[ admittedly, being stuck in a strange alternate universe isn't exactly new to scott. it isn't common, but this isn't his first rodeo. that doesn't make the experience any less jarring, but it at least means he's immediately aware of what his priorities should be.
for a while, he grapples with the idea of transmitting a message, trying to weigh the pros and cons. he's not exactly a popular figure back home, and he's not sure how much of that might have carried over here. it may be an entirely different world, but the presence of other imports means his past mistakes may still haunt him. still, in the end he figures it's a calculated risk he needs to take.
at this point, even a hostile face would be welcome, as long as its familiar. ]
Hello, everyone. My name is Scott Summers... some of you may have heard of me, though most of you probably haven't. I think I understand the situation here well enough, and I'm willing to play ball.
[ ...to a degree. he's never been very comfortable with he idea of hero registration, and being abducted to another world doesn't exactly make him more amenable to the idea. still, no reason to rock the boat just yet. ]
I would appreciate some more information, though. Numbers, resources, assets... what kind of threat we're up against. Anything would be appreciated. If there's anything I hate, it's fighting blind.
And... "Youth Leadership Director"? That's got to be a joke, right?

I can provide you with some data, if you wish.
Though I suggest you be more specific.

[That is totally Emma in your head, Scott. Just like old times. Hard to say what she's feeling, though, since the primary emotion attached to the thought is a mixture of shock and surprise.]

Is that a downgrade from your last held position? You should really talk to someone about that.

You're going to hate fighting here.

[oh wait. maybe want to reign it in a little, since she's a professional and all.]
Um, I mean. I guess whoever's in charge here decided they like the X-Men all of a sudden.
I only got here about a week ago so there's not much to tell you, but I haven't seen anything shifty happening, at least. Besides, like, the obvious, anyway. And I've got a house here with David--I mean, Prodigy.
video
[ there are more mutants than he expected to see. he's not exactly sure whether that's a good or bad thing, but he's still a little glad to see her. ]
And Prodigy too... I guess it's nice to know there are a few familiar faces around. [ a pause. ] Then you've settled in alright? No problems?

but pixie's already mentioned he's here. that'll make it harder. sure, he could still keep his distance, but he decides his hand is forced and acts like it's her fault. ]
If their sense of humor was in question before, it's definitely confirmed now. Just a shame Wolverine isn't here, his overreaction would go viral overnight.
As for the threat, it depends on who you ask. Maybe it's our guys, maybe the Russians, but most likely that machine you just walked out of.
video.
Seeing his reaction would almost make having to deal with Logan worth it. Not quite, though.
[ at least not for him. ]
So danger on all sides. Can't say I'm surprised. [ nothing new about that. ] How have you been?

Hawkeye... you did look familiar. [ a lot was going on at the time, but he's good with remembering faces. ] The circumstances are a bit strange, but it's nice to meet you, Kate. I'm doing pretty well, all things considered.

[That was terrible. And yet he honestly does not know what you say to, you know, this guy. Especially after the whole Avengers and X-Men duel to the death thing that went down? Yeah.]
I wouldn't hold out for a sense of humor from...whoever, any time soon. But you can always quit and walk away from the job, at least.
video;
[ although scott still manages to do okay every so often when someone manages to knock off his glasses. but yes... that whole "phoenix made me go crazy" thing does tend to make dinner parties awkward. ]
Really? That's good to know. I figure I'll at least give it a try though. Should look good on a resume. [ next to "almost razed the entire world." ]
