001 ♒ Video

[When the video starts, the man sitting at the console is still peering warily at some of the hardware. It doesn't seem quite as advanced as the systems he'd outfitted the Aquacave with, but he doesn't particularly trust much of anything here. He's blond, probably tall, and somewhat damp-looking, dressed in an... interesting... orange scaled shirt. His posture is also impeccable, almost royal.] It isn't every day I start things off by being fished out of the sea. [He's not pleased. Not pleased at all, which is obvious from his scathing tone.] The joke is much less humorous to my wife and me.

Obviously I've been... filled in... by the natives, but I'm not sure I trust the information given. Alternate dimensions are rarely so straight-forward. [He mumbles something under his breath and it probably isn't all that appropriate or kingly, but hey, alternate dimensions, just another Tuesday. Or whatever day it is.]

I'm Arthur Curry of Atlantis. Contact me if you're someone I'd actually like to speak to, you'll know who you are. In the mean time, to my 'neighbors'... don't mind the noise, we're doing a little rearranging.

[s t a r e.

ok Kyle stop staring.] You're... further in future from me. People get pulled here from alternate worlds, as well as different times.

[A sigh.] We're working on a way back.

[Oh like you don't know weird life can be back home Kyle.] Wonderful. How far?

[Working on it. Well that's better than nothing.] Who else exactly is here and how can I help?

Uh - a few months after I left the League for Oa. [A pause, he's thinking.] I think I'm the furthest behind.

[Beat.] They'll contact you, don't worry. [He's become more suspicious; his smile fades slightly.] And You Know Who has the plan - ask him.

I wish I were farther behind. [Still grieving for his third dead son and for his infant grandson, no big deal.]

I see. I'll do that. [You Know Who with a plan can only be one person. Suddenly secrecy makes sense.] Until they show their faces, I guess my wife and I settle in.

Sorry. [He genuinely is.] If you need anything, I'm in 1A, just a stone's throw away.

Likewise, Mera and I are here in 2B.

It's... good to see you again, Kyle.
