Who: Tony Stark & OPEN
Broadcast: None
Action: SS Starstruck
When: Now

[Remember your ship mechanic? The one who showed up, complained a little, talked a big game, and them retreated to the engine room for two weeks? Well he's back. Back and full of science.]

Whoever's been leaving food by the door, just know that you deserve a raise.

Comments

[housepartyprotocol]

Depends, was that person you? Because it kinda sounds like it was you.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

Would that change your opinion on whether they should receive a raise?

[housepartyprotocol]

Uh, nope. Not even a little. All my money is gone, so it's pretty much all just talk.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

That's what I thought.

[She then smirks a little, the idea of THE Tony Stark broke is somewhat amusing.]

We are all without money. So at least you are not alone.

[housepartyprotocol]

Yeah, about that. Something about illegal cargo?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

Something like that. We all felt it was best to leave it well enough alone.

[There's a moment before she adds:]

I do not sense anything living inside. They are likely harmless...

[Still, there is lingering doubt in her voice.]

[housepartyprotocol]

Can we get into it? Somebody's tried, right? Leaving it alone is good, but so is poking it with a stick.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

It would take a tremendous amount of force to open it by hand. And we have been warned by Atroma that there would be "consequences" for violating the terms of our contract with our "client."

[Wanda's clearly not buying Atroma's bit about this, and she is just as on-edge about the mysterious cargo as Tony likely is. However, the crew had decided to more or less leave them be, and she wasn't about to go behind their backs.]
