( When she speaks, Collette aims to sound warm. She's tired, keyed up, and confused as well as trying to understand what's gone on since the mutiny began, and what's continuing in the aftermath. She brings a question she'd talked to Ros about, in her own way; something she wants to know very simply because she doesn't, and it's all the more important now.

Out of respect for that same woman, she keep's Ros's name out of this. )

When it comes down to do or die, who do you trust here to make decisions to pull people through, and not leave people stranded high and dry, or freeze up and fall into inaction? People who keep their temper in heated circumstances. Ones who maybe aren't going to forget the bigger picture, even if that doesn't make it easy on the smaller scale.

I've got a few names myself! Blue, Kate Kane, Nathan Summers, Caesar Silverberg, Lenalee Lee, Xerxes Break, Gilbert Nightray, Jaime Reyes, Ashraf, Kang, Peter Quill, Donny, Armin Arlert, Chrono and Rosette, even Dick Grayson and Ahiru and Vanadi, of all people, would stand by you figuring things out.

Those are some of mine. What're yours?

I'm going to keep talking, though, so you might want to tune out if you don't want to hear me ramble about a few maybe important, maybe not things!

Hey, Blue? All those questions about AIs... I think you were asking for a reason. Is it up for discussion? Because I think it should be past a planning stage.

Jai-- ( She coughs. ) Hi! Blue Beetle? Hahaha, I'm sorry, that's two blues in a row, but um, with all that stuff on Project Chimera, have you like, found anything talking about when they started learning how to grow people up so fast? Someone had to have a breakthrough on that, unless science really works that way! I'm not sure, it's all super advanced for when I'm from.

And um... okay, I'm not sure about this one either. Tony? Tony Stark? What do you know about uh... renewable energy stuff?

my apologies but i can at least type again reasonably reliably

Alexandria. Who doesn't want to see Alexandria? The one that burned down, not one of the other eighteen of them. But I don't see why we couldn't do something like that. Got anything specific in mind for it? Nuclear's a big favorite, I think.

hahah yay

I guess, but that usually gets weird because of weaponstuff... It's not like history's going to get less warzone on us. Think there's anything else? I really don't know if people being able to poison the land itself for hundreds of years earlier than they can now will exactly be an improvement.

Solar power tends to be the most eco-happy alternate. Hydrogen. My tech is pretty fantastic, but would be difficult to synthesize without bending the shit out of history depending on where you put it in. Not that nuclear or whatever else wouldn't be. [ Stuff tends to develop the way it does for a reason, after all. Not that she isn't clearly aware of that. ]

[crocodilesmiles]

Solar power's been amped way up from what it had been, so maybe more of that at first? And the other stuff, hydrogen, can that be safer? Your stuff... maybe your stuff can come in later, if we find a place where nuclear got really important? Have a shift and it can beat out the nuclear stuff?

[fe_male]

That depends on who you leave it with, but I guess that matters depending on whoever you leave sources of literal power with.

That works for me though. Probably better not to leave tinier, more-explosive sources of bomb material in earlier points in history. Also I'm not sure that the chemical synthesis necessary even has the structure to exist any... earlier than it did organically. More or less.
