First Video

[The video is side ways, and the women shown in it is peering down into the camera as if it might jump out and eat her.]

Is this blasted thing even on? What's it doing? I think it's doing something.

[She turns, screen careening to the sky.]

You. You there! Would you help me work this contraption? Better yet, tell me where on God's green earth I am?

[There's a boy's voice answering her for a second, and then the sound of someone running off after a short, rather primal shout.]

Where in the hell is Prospero? I bet one of those little brats did this. Just wait until I get back there. I'll have them in detention until they have kids.

[The video is now mostly obscured by dark, checker print cloth. She's holding the device to her hip.]

Honestly, how rude can those kids be to a little old lady?

It's recording.

From my understanding, this is an island off the Continental United States. You believe children sent you here?

[She's a little startled that the device spoke back.]

Oh, so I did manage to work this thing. Now, who are you?

[Softly, more to herself.]My, my. A picture phone. What will they think of next?

[More loudly.] Do you know what state we're near? I'm afraid I've never heard of this place. [A pause.] And yes, children. You know, the special sort.

Unfortunately I can't say where exactly, I am... not from terra originally.

[ Garviel nods knowingly. ]

Ah, yes. Psykers.

Not from terra? Psykers? What are you going on about?

Simply put, I am a human from another star. And psykers are... ah, people with powers that manipulate time and space in ways that people like myself cannot.

It's on, ma'am.

Are your children lacking in discipline so that your first thought is they would send you here?

Well, that's one way of putting it. But the way you talk about it, I highly doubt we're thinking of the same people. The word meta-human mean anything to you?

[Look at that, someone with manners. Ingrid is pleased.]

So it is. And I've seemed to have called some stranger. You do not look like one of my students.

You've never been in charge of a classroom of metas, have you? Some are just that undisciplined. Some wouldn't be able to control it, even if they'd wanted to.

...Oi, quit moving it so much. It's on.

[And you're giving him motion sickness.]

I have read it in old texts referring to human mutation, and the psyker abilities. At a certain point we decided to go towards personal augmentation and alteration, and men like myself are referred to as transhuman, as are the techpriests.... however all my alterations have been taken from me.

That's because I'm not one of your students. [Wonders if she's better or worse than Cross.] Prospero is an island in the United States.

I'll do as I please, young man. [But she stops moving, despite that.]

That much I know. I'd remember hair like that.

Last time I checked a map, such an island didn't exist.

Augmentation. Your people allow themselves to be experimented on?

Tch, whatever.

[Oh thank god. But lsdjfa; okay this lady kind of reminds him of the generals. He'll behave himself.]

What kind of brats would strand a person in this place anyway?

Ones who think that misusing their powers make a fine practical joke. The culprit will be taken care of the second I get back to the school.

Tch. If it's even them-- a bunch of us got dragged here, and I've never met a kid that can send so many people to a random island without them knowing.

[From other times and worlds for that matter, but he's still too incredulous about that.]

With what I've seen over the years, I wouldn't put anything past a new meta. But now I'm curious, just how many people have been displaced here?

...Last I counted, around twenty to twenty five. Some come later than others.

[He does frown, though, stumbling over a word she just used.]

What's a "meta"?

Very unlikely that it would be one of my students. Someone may have powers that would allow a large number to be transported, but the time delay doesn't sound like anything I've heard of.

Meta-human. People with powers. Some would say mutants, but that's rather offensives to us.

Yeah. I'm assuming you've just arrived here-- I've been here a month.

[Hold the phone.]

...People like that are born?

[He doesn't mean to sound offensive-- rather, he sounds surprised that such people are born naturally rather than artificially.]
