There is another newcomer to the Nexus who is hanging out on a patch of grass at the park sitting cross-legged with a laptop resting in his lap. And buzzing high above Marcus is a helicopter drone, and if one were to peer over his lap, they would see he is trying to capture an image of a small nest with the camera attachment of the drone.

Sure, he figures he ought to ask questions of where he is, but Marcus isn't the freaking out sort when it comes for his love of sci-fi portals. "A'right..." He stops flying the drone, and he leaves it to whir over the nest of fire lizards. "I got a question to ask. What is your favorite hobby?" It is a simple question, and one he thinks will get many answers. He looks excited from the look on his face.

Oh boy, oh boy. He has a way back home, and he cannot wait to tell Wrench and Josh about this place. "This place is so awesome..." He squeals under his breath. "An inter-dimensional portal to another universe is my wet dream of wet dreams. Hahaha. Wrench eat your mask."

The woman playing fetch in the park doesn't look out of the ordinary, but the animals she's playing fetch with might catch Marcus's attention. One of them looks like a dog crossed with a tiger, and is the most enthusiastic about running after the ball she's tossing.Another looks like a little dinosaur and moves more slowly.

The third creature, a bird, makes no pretense of playing games. It perches protectively close to the woman and stares alertly at everything around it.

Overhearing his question, Adia tosses the ball once more before replying, "Reading, I guess... does that count as a hobby?" She looks from his laptop to the drone flying overhead. "Is that yours?"

With the bulk of the cleanup done and the remaining Augments handled in one way or another, Jim has been gone for the last couple of days taking a much needed rest. Probably on his Chief Medical Officer's orders, because Jim Kirk is not a man who 'rests' very well at all.

He's in uniform today in the Nexus, looking a bit worn but otherwise fine. The question catches him a bit offguard lost in his thoughts as he is, but he turns to face the newcomer and with a friendly smile.

"Chess. Or mountain climbing. Both are good." Guy's using some dated tech to do...something? Jim isn't sure. He takes a sip of the coffee he has in hand. "How about you?"

"Pokemon Go."

The kid isn't even going to look up from his phone, not even to notice the real pokemon frolicking about the park with the lady that's walking them. He's all lanky and digging the all black look.

Kid really needs a haircut too.

"This place is alright, some of the time."

Ingirun isn't a native by anyone's standards, but she had easily embraced it as a part of her day to day life. It's only in more recent days that she's started venturing out on her own, after her fiancé and his sister had shown her the important spots.

Today she's walking through the Nexus, arms cradling a brown paper bag while her eyes wander every which way. Not far behind her a slender figure follows her, but the dark grey-purple skinned alien wearing all black couldn't be further from the bright blonde pale woman it follows. Nevertheless, it stops when she stops to beam at the stranger.

"Baking," she says without hesitation. "I love singing too, it always brightens up my day, but baking is my favourite. I get to enjoy what I make with friends and family, which is wonderful. And tasty."
