I was able to make contact with Warrior Leixi Kalain. She led the battle to protect Queen Lloria during the uprising. The High Queens of Hhial had once been warrior queens with dragon companions for protectors, but by the time of the uprising, their numbers had greatly diminished.

Their advisors turned against them. There was something called "The Fever," presumably a grave illness but I can’t say for sure, and there was a divide between the people who had powers and those who didn’t. The advisors used these things to gather support against them.

Warrior Leixi urged High Queen Lloria to flee, and the queen's daughter Zehin escaped on High Queen Lloria’s dragon. Warrior Leixi believes they fled west to the island where their dragons built their nests. She didn’t know where it was though, she and her dragon partner fell protecting them. [He pauses for a moment to honor Warrior Leixi’s sacrifice before continuing with the rest of what he’d learned.]

High Queen Lloria took with her something called Zefira’s Gem, an object of great power that had been passed from one high queen to the next since High Queen Zefira first unified the continent.

If that sounds like the Orb to you, then we’re on the same page. I can’t say if it’s still on that island, but from what I can see, finding that island is our best bet, and we should be prepared for the possibility of encountering dragons when we do.

[Another pause and then—] The dragons that fought beside the Kalain queens were loyal and noble. They weren’t mindless creatures. If you do meet one, please don’t attack them. Speak to them as you would speak to each other. They've done noting to deserve anything less.

I'm new here, but I'm guessing you've come across dragons before? [ A beat. ] I also wouldn't plan on attacking them either because I don't fancy my chances.

Wow! That's so interesting to know. Dragons only exist in stories where I'm from.

[ Her interest and enthusiasm is genuine, given how normal her own world was. Well, it did have shadowy organisations and metahumans, but no dragons. ]

I'm Laurel Lance. Funny how our names are both alliterations. [ She's amused. ] Anyway. It's nice to meet you.

You can just call me Laurel. Unless you prefer to be more formal, which is totally okay. I'm not always used to being called Miss.

[Unless she was in a restaurant or a fancy gala supporting the mayor of the city she worked in.]

Thanks for offering to help me because I do have questions. And I can figure out the technology later. [Can't be any more complicated than the computers and cellphones she was used to back home, right?]

Do you know how many people are here with us?

Oh. Okay. I somehow had it in my mind that there were more, but that's good to know. I'll also ask Miss Viveca about it later - thanks for the information.

[Laurel makes a mental note to put the question or any others she had to Miss Viveca, instead of bombarding others. Even when she would prefer to hear it from people who have been here a while and have first hand experience.]

That aside, are you okay with me asking questions about you? Nothing invasive, promise. You can absolutely ask me questions in return.

Great. Glad to hear it.

[Mission stuff aside, she thinks it would be worth her time getting to know other people on the ship. Make some connections.]

I'm from a country called America. Specifically, Star City. Lived there my whole life and haven't travelled very far outside of it. Except for now, I guess.

Have you heard of any of those places?

sorry for the delay

New York is somewhere I've always wanted to visit, but maybe I can, when I'm done here. Sorry that your friend went home. [She adds, sounding sympathetic.] But it's cool that you got to see a simulation of it.

It's in the state of Washington, if it helps. Northwest of the country.

Where do you come from?
