Characters: Shayera Hol, and anyone who runs into her!
Date: June 23rd
Location: she'll start off in the Earth Sector, but she'll wander to the other sectors throughout the day.
Situation: her arrival on the turtle!
Warnings/Rating: it's Shayera, so don't expect her to be too friendly. other than that, not really expecting anything too severe.

[Honestly, Shayera had been in worse situations. Like the Thangarian invasion, or the Cadmus Crisis, and countless other that would no doubt take too long to list. But most of those incidents, she chose to get involved in. This one? Not so much. If the "Emperor" had asked and given her a good reason to come, she might have agreed.

But no, they dragged her here, most likely while she was sleeping, and so far, no way of getting back to Earth. Needless to say, she didn't feel like playing along. Sure, she'd at least go to her apartment in the Earth Sector and check out the room they gave her. Well, at least it's got plenty of room for her to stretch her wings. But after spending a little time in her room, she explores more around the Earth Sector, trying to ask people for a possible way out, or even more information about the place.

Once she's gotten her bearings in the Earth Sector, she flies over to the other sectors, moving onto the Fire, Wood, Water, and Metal Sectors in that order. Expect her overall demeanor to be frustrated, muttering curses under her breath occasionally.] If I see those guys again, I'll take my mace, and shove it up their-- [She cuts herself off, since people are starting to give her looks. Of course, her scowl isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Approach at your own risk.] I dare this day to try and get worse.

[ Now that Kara actually has to sleep at night and eat during the day, she spends as much time out of doors as she can. She had gotten used to idling her time away, and now her days feel almost painfully short. Worse, when she isn't working at the lab she feels useless.

Honestly, the sight of wings is something of a relief. It means someone new is here, somebody Kara can probably talk to. That and she wonders if the stranger's ability to fly is hampered like Kara's is, given that she clearly has wings and Kara does not.

She hesitates when she realizes how angry the woman is, but, well, the suit her father gave her should offer some protection in addition to being nostalgic. ]

Um, hello! Are you having some trouble?

[She glances to Kara upon hearing the question, and seeing the "S" makes her stop in place. It was... different from what she usually wears, but she looks pretty much the same. Kara didn't seem to know her, either, so suddenly saying she knew her might be too much right now. That, and Shayera spoke to her maybe once or twice in passing.] Trouble finding a way out of here, mostly.

[ Kara doesn't notice any recognition, though she does see the glance at her family's crest. It isn't uncommon for her to run into people who are familiar with her cousin. ]

As far as anyone has been able to tell, there isn't one. [ Though she's adopted this place as her new home, she isn't unsympathetic. She remembers the feeling of wanting to get out, to go home. How could she forget? ]

If it's not rude to ask, are you able to fly? There's a barrier over the turtle that could badly hurt you if you run into it.

Great. Just my luck. [She doesn't have time for a pit stop, there's a world that might need her help.]

Yeah. I was flying earlier, but I thought it might be good to stay on the ground for a while. But a barrier, huh? [She looks up toward the sky, curiously.] They keeping something out? Or us in?

[ She shrugs. She is sadly ill-informed on these sorts of things. ]

It's hard to say. There are certainly things to be kept out, though it hasn't been a hundred percent successful in that sense. [ It worked well enough on the OCEAN, but zombies? Apparently too much for it. ]

If it's powered by the turtle himself like I think it probably is, then it seems likely that it's there for our and his protection. [ She may not trust the Emperor and his crew, but the turtle? She loves this turtle. ]

I take it there's been a few break ins? [No place is ever without conflict. This is something she's learned over the years in the army.]

So the turtle determines how strong the barrier can be. If things can get in, does that mean the barrier's been weakening?

[ Kara just nods. It's difficult to explain the zombies, and the rubble from the spaceship was clearly at least hindered by the barrier. Better for her to ask somebody who actually knows how the thing works. ]

It might be. Tu Vishan is sick, so that would make sense. That may explain why our powers are missing or weakened, or it might not. There's so much to research and not nearly enough time or manpower.

The turtle's sick? [And it's effecting her own powers... this place just gets better and better.] Hasn't someone tried examining it? Or don't the natives have special medics for it?

[ She nods fervently. Examining it was jumped on pretty quickly by everyone capable. ]

Dr. Banner and I and several others are doing everything we can to identify the source of the illness. I'm not sure this sort of thing has ever happened before. The kedan don't seem to have any idea what to do about it.

[Shayera crosses her arms, lips pressed tightly together in a stressed line.] What about giving it medicine? There's got to be some kind that would help at least a little.

To help an animal this size the amount of medication needed would be... well, massive. [ And then you had to find a way to give it to the turtle, and she had never even seen a turtle before, so she wouldn't be any help there. ]

And we have no idea what kind of medication he needs, or how we would get enough.

Do the locals not even know much about the turtle? Or even have some sort of medicine in reserves for it? [They're not very well-prepared to tend to a giant turtle.]

If they do, they've kept incredibly quiet about it.

[Shayera is extremely unimpressed right now.] They can't even take care of the one being that keeps them alive. These guys are not making a good impression. And still no way out, not even a boom tube...

I could say the same about a lot of cultures. [ Namely Earth and Krypton. Those are the only ones she knows. ]

What is a 'boom tube'?

... point taken. [Earthlings certainly don't seem caring about their planet at times.

That question makes her raise an eyebrow. Was she a Kara from a different universe or something?] It's like a teleporter, kinda like a doorway across the universe.

Across the universe? How? [ Of course, it's entirely likely that Shayera is not in fact a scientist and doesn't actually know. ] I mean, that's fascinating.

You'll have to ask New Genesis that. I don't know how their technology works. [It astounds her for sure, too, especially considering Luthor got his hands on one somehow.]

What's New Genesis? [ It's a good question. It could be anything from a single person to an entire planet. ]

A planet the League went to once. We went to ask for help in stopping a war, but they wound up being attacked. Everything ended all right, though.

Oh! [ Now there's a word she knows. ]

The League, is that the one Kal is a member of? I mean, Superman?

Yep. One of the founding members, as a matter of fact. [Where she's from at least.] And I'm guessing you're Sup-- Kara, his cousin?

[ She nods, a touch less excited only because it's clear that this woman knows another version of Kara. ]

I am. I take it you've met another version of me? [ Seems like most people she meets have. ]

Mm... sort of. I only new you as Superman's cousin. You went by Supergirl in the League. [That was pretty much all she knew about Kara.]

It seems like everyone I talk to knows about him. It's been six months already and I'm still just getting used to him not being a baby anymore.
