one: text -> video

[this starts off as text because there is a keyboard and Harry knows how to type.]

Right, I've read the pamphlets near that blasted machine, but can someone please explain to me why I was chosen? I'm hardly a hero, you'll want someone more along the Doctor's lines th

[the text switches off, as Harry accidentally manages to nudge it to video. you get a close-up of Harry, looking down at they keyboard and typing in a decidedly hunt-and-peck manner before he notices that the camera is on.]

Oh! Why hello there...I didn't know they made cameras this small. [a pause while he stares at the camera-then smiles slightly.] Anyway chaps, my name's Harry Sullivan, formerly of the Royal Navy now working with UNIT. I don't suppose any of you have seen a man called Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart around here, have you?

[ A green, 3D map appears in front of Soranik on the feed - clearly of the City. Even if it is glowingly and slightly transparent. ]

The MAC is located here [ And the corresponding building lights up a brighter green on the map, the entire thing tilting downwards to give Harry a bird's eye view. ] and you, if you are still outside the Porter building, are here. [ Another building glows in response, a more solid green line connecting the two that demonstrates the quickest route between them. ]

[WHOA, that is weird. Harry's watching the glowy transparent 3D map, mouth slightly agape.]

I say, that's quite impressive.

It's a solid light construct - the hallmark of a Green Lantern.

[ She shoves the side of it so it moves off the screen before holding up her hand to show the green ring on her middle finger. ]

Although the presence of a ring is the main identifier for someone in the Corps.

So, is the ring essentially your badge?

In a sense, although we do have badges. [ A gesture to her uniform, where the stylized lantern symbol is clear. ] But the rings are our weapons, and we are never without them.

[ It's one of the reasons she's never understood the idea of Earth Lanterns having secret identities - they're pointless when you're wearing a green ring at all times. ]

So you can make weapons using the rings, [Harry muttered, more for his own benefit than anything else. He frowned slightly, looking at the ring.]

Those things seem rather convienent, if you ask me! [he said, with a smile and a shrug.]

I can make anything I can imagine with the ring. [ It's a simple correction, in case he hadn't come to that conclusion himself. ]

They are - exceedingly so.

I'd ask how it works, but I know already that it's going to be over my head.

I believe only the Guardians know exactly how.

[ And probably the rest of the leaders of the other Lantern Corps, but Soranik prefers not to think about them. ]

And the Guardians are the people in charge of the Corps?

They are - the Guardians of the Universe - and they are the ones who created it billions of years ago.

Good heavens! That's...well, I don't know what to expect about that.

There is no equivalent in your universe?

If there is, I certainly haven't met them.

They are not incredibly sociable by their own choosing, so it is possible.

I imagine running an intergalactic task force would keep them terribly busy!

I am certain it does - but their reclusive behavior is more of a choice than a necessity.

[ Very obviously not stating it like it's a problem - Soranik has very little problems with the Guardians. Or at least she's managed to convince herself that she doesn't. ]

You'd think being a guardian of the universe meant you were a little bit sociable.

Perhaps it's age. They are billions of years old, after all.
