Who| Agent Carolina & Agent North, Agent Connecticut, Theta, and open to others
What| Arrival/recovery/training
Where| The medbay, and then the training rooms.
When| After “The Reject Pile” and “An Eye for an Eye”

[ CLOSED TO THETA AND NORTH ]
It had been a hell of an arrival. She’d just wanted a moment to catch her breath, to gather her strength so they could get the hell out of that hell hole of a base, only she didn’t have the chance. She’d arrived with warnings flashing on her HUD, unable to really comprehend what was knocking her out before she was knocked out.
And then, waking up in this medical ward. They’d at least answered her questions as soon as she started demanding answers. Shvaughn is quick to appear, to explain what’s going on. Carolina might be dehydrated and hurting, but she takes advantage of someone willingly answering questions to keep asking them.
And when she’s done, and rests, the next time she wakes up, Brande is there. Even though she’s not done recuperating, she’s quick to agree to become a Legionnaire. Even with everything going back home - but Shvaughn had assured her they wouldn’t be in danger.
Which is what leads to this - her having the ring nearby her hospital bed, turning over the omnicom in her hand. She’s still relegated to bed rest, and she thinks she’ll catch up on any information she can get a hold of, while she’s figuring out what the hell kind of outfit she’s going to have.
Unbeknownst to her, though, agreeing means she’s registered - means she pops up in a scannable database.
[ CLOSED TO CONNIE ]
Carolina’s been in the recovery wing for another day when they bring someone else new in. She’s looking at the omnicom when they bring her in, and so she misses it at first, until she hears the voice of a nurse checking her over. It’s the name that catches her.
That drags her gaze away, locking on the other hospital bed. That’s someone she didn’t quite realize was here, the literal definition of seeing is believing.
“CT?”
[ HOSPITAL (OPEN) ]
Carolina will be in the hospital for a few days, from her arrival to her release. She’ll easily accept visitors… no matter who they are, or why they’re coming by.
[ TRAINING GYM (OPEN) ]
She knows she’s developed powers - discovered the use of some of them in the hospital. Accidentally phasing through her bed had been one of them, and they’d been lucky she hadn’t ended up with a metal wheel through her body before she phased back.
She’s been having training lessons, but even though she was stuck for days on end in her own armor - she’s not going to take it easy. Even though she’s only cleared for light duty and training, here she is in the training gym.
She might be spending some time kicking and boxing a punching bag - but she’s also stopping to test out her new powers. She’ll move forward to move through the punching bag, or give it a hard hit and then brace herself against it coming back, seemingly becoming as hard as rock given that it bounces back without her giving an inch.

"I'll do better next time," is what she settles on, the quiet stretching between them. Actually, it's kind of awkward - a good kind of awkward, like when you've bared a raw nerve - but god, does she not like it.
"So... they said there's no meat on this station."
Look - the way Carolina grew up, she was a slow cooker, a smoker, someone who loves meat. Apparently everyone here is a vegetarian, and Grif is the one she trusts to tell her if there's really no meat.
no subject
Feelings about other people? Difficult. Feelings about meat? Meat is a sacred human tradition that has been completely destroyed by the tree-hugging hippie space future, and Grif will not stand for it.
...Except for the part where he's part of a galactic superhero police force who has to uphold all the rules. Eugh.
There is still an intensity in his posture that was not here a minute ago.

She is pretty vehemently agreeing with this. Look, the least the universe could give her is a steak after everything she's been through, she feels. But no, she gets no steak or even a hamburger.
She gives a heavy sigh and leans her head back, staring at the ceiling.
"I just wanted like... a burger, Grif. I was stuck in a basement for eight days, they could have bent the rule for that."
no subject
"Look, nobody's got that right, but you get out of here? I know where to find an okay pizza."
Maybe things were different before, but after all Grif's seen? He can't do any less for a friend who's been through that shit.
no subject
And maybe that's different between them. Carolina needs constant motion. She used to need a purpose, but she's a little more okay with not having one of those - even if inevitably she ends up creating one for herself, whether it's singing terribly or trying to learn how to relax.
