[ The technology, all in all, isn't too hard to grasp. It's more the fact that there's no real way off the ship (no concrete information as to how the passengers arrived, no explanation as to the contents of the lockers), not to mention the circumstances under which he had arrived, that leave Connors ill at ease. The phenomenon, however, is not one that he seems to be alone in, and when the video feed turns on, he seems much more put-together (and healthier, too) than he'd been when he'd arrived, glasses in place upon the bridge of his nose and the stump of his arm barely visible at the bottom edge of the screen. ]

Apologies, first of all, if the question is redundant, [ he begins, with a slight duck of his head, ] but considering the range of worlds from which we hail, I was curious as to how many passengers are not classified as human or are possessed of "supernatural" capabilities. I'd like to do a little research, if at all possible.

[ He opens his mouth as if to continue on, but seems to think better of it. The transmission is awkwardly short, as is, but he doesn't have much else to say that's strictly relevant (that won't sound too much like covering up). ]

Thank you for your time. Dr. Curtis Connors, at your service.

I've no application in mind, though I assume some might think that would render the work useless. I had unfinished business, back home, that I'd like to see through to at least some extent.

It doesn't seem useless if you want to see what kind of people are on board. [ it's kind of useful knowing who you're dealing with, truth be told. she's kind of interested in his work, though. it sounds like he's from a world where the things that go bump literally do go bump. ] Were you tallying up everyone who could move things with their mind and stuff back home?

We actually didn't have anything like that, [ he confesses, with a sort of sheepishness. ] There was — there was a spider-human, but that was a singular incident. Otherwise, my version of Earth was somewhat unremarkable. [ The Lizard, he figures, is a story for another time. ]

Spider-human? [ she's going to focus on that, since those are a new supernatural species to her. but it's good that he's been exposed to something unusual. ... she's still trying to imagine what this spider-human would look like. ] Like - did this person look like a spider? Because that's really freaky.
