video/open + Action

[justice_from_above]

[The video feed opens on a tattooed face with a serious expression. Fareeha is here for business; it hadn't taken her long to agree to the Legionnaire's Oath, given the dire situation and her own desire to help where she could.]

Fareeha Amari reporting in. I would appreciate an internal summary from the front lines, if anyone is willing and able. As well if anyone has any questions about my training or previous experience, please do not hesitate to ask.


Action - later

After hearing from America that Reinhardt was here and in the medical wing, she makes it a priority to go check in on him and announce her own arrival. Sadly, when she arrives, she'll not find him there - or likely to be anywhere.

Feel free to catch her anywhere between the living quarters and medical.

Sounds like you're one of two people with armor that isn't connected to them somehow.

[It's a little strange, honestly. Out of all the universes, why so many from that specific one?

Well, at least former military brings competence with it.]

America Beeny. Judge from Mega-City One. If you've got any specific questions, I can try to fill in the blanks. Admittedly, I probably won't do as well as some of the older hands around here...

[justice_from_above]

Oh really? Who is the other, I wonder? [And, of course, she's curious about this Freelancer organization, if they seem to be such a presence.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Beeny. How long have you been here, if I may ask?

[thedreamisdead]

Some kraut with a hammer. Reinhardt, I believe? [She waves her hand, though the camera doesn't catch the gesture well.] Last I heard, he was in medical. I don't know him very well.

Only a few days. I hear tell some people have been here for over six months now. It's a complicated situation.

[justice_from_above]

[While Fareeha had become fairly relaxed in the conversation, the name ilicits an immediate change; she sits up straighter and gives a positively beaming smile.]

Reinhardt! Yes, I'm very familiar with him. He's an old family friend. [And hero! Her brow furrows as she thinks about him in medical; he's not the type to go down easy.] Medical, you say? [She'd have to go find that post haste.]

It certainly does sound that.Well, I'm in it for the long haul, however long that may be.

[thedreamisdead]

Ah. Funny how many of the recruits that come in seem to be from the same worlds. [Made sense if they were being hand-picked. With Fareeha coming in right after he got hospitalized, America can't help but wonder if this was a conscious replacement on the Time Trapper's part.

Unfortunately, Reinhardt may or may not be in Medical anymore, depending on various circumstances that America isn't aware of.]

Hopefully not that long. Even so, I'm getting a lot of work done while I'm here, so I can't complain too much.

[justice_from_above]

[Fareeha seeking out Reinhardt was going to be a roller coaster of emotions that she will stoically keep to herself, is what's going to happen. She may already be looking for directions to Medical while she's talking to America.]

Is there anyone else from your world here?

[thedreamisdead]

Unfortunately not. Then again, the first man who comes to mind for this kind of thing... Wouldn't have any part of it.

[Probably why he wasn't chosen.]

Dredd's a bit of a stickler. The Legion's a little... liberal for his tastes.

[justice_from_above]

Liberal? How do you find them liberal? [She's thinking about the 'don't kill anything' rule, and while she's mature enough to follow it, it is a deviation from her role in Helix, a self-described 'kill everything' team.]

[thedreamisdead]

The entire culture's different. In my world, you could say we run things as a police state. The Justice Department is the government, has been since it overthrew the President and dismissed Congress in the chaos following the Atom War.

Where I'm from, I'm the liberal. And I honestly have a hard time understanding how these people have managed to avoid collapsing.

[Not that she isn't studying it. Intently. Looking for whatever it is, whatever she can bring back home to lighten things up a little.]

[justice_from_above]

I imagine that would be some pretty serious culture shock, yes.

[She goes quiet for a moment, thinking back on the collapse of Overwatch. On the other hand, she couldn't imagine living in a police state like what America is describing; her world might have its flaws but the idea of people and omnics being free was always something she would support.]

I would like to talk to you in depth about it, if you're willing.

[thedreamisdead]

Honestly, it's still sinking in a bit. Just typical that when I was sitting down to think about how to handle things, half the team got kidnapped.

[Isn't that just the way?]

I'm open to discussion.

[Gotta be better than dealing with Baldwin's self-righteous temper tantrums whenever they talk.]

[justice_from_above]

Could we meet somewhere at a later date? I'd like a chance to check on my friend, first, but I'll be at your disposal after that.

[Gotta check on the big ol' German and find out he's not even here anymore.]

[thedreamisdead]

[She laughs.]

Well, I didn't think you meant immediately. Priorities, after all. But, no, message me at your convenience. We can talk over synthi-kaf or something.

[justice_from_above]

Well, yes, I'm still settling in and I'm sure you have work ahead of you. Still, I am interested. Thank you for contacting me, America, you've been a great help.

[thedreamisdead]

Wish I could be of more help. Either way, at your leisure. Good luck with Reinhardt.

[justice_from_above]

Thank you. I will talk to you later.
