[ When the feed starts, there's obviously some fiddling going on--mostly it's just different shades of blue on the screen. The person handling the tablet doesn't seem to really know how to make heads or tails of it. A soft 'snowballs' is uttered, as if it were a curse.

Katara's face eventually enters the frame--upside down, until she realizes her mistake and flips it so she's correctly centered and displayed. The fountain is behind her, and the running water burbles gently in the background. ]

Hello! I'm Katara. I've met a lot of new people since I came here, but I know there are others that I haven't met yet, and the Vision explained that I could talk to people with this piece of glass, so I thought I'd do that and introduce myself.

[ She glances away for a second, considering what to say. ]

I'm from the Southern Water Tribe, which is at the South Pole. I left home about a year ago, and have been traveling the world since then with my brother and our friends. This is us together. [Here she holds up a crayon drawing of herself and her friends on a six-legged creature. She's obviously very proud. ]



That's Aang and my brother Sokka, then me and Toph and Suki and Zuko. Appa is the sky bison, and the flying lemur is Momo.

I'm a master waterbender, which means I can use my chi to control water. Like this! [ With a quick set of hand gestures, Katara pulls a little jet of water from the fountain and streams it around for a bit before putting it back. ] I can also use my bending to heal injuries! So if you get hurt, let me help you.

That's all I can think of for now. Bye!

[ It's another few moments of fumbling, but Katara finally manages to turn the feed off. ]

I'm not the best healer in the world but my power has saved us a few times, especially when we fought Azula.

[ He doesn't know what that means, of course. ]

She can shoot lightning bolts from her fingers.

Sounds like you come from a real interesting place.

Is it on Earth? Have you heard of Earth?

[ Here, he has to ask. ]

[waterwhip]

I'd never even heard of any world apart from Earth before I came here. I've been all over the world, from the South Pole where I live up to where our sister tribe lives at the North Pole. I've been through the Earth Kingdom, and even into the Fire Nation.

[ That's totally the Earth you're thinking of, right, Bones? ]

[thatsjusttypical]

I've never heard of the Earth Kingdom or the Fire Nation. People have been to the North and South Poles, but people don't generally live there.

You must be from a different version of Earth.

[waterwhip]

Probably! I know there are other people here from Earth but they look different from anyone I'd ever met before, and they've never heard of bending either. I was surprised because everyone knows about bending where I'm from, even if they can't do it themselves.

What's your version of Earth like? What's your name? What kind of doctor are you?

[thatsjusttypical]

Never heard of bending. On my Earth, nobody has any healing powers, or the ability to manipulate the elements. We do travel in space though and have made contact with many alien species.

Leonard McCoy. I'm the Chief Medical Officer on the Enterprise, so I'm basically a general physician and surgeon.
