[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.

	[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)

	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)

	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.]

	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.]

	justanitgirl 2017-04-26 05:12 am UTC (link)
	[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. [Not like us mere one timeline people who have nothing but a broody friendzone to live in forever.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He does seem to have alot on his mind. He's just gonna smile.] And other realities at this point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-26 05:30 am UTC (link)
	True. Maybe Supergirl has a friend. [It's an option. Some cute other supergirl for Ray.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-26 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Whoa, way put of my league believe it or not. I wouldn't be able to keep up with her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-26 06:08 am UTC (link)
	Right, so no Sarah, no Supergirl. Maybe you'll find her here and give up trying to get home. [It's possible. Maybe he'd find the perfectly pixilated girl of his dreams and then she'd be on her own trying to get back to Starling City.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-26 06:15 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. I always thought online dating was gonna happen eventually. Hmm. Think thats too glib? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-26 06:26 am UTC (link)
	[She almost snorts from trying not to laugh.] Wouldn't it be virtual dating though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Doesn't have the same ring to it, or cultural relevance to either of us since VR is in its infancy back home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-26 06:38 am UTC (link)
	I'm obsessed with science fiction. Virtual reality is always culturally relevant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-26 06:46 am UTC (link)
	True, but Sonce when has VR been done wel outside of the Matrix? There was that awkward Stallone movie which I can't remember the title of. Where all intimacy was done by weird virtual mind melds? Or does that not count? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-26 06:53 am UTC (link)
	Red Dwarf had a few episodes with perfect VR. Farscape too if I'm remembering right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-26 07:01 am UTC (link)
	Forgot about those. I think i need to brush up on my classics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
