Alright, so, listen up here, chumps, 'cause I'm still on the "making you all look good" squad and I'm looking for new recruits. The deal is, we try to keep the poor folk who got stuck with this whiz-bang gadget in their city, which, they really oughta put a name to, but I digress. These people've got psychos with lightning coming out of their eyeballs crawling out of every inch of the woodwork, and it ain't their fault at all. Least that I figure, we can tell them what's going on in their own damn home. In the process, maybe we can let people know that we're on thier side, and not the other way around.

So if you don't mind talking to people, got contacts with the press, or hell, have a pleasing telephone voice, I'd sure like to hear from you. And well, if you don't have none of those things but'd still like to help out, I'm sure I can think of something.

Also, what's with all the signs in all the windows? Decoration Day ain't till the thirtieth.

Oh, no--I'm just unused to slang; I'll adapt.

My name is Elika.

I sorta pile it on real thick 'cause I think I'm making a point.

Yeah, Bucky. Enchanted, all of that.

Likewise, Bucky.

I don't know what you need help with, specifically, but I know how to use a telephone now, and I know how to organize people and events. I can read and write and count. I'm not entirely familiar with this place yet, but I'm a quick study.

I can use the computer...a bit?

Don't sweat the technomological stuff.

Are you willing to be on call when big crowds of people need addressing? We could use more people like that.

[a laugh] Now that's a relief to hear.

Certainly! I can do that. Anything else?

Trust me, I'm right there with you on that front.

And nah, if you're willing to do that, I think we'll get along fine.

Are you from the past as well?

Nah, I'm from the present, I'm just stuck in the future.

Very well-put. What is your present like?

There's a war on.

Oh! I'm sorry.
