[Despite all of the incredible and sometimes unbelievable things that Wanda’s seen and experienced in her life, nothing quite prepares her for her arrival on the Tranquility. It isn’t even the fact that she’s unexpectedly woken up on a spaceship that throws her off-balance (though it's quite unexpected), or even the fact that time and space and reality seem to work differently there (because really she's sort of used to that). It's that Pietro isn’t there during a decidedly difficult point in her life (after-life?) that impacts her the most. She can’t remember a time they've ever been parted in such a way, and the feeling is extremely unsettling.
Taking a deep breath, she sets her communication device to broadcast her message in video. She's dressed in her Ultimates uniform, though only the top of the red leather shows on screen. By all appearances seems to be in her early to mid-twenties, with an unusual amount of confident and poise evident in her body language.]
Good evening, my name is Wanda Maximoff and I'm another of the recent arrivals.
[Of course, it's not her real last name, but both she and Pietro adopted it after breaking ties with their father, and it was far easier to go through life not reminding people that they were the children of the infamous Magneto.]
I'm looking for any information regarding my brother, Pietro. It seems that he did not arrive with me, but considering the nature of where we are and shifting realities, any news as to whether he was here in the past would be appreciated.
[She shouldn't really need to add that if he arrives in the future she'd also like to know, right? Surely everyone here has some common sense regarding such matters. From all of the FAQ's she's read recently, they seem more on top of matters than she might have expected of most people. Wanda pauses, and after a moment continues.]
Also, has anyone managed to determine how many different dimensions and points in time we represent on board? Which worlds are similar and which ones are clearly separate, for instance?
[She's curious, not just because of her own dealings with altering reality, but because she's hoping that someone will be able to give her a basic idea of who she's dealing with on board and perhaps even which ones are from worlds similar to her own. Mentioning mutants or any groups by name would draw attention she's not sure she wants yet. Not until she knows who's listening on the other end.]

[Honestly, he really did, but--]
Around here, though, it's better to at least know who you might count on. This place throws enough at us that it's necessary.

Not really. I don't trust Mystique not to betray me over the next pretty face that walks her way, and Charles...
[He shrugs, looking down, because that one bothers him more.]
...I just don't see him around much.
But I have other allies--they might not be mutants, but they count.

Some things don't change, no matter what world you're from, it seems.
[Wanda cants her head to the other side.]
Who do you count as your allies, if I might ask?

[It sounds strange, but really, despite all the variants that seem to be possible in alternative universes....some things seem consistent with every one of them.]
...people.
[He quirks an eyebrow.]
Rather not do another name dump on you until we've met in person, maybe.
[Because while he has heard a lot about you, he isn't sure you're entirely trustworthy yet.]

I can respect that. I'm going to be heading out in a moment, but perhaps another day if you'd like.
[They can probably talk in more detail in person. She'd open herself up to being questioned if nothing else than because his questions would reveal something of his own priorities and interests in the process.]

[He shrugs.]
Feel free to drop by.
[Meaning he's going to give her her space, and let her come to him.]

[Especially since he's being polite enough to let her choose to contact him when she pleases.]
Until then, my thanks for your information and the welcome.

Place like this...people like us got to try to help out.
See you later, Wanda.
[And he turns the device off.]
