[ The audio function on this is remarkably similar to her show, with just a more limited audience. But this is Trish's element. This is where she shines. ]

Those of you who didn't have powers before coming here -- is it something that you dreamed of back home? Did... [ She pauses to find the right word. ] ..."gifted" people exist where you're from? I always tried to convince my best friend that she should put on a costume and save others. I guess I was trying to live vicariously through her that way.

There's something that happened. We call it "The Incident" because, well... "The Day Aliens Poured Out of the Sky" is a bit of a mouthful. A good portion of New York was destroyed and a lot of lives were lost, but it could have been worse. Unimaginably worse. But there were people who stepped in. Stepped up.

Do you think those who have the power should use it for the betterment of society? Share your thoughts.

People didn't have these kinds of powers where I'm from.

I don't know if they should. I've helped a few people. But there's the question of who decides what makes society better. Different imports might have different ideas about that. And if there's any damage done by an import, even if it's to help someone - we all get blamed.

That's a growing question back home: who shoulders the cost of the "heroes" and their work?

What were your first thoughts when you arrived? Essentially thrown in the thick of all this.

I was really overwhelmed, maybe even in shock, when I first got here. They brought me back from the dead. It's a hard thing to believe. I don't think the having powers thing really sunk in until later.
