[ Donna doesn't opt into the video function when she starts up the communicator, an interesting little piece the soldiers on base handed over to her. Some people back home might have liked to get their hands on it for curiosity's sake.

Her inflection runs a little dry, events of the past couple of days and trying to get her bearings weighing upon her shoulders. To arrive in a world that's officially on a Doomsday Clock isn't the welcome party she wanted. ]

I'm trying to get this straight: one of the Moirai is on her way to potentially devour this world, but in the meantime one of her other sisters is going to keep bringing us in and the soldiers on base are kind of raising their arms up in defeat over it. That's thrilling.

[ Her tongue clicks before she adds: ]

Alright, so who jump started the apocalypse?

Where I'm from people with special abilities exist, like here. Those myths? It's not unlikely they aren't real.

[detectivedwloki]

People have no magical, comic-book superpowers where I'm from. This is all still a learning experience for me.

[photografist]

What, no folks in spandex running around?

[detectivedwloki]

Only on Halloween.

[photografist]

You know, it's kind of weird to imagine a world without Wonder Woman or Superman.

[detectivedwloki]

Are you saying they really exist in your world?

[photografist]

Yep.

[ If only he could see her grin. ]

Cape, lasso, the whole thing.

[detectivedwloki]

Seems Batman and Spider-Man exist here.

[photografist]

Spider-Man? Any relation to the church in Jeopardy?

[detectivedwloki]

Possibly. It should be looked into.

[photografist]

[ Oh, he's serious. ]

What makes you suspicious?

[detectivedwloki]

Anything could be important. The connection to spiders.

It may be nothing, but if we don't investigate every possible lead then that might be the one thing that will solve it.

[photografist]

Do you think this Spider-Man is dangerous?

[detectivedwloki]

With so many powers around here, anyone could be dangerous.

[photografist]

That's a half glass empty way of looking at it.

[detectivedwloki]

It's part of my job description to keep watch on all the possibilities. Good or bad.

[photografist]

[ He reminds her of Dick a little for that comment, so her tone is fond when she responds. ]

And how much bad filters through instead?

[detectivedwloki]

Far too much.

[He sounds world weary, as if he's really seen too much human evil in his life.]

[photografist]

Maybe sometimes taking a step back helps.

[detectivedwloki]

Now you sound like my boss.

[photografist]

Sounds like your boss is onto something.

[ A soft noise of amusement. ]

I'm just saying sometimes when you step back you can look at things from a new perspective.

[detectivedwloki]

Yeah, I get that. I do, when we're not so time constrained.

[photografist]

[ Donna is quiet for a moment. ]

The full moon is fast approaching.

[detectivedwloki]

You're expecting werewolves next?

Or just people going crazy under the moon.

[photografist]

That prophecy going on says it will happen the night of the full moon.

[ A quiet "hmm" follows. ]

I've ready a bit about what full moons symbolize in the past.
