[He examines the monitor with the passing familiarity of someone who knows how this works, but isn't entirely used to it and doesn't particularly like it. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed, solemn.]

Thank you, first of all, to the people who helped me out of the water and into the city. I hope some of you see this. If there's anything I can do to repay you for that, please don't hesitate to ask. My name is Steve. Steve Rogers. I'm a captain in the United States Army, from Earth, or Midgard, I guess, if you're familiar with that name. This… Well, I'm not sure what to make of it all, but I'm curious to know if anyone is trying or has tried to get to their homes from here.

Are there people from Earth here? Or other worlds. Anyone at all, really, who'd be willing to tell me more about what we're into.

I'm more than willing to meet wherever you feel most comfortable.

[A pause, a nod, and he turns off the feed.]

Consider it yelled.

[A dry ending to that cheesey opener. Ororo tries to take his question seriously, but he's talking all formal. Kind of like the SHIELD guys, which is not the best mental association for her. She settles on shrugging.]

There's this thing called the "anti-Foreigner" sentiment going around. It's like half the kedan suddenly got allergic to us and want to do something about it. [Note: She's exaggerating.]

You being in Fire puts you in the hot seat. [She winces.] No pun intended. Point is that there's a bunch of gangs there and they don't take too kindly to us. I wouldn't go out there alone, Cap. [A half salute accompanies the bastardisation of the title.] The kedan are a lot tougher than they look.

Well, it seems like there weren't many of us here before three weeks ago, if any. Do you know how accurate that is? Whether there were others before then, I mean?

[Not that he approves of anti-Foreigner sentiment, but an upswing in new arrivals triggering it would make a kind of sense. The accidental pun draws a small smile.] I'll take that under advisement. Thank you, really. I will be careful.

[The implied 'but I won't stay put' should be obvious.]

No clue. [Ororo leans back in her chair and crosses her arms.] I came in a day before things went to hell and have been hanging on for the ride.

You'd do better talking with this one professor that hangs out at his console. He likes talking and has probably written a paper about it or something.
