Chris clears his throat a little, before asking, weakly-

"Stacy, um, I have a question, what's the biosphere like? Are people going to have to worry about diseases? If the sun's a red dwarf, that would seem like native life'd have had a very long time to evolve..." It's already struck him that something bizarre is going on on the ship, or Geoff would have died of about a thousand different modern-day household plagues by now...

He looks around at the others, particularly the folks picked to go on the mission, with a 'good question right???' expression.

"I already left this place once," Sawyer said. He was visibly annoyed. When isn't he? "And you hauled my @$$ back here just to tell me I had to leave anyway?"

Wry smile toward Sawyer, "Want us to bring a souvenir?"

Kate added, "Still like to know more what's down there. It's not something like dinosaur planet is it?"

"Yeah," Sawyer nodded to Kate. "Ya find any jockey shorts down there that aren't made of poison ivy, pick me up a couple of packs."

"Sure, should I be starting a shopping list?" She smirked some more.

Brainiac 5 Robotic Variant nods and shoots a superior look at his counterpart.

"It would appear that the ship has made an accurate decision in this instance. My skills would be more suited to this mission, I believe."

Unfortunately that means he can't spend time in the labs going through other Brainy's stuff working on important projects, but he supposes that will happen in due time.

"I would really appreciate it if the both of you would stop the game of one-upsmanship." Superman said. "My world has four different Green Lanterns and two Flash's that work side by side without feeling the need to compare the size of their...contributions" Superman said. "It's...not what a hero does."

Yes, he was irritated, and yes he went there.

His face falls instantly and he glances away. "I am sorry, Superman. I'll try to be less..." He winces slightly but there's no avoiding it. "...petty."

It would be too difficult for him to explain to his hero, of all people, that he's just feeling out of place. Waking up in a new and unfamiliar location is difficult at the best of times, but finding that there's another version of him here already, one that's organic and has been here for longer? He knows people will compare them without even meaning to and he also knows that humans feel more comfortable around people who aren't comprised almost entirely of cybernetics and nanotechnology. So he automatically goes out of his way to try and prove his usefulness in the hopes it will outweigh the other's experience and their intrinsic differences.

Unfortunately all it's done so far has been to get him on his hero's (he'd like to think of them as friends, but he doesn't feel like he really knows this Superman as well) bad side.

He nods at the other's suggestion and is all too aware of how his 'offers of assistance' must look now. "You're right," he agrees, albeit reluctantly. "The presence of two of us would be of more use to everyone if we agreed to work together."

He hesitates and struggles with the words for a moment before adding, "I'm sorry. For everything I said. And for what it's worth, I believe you could also offer considerable insight into matters that I'm... inexperienced with."

Now that it's said, he finds it strangely easier to manage a smile and continue. "But some friendly competition never hurt and I had been complaining about the lack of decent opponents for chess."

The smile becomes more genuine at the offer. "I would be interested in hearing more about your version of C.O.M.P.U.T.O. and the Legion. Both sound fascinatingly different."

There's a moment more of hesitation, then he offers his hand in truce. "Perhaps having a challenge will also result in betterment for the crew as well as intellectual stimulation."

And just behind the two, Superman smiles. Even if it's two people at a time, he was going to do his damnedest to get folks on the same page.
