[The comm switches on to reveal the face of an entirely uninterested looking male. Blonde hair, blue eyed and strangely charming despite the thuggish look about him. The small smirk on his lips possibly helps with the charm, if nothing else, giving off an odd mixture of weary yet genuine amusement. He's soon breaking the moment of silence with a

[kaloskaiagathos]

There is a police presence in the City, sir. Though given the size of the superhero population, their resources are a little strained.

[video forever]

[doubleoohbaby]

Considering the factor of these heroes, I'd assume the resources would be rather the opposite from strained.

[kaloskaiagathos]

Normally, sir, I would agree. But the situation's unique. As you can imagine consistency, governance, chain of command -- they're all hard to establish when you can't tell who'll be here one day and out the next.

[doubleoohbaby]

Are people prone to vanishing?

[kaloskaiagathos]

Just the imPorted, sir.

[doubleoohbaby]

Leave as quickly as they come, do they?

[kaloskaiagathos]

Not necessarily. I've spoken to people that have logged more than a year on the ground here in the City. But according to the reports, when people are exPorted, it's without as much warning as being brought in, sir.

[doubleoohbaby]

Ah, I see. How tragic.

[He's pretty used to that idea in a job like his. No goodbyes is the norm.]

[kaloskaiagathos]

[ Considers this. ]

Perhaps. Arguably no more tragic then being imPorted in the first place.

[doubleoohbaby]

Considering we don't appear to have any say in the matter, I'd assume it's something we have to deal with no matter what.

[kaloskaiagathos]

Yes sir. Trying to make the best of the situation is the only thing we can do. Though it's my understanding attempts have been made to reverse the process.

[doubleoohbaby]

Any successful?

[kaloskaiagathos]

Not as far as I can tell. There's documentation available over the Network if you're interested, sir. Nothing a quick scan can't find.

[doubleoohbaby]

I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

Your name?

[kaloskaiagathos]

Captain Karl Agathon, callsign Helo.

[ A beat. ] Welcome to the City.

[doubleoohbaby]

Appreciated, Captain. Aircraft, is it?
