[When the video feed initially comes on, it's pointed slightly too high and catches only the upward flip of hair on the person trying to use it. However the angle is quickly corrected and Tintin comes fully into view.]

I've been doing some digging since my arrival; is it true that the network is the only information delivery system here? No papers at all? [The question's clearly a bit hypothetical, as he barrels forward regardless.] With the network being so active, it seems like it would be easy to misplace high priority information. Or is there a way to break how it's sorted down a little more specifically? By the sound of it, most of us are out of our depths here and it might be a good idea to have some kind of system that's a little more-- [He waffles a moment, looking for the right word.] --well, 'focused' I suppose.

On that note, I'd appreciate any information you might have regarding a few statistics: how long the average Transport stays in Exsilium, any census data on hand, how common the missions the Initiative sends us on are and the like. Any hard fact is a good one.

--Oh! [He sharpens, suddenly serious.] And if anyone knows where to find dog food, I'd appreciate that as well. It comes in a can.

[ That's about the general consensus. Oh well. ]

Let's just say Naga can carry up to four people on her back. She's gentle though, so you wouldn't have to worry about Snowy getting hurt.

[ Doot doot doo just offering up Korra's pet laa de daa ]

[gingerscoops]

Great snakes! You can ride her? That's spectacular! [He can't even imagine what that looks like-- well, no, he can, but he'd bet the reality is even better.]

Are polar bear-dogs very common where you're from?

[chittybang]

[ It is a little spectacular polar bear-dogs can be ridden given the fact that they're wild animals, but she can tell his appreciation exceeds that aspect. Interesting what's normal to some is extraordinary to others around here. ]

They're not endangered or anything, but you don't usually see them around the city. My friend tamed hers in the South Pole, and you rarely see them apart. I'm sure you'll come across them at some point.

[gingerscoops]

I'll keep an eye out. Though it doesn't seem like I'll have to keep them open very wide.

[After all, how hard could it be to spot a huge dog crossed with a polar bear?]

[chittybang]

Not at all. Korra has a very big personality to begin with, so add a polar bear-dog on top of that and you're bound to run into them.

[gingerscoops]

Excellent! Well hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later.

[Smiling, Tintin settles back into his chair.] Thank you again for your help, Asami. It's nice to know that even if the circumstances here aren't the best ones, at least the people are putting their best foot forward.

[chittybang]

You're welcome. [ It isn't easy keeping up a positive face, so it's nice to know it's having an effect. ]

Let me know if there's anything I can do for you, alright?

[gingerscoops]

Absolutely. And the same can be said for me; if you need a hand, I've got two. [He splays them in full view of the camera just to emphasize his point, then terminates the feed.]
