First Lance - [video]

[The rat woman who may have been seen atop various buildings across the city appears on the screen, sans hat, looking unsure for a moment before appearing to realize the feed is working correctly. She clears her throat quietly before speaking in a serious manner.]

I have a question for you all, if you would be so kind as to answer.

There seem to be many worlds represented in this city, but I have noticed that there are many from a planet called Earth. I am from the planet Gaia, but I have yet to meet anyone from my world, be it the same or an alternate version.

So my question is: What world are you from, and is it similar to this place we've found ourselves in? I would like to see if there is any correlation between the home worlds of people brought here.

[Hopefully someone will be there to clean it up.]

Yes, but... [So he wasn't familiar with just plain old camaraderie? She wasn't unfamiliar with loners, but...] I believe the more informed everyone is, the better off we are likely to be.

[Cleanup is SO not Deadlock's job.]

Yeah, good luck finding others who don't want to be here. Everyone seems pretty fine with it.

[Except Deadlock.]

I... [Certainly a cheerful and optimistic one, aren't you, Deadlock? She can't help but be a little exasperated, but she'll just pretend his sarcasm isn't there.] Thank you. I'm certain there must be a few others, at least.

Haven't found many.

[Because of course they'd all come to tell Deadlock, right? With all this charm?]

[He's a real people person. Anyone avoiding him is missing out.]

Even so, it would do no good to give up. [You gotta have confidence!] ... Thank you for all the information. I hope to put it to good use somehow.

[He knows! ...wait a minute. That was sarcasm, wasn't it?]

Do I sound like I've given up?

[Well...] It only sounds as if you're discouraged.

Just a fraggin' setback. I'm trying to find someone.

[Wiiiiiiing, you are making him look bad.]

Someone in particular?

[People usually weren't that hard to find in this place, considering how small the current habitable areas were.]

[There's an unhappy rev of his engines.]

Yeah. Looks like me. Except perky. And a jet.

[Considering she hasn't seen any others like him...] I would think they would be easy to find... You do not think they have been sent home?

[That some kinda insult?]

I've been looking.

[Not so easy to find!]

And he better not have been sent home. Fraggin' jet.

[No, no, you're just... very unique, is all.]

I'm afraid I haven't seen him. I hope that you are able to find him, in any case. [Whether that means going home or Wing is still here.]
