I'm looking to gather information. Fill out the form below.

What is the name of your home planet? Do you know the specific designation of your universe?
What is the year in your native world?
What is the level of technology? What is the most advanced thing you know of?
Did you possess abilities prior to arrival? If so, how much of those abilities have you retained?
What power have you been given?
Do you have any form of criminal record?
Do you have any special skills that could be used to our advantage?

Yes.
And having a registry of the skills available is useful.

I'd be interested in the results! Here are my answers:

— Earth; I don't know of any.
— 2076
— We have sentient artificial life created without human involvement. We've also done experiments in space on its long term effects on genetically modified animals.
— No, none.
— I can heat things up or cool them down. I've noticed it's gotten a bit stronger as time's gone on. I can create ice on my fingertips, for example.
— No.
— I'm a scientist specializing in climatology, but I have some basic knowledge of physics as well. I'm good at building new things out of scrap pieces for certain functions.

[ Well, that's all interesting. Kidnapping a climatologist? Heroes he can understand, but someone who works in studying weather patterns? Unless she's secretly some kind of weather witch plotting world domination.

But hot and cold powers? Those could be useful. ]

Do you have any idea why you would have been taken?

[frostedplum]

I'm afraid I don't. The only thing I could think of was that I belonged to an organization called Overwatch, but it was shut down years ago, and I don't see how me collecting their old climate data would have anything to do with me being brought here.

[batricide]

If they're targeting anyone affiliated with certain organizations or anyone affiliated with such it could explain why you were chosen.
I'm not familiar with Overwatch. What is it?

[frostedplum]

It was a peacekeeping organization, but it also branched out into research. I was tasked with looking into our world's rapidly changing climate.

Are you affiliated with any organization like that?

[batricide]

I am.

So I suppose there are no shortage of enemies that may have targeted you.

[frostedplum]

That's so strange! Everyone else I've spoken with seems so impressive. They fight monsters or keep the world safe from aliens or something like that. I'm trying to save my world too, but in a different way. I guess I never considered someone would want me here because of what I do.

[batricide]

[ There's an entire subgenre of climate based supervillains. ]

Knowing and potentially controlling the climate of a planet is a useful skill. I'm not surprised they would seek out someone who works in the field.

[frostedplum]

[ Someone link Mei to the Wiki page. ]

Oh. I guess so. There is already an organization here who does that. They keep the atmosphere stable and work on terraforming the moon. I wonder about whoever took me and why they looked outside that group of people for someone familiar with the climate.

[batricide]

It could be that they felt you wouldn't be missed as much as the other members.

[ Which sounds harsh. Is harsh. He's not very personable. He's really, really trying. ]

Or it could be something you do in the future, as we're working with both time and space displacement. There isn't enough information to be certain.

[frostedplum]

[ Luckily such a statement doesn't insult her. It sounds completely plausible and factual. ]

Oh my gosh! I hadn't considered that they've looked into my future! I wish we had more clues.

[batricide]

They can't hide forever.
We'll get answers one way or another.

[frostedplum]

That's right. After all, that nurse slipped up. Though I suppose security will be tighter now that that's happened.

[batricide]

Undoubtedly.
I suspect we'll get far less direct leads as a result. Stay vigilant.
