"We all do," Alice says, hands twitching. She doesn't take this inactivity during a time of crisis well. She wants to get up and fight something. "I hope April and Victor -- er, Victor A -- are having more luck than we are. Do you think we should contact them?"

"Part of me wants to, but part of me is worried we'll catch them at a particularly bad time, given our luck," Doc says. "Their mission involved trying to find Zod, and if they were in the middle of a fight when we tried to reach them. . . ." He thinks for a moment. "Maybe we should try to find out where the ship is? See if there's anything we can do on that front?"
