[ at first it might seem like a purely professional document ]

MOON;

Efforts are being made to fix the process that went wrong ( official term: terraforming )

Many years have passed since it did, however, the natives seem unsure if we can help.

They allow people into what they call the Cortex

the technology is unfamiliar.

[ the part that might hint towards this being a pure accident of a document uploaded onto the network rather than onto just one comm device will come next, just a bit more text and a few attached file ]

this will remain online for a little over half an hour before the pictures will be, thankfully, mercifully, edited out by one winn schott ]

[Wow a bunch of collected photos of one specific person. That's a really weird entry to get. He's seen something like this before back home, so maybe it's the same thing-]

...Sir, are you stalking Captain Peggy Carter?

No.

She knows of the pictures.

The upload was a mistake.

She's a friend. From home.

[...]

If that's so, you two must be very good friends then.

Yes.

Yes, she's a very good friend.

[ are you hinting at something, allen ]

That's good you have someone like that in the fleet.

[He only means that he doesn't 100% believe you're not a stalker because he sure doesn't upload pictures of his friends. But whatever, Peggy seems plenty capable of handling creeps if that is the case.]

Anyway, I thought I'd check in. Find out anything more on your end about the terraformers?

Right.

[ thank you for that change of subject, allen. it's so appreciated ]

have you been to the cortex?

Mm. I went with a team.

The hallways there could really use some direction signs.

They could be expended too.

Did you get very far? some of those I couldn't even crawl at.

Yeah, I'm not sure who they were built for exactly. I sent my golem down a couple small ones, and even he couldn't get through after awhile. And he's just a little bigger than a baseball.

But we managed to reach the core eventually. It's no wonder the people here haven't figured out how to fix it.

What's a golem?

Is it a sort of a robot?

The technology seems weird, even for this place. I don't know how they built the thing to begin with.

Yeah, essentially. A mixture of magic and technology.

I have no idea either. We did find something I think I recognised, but um...if it is that, I'm not sure why it was there.

Your world has magic?

You did? from - your home or from the fleet?

Yes, though it's not really common knowledge.

From the fleet. It's- [He hesitates, because it sounds absurd] I'm still double checking, but it seems there are parts of it that might be full of...gumballs.

gumballs?

as in

gum? the chewing kind?

[ w h a t ]

Yeah, those things.

I mean, they're probably not just any kind of gumball. But there was a goo substance that look just like some gumballs from Atroma we tested in the lab a few months ago. At least, how they looked after we melted them.

the machine runs on gumballs.

[ the moment when steve rogers literally cannot believe his life. ]

do we - have those gumballs on any of the ships?

[ Welcome to your new life Steve. It's nothing but weird. ]

I don't know. My ship sold our supply of them. [ Though now he feels like he should've asked for more money, God.] But maybe another ship still has theirs.

[ did the atroma knew when they gave the gumballs? they must have. that would mean they denied help of these people and for what? so that they could struggle to solve the puzzle by themselves? ]

I'll ask the different captains and I'll report back to you.

Thanks Steve, I'd appreciate that. Maybe if we're lucky, it can be a solution to helping these people.

It's definitely worth the try.

I'll start with my ship. I didn't see gumballs but Peggy would know if there are and where they would be.

[ you know. assuming she won't shoot him. ]

Ah, great! Good luck!

[Hope you don't get shot....]

The Starstruck sold all the gumballs it had.

I'll ask Tony, maybe the ship he's captain of hasn't.

[ because like it or not, Stark, you may be captain but he's not calling it your ship. ]

-- Tony?

You mean, Tony Stark?

He's a captain?

Yes

You've met Tony?

[ oh no. ]

Uh-

It was a long time ago, in...another place like this. I doubt he'd remember me. [hell, even if Tony remembered Paradisa, he doubt Tony would remember Allen. He seems like that kind of guy]
