Who: Starstruck crew and visitors
Broadcast: None
Action: The SS Trainwreck Starstruck
When: August

[It might be accurate to say that the crew of the Starstruck had spent the majority of the month prior avoiding each other, or people in general, but as we leave the hand holding planet perhaps the crew can get back to normal.

Whatever that means...]

[ Charles nods, somber. ]

Yes. They tapped into it and made it active again. It should no longer be a possibility now.

[ He'll make sure of that. ]

[uprightness]

-- How would they know how to do that? do you think it has anything to do with the augment?

[ it's worrying him more than most things. if the Atroma can look into Bucky's mind and activate an old programming left their by HYDRA, what else are they capable of? ]

-- do you think they can make people go off like that? people who aren't Winter?

[axiomed]

I . . .

[ He trails off, uncertain. ] I don't know. The augment is there, but I don't see it present in the mindscape of the person. It is possible they could but it's not as easy as it sounds.

[ Charles shrugs helplessly. ] I don't read people's minds on principle. I can't give you a proper answer.

[uprightness]

Is there a way to stop someone from doing that? entering your mind?

[ steve rogers, being a soldier, likes to think that each attack has its counter. it's simple battle logic. but what works on the field doesn't always work on the mind and he knows that, too. ]

Are there people who can repel that sorta thing?

[axiomed]

I could manage it. I don't know who else in the Fleet who could.

[ And isn't that always a bit depressing? Charles, the lone powerful telepath, always having to respect everyone's space and needs. His own rarely factor in. ]

[uprightness]

We're going to have to find another way, then.

[ it's not good news to anyone. they can't always rely on charles, no one deserves all that burden. but then, if they can access people's mind, who says the next person to try and attack anything that moves won't be Steve? ]

I want to say I will always try and keep everyone safe, but I'm not sure how to battle mind control.

[ the one time the avengers faced Wanda, they took their biggest hit, after all. ]

[axiomed]

There isn't a way. Not really.

[ There's no convenient helmet for people to use, after all. ]
