Brainiac 5	About an hour or so after his departure on a quest for time period suitable clothing, money, supplies, and a lead on a place to live, Brainiac 5 flies back into the makeshift cave that the Legion has adopted since their recent arrival in the 21st century. His purple science uniform is wet and covered in what appears to be garbage and slime, and he is bleeding a fairly decent amount from his mouth.     "I have encountered difficulty." he states, matter of factly, as he locates Chuck within the cave.
Chuck Taine	Chuck Taine is bent over a small fire he'd started. "I wish we had Dirk here to build a proper fire... What the nass, Querl!?" He goes over to a meager pile of survival gear and grabs a med pack. "Who busted you up, Brainy? I'll fix you up, and we can hunt them down, and I can play bog brother for you. I feel responsible, these being my ancestors." He pulls a scanner and seeks sign of concussion. Wow a headache with a mind that size. Why, it's like Chuck with a stomach ache.
Brainiac 5	At first, Brainiac 5 seems puzzled. Then he remembers that he is bleeding. "Oh. This is not the difficulty. Merely some primitive ruffians who I believe were hoping that I had some valuable scientific equipment given my status as a member of the science elite." He waves to indicate his uniform.     "I know that we had Saturn Girl block our memories of the 20th and 21st century to avoid any conflicts. But I think perhaps we should have included some exemptions. Such as the knowledge that there is a Naltorian on Earth in this time period." He pauses. "Who may or not be an ancestor of Nura Nal."
Chuck Taine	Chuck Taine gives Brainy's lip a touch of the protoplaser. All better. "It was probably the way you pretty much scream 'tourist.' Nonetheless, let's find these guys for the Sci Po-Po. First tell me more about this Naltorian. I didn't think aliens frequented Earth in this age." He replaces the instruments in the med pack. a"Also maybe you could change because... Nass!"
Brainiac 5	"I was not screaming anything. I was just walking quietly and keeping to myself in search of currency and lodgings." Brainiac 5 considers for a moment. "She seemed oddly interested in me as I think back to it. We had a brief conversation in which she suggested she lost something. Then she expressed curiosity about my attire and our home. I detached from conversation to avoid disclosing too much. Then I encountered the ruffians, and after one punched me in the face she displayed an array of powers and subdued the rest of them. She said she is not a prominent hero of the era - she did not have a particular impressive costume, I observed. When she introduced herself as Dreamer and said her real name was Nia Nal, I may have reacted in such a way to arouse suspicion, and so I flew away."
Chuck Taine	Chuck Taine frowns. "How many is an array? Like six? Well as long as you're okay. Maybe we can get help from off worlders. Current technology here is early nowhere. Tube-sisters. Infernal combustion engines. Digital watches. Hmmm so I guess no money, clothes etc. was found. Maybe I can do better, being... Terran." He pulls an ordinary gold ring off. "Gold is still valuable in this time. I can sell this, and maybe scare up more money... competing in some parlor games." Chuck pulls a small thick disk out of his belt. He presses a stud and it elongates into a cue stick.
Brainiac 5	"An array can be any number greater than three," replies Brainiac 5. "In this case, it was six." "Do not sell off your possessions. I am confident that we can obtain the currency required. I shall simply have to be more strategic about the route I take." Brainiac 5 watches the cue stick appear. "We should engage in any unsavory activity." Looking out of the mouth of the cave, Brainiac 5 continues. "We know there are heroes here. I found one. We can see if they can help." He pauses. "But I will have to find a different one. I would not want to deviate the path of the Nalturian, if indeed she is part of the same line as Nura Nal." He pauses. "If we cause a disruption to Nura's history and Dream Girl does not join the Legion..." He looks at Chuck very seriously. "You know who would have been slain were it not for Nura's precognition. Not just me."
Chuck Taine	Chuck Taine inspects his cue stick. "Brainiac Five, I will introduce you to an ancient Earth saying, 'You can't cheat an honest man.' I can use the ring for collateral. Believe me, I will not lose it. I will not make anyone lose more than they can afford. But we need basic funds right now. We need to set you up with necessary equipment. Aaaaand, I kind of hustled pool to pay for school expenses. Omnicoms don't come cheap." "First thing we get is a change of clothes though... for you. That Science Elite outfit needs decontamination. I mean wow!"
Brainiac 5	A frown crosses Brainiac 5's face and he nods. "Agreed. I cannot go back out like this." Hisfter a brief consideration, he nods in agreement. "You find us some new attire. I will continue to l ponder what our next course of action should be on our quest." He pauses. "I hope that I have not disrupted things enough. And that this Nia Nal does not possess the ability to figure out too much about us in her dreams."
