[ 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. ]

[Wanda thinks for a moment.]

In this case, I believe it was the nebula that caused them to behave in the way that they did. In the past, they have reacted to my emotions. The more powerful the emotion... the stronger my powers' response.

[mucked]

Hmm. [ this, she considers. ] Can't make for much stability. I'm sorry.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda shrugs her shoulders in response, letting out a soft sigh.]

It is nothing you need to apologize for. Typically, I have them well in control. There have only been a few times in my past when I felt them go beyond my own control due to my emotional state. This most recent time... it was something different. Something more than just my emotions that caused them to go haywire.

[mucked]

Do you imagine it was purposeful? Something the Atroma had planned?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

The augment glitch? I am not so certain. It happened not long after we flew through that nebula to escape those enemy, alien craft. It was around the same time the ships themselves were experiencing their own issues. Perhaps, it was just a product of whatever was causing all of our technology to act up.

Then again, who knows how much control exactly Atroma has over anything that happens to us?

[mucked]

They certainly play that card rather close to their chests.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

One of many cards it seems.

[mucked]

While daring to flutter all of ours in front of the whole damned galaxy, one presumes. The audacity.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

It is hard when the deck is so stacked against you.

[mucked]

[ she laughs -- appreciating the word play. ]

Nevertheless, we will make do and mend.

[Wanda's smile gets a little bigger, glad to have made Peggy laugh. She nods her head in the affirmative. She then stands up, beginning to make her way out of the room. She stops at the door though, turning back to Peggy.]

If you need any help or if something comes up, let me know.
