Newbie Meet n' Greet

[cityship]

For the newbies, there are people waiting for them in the Obs Deck. A whole gaggle of people. Behind them is the nasty statue, and the beautiful sight through the windows of the stars streaming past and the swirling vortex of collars that was interdimensional travel.

There are more questions than answers, but the crew is willing to help, especially the Command Staff and greeters.

"Yeah, it's pretty awful. But maybe down the road we'll find a place with cooking supplies." Chris looked at her with some confusion as he nodded. "So a friend of a friend, then?"

He considered her next words carefully. While he didn't want everyone on the ship to know, he figured Selene was trustworthy enough to know. "Yeah but where I come from superheroes are pretty rare. Mostly in Grand Mercy Heights."

"Hopefully. I eat enough sub par food at the bar," Selene said. She shrugged casually. She knew enough in advance to lie about the Luminaries after she got over the initial panic of letting something slip. "Yeah. He's some dimensional wizard guy. Met him once when he was getting Helene. Looked like he was a million miles away and wore a brick around his neck."

Selene raised an eyebrow, but after the earlier conversation with Kira, she had accepted it was another dimension thing. "Really? It's pretty common back home. We got the Justice League, X-men, the Titans, the Avengers. The Luminaries are a team local to my city. They're the group Helen and E are in."

While Chris somewhat knew about the other dimensions thing, this is the first he'd find someone he could discuss it with. "I don't suppose you ever heard of Kamen Riders have you?" Other dimensions or not, this was interesting. He'd raised an eyebrow and the mention of the teams mentioned but didn't comment.

Selene paused, tapping her chin as she thought. "Kamen Riders....Kamen Riders..." She muttered. "No, I don't think so," she finally said.

"Well to be honest that's a bit of a relief. I'd feel a bit weird if I was well known somewhere." Chris replied, a slightly uneasy tone in his voice.

"From what I know about them, Kamen Riders are the defenders of a place called Ventara: a mirror world of Earth. Someone by the name of General Xaviax conquered Ventara by taking the Kamen Riders' Advent Decks which is the source of their powers."

Now, give her a moment, there's something weird in that statement. Selene frowned as she mulled over what he said.

"And if you're well known when it involves Kamen Riders, you're either one yourself, somehow got roped into getting the power source, or heavily involved another way, right?" Selene asked, looking at him questioningly. Why else would he be well known with Kamen Riders.
