o1;; You didn't see that coming?

[silvercast]

Who: Pietro & You!
Broadcast: yes
Action: SS Bloodsport
When: Right now

[ Video;; ]
[ The video feed shakes, the audio cracking as the communicator is moved around. The broadcasting image so far is the floor, covered in multicolored confetti, and a pair of black and grey running sneakers in view. The left foot taps impatiently before the video swings again to the bridge of the Bloodsport. ]

[ There is a sigh before heavily accented voice accompanies the shoddy cameraman-ship. ] If this is someone's idea of a prank, it lacks humor.

[ The communicator finally turns around, and Pietro is very firmly not happy with this situation. ]

I have complaints.


[ SS Bloodsport;; ]
[ Pietro can be found in various places throughout the Bloodsport. In the kitchen, trying to figure out what the deal with protein paste is. The bridge offers a bit of a distraction with the endless sea of stars or the array of broadcast settings, and how can he resist settling into the bunks? It's been a very long time since he's had his own room. ]

How much more controlled than 'stuck in metal tubes going nowhere' do they need?

[ Honestly, he doesn't really like this ratings system. Especially if it means these Atroma are going to fuck with them. ]

All I've been told about the augments is not to tamper with it. I'm inclined to believe it. [ If that small pit in his gut is anything to go by whenever he touches it. ]

I don't know, kid, I'm not the one who made the game.

[ pause ]

And yeah, don't go digging around in your brainmeat unless you want to give yourself a lobotomy. And if you do want to give yourself a lobotomy, we've got a guy.

Oh, you have a 'lobotomy guy'? Is he on retainer for the possible situation one is needed?

[ Tony, wtf. ]

I assure you, I hadn't thought about digging into my brainmeat, either.

The Avengers don't have a lobotomy guy, but if there wasn't a lobotomy guy in this ragtag group of lunatics in space, I would be surprised. -- and every ship, nearly, has medical support, and they probably know how to do a lobotomy. We have multiple guys. Or girls. It's the twenty first century.

[ tony shut the fuck up ]

I guess some people have tried it and met with an ugly end. Generally not advised.

I can assume they don't want us to meddle with it. If it's how they give us information, there must be more to it.

I was told people have gotten hurt because of it? These augments hurt people, too?

Well, they're little chips burrowed into your brain. The brain's a sensitive thing. One poke and you can die. So on and whatever.

We've had minor issues. And by minor, I mean -- people have been stabbed. But everyone is alive and fine. We're working on some safety protocols to make sure no one gets throw at a wall again. It's a work in progress.
