[ 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. ]

But nobody is giving me a why. What did we do to tick off Vulcanus?

[enigmaestro]

What have the more criminal Gothamites done to irritate Batman? Well, killing people for starters... He seems to dislike that.

Guess what imPorts have done. Guess what heroes have done -- need you a hint? [A beat.] Is this necessarily the core value violated? Unlikely. But it's the propaganda they're using, so it is what we deal with.

[boobwindow]

[ Oh, boy. She takes a deep breath. ]

And how does the public feel about Vulcanus?

[enigmaestro]

Mixed reactions. Regionally inclined, it would seem.

[boobwindow]

I guess I'll take mixed over in favor.

Have any of the imPorts attempted talks with them?

[ Maybe they can smooth things over diplomatically. ]

[enigmaestro]

I'm most involved with the local political sphere -- though I've heard of cases where individuals or groups involve themselves with heroics and public opinion.

Thinking of involving yourself?

[boobwindow]

I'll need to go over all the information available on them, but if they're stirring up trouble for the imPort populace I'll gladly help others dismantle them.

[enigmaestro]

It would be interesting, to watch a unified front unfold. Not that there haven't been attempts, mind, but the nature of this universe makes for an impermanent resolve.

People can as easily get ported out, I'm saying.

[boobwindow]

That is something to consider, but if this Vulcanus group is as big as a problem as I'm being led to believe, then something's got to be done.

[enigmaestro]

And you think you have the solution, well. This world isn't like ours, Power Girl.

You've got to work with the structure available.

[boobwindow]

Yeah, I got that. [ Squints forever at Arkhamite Deputy Mayors!!

Or for like a month. ]

What has been done, then?

[enigmaestro]

City Hall is pushing for Citizens Organizing Costume Kind. Legislation that better equips our vigilantes to their, ah, passionate hobbies.

[boobwindow]

[ She doesn't like the sound of that. ]

Hobby? You think we do this for kicks?

[enigmaestro]

I have been on the receiving end enough to know you all literally do it for kicks.

[boobwindow]

Then you clearly know nothing.

[enigmaestro]

Falsehood.

[Wow his powers are so literal!!]

Just a bit of fun, Power Girl. No need to take such offense. I'd advise against it, in fact, given how telling such plays can be.

[boobwindow]

Then you better watch what comes out of your big mouth.
