video | un: iron.man

[The video opens on a very nice view of a warehouse ceiling, at least until there's a muffled curse offscreen and it tilts to reveal one Tony Stark. He's practically vibrating with the kind of manic energy that means he's been working for possibly too long, all hair standing on end and a few dark smudges on his face, but he looks pleased at least. Just behind him is a glowing blue hologram picking out the lines of something circular, spinning lazily like it was hurriedly abandoned.]

So hey, you all know those power plants out there in yonder abandoned wasteland? Sure you do. I know there's one working, but I've got some ideas for how to give the other ones a good kick. Thing is, I could use an extra hand.

[The metal arm that's been slowly rolling along behind him suddenly straightens and twists in Tony's direction, claw at the front contracting. Without looking back, Tony just snorts.] Not you. [The arm droops, somehow giving the impression of looking disappointed, but continues his trek to wherever he thinks he's going.]

Anyway, yes. Manpower needed. Preferably the kind that knows it's way around a welding iron, but I'll take what I can get. Oh, and a metric shitload of palladium. So if anybody's got a spare catalytic converter or twenty, let me know.

[He reaches for the phone, then pauses, something slightly sardonic flicking across his mouth.]

Or if one of you magic types wants to straw-into-gold me up some, I'll take that too.

Thanks in advance.

[Looking much more satisfied, he reaches the rest of the way to cut the feed.]

The labs have catalytic converters, and I can look into more being requisitioned from other departments. Do you actually require twenty, or is that an exaggeration? I would need to know exactly what they are being used for. Unless you would prefer the raw materials?

I'm coming with.

[ just this. ]

Not sure I can be your Rumplestiltskin but I can help in other ways.

Have you actually slept lately?

[He's going to get you some nap incense and hold you down.]

[ Cisco responds quickly, the video showing him in his own workshop, safety goggles pushed up onto his head. He is craning his neck, looking at something off-screen, and it's an awkward moment or two before he speaks. ]

I've got uhhhhh... three catalytic converters on hand, but one of 'em is pretty busted. I can keep an eye out for 'em next time I go scavenging, though. There's loads of old cars out in the abandoned city. And, um, I've actually got a stock of palladium, but I should probably hold onto that unless it's, like, an absolute emergency.

[ It had taken a great deal of time and effort, to collect as much of it as he has, and it's an important component in a lot of the things he designs and builds for work. He's generous and wants to help, but he's not crazy. ]

And obvs, you know, my manpower is your manpower. Just lemme know what you need and I'm there.

[ a pair of mercury colored eyes peek at the feed as alphonse considers the request. ]

I might be able to help. I'm an alchemist.

I can keep an eye out for converters next time i head out
i'm good at finding shit
like banner
and thor
and precious metals i guess

I have something better than palladium.

I can lend a hand, if you still need it. Can't help as much on the palladium front, though. Sorry.

[ A pause, then, ]

You should probably cut back on the coffee, by the way.

What's your idea?

[ He should be keeping a lower profile, but he hasn't quite learned that trick yet. ]

Got an extra set of hands if you want them. Can also be a quick study on a welding iron if necessary.

[Rodney might be one of the few to not even bat a lash at Tony's state of over-caffeinated mania. After all, Rodney's been awake for nearly a week on stimulants on multiple occasions, so really, it just gives him the distinct feeling that this guy actually knows what he's doing.]

I'm more interested in providing brainpower than manpower. I'm Rodney McKay, and I'm in charge of the Wall R&D department. The plants might not be wall-related, but believe me when I say my team would be very interested in what you have planned.

[A pause, and then, almost as an afterthought.]

I actually have a recon team at my disposal that I could offer as manpower.

[Guess who would be excited to help? The background of the video behind Hiccup's face is mostly black scales; he's leaning against, essentially, a living welding torch (literally, those blasts are acetylene and oxygen).]

We could help! I can learn to use a welding iron, but Toothless can weld things together too. He used to help me in the forge all the time. [And somewhere there's an answering little 'mrr' from the dragon.]

I can assist with manpower. After you give me a reasonable explanation for why I shouldn't enforce a nap time on you first.

[Grown man or not, he'll do it.]

You look rough Tony.

i'm good with metal & electromagnetic conduction
i can help with the palladium

[ magic-style even, though she's not going to lead with that. ]

I know my way around more than that. Point me where you need work done, and I'll help out.

hey, it's the pilot with the little round droid, volunteering for your welding army.

I don't have the material you need, but I could help with welding and other things. Could always go into the Abandoned City to look for more.

Uhh. Heey. [ Peter waves a small wave. ] New guy in town. New guy with maybe possibly some of that manpower you need?

[ Sure, he doesn't look like much - all lanky and string bean-y, but that's how perfect alter-egos are formed, right? ]

I know my way around a welding iron and - uh. Some of that kinda stuff.

[ He doesn't know what most of this is even about, too much science for him, but he can actually help with heavy lifting if need be. ]

If you need manpower or transportaion for heavy lifting I can be of service. Perhaps for guard duty as well. The beasts beyond the wall are somewhat dangerous. [ somewhat... ]
