Knowhere IC

Why, this is like fighting dragonspawn! [she sounds weirdly delighted by this] If only the rest of Destiny's Edge were here.

Guys, I don't mean to be pushy ... [The sounds of Clint fighting are familiar by now. There's the snap of a bowstring and the telltale whistle of air.]

... but it's really a mess down here ... [Something explodes in the distance. Clint's already loosed two more arrows in rapid succession]

... and people are getting tired. Any word on a second ... [A clash of metal, followed by a shout and a painful-sounding thud.] ... wave? We're going to have to start sending people back before they collapse.

I've adopted a horse of sorts. It's not like anything we have at home, exactly, but it's not entirely dissimilar either.

Does anyone recognize what she is? I don't know what to call her, but she'll need a name. I believe she was left behind by someone who disappeared a few days ago. It took me a couple of days to put together a stable for her, but she's all settled in now.

Oh. I've been working on a drawing of some creatures I saw during the battle. I'm not sure what they are and I haven't seen them since? I just want to know they are okay.

I thought you'd want to know Cleo is doing well. How is your recovery coming along?

[Tina & Queenie]
Would you like to meet them? I thought it might be appropriate to start teaching you about the different creatures and their needs. If I disappear it is possible the suitcase would be left behind.

Oh. Well. This is different -- Very different --Big head. In space -- Floaty -- Good air -- Smells funny -- seems like maybe there was some trouble recently? -- OH and the the dog -- it's a dog right? -- yes -- Brilliant dog -- Very friendly -- I do like a good friendly do I think -- first time you see -- and this tablet? Very handy.

aaaand I've forgotten my manners. Hello. I'm Jenny.

[Open Comms]

[Amid blaster shots]
There are ground forces on Knowhere. A group is trying to get into the Guardians' Base.

[ Open Comms ]

Finally this place is starting to feel a little more normal.

[ Direct Comms: Torunn ]

So. Hulk and Asgardian land in a floating space head and your friend says...

How're you doing?

This joke is terrible. Blame it on the Star Spangled Idiot. The big one.

[ Direct Comms: Clint Barton(s) and Bobbi ]

So. This bow is awesome. Also, there's a Hulk. Also. These aliens are fucking persistent and really dumb.

So. Learning to pilot a ship via thought. Guess that's something I can add to the resume, hard to complain about trans-dimensional travel when that happens.

[ Cosmo ]

So. Being fair, this ship is huge. I've consulted with Barnes about it and, given the fact that it has greenhouses and could help with food production and provide safety for a great number of people if they need it, we were thinking it would be better to turn the ship over to you and Knowhere in general. I'd be happy to give piloting lessons -- it's not that hard once you get the hang of it -- but, given the nature of how the ship is piloted, I was wondering if you had a potential list of candidates I could tap? Those with strong mental aptitude and focus, like yourself I would imagine, should be close to top of the list. If you think this might be of interest to you, let me know.

And how awesome is it I'm talking about turning the first dog into space into a pilot. Or talking to the first dog in space?

[ Jyn & Ryder ]

How would you feel about a tour and maybe a short joyride out in space before I turn this thing over to our canine-in-chief?

[ Barnes ]

I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate you letting me put my hands on that thing.

I don't even care how many bad jokes and one-liners that opens me up to.

*bursts of static and electricity crackling, followed by bouts of incomprehensible screaming, and the sounds of banging and crashing*

Don't be concerned if you see Frank roaming around the head. He's docile. I spoke to Cosmo about sending him back to Arizona where he belongs, but seeing as how this Earth is a bit different than the one I come from, I'm not sure how safe it will be for him there. Though I am not sure how safe it is for him here either. For now, he'll stay with me for the most part, but I'd like to let him stretch out his wings on occasion.

[Private to Alucard]

Are you missing a portrait, by chance?

A giant head in space is bloody brilliant, but let's just get a few things clear.

I am not sleeping on some bed in a bloody barracks.

I'm not going to be a temp. If I take a position, it'll be permanent.

If anyone sees a blue box that reads "Telephone Box" at the top, let me know immediately.

And lastly - has anyone seen a skinny spaceman running around in a suit with very large teeth and shaggy hair?

Looks like I've also received something not belonging to me. Does this sort of things happen a lot around here? Anyway, it looks like it's armor of some kind, definitely for a woman.

Hello. My name is Firstborn Caithe of the Pale Tree. From what I gather no other sylvari have come this far from the Grove before, so if you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. I'm looking forward to learning all about this place.

Why would you even separate me from McDonald's? I was at camp all year and I can only eat that many marshmallows and my personal chauffeur drives too fast for me to eat my fries in peace and I just placed the order and my boyfriend is not even here. I think I deserved to eat some McDonald's fries in peace, because college is happening. Was happening. And I was surrounded by burly men in cowboy boots and hats and guitars.

And I haven't even heard a prophecy about this space head but are you sure it's not a Titan because I do think that some of them can get this big if they decompose. Still prefer their asses to be in Tartarus, but hey. Space. Do I need a space suit? Will this be like Alien or is it like Firefly or the Mythomagic in space expansion? DO YOU HAVE WONDER WOMAN BECAUSE DEMIGODS NEED TO STICK TOGETHER.

What needs fighting? Seriously.
