Meet-n-Greet

After being released from stasis, having the slime removed from their bodies and clothed in the creepy, pulsing leaf-suit that everyone wore, and being taken to the Weapons & Possessions lockers to collect their belongings, the new arrivals would find themselves standing in the Observation Deck. Round windows lined the fleshy walls, revealing the bright display of lights that was inter-dimensional travel. They would also discover that there were people--members of the command staff and crew that had woken earlier--waiting for them.

Collar? He hadn't really had TIME to look at Keller. He shifted his gaze down to the collar, brow furrowing. We're gonna 'ave t' grab one of the engineerin' blokes t' get 'at off. Okay, the kid was annoying, but he'd probably be less annoying with the collar off.

Maybe.

He glanced up, raising an eyebrow. Worse 'an mutant deathcamps? Ain't so sure I wanna know 'at. Dealing with Weapon X was going to be bad enough when he got home. If they got home.

"I'll spare you the details." What Weapon X, Jono? They don't exist anymore.

"I already spoke to one of the Engineering staff. Wind, or something her name was? Anyway, hopefully her and her nerd herd can figure out a way to get this damn thing off without it blowing up my skull."

And Julian would be just as annoying as without the collar, just for vastly different reasons, though.

Neither does Chamber when you're from, Julian. Not as such, at least.

Thanks. Jono reached up, rubbing his thumb across the bridge of his nose. Gotta admit, wasn' 'spectin' t' see one of you kids 'round 'ere. Hoped Stacy wouldn' be interested in you, I guess. It was bad enough they got dragged into the X-Men stuff by default. Getting dragged into this was a step beyond. You gotten the explanations yet?

"Hey, I needed to earn my 'fucked over an alternate universe' merit badge somehow." It was all part and parcel with being an X-man, really.

"Yeah, got kidnapped by giant psychic space spleen that expects us to work for it. Only no one knows where we're supposed to be going or what we're supposed to be doing. That's about it, right?"

Better 'an earnin' it the way we did. Seriously. Faeries and glamour machines and bloody phookas. Jono would love to be able to count Howard the Duck in there but he was firmly in the 'real world'.

He wavered a hand back and forth. Close 'nough. We know part of it 'as t' do with some race called the Ohm. Apparently serious threat, but Stacy ain't tol' us jus' why or what we're 'sposed t' do 'gainst 'em. Or much of anythin' 'bout 'em. Roight now, we're workin' on gettin' t' the bridge, which is 'parently held by bad guys. Who ain't the Ohm, but Stacy can't tell us nothin' much 'bout THEM neither. So we're mos'ly flyin' blind.

That wasn't unusual with being an X-Man, either.

"Oh, great. So we get to put our lives on the line against people who we think are evil. Though, really they could be the good guys and Stacy is using us to get at them because they didn't friend her on Facebook, or something."

Jono shook his head. Seen some of what these Ohm can do. Okay, he saw it second-hand, but it counted. Doubt they think we're evil. Step up from 'ome, anyway.
