[ Kara spends some time familiarizing herself with her surroundings before trying to send a message. It's all very strange, very alien, but no more so than Earth is. Once she feels collected enough to do so she turns her attention to the console. It isn’t quite like anything she’s ever used before, but the technology is close enough to what she’s used to on Krypton that after a bit of fiddling around she manages to get the video feed on and recording. She takes a deep breath and addresses the network. ]

I’m told that people are brought here from all over the place. If that’s true, and you can all understand me… [ She doesn’t really get how that works, but she sincerely hopes that it does. Otherwise, she’s on her own. Again. ]

I need to know. How many of you know the planet Krypton? And what do you know about it?

[ She almost adds a ‘please’, because if nobody here has answers for her then she won’t know anything until she returns home. If she returns home. But instead she clenches her jaw and turns off the feed. ]

It's not your fault. I just hope it's over with now.

Maybe. And if it's not, you can hang out here with us until it is.

[ That actually sounds really nice. She thinks she'll do that. Only, ]

Where is 'here', exactly? The... turtle?

For now. Unless you wanted to check out the mainland for yourself.

What's on the mainland? [ She thinks she'd rather stay where she knows people's names for now, but it's worth asking about. ]

I've only been out once so far, but it's basically like a ghost town. An entire city all burned and twisted. And there are these creatures too, except I didn't run into any when I was there.

I guess it's moreso about trying to find out why than going for fun. Or seeing what else might be left.

That sounds serious. [ But... it's not really her problem. Or her business. And she just got here. ]

I think I need some time to settle in, though.

Where are you staying?

In the Fire Sector, they called it. I like the designs.

I still need to figure out how they do some of those fires. They seem like magic to me.

They're my favorite. They remind me of the Firefalls on Krypton.

What's that? I mean, I assume it has something to do with falling fire. But what's it look like?

It's beautiful. Giant crystals in shades of red and orange and pink, lava flowing under and around them. There's nowhere like it.

Wow.

It sounds amazing.

It is. Was. [ She turns a bit somber again. ]

I wish I could show you. But it looks a bit like the glowing surfaces in the Fire Sector.

I'd consider that an acceptable substitute.
