[The image displayed is of nothing human. It is, in fact, nothing more than a panda in a pair of darned pants standing straight up as if he knows no other way to stand. He’s obviously in the new “home” he’s been given, and if it’s possible for him to seem even more out of place, he somehow manages it. It’s similar but it’s not, and he’s never seen anything like the kedan before.

He’s entirely out of his element, and if it was ever doubted that a panda could display that much with expression, he’s living, standing, awkward proof that a panda can do just that.

Uh. [Brief, something that was almost a word but never quite made it. He has no idea about these devices except for what he’s been told, and he still finds it difficult to believe. Others can see him, he can see them, and they can speak that way. How is that possible?] So. Hi. This showing a picture, right? A…a moving one, I guess. I don’t really understand, but that’s what those guys told me, so it probably does, right?

[He’s blathering. This is hardly anything new with him, and he realizes it, and that also shows. He runs a paw over his face, ears popping right back into place when it passes over them.]

Yeah, so, the introduction thing, I guess. I’m, uh, [awkward] Po [still awkward] and I’m from a place called the Valley of Peace, and [little less awkward] I never really thought that when you ascended, it was to another city. Thought of it more like another plane. But that’s okay, because you can’t ascend anything when you’re asleep, but you can apparently get trapped, and that’s pretty, uh. That really sucks. Like. It sucks a lot.

[He’s still obviously out of his element, but he stands up a little straight and stops fidgeting.]

Is there anything that whoever else here can tell me that doesn’t suck?

[Things that suck less are also wanted, and it’s after a close-up of a bear paw that the image disconnects.]

[Congratulations, foreigners, you're being treated to a screenful of anxious dragon snout. Iskierka looks rather paler than she did upon her arrival, and slightly tired. Once she is satisfied that this strange device is working, she settles back into her usual pile of loops and curls, ducking to avoid the ceiling.]

I do not know how much Temeraire has told you all of our world, but in the aerial corps, a dragon must have a crew. They are quite useful in a battle, they ride upon our backs and send signals and orders and that sort of thing, and stop us from being boarded. My captain is missing, but I should still like a crew, especially if we are to go about fighting creatures no-one knows anything about.

Pray let me know if you would like to be on it, in that case. I should prefer people with experience fighting, of course, and a physician if I might have one. I do not have my harness with me, but I can fit perhaps six people upon my back, if they have no objection to spikes and steam. I am called Iskierka, you may enquire with me if you wish to do so.

[Johnny's sitting awkwardly in front of the console in his suite.]

Why is no one freaking out about this? From the sounds of it, all of our powers are gone. Just like that. [He snaps. No flame appears. He throws his hands up in frustration.]

Seriously. There should be alarms going off. People should be taking blood samples and looking at ours cells. Someone should be creating some sort of system to track different.. I don't know.. thermal.. geo.. radio... something. Is it a sun spot? Aliens? We have no idea, because we're all sitting around trying.

Something's coming. Great. That might be the cause, but if it's not? We should probably figure this whole no-powers thing out before it gets here.

[He looks down at his hand and shakes it, as one might shake a Nintendo controller when the game glitches. He stops shaking it. Nothing happens.]

Oh COME ON!

 [Carol is seated calmly in front of the console in her suite, long hair braided and pulled over her shoulder, dressed casually in a t-shirt, her chin resting in her hand]

So no powers. Kinda sucks, I guess, but what're you gonna do? At least there's not a dinosaur chasing me this time. [She shrugs, casually, as if she's not at all bothered by the loss of her powers. She is bothered, of course, but she has other skills to defend herself with. Military and martial arts training can't be taken away from you like superpowers can be]

Anyway, the real point of this is that I'm curious. How many of our previously powered population [Alliteration!] actually know how to fight without their powers? Because apparently we're here to fight something and we have no idea how long this no powers thing is gonna last. Just, you know, for reference. And if you don't know how to fight powerless, would you be willing to learn? Actually, how many of our always unpowered population know how to fight? That's probably important. [She just kind of assumes a lot of people without powers would know how to defend themselves. That's how it works in her experience] I know someone else offered to teach and I probably could too.

Just a thought.

[ Sharon takes a breath as she studies the feed before speaking. ] My name is Sharon Carter. SHIELD Agent 13.

They've explained to me that it's pointless to try and return home. [ Her brow furrows at that. Time may have stopped back home, but that doesn't mean anything to her. She hasn't stopped working since she brought Steve back from the dead. To think that she might now be cooling her jets as a part of some in-between near-death experience... Damn train. It must have blown up or something. But she should bitch about it to herself later. Back to the matter at hand. ]

I suppose I might as well get to know some of you, seeing as I don't know how long I'll be here.

Not every day I ride a giant turtle in the sunset.

[ She sighs and runs a hand through her hair. Her tone turns wry. ]

And I thought today was going to be weird.
