Efforts are being made to fix the process that went wrong ( official term: terraforming )

Many years have passed since it did, however, the natives seem unsure if we can help.

They allow people into what they call the Cortex

the technology is unfamiliar.

[ the part that might hint towards this being a pure accident of a document uploaded onto the network rather than onto just one comm device will come next, just a bit more text and a few attached file ]

Yeah, those things.

I mean, they're probably not just any kind of gumball. But there was a goo substance that look just like some gumballs from Atroma we tested in the lab a few months ago. At least, how they looked after we melted them.

the machine runs on gumballs.

[ the moment when steve rogers literally cannot believe his life. ]

do we - have those gumballs on any of the ships?

[ Welcome to your new life Steve. It's nothing but weird. ]

I don't know. My ship sold our supply of them. [ Though now he feels like he should've asked for more money, God.] But maybe another ship still has theirs.

[ did the atroma knew when they gave the gumballs? they must have. that would mean they denied help of these people and for what? so that they could struggle to solve the puzzle by themselves? ]

I'll ask the different captains and I'll report back to you.

Thanks Steve, I'd appreciate that. Maybe if we're lucky, it can be a solution to helping these people.

It's definitely worth the try.

I'll start with my ship. I didn't see gumballs but Peggy would know if there are and where they would be.

[ you know. assuming she won't shoot him. ]

Ah, great! Good luck!

[Hope you don't get shot....]

The Starstruck sold all the gumballs it had.

I'll ask Tony, maybe the ship he's captain of hasn't.

[ because like it or not, Stark, you may be captain but he's not calling it your ship. ]

-- Tony?

You mean, Tony Stark?

He's a captain?

Yes

You've met Tony?

[ oh no. ]

Uh-

It was a long time ago, in...another place like this. I doubt he'd remember me. [hell, even if Tony remembered Paradisa, he doubt Tony would remember Allen. He seems like that kind of guy]

He never mentioned something like this before.

How is it possible, if you've met him?

Like I say, I doubt he remembers. Paradisa often would wipe people's memories when they left, or at least we thought it did. It's possible he was another version than the Tony you know altogether. Multiverse makes it confusing.

[Because I'm sure the thought of multiple Tonys is a comforting thought to Steve]

I didn't know him well personally. But he was one of those Superhero types - Iron Man? So he was well known. Probably even one of the more liked ones of the lot. [Which, it may be clicking for Allen now that Steve might be one of those types too, between knowing Tony and his general attempts to be helpful. It also occurs to him that maybe he should tread carefully on the topic of superheroes since he really doesn't have anything against Steve personally.] The tech he made was really useful, and he didn't act like he had the moral high-ground shoved up his arse all the time unlike some of the others.

[Nah.]

[ steve's line of thoughts goes to several tonys in the same place and he's forming a migraine. thanks, allen ]

I bet it'l mean a lot to him to hear you say that.

[ he'll probably turn it to mock Steve, but what can you do. ]

[Anytime Steve]

I'd imagine. I think I'll pass on telling him. [He's got enough of an ego, if he's like the one Allen knew]

But yes. Please let me know if he knows if they have any gumballs left.

Probably a good call.

[ the title of captain already did enough damage. they won't ever live this down ]

I will. I guess that means we should keep a little of whatever the Atroma will give us next.
