You step off of the shuttles into one of the bustling, heavily-guarded docks buried deep within the rock of an asteroid. Everyone seems too wrapped up in their own business to pay much mind to the group pouring out with you, and the mechanical sounds of takeoff, landing, and regular maintenance fill the air with clinks and whirs. As you begin to explore the colony, you find dingy and worn streets filled with a ruckus that's easy to get lost in: pushy merchants, booming, scratchy voices coming from inebriated patrons, and the scurrying footsteps of opportunistic thieves darting through the crowds. The colony no longer seems to profit off its mines, but this waystation for undesirables does have a taste for myriad forms of entertainment.

You know, I really preferred the time when you thought that I had superpowers that weren't flying just because I was your older brother.

[ He rolled his eyes. ]

If the worst comes to the worst, at least we know that all we have to do is lop off his head and he won't come back. Now I don't know about you, but it seems like maybe we should remind Adam some time that both of us happen to know that little detail, and we're happy to circulate said information, now, aren't we?

And here I thought you didn't like it when I compared you to Superman.

[ Have a cheeky grin, Nathan. You totally asked for that one. But it dissipates quickly enough. ]

I've already threatened to tell everyone about him- i'm not sure if I made it clear that I could tell that particular detail. Means i'd be telling everyone about me too but I think I could make that sacrifice as long as people knew how to get rid of him. [ Because that would mean that Peter wouldn't have to make that crucial decision; someone else could do it. ] Still don't know if that'd get him to lay off the sword. I helped him get it back, once. Means a lot.
