[Shuri is sitting on her assigned bed when she flicks on the device she'd been given. She doesn't mind sharing a room with other people but it's a first for her and she's adjusting to the change. It's a lot louder here than the palace of Wakanda and she currently has no lab to retreat to.]

This looks like it'll be my home for awhile so I thought it best to give a general hello. My name is Shuri.

[She really isn't interested in the festival that's going on but she has a few questions that can only be answered by those who have been here for awhile.] I have a few questions.

First I'd like to talk to those who work in technical fields. I'm the head of the R&D division in Wakanda and I'd like to do something similar here. [It's the best way for her to help out and no matter where Shuri is, she wants to help those around her.] I was told when I arrived that there are many labs here but I'd like to hear from you, which is the best.

I'm also looking for the Avengers. If any are listening, I believe you know my brother T'Challa, King of Wakanda. [She hasn't met many of the Avengers but she assumes that some of them are here since people are being swept away to a moon via a portal.]

Thank you for your time.

Shuri. My name is Hux, I'm the head of ISA; Industrial Scientific Advancement. My department is stationed at the Perimeter Guard if you'd like to come down and have a look.

[whatarethose]

Perimeter Guard. So you focus on weapons, defense and communication?

[Weapons and defense are self explanatory when it comes to any guard but, as Shuri understands it, there is a vast area around the city that is slowly being explored. There are other things they could use, technology that can map the topography as well as catalog and map what is beyond the city.

It might be an interesting place to look into.]

[fhux]

Weapons, mainly, with a specialised focus on improving the designs of other departments. Our resources come from within and without the city, varied and sometimes new.

[ Hux having made personal contracts with suppliers and mapped the surrounding jungle from Kirk's shuttle, taking note of any useful materials. ]

[whatarethose]

I see.

[Definitely a place she wants to check out. No one knows what world Vibrainium came from, perhaps Shuri can find something that's molecularity comparable here.]

I'd like to see if if you have the time.

Yeah, there's a surprising number of Avengers around. Not all of them are from the same universe. It's a thing.

In terms of R&D, I do work on the Abandoned City, but there's a bunch of different labs that do various things. Pretty much you name it, you can probably find it.

text; un: iron.man

[whatarethose]

So it seems. I've never heard of alternate universes but I guess it's possible. [Since it's happening.]

Do you know what the various labs do? If not, what does your lab focus on?

[buildsomething]

It's an interesting thought experiment until it smacks you in the face.

Not all of them. I know there's a group that works on the Wall and defensive measures and things like that, and some folks that work on arming the Perimeter Guard. Like I said, I'm focused on getting the Abandoned City slightly less abandoned.

[video | un: flamel]

[alchemyfreak]

I don't know anything about the Avengers but I did know your brother, we lived together briefly when he was here.

[Not exactly helpful, but he's curious. After all, he had no idea one of his room mates was a king. This place seemed to be full of royalty.]

[video | un: flamel]

[whatarethose]

Is that so? I heard that he had been here.

[She looks thoughtful for a moment before continuing.]

How well did you know him?

[Shuri likes being a brat and will tell people that her brother is a king just so he has to deal with that when he gets here. She's a little troll like that and is eager to set things up waaaaaay in advance. It's what little sisters do.]

[alchemyfreak]

Not very well. He came and went in less than two months, by my estimate. We were kind of in the middle of moving out when he arrived, anyway.

[A thoughtful pause.]

Seemed like a nice guy. He wanted to go back, asked about the portal, I'm sure he took the first opportunity to get out of here.

[talentedscavenger]

Depends on what you would like to do. There are different divisions. I spend my time between the Perimeter guard and scavenging around.

I'm Rey. I've met your brother once, didn't realize he was royalty.

video: un: scavenger.rey

[whatarethose]

I've worked on many types of systems. I'd like to know where I might be most useful here and to first do that, I need to know more about the work that's going on.

[It seems like there is quite a lot of research in this one city.]

He doesn't broadcast his status. [It's all part of her evil plan should he arrive back in Riverview.] What do you do in the Perimeter Guard?

[talentedscavenger]

It depends if the coding and mechanics are the same here as they are in your world. I find them to be similar.

I don’t blame him for it. It’s something private and on a need to know bases.

I’m part of the Ariel unit, but I was on salvage and repair before. I’m used to repairing or building things.

[anotheroldsoldier]

Plenty of R&D going on around the city, I'm sure you can take your pick.

What do you need Avengers for? General headcount? That might take a while.

text, @jb.barnes

[whatarethose]

That's the idea. I want to see where I am most helpful. I'm sure I have skills that others don't have.

My brother spoke of the Avengers as people who would help. We have that in common.

[And if people are being abducted then surely the Avengers are there.]

[anotheroldsoldier]

Looks like you're already talking to the right person to figure out where you'd be most useful.

[Tony knows a lot of what's going on on the tech front.]

That's usually what we do. What specifically were you looking for help with?

video | un: blacklion

[lionunchained]

It's good to meet you, Shuri. I'm Shiro, a member of orientation support with Perimeter Guard.

It may have already been mentioned, but the Perimeter Guard could always use someone who has technical knowledge. I know of one and then the wall research and development needs people with tech skills as well.

[He'll leave the Avengers topic for someone else because that is clearly meant for a specific group]

video | un: blacklion

[whatarethose]

Hello Shiro.

[She flashes him a brief smile.]

It's been mentioned but there are a lot of divisions of it. I was curious as to what they all do. So far it looks like they focus on weapons. [Which Shuri can do but she doesn't like focusing on weapons.]

video | un: blacklion

[lionunchained]

There are some divisions that focus more on the tech to upkeep the walls in order to keep it up with all the creatures that come through the portal. Granted yes, some of those are weapons based.

I can understand though not wanting to do something with weapons. I'm sure there are departments in the guard that don't focus on weapons. I can also help with trying to find some of the companies out there than might need something tech related.

What sort of a focus did you have before?

[She might notice that there is now a faint metallic sound and the sound of how something robotic in the background of Shiro's video]

video; un: captain.rogers

[neversurrender]

Hello Shuri. I'm Steve Rogers. Assuming we're from the same universe, if your brother mentioned the Avengers to you, he might have mentioned me as well. Speaking of the Avengers, there's a number of us here and, as I'm sure you've heard, we're scattered across universes. There's also more then one of a few of us. Do you need our assistance with something?

[He owes T'Challa and the Wakandans a lot. Even if this Shuri is from another universe entirely, he still owes it to them to offer his help however he can.]

video; un: captain.rogers

[whatarethose]

I know you Captain Rogers.

You fought my brother once and I've spent some time with a friend of yours. [Shuri remembers hearing about it as well as taking the information that T'Challa's suit had collected to make some improvements on the Black Panther. She really should be thanking Steve for beating up her brother back then...]

I don't need anything right now.

[She wants to know who her friends are.]

video;

[neversurrender]

[And that friend of his being Bucky. He really should give her a heads up.]

Bucky is here, but he won't know who you are. He was taken from a point in time before the rest of us. He didn't know your brother when he was here either.

text; stark

[inebriety]

Old man me is probably the best out of those actually doing something. [Spoilers: He thinks he's better, but he is currently consulting only.]

I'm not an Avenger, but I worked with your brother briefly before he decided Hollywood was more his thing.

text; stark

[whatarethose]

Are you the young-man you then? Should I call you Stark Jr.?

Hollywood? Are you sure we're talking about the same T'Challa?

text; stark

[inebriety]

You could say that. Wouldn't be the first time someone's called me that.

I was surprised too. It's always the quiet ones.
