Sooo...Meet-y

[cityship]

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.

"Refugees?" She looked about her then, to the other people in the vast room, All of them? Refugees? That couldn't be.

"I doubt 'Stacy' would rescue just me from all of Corus." Never mind the actual country, or planet. The city itself was just fine. "There ought ot be others. The King, his Queen... Tunstall, Goodwin." At the very least her partners.

"You're mistaken."

< You do not know how much I wish it was a mistake. If it is a mistake, that means we are being lied to by those who have taken us and the multi-dimensional thing is something we know for a fact just amongst ourselves. > Elfangor said, his word sincere.

< But that does not mean you are the only one from Corus. While Stacy could not save everyone, she did always try to save those who made strong stories from their universes as well as anyone who was close to them so they at least had some support when this was revealed. If you do not believe yourself important enough to the universe, then at least you were important enough to someone who was. >

The next question was simple, very, very simple.

"What does this mean to us?"

< It means that while our homes may be destroyed, then at least something remains, > Elfangor said. < Those of note, the best of their universe. That is, if the best scenario really is not possible. >

< We know who did it. At least if the information is correct. And the people who programmed Stacy believe that if we defeat these people, there is a chance to restore our universes. Even if that's not possible, the enemy still has to be beaten because they would just destroy more universes. >

"My home, my 'universe', is it one of those who were destroyed? was yours?"

[escapednothlit.livejournal.com]

< Everyone who came out of those pods has had their universe destroyed and everyone here was pod popped just like you. > Elfangor answered. Yes, hers was destroyed. As was his. And everyone else's.

Internally, her stomach dropped, but her face did not change.

So. All of home was gone... Pounce, and Dale and Goodwin and...

everyone.

"I'm sorry for your loss."

[escapednothlit.livejournal.com]

Elfangor studied her for a few moments. < And I am sorry for your loss. And on this ship, the rank is only for there to be some order among the crew. I am nothing like a 'nobleman' or anything of the like. I am your equal, so you do not have to worry about 'pleasing' me. >

It was either she didn't want to do anything that might make her seem to be stepping out of line or she was repressing her emotions. She had been acting more like the first before then, however, so he took a guess.

Later she would process them, and handle them. Later, she would find pigeons to feed, and prayers to send. Now though, it wasn't time for that. It couldn't be.

"Thank you." She paused, looking up actually in in eyes, "What do we do now?"

[escapednothlit.livejournal.com]

< Right now, you try to process everything. Ask what questions you need to help you find your way around. And get your omnicom. If you see a young man with green skin and three circles on his forehead, he'll be able to give you one or direct you to one. It's a device used for communication. > Elfangor explained.
