[ 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. ]

I think it's to protect the turtle, or the people on it. Probably.

That would make sense. The kedan seem nice enough, in general. [ Protecting them from say, insane alien invaders bent on destruction might not be so bad. ]

For the most part they're not murderous. Anyway, if the turtle's in trouble, it's self-preservation at this point, too.

I don't know how I could help a turtle if it was in trouble. I barely even know what a turtle is.

I'd say 'if something's attacking it, punch it' is a good place to start.

I'm sure you've got good instincts, though. It'll come.

What would attack a giant turtle covered in people?

Off-hand? Alien invaders. Or maybe a giant shark would be looking for a snack.

[ Alien invaders are obviously a rarity, but- ]

Are those common? Giant sharks?

I've never run into one--but I hadn't run into giant turtles before this place, either.

If you've got giant herbivorous sea-life, giant carnivorous sea-life seems likely.

At least it would be something solid to defend against. [ Even if she doesn't know what a shark is. If it's carnivorous it's probably dangerous. ]

No kidding. And straightforward to deal with, too.
