[ when the feed clicks on, it looks as if Tony hasn't seen his actual skin in about thirty six hours (or a bed for that long, at that, but what else is new?). there is grease smeared more of less everywhere and his hair looks like it was styled using a fork and an electrical sock, but he is grinning and looks very pleased with life as he addresses the network.]

So, since the incident that happened a few months ago involving monsters and other bullshit, I have been trying to put together a defense system for the Quarantine that would act as a primary system to both alerting us about any predators that might get too close, as well as perhaps even as a system that can be used to stun said things for easier removal deeper into the forest. [ look, Loki, he is thinking this time.]

I have come up with a prototype, [ he moves slightly to gesture over his shoulder and, if you are looking close enough you might see a turret shape amidst all the chaos in his workshop, wearing a ridiculous red, blue, and white crown but whatever ] named it Cake so far, but-- well I know that I am not the only engineer here and I think that help would be greatly appreciated.

[ sure he is sure enough that he knows this will work, but it has taken him the better part of two months to get Cake here to the point where he was confident in its build and coding. and the Quarantine will need more than one for this to work.]

Basically, what I am asking for is anyone with any background in coding, or mechanical engineering to help out in the construction and streamlining of these defensive turrets; I have coding done, but more eyes the better. I have also managed to test it out a few time with the help of some friends, but-- I know you can never be too careful.

[ is he a little rueful there? maybe.]

Anyone that might be able to help, I would be very grateful. Swing by the perimeter defense office if you can to let me know.

[ he moves as if to turn the feed off before:]

Oh, and happy birthday Steve.

[ then, with a wink, the feed is shut off]

But you usually try to play welcome committee? [ She smiles. ]

Don't worry, you haven't missed anything. I just arrived the other day.

[amelioraate]

Ah, maybe not welcoming committee, but I like to have a general idea of goings and comings/ Especially when I am testing things.

[ a pause ]

You settling in alright though?

[tutee]

Well enough. My friend's here; he showed me around a bit.

[ Showed her the places he considered important, which might not actually be the most important places. ]

[amelioraate]

That is good to hear that you came through with friends, the multiverse shit is always easier to handle when there is something familiar.

Though winding up with two other me's is a little strange.

[tutee]

[ Bill makes a sympathetic face. ]

Parallel universe problems. Never know when you'll meet yourself. I wonder if I'll ever meet another me?

[amelioraate]

Honestly, it is probably less traumatic when you don't hate yourself. But other me's always seem hellbent on reminding me about my shitter character traits.

[tutee]

Good luck with that, mate.

[ She doesn't think she'd have that problem, but she really has no way of knowing. ]
