[He's out of practice. Steve is quiet for a second as he starts the transmission, bracing himself.]

My name is Steve Rogers. In my world, I'm also known as Captain America. Some of you might know me, but that's not what I want to talk about.

[Well, not about his work specifically. He does wants to talk about work.]

We're all here for different reasons and I'm not going to pry into anyone's business, but I think there are some of us who are used to defending people in our home worlds and if you are, I'd like to work with you. If you're from a world like mine, then this city is quieter than others. But that doesn't mean we don't need to look out for it. The wildlife and technical problems still need attention. I know I'm asking you for more time on top of the work we're already doing with the Perimeter Guard and official positions, but I'd like to make that extra effort. A lot of you are probably better suited to organizing this than I am. If you have projects going, I want to join you. I want us to share those ideas and work together to help the city.

[His posture gets subtly more stern, with his chin raising and his shoulders straight. This part may not just be a general appeal for teamwork.]

It's easy to overlook some problems when most of the big issues are under control. We get by well enough. It's a nice place. I'm not going to let anything put this place in danger. I'm going to be on guard, to make sure nothing gets out of hand. I'm sure this doesn't apply to everyone, but if you're interested in a little community service, maybe we can do that together. Thanks for listening.

You have a lot of people that look up to you. I guess that's no surprise, but they seem like good people.

Well, if people are interested, I thought some training sessions could be a nice place to begin. We could get to know each other better.

They are. I wouldn't have been able to accomplish what I have without them.
Count me in. I'm never opposed to training.

[And you can tell a lot about a person from how they fight. Which, he supposes is where some of the getting to know each other comes in.]

I'll be glad to have you any time. To be honest, I'd like to see you in action myself.

[He's actually cheered by the prospect of it. This is something he knows.]

It would probably be good to organize a time for us to all get together.
If we're meant to work together it's best to get to know each other and what we can all do from the beginning.
But we can always meet up and spar ourselves anytime.

I agree, if we can get everyone together. At the very least, I hope this'll get some people talking to each other.

The sparring is just for me.

Training has a way of bringing people together.

Don't be too sure.
I'm curious to see what you can do as well.

I just hope that people will give us a chance.

I wonder if there's a difference.
