[Several hours after his apparently miraculous resurrection, Joscelin Fitzthomas opens the video link. He looks shellshocked and confused. But he also looks different. Even as washed out as he is by the video feed, his face is not quite as pale as before, and there is actual color in his cheeks that make his freckles (which also suddenly seem more numerous than there had been) stand out even more.

When he speaks, his voice is quiet and subdued, with none of his usual sarcastic swagger.]

It would appear that I troubled many of you during the mission. For that, I am sorry.

Romeo and I caught a saboteur in the act, and that person reacted by shooting at us. I took the bullet—or bolt, I suppose; how does one classify science fiction weapons?—for Romeo. At any rate, I was under the impression that I had been wounded, but I have since been disabused of that notion and it now appears that I spent the last several days dead, somehow. Tony Stark had my ashes and personal effects in his room. I...

[He seems to realize he’s rambling and cuts himself off.]

Since then, Romeo has vanished.

[His voice breaks.]

I came to bundled away in a suitcase earlier today, so please—help me by checking the baggage car regularly. Maybe Romeo needs help extricating himself from a piece of luggage. Romeo is the very best of us and I beg you all to help me find him and keep him safe. Please.

I'm aware that there's a loosely structured list of classes on-board the train already, but after the last disaster, I think we need to seriously expand the offerings.

Engineering skills are crucial. It's come to my attention that Team Orange is often tasked with that. I gathered some scraps from the mission planet---anything in good condition is donated to larger products, but I'm using the leftovers to build samples for teaching the basics. Ideally we'd focus on a range of possible technological eras, so any talented smiths would be of use.

I know combat classes and basic math and science classes are already underway, but it might be worth reminding everyone about them. An expansion of medical would be wise too.

Any thoughts? Anything you're willing to teach us that we could use?
