Hello, fellow Transports! I know we're in a bit of a pinch right now what with this super-virus mutating and infecting some of the population, but if you have a minute I've got some questions I'd appreciate some answers to. Some of them may help either now, if we're going to be trying to treat this virus at all, or in the future should anything like this happen again.

What's your name?
Age?
Place of origin? Planet, country, and city of origin would be the most helpful.
Species? If you're anything other than a baseline human, does your biology differ in any notable ways?
What occupation did you have in your world of origin? "Student" and "unemployed" are perfectly valid answers.
Do you have any prior experience with war?
Time travel?
Alternate universes?
Technology at the level the Initiative is operating with?
Do you have any background in medicine?
What about the STEM fields? For anyone who doesn't know, that would be Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
What kind of weapon did you choose upon entrance to Exsilium? If it has a special function, feel free to include that at your discretion.
Have you made use of the Initiative's training areas outside of mandatory training hours?
If you answered no to the above, why not?
What is your opinion on the Initiative and their missions?

Feel free to skip any questions you feel are too intrusive, or encrypt things if you would like to answer but would rather not answer to the whole network. Similarly, if you would like to answer but don't trust the Initiative's technology, I can currently be found in the library (the one not in the Hold) and would love to either talk face to face or take answers written elsewhere. Look for the blonde in the Metropolis University sweatshirt. Any and all private communication will be kept completely confidential and is only to satisfy my own curiosity. Thank you in advance for any answers!

And, out of the interest of fairness, I'll give you my own answers to this little survey.

What's your name? Kara Zor-El.
Age? Functionally somewhere around 19/20.
Place of origin? Earth, United States of America, Metropolis. Originally from the planet Krypton.
Species? Kryptonian. We look fairly human on the outside, but our internal organs are vastly different from those of the Homo sapiens sapiens. Radiation from a yellow sun also affects our bodies in ways baseline humans don't experience.
What occupation did you have in your world of origin? Full-time superhero. I've also sold some technology to a business with a large R&D department.
Do you have any prior experience with war? Yes.
Time travel? Yes.
Alternate universes? Sadly, yes.
Technology at the level the Initiative is operating with? Possibly, yes. I haven't had time to analyze all of it.
Do you have any background in medicine? Nothing more than basic first aid, but I'm interested in learning more.
What about the STEM fields? Yes. I was part of the Science Guild back on New Krypton. These days I mostly focus on mechanical and electronic engineering, with astro- and temporal physics being a hobby.
What kind of weapon did you choose upon entrance to Exsilium? A small sphere the functions of which are unknown.
Have you made use of the Initiative's training areas outside of mandatory training hours? I have plans to.
If you answered no to the above, why not? N/A
What is your opinion on the Initiative and their missions? I haven't been here long enough to form a complete opinion, but so far I think they're in over their heads a bit. Messing with time is always difficult and usually inadvisable.

[ ooc | here, have a textbox with the survey in it to make filling it out easier! ]

Wow. I didn't know that sort of stuff happened outside of books.

[ Because de-aging is so common and all, right? ]

[skort]

Says the man in the body of a sixteen-year-old boy.

But if it makes it any easier to believe, the technology that did it didn't come from Earth.

[justkingthough]

Point taken.

It must have been weird to wake up from.

[skort]

It was incredibly weird. One of the first people I met when I woke up was my little cousin. He had been an infant the last time I saw him and then suddenly he was a grown man.

He turned out to be an awesome cousin-slash-big brother figure, but it was an interesting adjustment.

[justkingthough]

I can only imagine. I never had any issues like that, at least; my siblings all de-aged with me when we returned to England from the alternate world we'd ended up growing up in and time had more or less stopped while we were gone. Or we were sent back to the exact moment we left. I can't tell which still.

[skort]

That sounds pretty amazing. What kind of world was it that you all went to?

[justkingthough]

It was something out of a fairy tale, really. There are large mountain ranges, beautiful lakes, the most amazing fields to go riding in... My castle was made of glass and marble and overlooked the ocean from a cliff. Narnia has lots of magic in it, too, and magical creatures - elves, witches, ogres, centaurs... Anything you can think of, really. I even got to meet Santa Claus.
