Balthasar/Baldwin: Good to see my country has a G-52! Even better is that we're the safest country in Europe. Terrorists, supervillains, and the Drunken Dobermans often forget about us and just assume we live on ice because of our name.

Snowstorm: That and we have a tough environment too. Cold weather, fog, rain, and yet we have hot springs and volcanoes. We have plenty of grass on the fields too despite our country's name.

Finisher: And so that completes the Scandinavians; Snowstorm of Iceland, me from Finland, Icebreaker from Norway, Sound Splitter of Sweden, and Ice Pirate of Denmark!

Ice Pirate: Now let's have salmon!

Snowstorm: And hákarl for the brave. Fermented shark anyone? They taste faintly like cheese.

Chuong: *Eats some hákarl.* Oh yes! Not too bad!

Jack: *Eats hákarl.* Eeeew! It almost smells like ammonia!

Leonhard: It's meant to smell that way.

Snowstorm: It's a popular delicacy in Iceland but it's not for everybody.

Rush: And why are you wearing a puffin doll on your head?

Snowstorm: That's part of my casual outfit and we have lots of puffins in Iceland. They're edible too if you're interested.

Rush: Nah. I'd rather eat Canadian geese instead.

Zax: Puffins are cute.

Snowstorm: That's true. They don't make good pets and are always better off in the wild. But yes, we do eat them sometimes and they're tasty.

Cripto: I was going to ask what qualifies you as the safest place in Europe, but you answered it already.

Captain C: We visited Iceland after Alex cured Magnus of his condition. Oh, dash it all! What was it?

Magnus: Cancer.

Snowstorm: After hearing his story, it inspired me to help my country more. I once again thank you Alex for saving someone gifted in my country. I'm even more happy that he's alive to see me as Iceland's first G-52.

Balthasar/Baldwin: Yes Cripto. We're a very isolated country and when you donated to us, it allowed us to be more independent and it took a lot of our minds off of any political worried we had before. Critics say that your donations allowed Iceland to isolate itself from the rest of the world more when in reality, it took a lot of financial worries off of our minds and we can continue live in peace again.

Snowstorm: Well ever since Bendraqi died, we can live in perfect peace again without any bad guys sneaking up on our homeland.

Cripto: As long it did you more good than bad; people still want to nail me to the wall for doing it in the first place. *shrugs*

Captain C: I think I meant to ask what specific sort of cancer it was.

Alex: You're welcome. *He shivers, but slowly walks to Snowstorm and feels his biceps, then hugs him.*

Captain C: Is it safe?

Cripto: It's safe.

Captain C: Okay, here is the rundown. Alex is a native Eternan, and like Zanta, has his worries about strangers, particularly male furries, who are soldiers, superheroes, bodybuilders, or in the case of Cripto as we know him today, all three. By the tiger of purity's suggestion, and seeing he was an orphan, I chose to adopt him. Since then he's gradually building up his trust with the other new members.

Magnus: I can't remember Captain C but I rather not. I want to move on and be strong and happy.

Snowstorm: *Hugs Alex back.* Hey little guy! *To Captain C.* Yeah that's going to be a problem in Iceland because male furry bodybuilders are very common in my country and many of them go around shirtless in public regardless of how cold the weather is outside. But rest assured that in Iceland, we all know each other and we will guarantee you that Alex is way more than welcome to visit Iceland. But he should expect a lot of culture shocks in my country so whatever cultural customs he may be used to may not be available in my country. But we're open to him; especially when we all found out what he did to Magnus. I cannot thank you enough Alex for saving one of my people.

*Alex purrs and continues to give hugs.*

Captain C: He'll build up his trust with you that way.
