"Hi, you've reached Star-Lord. I'm probably off saving the universe right now. If it's an emergency, keep trying and I'll get back to you when I'm done rescuing the galaxy and not dying horribly. Otherwise, leave a message and I'll get to it.........when I get to it."

[Incredulously:] Katie? [Man, that woman is a lot of things, but she never struck him as a Katie. Besides the point of course.]

But... yeah, Kate for sure, and you can trust Steph. You can trust Collette too, but unless you know something I don't, the wheelchair thing will probably get in the way. [He's silent for a moment, thinking.] Sango, Helena, Nathan and Blue are all good people, but Sango's from Feudal Japan so the technology barrier probably counts her out. [Little does he know that two out of the three can already go into space!] Billy'd be a good choice too. If you trust my word for this sort of thing, I mean.

[He's met a lot of people here. It's weird, thinking that after all these months, he's got a sparse eight people on his list.]

[getoffmyearth]

I mean, I know ways to get around the chair, we got Jack Flag up and walking again, but...it'd require finding some resources I'm not sure I could get my hands on all that easily. [For a second, he'd forgotten that he can't just poof back to Knowhere and get whatever he needs.] I don't know any of those names. Fill me in?

[khajidont]

[As he speaks, his voice gains a cadence meaning that he's listing them off on his fingers.] The ones you don't know? I met Sango the first month I got here, and she's been great on pretty much every mission I've done with her. I can vouch for her. Nathan's got more field experience than I can imagine, and I'm in his spec-ops group. Blue's really smart, and he's been helping me with understanding the whole clone thing that went down back on Earth, and I think he's been busy looking into when the UE's AI was put into place. Billy only actually knows me when I'm not doing the Beetle thing, but... anyway, he's always been really steady; he's been working as an engineer on the power generators since we got here. Helena...

[What can he say about Helena? The Huntress thing is a secret, isn't it?]

She's helped me a lot. With a lot of things. She's pretty - [prickly] - private, though, so if you want her on the list, I'd rather talk to her first. That about cover it?

[getoffmyearth]

[It would help if Peter were faster on the name uptake to realize-]

You mean Nathan Summers, right? Not some other guy?

[WHATSHISFACE MUTANT GUY. Peter can remember names. He can. It just may take him a few seconds half the time.]

I don't know any of the rest. But I'm willing to at least try them out and see how it all works and go from there, if you think it's a good idea. Tell the truth, I'm too new to know, so I'm just gonna trust your judgment on this one, ok?

[BIG RESPONSIBILITY HERE JAIME. Can you handle it.]

[khajidont]

That's him.

[Oh boy. He really hopes everyone he listed will actually be trustworthy and that he won't find himself getting yelled at later.

He wanted to be a dentist when he grew up. All he was supposed to be responsible for was cavities, not helping send people through astronaut Star-Lord training!]

Sure. How many suits did you guys end up getting again?

[getoffmyearth]

[SHH JAIME SHHH IF ANYBODY WOULD KNOW THAT MISTAKES HAPPEN IT'S PETE.]

Seven. On top of the people we already know can go out there, that gives us a pretty decent force on which to draw from at any time, if something happens.

[khajidont]

Nice. You want me to contact 'em, or what?

Well, everyone except Kate. I got a feeling she's gonna be talking to you soon anyway.

[getoffmyearth]

They're mostly your people. You can sound 'em out and anyone who sounds interested, you can send them my way and we'll start working things out.

I'll talk to Kate.
