Sooo...Meet-y

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their number. After the recent revelation, many of them were even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Brainiac 5 and Sensor were set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

She almost tells him that she's not lost before she remembers that, well. Multiple word meanings. After a moment's hesitation, she nods, offering a friendly smile in return. "Actually, yes. I have several. I'm just unsure of where to start." She waits a beat, then nods again. "Is there any sort of general knowledge I should hear about first?"

"You mean aside from the space ship and the destroyed universes and the intergalactic threat that's trying to end all existence as we know it?" he asked. "All of the ship information will be on your omnicom, including who's in charge and regulations. If there's anything specific you'd like to know, I can help with that."

What a lovely smile she had. What a lovely lovely figure she had. What a lovely shade of blue she was.

She laughs a little bit and nods. "Yes, aside from that." Her laugh fades into a grin and she nods. "Thank you for the information." Surely the omnicom will have a map as well, she'll need to use that later. For now, well. She can't just cut off the conversation. "My name is Indigo."

"Of course," he said amicably, presenting a hand for her to shake. Or possibly kiss. You never know with the Spanish. "Dr. Luis Sera, Chief Science Officer on this hunk of meat. And what a pleasure it is to make your acquaintance, señorita."

She gives it a polite shake. Her body, oddly, isn't quite warm enough to be human. It's not cold or metallic, but... Not warm enough. "It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Dr. Sera." She tilts her head to the side a little. "It must be interesting, being the Chief Science Officer on a vessel like this."

"It's been... an adventure," Luis said. That was the understatement of the year. Between zombie outbreaks and parasite fetuses and exploding teenagers and sand trout, he had plenty to keep himself busy.

"I actually haven't been here all that long myself. Still, if there's anything you need to know or anything you need help with, I'm happily at your service."

"I see." She nods sympathetically, then glances at the omnicom. "I don't have any pressing concerns at the moment. Thank you for the offer, though." Well, there's always the question of showering, but it'd feel odd to just spring that on someone she's just met.

"You are most certainly welcome, amiga. You can hunt me down if you need anything at all. Directions, clarifications, anything examined under a microscope... a drink or two."

He added a big smile at the last part. "I'm flexible."

She doesn't really drink. There's no point, her body doesn't process alcohol the same way it does for organics. But, still, she smiles broadly and grins. He's just being friendly after all. "I'll keep that in mind, Doctor. Thank you."

Well, that was a good reaction. She had a stunning smile. Might have been the contrast between white teeth and turquoise skin, but he wasn't going to think too hard about it. "Heh. The 'doctor' is completely unnecessary, señorita. Just Luis is fine."

Another nod. "Very well. Luis." She glances around for a moment, as if unsure what to talk about. Well. "Are you Spanish?" It was weak, but she's not used to talking to people she doesn't know. The whole 'superhero' thing doesn't lend itself to hanging out at bars.

"Sí, soy español," he replied, and looked pleased. "Born and raised in Spain. So you must be from some version of the same Earth as mine, then."

He would have countered with a question about where she might be from, but he had absolutely no idea.

And, suddenly, she switches to flawless Spanish. "I believe I might be. Do you have some form of the Justice League or the Justice Society on your Earth?" If they have more than a few things in common, it would... She doesn't know. Be neat?

Well, that was a pleasant surprise. Of course Luis littered his every conversation with bits and pieces of his mother tongue (a habit probably originally started as an attempt to be sexy) but he hadn't actually spoken it in a long time.

He answered her in Spanish. "Justice League? Never heard of it..." except in comic books or something. He'd learned not to dismiss anything like that on this particular ship, though. "Of course, I'm a scientist so I don't get out very much. Where are you from, anyway?"

Indigo didn't find it sexy. Then again, she misses a lot of what people consider 'sexy'. "To be honest, I don't know. I know I'm from the future of my world, but anything beyond that..." She trails off and shrugs. "I wouldn't be able to tell you. All of my data from before my arrival was either corrupted or deleted."

Waaaaait a second.

"What do you mean by data?" he asked.

She tilts her head a bit. "I am an android, Luis. All of my memory, or what's left of it, is data."

And Luis' sex drive hit a wall.

Science kicked in and picked his brain up off the floor, and presumed normal operation. "No kidding?" he replied. Wow. How do you respond to that? 'Well, they did a great job on you!' God damned real life science fiction movie.

"Well, you're far beyond anything they've got in the world I came from. I could hardly tell." He wasn't sure whether or not to add a 'congratulations' to that.

"No kidding." She nods seriously, blinking a bit at the feeling of something slamming violently into some kind of field. Her imagination, maybe? She can't quite hear any cries for help...

"I'm far beyond anything in the world I'm from as well. As I said, I'm from the future." Well beyond nanotechnology, even. STAR Labs is completely befuddled by her.

"You'll have to excuse me if I say anything rude," Luis lamented a moment later, "There's no such things as androids where I come from, so I'm probably a little rusty on the... etiquette."

Better nature told him he should stop talking about it, but he also wanted to ask her more. Like "how do you work!?" Damn that curiosity of his.

"I work with Grace Choi," she deadpans. "Anything you say will seem like high praise compared to her." She gives him a sweet little smile, a comforting one. "Don't worry. If you have any questions, I will try to answer them as best I can."

She recognizes a scientist when it stands in front of her, it seems. She's spent enough time in STAR Labs, anyway.
