[ Lois had been on the ship for a few days and she already had more questions than answers. She should lay low and stay out of trouble or ask Clark to do this for her... But that wasn't her style. And considering recent revelations, she'd rather do this on her own.

Despite the temptation, she didn't snoop around upon arrival - instead choosing a more direct approach. She starts the feed in her room, seated at her desk. ]

Hi, most of you probably don't know me. My name's Lois Lane and I have a question for all of you, or a few I suppose. I'm a journalist back home so call it a habit, but I'd love to speak with whoever's willing. Either on or off the record, considering my job seemed to find a way to transfer itself here. I'd preferably like to meet in person, but I can be flexible. Nothing too serious - more about backgrounds, how long you've been on the ship, demographics to establish a baseline. A few questions about your experiences while here if you're willing to share.

[ Her more in-depth questions are something she'd rather keep off the network, at least the ones she'd figured out so far. This process was going to have to be organic based on responses. Speaking of keeping things off the network and getting it out of her head... ]

Also, does anyone have any actual paper and either a pen or pencil they might be willing to part with until I can get a supply of my own? I'll find a way to pay you back. Thank you all for your time and possible assistance.

[ Seems fitting to throw that in there right before she ends her feed, try and work towards building up her own resources as best she can. The message is short and to the point, she'll deal with trying to get interviews with the Captains once she's got a bit of a firmer grip on the real situation.

Hopefully.]

Sure, I don't mind. When and where would you like to meet?

Video

[flakjackets]

Perfect. If you're up for it tonight, that'd work for me. Maybe the mess hall? Or would you prefer someplace more private?

[ Now this is interesting. Robin has absolutely no intention of revealing more about herself than absolutely necessary, but she can't deny curiosity at the answers others may give.

It's a good idea, at least, even if really is born purely out of habit on Lois' part. ]

I have a notebook and some pencils you can borrow. I wrote on some of the pages, but you can use the rest if you want.

[It's not much, but it's all she can offer at the moment.]

[flakjackets]

Thank you. That would be extremely helpful. I'll try and use as little as possible so that I can give it all back to you once I've got my own.

Did you have someplace you wanted to meet so I could grab that from you?

[ She'll take anything offered and not dig too deep into people's reasonings right now. There's a part of her that's still not going to blindly trust everyone on board, but she couldn't start every connection off that way. She'd get nowhere quick. ]

[What.

Is there any place in the multiuniverse, known or unknown, that doesn't seem to contain reporters? Well, no harm in helping someone out, right?]

Hi there. I just arrived, so I'm not sure if I'm really what you're looking for, but I'm curious about the makeup of the ship, myself. I wouldn't mind a chat.

VIDEO

[flakjackets]

[ Nope. Not a place. They are both a blessing and a burden across the universes. ]

I'd love to get everyone's perspectives, not just those that have been here for a few months or longer. Just name a time and place that works for you and I'll be there.

[voice]

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

[The voice on the other end is loud and cheerful, as if nothing could possibly delight him more.]

You want to ask me questions? Of course, I'd be delighted!

[voice]

[flakjackets]

[ Well, that's some serious enthusiasm. Better than the alternative. ]

Perfect, did you want to do it like this or meet in person?

[vengeance_driven]

I can talk to you, but only for the purpose of having more information to call on.

[Niko's pretty nervous of reporters. He's been known to break cameras and yell on occasion. Not good with the media.]

[But this isn't the media, this is a ship where everyone basically knows everyone else.]

[flakjackets]

My findings -- [ for the most part ] -- will be public. If you're not comfortable with the idea of sharing and would rather wait for the published report, I won't be offended.

[ She's just gonna lay it out there right now with a bit of a firm tone. While she'd love to get as many people as possible on board, she'd have been foolish to think everyone would cooperate. ]

[ventifact]

what's your job here?

text.

[flakjackets]

My official title here is a Journalist although back home I was an Investigative Journalist for the Daily Planet.

[ Bit more flair than just the plain title, flair she'd earned. ]

[takeitslow]

Does it matter how long we've been on the ship? I figure you might want to talk to people who've been here a while instead of the new guys.

video;

[flakjackets]

No, I actually wouldn't mind speaking to some of the newer folks - different perspectives are helpful.

[destinysword]

[ There are a lot of weird things about this place, but the idea that people might be willing to divulge information about themselves to a perfect stranger to be disseminated to the whole ship? Wow. ]

And people are willing to do this?

video;

[flakjackets]

Yes. Although I understand the hesitation.

[ And considering not everyone is from her time or world, apparently. She's gonna allow for an adjustment period. ]

Video; private

[notyoursupergirl]

[What Lois doesn't know is that Kara had a 10 minute shit fit before composing herself, finding her Supergirl top and fixing her hair so that she doesn't actually look like a hot mess that's been screwing around on an abandoned prison ship all day. ]

Hey.

So.

Hey.

Please tell me you know who I am.

Video; private omg poor thing

[flakjackets]

[ The face is enough to give Lois the smallest of palpitations. There are some similar features to another she knows and yet not. She doesn't want to disappoint the girl, but she also doesn't want to lie. Her tone is gentle, forehead creasing as she softly frowns. ]

No, I'm sorry... But I'd like to. Did you want to meet?

[ Her instincts say this would be something handled better in person, but ultimately she'll leave it up to the other person. She's just gonna try to not jump to conclusions of her own and take a breath. ]

[wallcrawls]

you think you're going to find a common denominator?

[flakjackets]

That's the hope.
We can't have all been pulled here randomly.

[Voice]

[dragonspride]

How much do you need?

[He can sound more human on voice-only, at least, and as unsure as he is of this...he remembers efforts like this before he ended up on the Moira.]

[Voice]

[flakjackets]

Whatever you're willing to share, honestly. I'm more interested in quality than quantity right now.

[ The quantity would come with time, she hoped. ]

video

[sheriffing]

Collecting data?

[ It's something Emma has considered doing herself.]

I'll answer a few.

video

[flakjackets]

Perfect, thank you.

[ The more, the merrier honestly. ]

Did you want to meet in person, schedule a time for later, or would you prefer to run through them over this device?

[cookshisgoose]

[When you work for a secret government agency, the press isn't exactly a friend. Peggy's seen both the good and the harm that can come from their digging. The information Lois is asking for is honestly what she's been trying to gather herself. Learning about the others trapped here, hoping to find a common element that might explain why they were the ones chosen to be brought here? All things she's been trying to piece together. She isn't any closer to an answer than she was a month ago, but that didn't mean there wasn't an answer to be found.]

Will the information you gather be public? I'm willing to speak, but I'm also curious to learn what others have to say.

video;

[flakjackets]

Of course. Ultimately I'd like to compile my own database to try and find patterns in all of our backgrounds among other things.

[ And the more willing people were to share, the faster this might go. ]

I have no plan to hide any of this.

[diamondslap]

An organic journalist? Now, aren't you the rarity.

[she sounds interested, regardless.]

I have an experience or five I could share.

video

[flakjackets]

[ Well, that just might be some sarcasm right there. Although she's not going to let it bother her or dissuade her from her purpose. ]

That would be great. Would you prefer to meet in person or continue this over video?
