[There's a new face outside Heimdall's Welcome Hall. It's a confused face. It's also a concerned face. But it's also a face that would normally be friendly and open, so it seems to be having an identity crisis at the moment.

Keith Goodman, to whom the face belongs, wonders for a moment if his city, the city of Sternbild, has a patron god. Or gods. Then he discards that idea, since he would have known about anything like that. At the moment, he feels uncertain about things in general, but it would be hard not to be. On his own in a strange place, wearing his suit and gear (none of which works), and toting his helmet under his arm, he hardly feels like Sky High. Which, since he knows he can't manipulate so much as a light breeze, he guesses he isn't. At least for now.

Thinking of "for now", he makes a metal note to find out more about the power he does have. The sooner he's able to figure out his place in all this and start doing something about getting back to Sternbild, the better. After all, there's a manhunt underway for a dangerous NEXT, and his friends and fellow Heroes need him. Keith Goodman, formerly Sky High, wonders just how long it takes to "bring life to the world".

But, confused or not, a little disheartened or not, and duty bound or not, Keith Goodman knows how to follow instructions. He can see that he's arrived at the destination on the map he was given, and he can see that the bracelet device is working properly. If there is one thing he doesn't need instructions for, it's making an introduction. A script would be nice, but he couldn't find anything to write with. Determined to do the best he can, Keith pushes his bangs back out of his eyes, squares his shoulders, and addresses the holographic screen with a smile.]

Hello-- to whoever can see and hear me! I'm Keith. Keith Goodman. I guess it's okay to say that I'm a Hero from Sternbild, since my identity doesn't seem to matter here. I didn't see the point in wearing my helmet anymore. It doesn't work and it's pretty hot in there. so I hope that's all right!

[There's a brief pause, as if Keith were trying to remember his lines.]

Normally, I really like meeting new people, even if it's a surprise. I haven't met anyone yet, but I hope to meet you very soon. I'll do my best to be a good member of the group. I'm sure that with good teamwork, we can do whatever it is that needs to be done!

I know that being brought here must be inconvenient for everyone, so I'll try not to complain. Though I wouldn't mind hearing how others are handling it, of course! I was wondering, though, is there anyone else here who was in the middle of something really important at home? Something you were needed for?

[Realizing he's deviated from his "script", Keith shakes his head as if trying to clear it of worries. He smiles.]

I don't think I've been assigned any quarters yet, but in the meantime, I'm where I'm supposed to be. At least according to the map, I am.

Well, I'd like to say thank you for hearing me out! So, thank you!
[Somehow Keith manages to hold onto his helmet while flipping the screen a salute.]
