VIDEO (FLEETWIDE)

[ stern-faced, peggy appears upon the network. ] Does 'zero matter' mean anything to anyone? Pointed, I know, and a bit a long shot...but -- if there's anywhere I might find some resource or knowledge about such matters, then the fleet is my best hope. Otherworldly mysteries are not well within my wheelhouse.

[ there are other questions she could ask -- but no, zero matter might be the safest inquiry out of a great many others. and even then, it's barely safe at all. but it must be asked, for now she feels most preoccupied with the work conducted back home. the fleet is almost a secondary thought -- a distant, archaic priority. ]

Alternatively -- [ she sighs. until now, she hasn't been agent cater within the fleet, much preferring to be the more social and civilian version of herself. ] -- I wouldn't mind hearing a bit more about worlds. Different worlds, universes, what have you. I know none have been successful in creating a rift between this place and any other but -- surely, such rifts must exist elsewhere.

ACTION (STARSTRUCK)

[ long story short: peggy carter took a nasty spill inside one of the sr shuttles, and is now back on her feet after being out cold for nearly a day. on the surface, it seems like nothing's the matter. not seriously so, at least. but as she goes about her ship duties, there's a glassy-eyed quality to her gaze. it takes her a little too long to remember someone's name -- as though she's reaching back by weeks or maybe months to recall details she'd been living every day.

find her in the kitchen, where she's preparing one of her two or three or sometimes four daily cups of tea. or find her in the cargo bay where she's trying to use the recreational equipment. she quickly gives up on the punching bag because although she no longer has stitches holding her guts together, there persists a tight ache in the flesh. she settles for the treadmill.

wherever else she might be encountered, her crankiness is persistent. ordinarily patient with her crew, peggy's kindness has been thinning out all week. she appears tightly wound and disengaged. ]

...So. [And he frowns as he tries to make sense of that.] Your body stayed here, in a coma, but somehow you played out future events from your home, totally oblivious to all of this, that I'm guessing took longer than a day, right? And then woke up here and...well obviously you remember now.

[Just. Yeah. It helps for him to talk things out for them to make sense, so don't bother responding to any of that.]

Do you think it was real? What happened to you while you were unconscious? Do you believe it?

Shared memories could be a thing. [Not that he's trying to poke holes in Peggy's logic, but...it's worth considering that Atroma can fuck with their minds, isn't it? They certainly have no qualms about sticking implants in their head.

Howard Stark. Yeah. Like Tony Stark. Yeaaah. In the comics. But that kind of went over Peggy's head the first time he mentioned it so he just shakes his head instead.]


Doesn't exist.

[He nods.] Well, either way that's kind of disturbing. Sorry you ever had to come back. I mean...not that I want you in a coma. Or don't want you here. But, it's all so pointless that...

[He sighs and shrugs.] You know what I mean.

[He tries to break the bad mood with a comforting smile and he brings a hand out to squeeze her shoulder. Sorry, Peggy. He's a tactile guy, but he drops it back to his side immediately.]

You gonna be okay?

Yeah. [And he gives her a soft smile.] Yeah, I know you will be. You're a tough broad. But you know, if you ever wanna talk, my-my door is always open to you.
