[ The ID on the Network appears as Power Girl.

As the audio begins, anyone with a good ear or paying close attention will notice there isn’t complete radio silence between the time the feed turns on and when a woman begins speaking. There’s a passing wind that lightly filters in through the speaker – and are those wings flapping in the distance? ]

Okay, I get it; Lachesis does not appreciate a hands on approach. Does she really call herself that? I guess she doesn’t get memos, but I thought I washed my hands of this alternate universe mess a while ago and I’m seriously not interested in being apart of it.

The City... that’s original. [ A light scoff. ] Should have stuck with New York.

If anyone from the JSA or the League is—oh. One second. [ The audio cuts for about five minutes before it’s switched back on and Peej sighs. ] That was a close call.

Sorry, as I was saying: All-stars or JSA, Leaguers, Titans, heck even Legionnaires ... this is Power Girl. I think I’ve gotten the gist of the situation, but if there’s anything else I need to be briefed on get in contact with me ASAP.

[ Not that her voice will betray how she really feels, but she really hopes she’s not stuck in another alternate universe by herself again. ]

Anything? [ She's good with computers, but this is one machine she can't even touch, let alone figure out. ]

If it's true what you're all saying about being stuck here... [ She can't help the skepticism in her voice, considering she's heard that so many times. ] But personally, I've never liked quitting.

[viced]

Neither have I. [ He sighs. ]

Still, it seems more like building some kind of life, while you wait out the inevitability. Most people go home, eventually.

[ She pauses. ]

How long is eventually?

[viced]

It depends. Some don't last a month, some wait years.

[ She officially hates the Porter. ]

There's no way to disrupt Lachesis, even temporarily?

private; video

[viced]

Not that any of us have been able to find. She's... well, she has plenty of ways of getting around that.

Nobody's found a way yet.

[acrossyourpath]

It depends on the world. Anything can happen. Usually does.

[retropolis]

Um, yes, here. I don't really have any other measure of comparison. There was only ever one at a time where I was from.

[boobwindow]

Your powers don't work on her?

[boobwindow]

"Anything" is kinda vague.

[boobwindow]

Just one? It's possible there are more, they just aren't public about it.

Considering she sent some of our community to a dimension populated entirely by machines, it's not a ludicrous notion.

[boobwindow]

To what, dismantle these machines?

[ A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION IS VAGUE. ]

[viced]

Not in the slightest, unfortunately.

[amiga]

There's nothing, Karen. Not even anecdotal evidence about who could be responsible. [She scowls.]

action!

[boobwindow]

Something's really not right here. There's no way after all this time we haven't come up with anything. [ Her eyes flicker over the city now. A whole new universe.

Again.

It's frightening, to be honest. Helena being alive leaves her feeling overwhelmed with joy, but confusion -- and concern. Past experiences leave a terrible sense of foreboding in her gut. ]

[ A long, suffering sigh. ]

I've got my work cut out for me.

private; video

[viced]

We all do. At least here, you won't be alone. That's at least some consolation.

[deductives]

No. To help them with an alien invasion, apparently.

[boobwindow]

[ Helena's alive. She can't stop telling herself that. ]

Heh, guess so...

[boobwindow]

Okay, no one mentioned that.

[deductives]

Skrulls. They're a multiversal problem.

action!

[amiga]

Agreed. But I've looked and found nothing. Dick was here for years. He didn't find anything either. And my father was...

[Her voices trails off.]

The greatest detectives from dozens of universes have investigated this to no avail. And it all started nearly five years ago.
