Mon-El has posed:
    The Legion Cruiser has been pretty quiet lately, with Lar having gone off to Shi'ar space to help push the Brood back. The last anyone had heard he'd been headed to Raken-4, where the worst of the worst was. As for the rest of the team, most of them were also off elsewhere, either helping on other fronts of the Brood invasion or on some other important mission. A newsfeed is on in the crew lounge, though.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers yawns a bit, rubbing her eyes as she gets up and wanders around. She should be out there somewhere, helping Lar. But instead she had a nasty episode involving her muscles freezing up again and decided to stay behind instead of getting in his way. Still she found herself thinking of him more abd more. "Quit worrying Kara, I'm sure he's okay.." she is drawn towards the newsfeed however, peering at it thoughtfully.

Mon-El has posed:
    "...unfortunately, Raken-4 was a total loss, but thanks to a bit of 'heroic' mercenary work, the Shi'ar managed to evacuate most of their people..."

    Despite how quiet it's been around here lately, Kara actually would find she's not alone. There is a certain Coluan sitting in a lounge chair in front of the feed, though he doesn't seem entirely focused on it, instead he seems to be tinkering with something. Since when had Brainiac been here? Lar had said he'd left the team a while ago. But maybe this was a recent development.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers takes a seat of her own, peering up at the screen with a frown, wo design what Lar is doing right now. But hey, she knows he can take care of himself too..Still, her mind wonders, "Dammit, I should be up there.." she sighs, glancing over at the tinkerer, smiling faintly, tiredly in greeting, peering thoughtfully at..Whatever he is tinkering. Hm, he looks somewhat familiar.."Brainiac..?"

Mon-El has posed:
    Brainy looks up at her as she addresses him. "Kara Zor-El." he greets, looking mildly surprised. "Didn't exactly expect to see you here, although I suppose I'm not terribly shocked. I know how Lar feels about you."

    He glances up at the holopanel, the feed showing some grim-looking images of the ravaged surface of Raken-4. "Oh? And why aren't you?" he questions.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers arches a brow at that, wondering who else knows. "Oh...Really? I mean...I only came here, mostly, to recover, so..It's not like..Just a social call or anything.." she shrugs and smiles nervously, glancing back at the screen. "Hmm, we'll, I've been wrestling with a..Condition of sorts lately, it's pretty complicated really." of course for a moment she forgets who she's talking to. "Okaay not that complicated, mostly just, you know...Well my body was infected by Nanites and I'm slowly losing control.."

Mon-El has posed:
    Now it's Querl's turn to arch a brow at Kara. "Nanites, huh?" Well he knows a thing or two about those. He gets up from his seat and starts running some kind of scanner over her. It's probably some form of 31st century tech. "Hmm, well of course you're losing control, they've infiltrated your nervous system and are relaying false signal impulses through your spinal cord."

    "Who did this to you anyway?"

    The newsfeed changes topics. "...in other news, we have reports that the displaced citizens of the planet Daxam, which was rendered uninhabitable in the wake of Krypton's destruction, have located a suitable colony planet in the Typhon System with plenty of space to rebuild."

    Brainy glances up briefly at that. "Heh. I suppose that's good."

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers nods. Of course. If anyone can help, he can. What a ,icky coincidence. "To be honest, I don't know, some guy in green and purple armour." she shrugs, "Still trying to figure out who it is but no luck yet..Can you help?" she pauses, peering up at the screen, "Huh, I suppose so.."

Mon-El has posed:
    "However, according to Queen Rhea Gand, they've run into some problems with the local terrain..."

    Brainiac practically snorts at her question. "You -do- know who you're talking to, right?" he asks dryly. Honestly, this was child's play to him. "I'll be right back." He heads off toward the lab.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers arches a brow at Brainiac and nods, returning to the news feed. "Huh? What's that?" she peers back at it more intently now. The Daxamites were never kind to Kryptonians but if they're in trouble..

Mon-El has posed:
    "...as well as some of the more aggressive fauna on the planet Aite..." Images and video of some pretty vicious looking beasts appear on the screen. It's hard to tell if they even have anything else on their faces other than giant maws and terribly sharp fangs. Oh and horns.

    A moment later, Querl returns with a hypodermic syringe full of some kind of concoction and another cylindrical-shaped device. "Give me your arm." he says.

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers blinks, sitting up straight, "Wait what? But, I'm sure they can handle those, right?" they look pretty ugly though..But Daxamites are as strong as kryptonians in the right sun conditions. She glances at Brainiac and nods distractedly, holding out her arm. "Hmm, do you know where this Typhon system is?"

Mon-El has posed:
    "Hmm." Brainy shrugs, taking her arm and beginning to prepare the syringe. "Don't know enough about whatever they are to say for sure, would have to study tissue sections at least."

    A high-intensity but narrow beam of red solar radiation comes out of one end of the device he had with him, and he holds it close to her skin near the inner part of her elbow. "This might sting." he warns, just before he injects the contents of the syringe into her arm. "Micro EM pulse emitter directed to hone in on the metal alloy they're made of and take them out cluster by cluster. They should pass harmlessly through your system once they're disabled." Pulling the syringe out, he replaces it with medi-gel to close up the wound quickly.

    There's a pause as she asks about Typhon. "Typhon system...Sector 3561, Phoenix Massing. Aite is 5th from the blue giant." Another pause. "Itching to get out there, huh? Tell you what, why don't you take one of our shuttles. I'll even plot a course there for you." Does he really want to get rid of her that badly?

Supergirl has posed:
Kara Danvers blinks at the sting, but he seems to know what he's doing. "Thanks, I think? Is it really that simple a cure? Well I guess I'll know soon enough." she smirks, "Really? You're sure being helpful but how can I say no to that?" glancing up at the screen again, she frowns at the ugly looking creatures. Well powers or not, the Daxamites might still have a problem with those uglies. "Right, on my way..Thanks again, Brainiac." she smiles and nods to him before hurrying off to the shuttle bay..

Mon-El has posed:
    "Pff, you wound me." Brainy says dismissively when she questions how it can be so simple. It's like people know how genius he is but at the same time they don't. As she hurries off, he picks up a datapad and taps on it a few times. "Right...course plotted."

    "Good luck, Supergirl."
