"Nope. I've had this ring for seven years, although I was in a coma until a few months ago, and there are two other green lanterns on Earth. I can't imagine how you wouldn't have heard of us. You have any idea where that ring came from? Or, uh, what kind it is?"

"Are... are other Earth's a thing.... I noticed that New York City looks smaller than I remember from when I was on a plane last. And there's a big city here in Connecticut I don't remember being that big."

He sighs.

"There are alternate realities, yes. We've gotten visitors a few times, it's usually a pain in the ass. Sounds like you come from one of them, that or you lost your memories or something even weirder happened. Can you send me your ring's recordings?"

Permalink

"Ring can you do that?" She wants to send the recordings it sounds like it might help figure out what's happening.

Permalink

"Thanks."

Guy's ring projects a green hologram that looks like Sapphire's flight path. He scrutinizes it for a few moments, looks at a few more holograms; graphs and charts, and says,

"Did you send me everything? Because the earliest data here is four hours old."

Permalink

"Ring? Is there anything you didn't send? Do you have records from before then?"

Permalink

"All routine environmental recording data was transmitted. Other contents of database not transmitted. No data prior to 4 hours, 17 minutes ago available."

Permalink

"What's in your database?"

Permalink

It lists various types of information it has been able to put together in the last several hours—mapping, language data, technical information about how she channels Indigo Light, etc. It's clear that the ring has learned a lot about the things it has been able to observe so far, but doesn't have data about anything else.

Permalink

"It says that's all it has. It seems like the database is all things it learned in the last four hours. It figured out more than I would have."

Permalink

"Alright, sounds like you're not from here then. Welcome to this Earth. What are your intentions?"

Permalink

"I'm not sure, a part of me wants to go home but I feel like I might be here for a purpose. My ring is powered by compassion and it feels like that's a message like I'm meant to be here to help people."

Permalink

"Could be. It's a pretty weird situation. I've make some calls, take some scans, might be able to figure out more about what happened to you."

By this point, Guy has exited threat-assessment mode and has noticed he is speaking to an attractive woman.

"Say, I forgot to introduce myself. My name's Guy, Guy Gardner. If you like, later, maybe I could show you around, introduce you to this new world."

He offers his most charming smile, which Sapphire may or may not actually find charming.

Permalink

"Thank you, I'd appreciate whatever help you can offer." If she notices his attraction she doesn't mention it.

Permalink

"I'll see you tonight, then. Unless you have any questions for me, I'll head for the moon before the trail gets cold."

Permalink

"Do you have any suggestions for where I should go I was planning to go to my dorm but it doesn't seem like that's possible anymore."

Permalink

"You have a power ring, you can go pretty much wherever you want. What, exactly, are you looking for?"

Permalink

"Eventually I'll need somewhere to stay but I can just explore for a while. Mostly I want to find people I can help. Do you have some way to find me or should we meet somewhere at a particular time."

Permalink

"People to help... I don't know what that looks like to you, but your ring should be able to access the internet, that'll probably help you with more specific information. You can use your ring to give me a call whenever you want, it's pretty good for communication."

Permalink

"That works, thank you."

Permalink

"See you later, Sapphire."

He gives a little salute and flies off.

Permalink

Can she think commands to the ring? She tries thinking towards the ring. Ring search for any recent disasters.

Permalink

"Unable to comply; 'recent disasters' inadequately specified."

Permalink

Okay that works. Define disaster as an event that resulted in the death or displacement of one hundred or more people and is not associated with an ongoing war. Define recent as the last week.
