Believe me when I say I do not intend to be here any longer than you do. I've already been fermenting plans to escape this hellhole, but to little avail on my own. It would be most beneficial to work with you.

My name is Lex Luthor. I am the smartest man in the world I come from. And it is my firm belief that humankind shall always conquer monsters and the alien.

Agreed; working with people of various abilities is the only way we'll get anywhere. What, exactly, do you have to offer, other than just your intelligence? I can leverage that, but I want to know what I'm working with.

[greatestmanll40]

While my strongsuit is my intelligence, I have trained myself to peak human conditions along with a variety of fighting styles. In terms of millitary experience, back home I had worked several times with the American military and was even President of the nation for a term.

Also, I have had similar experiences like Mayfield. Apokolips, Salvation Run, Hell. The former two being brutal planets, the latter being the real deal. I escaped all three, and I intend to do the same here.

[She chuckles.] Watch them try to put you in charge of this outfit.

I'll welcome any contributions at this point, but you'll probably want to be informed. Where should I start?

[greatestmanll40]

Indeed I would.

Wherever you would want to start is fine by me.

[wristsniper]

There's a pamphlet that will tell you a good deal of what you need to know about this place. You'll want to contact Dist, I believe.

[greatestmanll40]

And who is Dist?

[wristsniper]

My former assigned husband. He's some sort of weapons engineer with an ego the size of Amestris.
