[Well, hello there. There’s a friendly face smiling at the network, nervously pushing his glasses up. He doesn’t seem to have any kind of trouble with the computers, but it’s obvious by the way he’s looking speaking to crowds (and he seems to consider whoever might be looking a ‘crowd’) isn’t really his thing.

Or that’s what he wants to make you believe, anyway. Clark Kent had always been the go to personality in case of kidnapping. He isn’t stupid enough to show where is he exactly living, but you get to see enough of his room to guess he’s in the water sector if you care enough to notice that kind of things. Seeing how calm and easy going the guy seems it shouldn’t come as a surprise.]

Um, hello. [A little friendly wave and a tilt of his head.] I’m not really sure if we’re supposed to-ah, introduce ourselves? I was told everything would be alright and everybody I’ve seen has been rather welcoming so far so I though… [He trails off, shrugging.] Call it farm-boy routine I guess.

Anyway, I’m Clark. Clark Kent. It’s a pleasure.

[Well, that's... cute, for lack of a better word. Clark already likes this individual.]

I will do so, Captain. It's a pleasure to meet somebody that helpful from the start- have you been here for long?

[A crooked smile.] About a week. People seem to have gotten pulled out of the water every seven days or so for the past three weeks.

[Every seven days, that's new information. Clark nods, humming under his breath.]

So no one has been here for long apart from the natives?

No, sir. [Not an officer, still older than Steve himself, so sir it is.] Has anyone given you a rundown of what happened during the welcome festival they threw? I wasn't present, but I know the generalities.

[He's almost 40 but the 'sir' still makes him unnecessarily old... ] Clark is fine, Captain.

I know some of us foreigners were kidnapped? That's all I have been told though.

Of course, Mr. Kent. [Respect is a thing Clark, he can't help it. And he's gotten even more stubbornly traditional about it ever since he woke up seventy years past where pleasantries seem to be relevant.

He doesn't quite grimace.]

It seems that one of the gangs in the Fire Sector tried to execute some of the new arrivals as an example to the rest. The police stopped it and... [It's clear he doesn't like this any more than the gang's strategy.] Beheaded the responsible party in front of the crowd. There's been a great deal of unrest in the area since.

[Mr Kent. Okay, he can do with that- at least it isn't Mr Lane, like some guys jokingly called him at work. Not that he minded being known for being Lois Lane's wife, but when it was done with a mocking tone...]

I see. [He obviously looks concerned and worried about this new information, but he isn't sure what to do about it. He's been abroad enough that he knows if these are the rules in here there's little he can do about it.] It might be wise to lie low then, especially around that sector.

That would be the smartest thing to do.

[Yeah, notice how he avoided saying what he was doing himself? Patrolling the Fire Sector has taken up most of the time he hasn't spent working.]

[Don't worry Steve, that's pretty much what Clark is planning on doing as soon as he talks to certain friends of his. What's staying safe?]

Anything else I should know? I'm beginning to think the place isn't as nice as it seemed when I got here.

Maybe not, but don't let what some of them have done poison you against the rest - the majority of the kedan are perfectly friendly, as much as anybody tends to be. It's just like anyplace that way.

I suppose that's true.

[But Clark knows well places can be as different as people, and he plans on finding out what kind of place this is. When he was left in the water sector he thought it would be similar to Metropolis and its tall buildings under the light... but he still has a lot to investigate around this place.]

Thanks for your help, Captain. Is there anything else about this place I should know?
