Who: Peggy Carter and YOU.
Broadcast: Fleet-wide, from inside the Marsiva.
Action: Y, for any other newcomers between now and the Shuffle.
When: This Week.

[ let us not dwell too long upon the awkward silences and humiliating nascent moments of agent carter's awakening. let it only be said that she woke with a start (despite the afforded comfort) and the broadcast didn't quite zoom in close enough to adequately witness the depth of her horror when she first raised a tentative hand to her forehead only to find an empty glass vial still sitting there. steve's blood had been poured away: returned to his native lands by way of the east river. both guilty and triumphant, she pockets the vial in her blazer and tells herself it's a problem for another time. after all--- ]

Bollocks. [ mistaking herself for a person alone, she swears. loudly and colourfully as she crosses the bay and knocks her knuckles against the too-intact viewing window separating herself from the rest of creation -- and no familiar blue-and-green marble in sight. peggy swears again: bollocks, damnit, and hell. unable to peer into the void for much longer, she turns her back on oblivion and is confronted once more with the too-sterile hospitality deck. she may be a tidy and precise sort of woman, but this much tidiness and precision makes her stomach turn. where is the stink of new york? the heat? the mess? the humanity?

feeling charged with purpose, she springs into (moderate) action. feeling alarmingly comfortable with technology she swears she's never seen before, she plays her fingers across a panel she doesn't know will connect her to the rest of a whol damned fleet -- but she's left with the burning certainty that it'll connect her with someone. imperiously: ]

I would speak with the individual -- or individuals -- in charge of this operation. Believe me when I stress there is a whole bloody cavalcade of laws, both domestic and international, you're breaking by holding me here. I demand to...

[ some of the fire floods from her belly. a little desperate, she changes tactics: ] Is anyone there? Hello?

[ He seems satisfied with her answer, nodding his head a fraction. He didn't peg her as a civilian, anyway. The way she holds herself and how guarded she is pretty much screamed it.

Also the fact that she seemed to know him at some point helped tremendously- even if he couldn't manifest anything. In the event she were somehow lying, it was better than what he had now.

Echoes of something that his fingers passed through like mist. ]


War touches everyone. Doesn't matter if you were involved directly or not.

I would have been disposed of or re-educated had I not performed favorably.

[ Grim, but accurate. If his skill faltered, it was shaken off as a malfunction and the problem was solved. ]

I have been out of practice here.. My weapons were confiscated.

The Captain has one that he keeps on him..

[ One that he's been offered while he keeps watch, but always turns down. It's a test and he knows it. ]

The others aren't right. [ Not a natural firearm; not by a long shot. ]

You handle weapons for so long you can tell when what you're holding isn't right.

[ They don't handle the way a normal firearm does, it takes some getting used to. Of course, that could be his particularity coming into play. ]
