_{( A few hours after arriving, and after meeting up with Jim and figuring out some basics, because he's not about to make a public post that makes a fool of him in front of a bunch of people, Bones picks up the comm and says, rough southern accent and all-- )}

Alright. There's obviously no point asking about how to hail a ship that's in orbit two hundred years in the future.

_{( A great start, by Dr. Leonard McCoy. He sounds all business, and you can almost hear him rolling up his sleeves. )}

If this is a city of heroes, I'm willing to bet it's also a city of danger. _{( He says that derisively. )} If you were going to rate this place based on how easy it was to get sick, injured--how would it compare to your home ti--that is, world? Are buildings getting knocked down, people getting crazy interdimensional diseases?

I like to know what I'm working with.

they're children. they only appreciate touching things and pooping.

anyways, let's get to the nitty gritty. anything I can help you with?

_{( The pause is brief and the laugh is ironic. )}

Usually it's the other way 'round, when that question comes up.

can't always be the doctor.

Actually, the MD isn't conditional after you go through the half-decade of hell for it.

_{( He pauses, then says-- )} That obvious, huh?

i

uh

[ backpedal!!! ]

lucky guess

Yeah?

_{( He's charitable enough to sound amused. )}

Good guess.

yep.

seriously though. if you need help, I may or may not be able to give you some, depending.

Depending on what, exactly? If there's gonna be a catch you might as well tell me now.

what it is you want? I mean, if you want a way out, there's not much I can do there.

I figured as much. Didn't think dozens of people would be chatting about the weather if there was a backdoor they might've taken.

_{( He grumbles that, though. He does not want to be stuck in some antiquated century, thank you very much. )}

How 'bout this, then-- what three things do you figure a guy who's only been here an hour needs to know?

1 a. there's no exit but you already got that which is why it's half a bullet point.

1 b. however, you can be sent home whenever and however by the whim of Lachesis, the sentient AI.

2. you get powers. don't know what kind or how they manifest, but you're technically a meta now. you might find out what they are in ten minutes or never so.

3. apparently it's a thing that people have been transporting to alternate universes within this one. I don't know much about that stuff, I haven't been around for it.
