then there's this guy, answering from a console in a net cafe somewhere. From the look of things outside the window behind him, it's probably in the Metal district.]

Got room for one more in the expedition, or have we reached the quota for red and blue outfits?

[All joking aside though, Pete's just as curious about what's out there as anyone else.]

[Video]

[usavatar]

[O...kay. Not like Steve can really talk. He'll roll with it.] We do have room.

[BUT YOU SOUND YOUNG.] What are your qualifications?

action

[shootingshields]

[What is overhearing!! Peggy will just kind of walk over to stand behind him after he finishes and ends the transmission.]

[...and potentially listen in on further conversations. But that remains to be seen.]

You'll have to let me use the console if you really want me to hear that message.

[Because of course she's coming with but really.]

action forever

[usavatar]

[He grins up and back at her.] Is your answer a resounding no?

[ancillary]

I'm part of the reconnaissance team set to head out soon as we hit groundside. My advice is we keep in contact in the event either one of us needs backup.

Makes sense. Do you have specifics regarding your objectives?

[plains_hunter]

[What the HELL is this guy wearing? Better to try and ignore it. Just focus, Thomas. FOCUS.]

I think I'll leave the mysterious adventures to better people. I'll root for you guys, I guess.

[usavatar]

[AMERICA.]

Not better. More reckless, maybe.

You're new?

[video]

[littlecousin]

This really isn't my scene, Cap, sorry.

[Desert. It's like Supes wearing a kryptonite pendant.]

I am gonna dive on the ocean side of the turtle and see if I can hit seabed, though.

[video]

[usavatar]

Good idea. Let me know what you find - and. [A crooked smile, since she's more than a match for your average kedan.] I'd say 'be careful', but try not to be too reckless.

[andaway]

Would it be possible for me to get a look at the requested items?

[He volunteered to go with Aisha but he'd like to help.]

[usavatar]

Of course. [After his last talk with Batman, Steve wasn't sure - isn't really - where he stands with Superman. The response is a strange sort of relief.] Do you want samples of what we bring back?

[video]

[dadissues]

...There's a mainland?

[video]

[usavatar]

...I take it you haven't listened to the kedan's gossip lately.

[video]

[withoutaworld]

Mind if I tag along? [ Pls ignore the fact that she looks as eager as a puppy that wants to go on a walk, Steve. She is totally up for this. ]

[video]

[usavatar]

Sure. I mean no, of course not. [HOW DO YOU SHOT TALKING TO YOUR SORT OF BUT NOT REALLY BUT MAYBE IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE GRANDDAUGHTER EXCEPT NOT AT ALL?

Okay no Steve you just. Talk to her. Like you talked to her before.] You'd be welcome, is what I'm trying to say.

[video]

[idkmybffcyclops]

You actually wear that in public? [No one saw this coming?]

[video] I cackled

[usavatar]

Sometimes I even get a parade and a cape that looks like the flag. It has more stars. [Completely. Deadpan.]

[video]

[histruename]

[Jeez. Who the heck is this guy?

Actually, he kind of reminds him of someone...]

I was thinking of going out there myself, just to see what there is to see.

Can't say I'm too interested in soil samples, but if you're still looking for volunteers, you can count me in.

[So either way he plans on going. He just thinks maybe joining a group would be a better idea. This guy looks pretty capable, after all.]

[video]

[usavatar]

You'll... round us out. [Give him a second. Because you remind him of someone too. A RED SKULLED SOMEONE. He coughs, getting himself together before he speaks again.] Captain Steve Rogers. You are?

[Plz to not be saying Johann or Schmidt.]

Only to do what the kedan requested?

same et cetera

[usavatar]

Not only. Maybe we can get some idea of what we're here for in the process - at least an idea of why some of the kedan are so apprehensive to go ashore.
