[ the feed clicks on with an abrupt vision of peggy carter, sitting (once more) on the starstruck's bridge. today, however, she's without the casual accouterments of tea or mug or whatever what might suggest her address is anything but business-like. ]

Have we got anyone amidst our number who might be considered to be considered a de-facto expert on these...implants of ours? [ ... ] I've got questions to ask. And I've heard tell of at least one person attempting to remove theirs. If it's an undertaking that anyone else has pursued, I wouldn't mind a little chat.

[ -- she puffs her cheeks and (upon a moment's consideration) adds a disclaimer: ] I have heard about how fruitless and frankly painful the attempt likely is -- rest assured, I'm not pining for any sort of elective surgery. [ not yet, at least. ]

For the time being, let's call it a mere preliminary investigation.

[ and one she doesn't like talking about over the damned network -- but if others are right, it's not as though they have much privacy off the broadcasts, either. she'll make her first fresh inroads in this fashion, and return her work to the shadows when required. ]

[ Tony makes a face, clearly he is aware of this. He touches his.]

No kidding. Nasty little welcome gift.

[ He shrugs his head to the side a bit, though. ]

Or they're keeping us alive. Anyone's guess until I can find out more.

[mucked]

Is that something you plan to do? Find out more?

[ brows up -- but not with doubt or faithlessness. instead, she's rather curious. rather invested, really, in what stark might see as a priority. ]

[housepartyprotocol]

Yeah, well, original plan was to peace out, but that's going to take some time. Best bet for now is to figure out what it is that's currently plugged directly into my brain.

[mucked]

I don't disagree. [ hmm. ] In fact, I could someone more technically-inclined to assist my own mild investigations.

[housepartyprotocol]

Have your 'mild investigations' uncovered anything yet?

[mucked]

Apparently there's something to these augments which triggers a visceral sensation of dread and wrong-doing whenever someone does try and tamper with them. Some sort of neurological fail-safe. Invasive, and perverse.

[housepartyprotocol]

[ Huffs, annoyed. Clearly he's found this particular tidbit already. ]

Yeah, I don't think ripping it out is going to work.
