[Video]

[He didn't think that breaking time was in the penal code, but then considering what the Dominator's had come to earth for he's not exactly surprised to find himself here. The more pressing question was the absence of the rest of the legends. If he was going to make contact with the other inmates, he might as well get that out of the way.]

Hello, people of Marina. I hope this finds you well, assuming this is a recording and not a live communication channel. I guess I'll find out in a second or two if anyone is watching.

[He's defaulting to a slightly more professional way of composing his speech, trying to be as clear as possible as he would in any board meaning or in front of his students back in the 50s. Just going for efficiency. Plus it helps mask his panic.]

I'm Ray. Ray Palmer. And I'm looking for my friends. Sara, Nate, Mick, Amaya, Martin and Jackson. Has anyone seen them? Heard those names? I mean of course I am leaving out specific details such as appearance, surnames, distinguishing characteristics, I'm assuming if they're here they'd receive this message and find me.

Otherwise I think I'm going to need more information about this place. Hopefully I can assist with an escape plan? There's one of those, right?

[His lips turn up into a genuine smile, but it fades almost immediately, seeming crestfallen. He turns the feed off with that.]

____________________________________

[Action]

Ray stays in Sector one for a while, processing everything that had happened. He'd been here almost immediately after he and the Legends crash landed in L.A. due to a time storm. Sure enough that was listed as one of his crimes. Others remarked on his using underhanded tactics to acquire Queen Consolidated, and his being regarded as a criminal by the Time Masters. Even the time he nearly blew up the chem lab in his undergrad, it was all stacked against him as supposed crimes. Alien law, he supposed, was maybe a little less nuanced than even the flawed justice system of western society. At east there you were innocent until proven guilty.

Here he didn't even get a trial.

He moved on to sector two, finding a clothing store and opting to change before continuing on to explore the city.

[This is why you didn't get the girl Ray. You have no staying power.

She sticks her tongue out at him.]

Tom Baker actually. I mean I started with Sylvester Mccoy, but Baker was way more fun. Plus Mccoy's companions were kinda lame. Besides, there's nothing wrong with Smith, it's Eccleston's season that stinks.

[There's a pause as she stares at him slightly horror stricken.]

Wait, are you an Eccleston fan?

	[He needs to want the girl more than wonder lust. He smiles at her.] Eccleston was perfectly acceptable for a relaunch of the franchise, but it's not difficult to see how it only lasted one season. I'm still getting used to Capaldi. But I'd probably say Tom Baker, David Tennant and believe it or not I have a soft spot for the TV movie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[That hurts your virtual fiance Ray, hurts her almost as much as when you left the simulation on her.

Besides, how can you not want this girl more then wanderlust. She's amazing. Just ask her.]

He was acceptable for a poor reboot, and the TV movie would have worked if they hadn't put Mccoy in it. Even he admits that.

And if you like Baker how can you not like Smith? He's Baker only tiny and adorable and with a fez. Also, Capaldi? You mean the guy that was in the Pompeii episode?

[By your internal fourth wall breaky commentary it's almost like you want this romance to happen as much as a cheese Hallmark movie does.]

I do like Smith. Who doesn't? It's that you want to be the Doctor and me River Song? They were married at one point. [He chuckles.]

I was surprised you didn't see that season since Peter Capaldi started in the last series and you'd have been caught up by then. Are you still in the first Matt Smith series?

And yes. He's doing a good job. Has a magician aesthetic. It's pretty great.

[Now now, don't make inferences your muse can't handle.

Literally all she gets out of that is that River and The Doctor are married. She'd suspected, after all, they didn't really make it hard to figure out, but she hasn't gotten to 'The Wedding of River Song' yet. She's been a little busy to catch up fully.]

They are? I mean, I kinda thought they were with all the flirting and the name thing and stuff, but really?

[She looks so giddy about the idea.]

Best woman for him since Romana.

	Pretty really. I'm pretty sure River learned it during the wedding episode but it's sort of unclear. But obviously she knew all about it n the tail end of Tennant's run. [So much geeking out.] Hm. Good call. Both are fun characters (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's about to respond before he notices that she has a long line of ice cream dripping down her knuckles, and part the ice cream is sliding.] Felicity, you're dripping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-25 05:58 am UTC (link)
	Oh god! [She starts to lick the ice cream on her knuckles and around the cone.] So, more about time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His attention lingers on that for a moment, his thoughts going back to the virtual reality that he was subjected to. This would be their every day.] Time? Oh. Right. Time. Sure. What do you want to know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-25 06:08 am UTC (link)
	[She continues to lick her ice cream, oblivious to anything it's doing to Ray.] Where all have you been? What did you do besides get knighted and fight a T-Rex and hunt down the Lance of Longinus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-25 06:16 am UTC (link)
	Good questions. [He's just gonna try to distract himself with cookie. Yeah he's just thinking about other things.] I met Albert Einstein trying to prevent the A-bomb from being used by the nazis thee years early. Also feudal Japan and 1920s Chicago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mmmm. Good ice cream. Aaaand she stops.] Ok, now you're just trying to make me jealous. [She would kill to meet Albert Einstein.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-25 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	You weren't jealous about my knighthood? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-26 12:36 am UTC (link)
	Ray, like they'd let me be a knight. [Sexism ruled more then kings back then. She assumes he forgot about that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-26 12:45 am UTC (link)
	I'll vouch for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-26 12:55 am UTC (link)
	[And here she thought that the fact she's a girl was pretty obvious. It's not like she wears bagging cloths or anything.] They didn't knight girls back then. I'm a girl, hence, no knighthood. Though, Felicity of Starling; pretty badass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-26 01:01 am UTC (link)
	You said Camelot didn't exist. But considering how I'm friends with the Queen now, and a knight, I think I can make it happen. Also, more like 'Lady Felicity of smoke" is even cooler. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-26 01:12 am UTC (link)
	I think you're putting way too much pressure on your poor knighthood. Also, my name sounds so much better then Raymond of the Palms. [She body checks his shoulder lightly.] But I'll let it slide if you get me knighted. Dig would be seriously jealous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-26 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Y'think Digg is actually jealous of stuff? Like Barry's Speed or Kara's--- Uh. Well. There's this girl I know in the future and she's pretty super. That's about all I can say on that. But yeah, if I should ever get the chance to bring you on a time travel adventure then I'll make it happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She lets out a puff if air of a laugh.]

Clearly you've never seen him around Barry. So, so jealous.

[And of course she picks up on the wording and the girl's name.]

So, Kara ... Girlfriend?

[Sounds like it if you're calling her super and all. Yes Ray, you have officially gained friend status enough for her to make cracks about your love life. In her defense, it doesn't take long.]

	pocket_sized 2017-04-26 04:34 am UTC (link)
	I have not. Well there was this thing we all did together recently and I think he made a funny remark about not getting used to all of this. And nope. Kara's an alien from anther Earth. Supergirl. Flies and shoots lasers from her eyes. It's neat. I am really really bad at this whole not telling you things thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She pats him on the meaty part of his shoulder.]

Yup. You should totally just give up and tell me everything. I'll get it out of you eventually. [And back to licking that ice cream cone she goes. It's so good.]

So no super alien girlfriend. I'd suggest Sarah, but you're totally not her type.

[She'll refrain from mentioning that he's actually kinda her type. Nerdy and can keep up with her. Actually it's kinda like being around a more square Barry.]

You're trying to be my wingman now, huh? [She's hinted at that before. 'Mrs Palmer is out there somewhere.']

Nope. But I did date a Hawkwoman. Hawk Girl? She had wings. [His shoulders fall slightly.]

I'll be honest, my love life has not been a particularly optimistic thing. But it may be one of the many reasons why being here is a good thing. [Overall lets not talk about it.]

	[She's going to leave the Hawk Girl comment go since it really looks like another Anna type topic.] I'm sure you'll find her. I mean you've got all of time and space to look for her in.
