[ This post comes in later in the evening. It's not focused on Jack, however, it's focused up. On the very large ship hovering above the City. Which would probably be a normal, City-level of chaos, but there's a bright, yellow smiley-face on the side. After a moment, Jack speaks from off-camera. ]

Well, I think I should tell people not to panic about this. That's definitely not an invading ship by any means, so if anyone thinks it's a good idea to shoot first? Don't.

I don't want to have to discourage the Midnighter from violence if he's going to get angry.

So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go round up the troops, and see if we can get this out of low-hanging orbit.

[ Muttered, off camera: ] Let's see, door?

[ This time, the video's backdrop is more metal than the background of the City. ]

Apparently! I don't know any other ship like this one.

That is pretty awesome.

[ beat. ]

Did it just appear out of thin air, or what?

Where the hell did it come from?

[megalopolitan]

Nowhere, I assume.

[hellionated]

That's impossible. Someone put it there.

You couldn't discourage me from violence if you tried.

[ AFTER BEING GREETED BY JENNY ]

You're just excited you don't have to walk anywhere, aren't you?

[bringerofwar]

You shut your City-jumping ass up.

[SOB THAT'S A YES
A SO MUCH YES]

ACTION!

[ and as soon as jack appears on the carrier, there's a little eight-year-old girl rushing over to him excitedly, tugging at his arm. ]

I did it, I did it! See, I told you I could do it, Jack.

ACTION!

[megalopolitan]

[ He chuckles good-naturedly ]

I can see that! Good job, Jenny. This isn't going to disappear one day, is it?

[centurybaby]

I hope not. I mean, I don't think so.

[ she does a little absently twirl on her heel, still getting used to the surroundings. it's been so long since she'd been on the carrier, she'd worried that she wouldn't make it right from memory. ]

I tried to make it with all the right stuff. [ a half-beat. ] Does it feel right?

[incendere]

(What.)

[megalopolitan]

[ Didn't you know, Roy? The City has people who can make Space Ships out of thin air ]

[incendere]

(UM NO?? No one gave me that memo upon my arrival!)

That's quite a contraption.

[piranhas]

Ugh, this is such a fucking let-down! Why do you humans even need spaceships?!

[megalopolitan]

Well, for one thing, we don't have to pay rent on a space ship.

[piranhas]

And? Shouldn't you all be all... um, all "weeh, we have to preserve Earth's neighboring space, weeh?"

[centurybaby]

You can come see it if you want.

[hacktivist]

I would strongly suggest you release a statement natively along similar lines.

Relations are very strained.

[ A thoughtful note. ] I'll forward something when we hit orbit.

[Joel stares a moment.]

Please hurry up and get whatever that is away from where it is.

[They're already getting calls about it down at the station.]

Where did that even come from?

[megalopolitan]

Hey, we're moving as fast as we can. Don't worry about it.

I think that seat's reserved for Jenny.
