Having cashed in a favor with Cleary Caswell to be teleported to the sleepy seaside town of Covetown, Maine, Sloane took a local bus route to @KirbyScott's neighborhood. The cryokinetic mutate wheels up to Kirby’s door and presses the doorbell.

@SloaneRincourt “Just a second!” Calls out a voice from within. Kirby was naked and had to quickly put on a robe before tapping the door-open button with her arm nub.

Standing on one leg just inside the vestibule is the young lady herself. She huffs and rolls her eyes. “I’m not buying whatever you’re selling.”

@KirbyScott “I assure you, Miss Scott, what I offer is priceless. We’ve gotten your message about wanting to join us. And believe me, we’d be delighted to have you on board.”

@SloaneRincourt “Right… And, uh, who is ‘we’, hm? I don’t remember sending out any messages recently.”

Out of courtesy, Kirby hops aside so that this mystery woman can enter. Her curiosity is piqued.

@KirbyScott “The Earth Defense Task Force, Miss Scott. And we have a very powerful telepath on our roster. She heard you musing about it.”

Sloane wheeled inside and peered up at the seven and a half foot tall young woman. “You’re very tall. Which is okay; we have a three meter tall Angel in our organization. So, you’ll fit right in.”

@SloaneRincourt “Wait, hold on. Who are you and why are you talking like I’m just going to say yes? I’m happy here. Why would I uproot my life and move to New York City just because the EDTF sent someone to recruit me?”

@KirbyScott “My name is Sloane Rincourt, but you may know me better as the superhero formerly known as Cryo. And we can offer you a life of thrill, excitement and responsibility. People will respect you as a hero, but you’ll have to earn that respect. The EDTF is a calling, not a profession. If that sounds appealing to you, then come with me.”

Outside, a black van with a chairlift pulls up in front of the house.

Suffice it to say, young Kirby Scott did follow Mrs. Rincourt. Tasha is going to have another custom tailored super suit to make.

Back in New York at Stark Tower, Kirby is astonished by her surroundings. She never imagined she’d have an actual recruitment meeting with EDTF Director Jessica Jones herself.

Kirby rolls into @AKAJewel's office, still in the same cotton bathrobe. But like Tasha Stark, Kirby has little to no sense of shame. She’d fight crime naked if it were allowed.

@KirbyScott Jess looked up, and a holographic display helped her catch up. "Neither Tasha nor Sloane have any idea what retirement is." Jess laughed. "Welcome to the earth defense task force. Aurora will send you your welcome pack with required reading and identification. If you don't have it already. She's super efficient. I'm sure you have a lot of questions. Ask away."
@AKAJewel “I’ve read up on the EDTF and I know how inclusive and accommodating you are. I also know that your heroes use specialized suits to fight crime. Could mine have prosthetic limbs built in?”
@KirbyScott "I absolutely can arrange that. I think we can arrange them outside the suit, too, should you be so inclined."
@AKAJewel “I appreciate the offer, but aside from using my powers, I prefer to manage without prosthetics in everyday life. Just like my favorite hero, Volta.”
@KirbyScott "No further explanation is necessary. It was an offer, not an expectation. I've seen some truly wonderful folk missing a limb. Or an entire body."

@AKAJewel “Oh, like Cranium?”

Using her foot, Kirby pours a glass of water for herself from the pitcher on the coffee table. However, she has trouble bringing the glass to her lips with her lone limb.

@KirbyScott "More like Natasha, but certainly." Jess nodded. "It's good to know there are others."

@AKAJewel “This might be awkward for you, Director, but, um… could you help me with this?” She gestures with her foot to the glass.

“I’d love to meet more people on the team. Is that possible?” Kirby really wants to meet her hero, Becka Sheridan, but she’s couching it for now.

@KirbyScott "Oh, yeah. The tower is a hub for everybody. You enjoy a quality coffee in the lounge, you'll meet a few. Just... Be cautious. Some of them are sensitive about things."
