[Look who is back in town. Your friendly neighborhood blue woman. She offers a wide smile when she does so. Isn't that polite of her. Even waves.]

Hello all. I have returned from the Not Temba and brought some things for those who are interested. But along the way I discovered something distressing. Is it true that the ships have locked us out? This is distressing.

Ah, but that wasn't what I had come to say.

[The camera turns away from her and instead turns to take in an open part of the first floor of the civics center. She'd been doing her best to expand her whole gym area and now she had an idea.]

This is a nice, load bearing wall, and it has occurred to me nothing happens here. But when I was in the other city-town I saw that their space that isn't too unlike this one had many things clearly designed for climbing. It struck me that this might be a fun activity to work on strength.

Of course my question is how I would execute such a thing here. Does anyone have ideas?

[She is excited about the idea of a climbing wall. But given she'd never seen one before, she doesn't even know how to explain her desire properly.]

[Lauri-Ell leans in to watch him work. It's interesting.]

I have never gone climbing on a rock face. We use jet packs. It is more efficiient.

Yeah, people don't really do it for transport, they do it for fun.

[For fun, huh?]

Like dancing? And Cooking? This is one of those 'hobby' things?

Yeah, exactly. And it's good exercise.

I have many good exercises. I just hope I can learn this one.

I think you'll be a natural, you have great upper body strength.

Yes, this planet does not have high gravity so my strength is worth more here.

You're worth a lot in general. You're cool.

[Ah, that's an interesting thought there. She smiles at him.]

You are very kind, Kyle.

Nah, it's just true.

So! This is just what you wanted, something fun that builds strength. Yeah?

Yeah!

[She smiles and pulls the paper closer. Now how does she do this?]

It will be a good project.

If I can do anything to help, I will. I haven't really built much, though. Except a ladder to heaven once.

What is heaven?

It's an afterlife people believe in. When I was little we figured it was in the clouds.

Wait. You built a ladder to cloud level? That is very impressive.

Yeah, me and my friends. Not to heaven, but we got up really high.

[She's really intrigued.]

HOw did you compensate for lower atmospheric pressure, temperature, and oxygen levels?

We didn't. Not really sure how we didn't die. Maybe I'm just remembering it wrong.

...

[Kyle, you have her VERY worried. And Very confused.]

How were you not injured!?

I dunno! Looking back I probably should have, yeah.

It seems you are very durable. Perhaps you are more than human.

I'm really not.

Are you certain? For if you have survived something like that, it seems likely.

100% certain.

That is... something that leaves me uncertain. But I cannot argue.

[Though she looks very concerned. He may have just acquired a protector.]
