Who: Tony Stark

privatizes and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: S.S. Pathstone.
When: Now!

[ tony is currently on board the pathstone, if you want to bother him in person. sitting in his captain's chair and fiddling with something in his hands, as he usually is. he's been working on a large variety of projects lately, including (but not limited to): a hovering wheelchair, reversal of brain control, and trying to reinvigorate his arc reactor that the emotional tree of life had given him for holding hands.

god, he misses home.

but as his current projects are 1) a work in progress, 2) practically non-exsitent, and 3) almost there (in that respective order), tony requires the help of the population. especially since he doesn't have the engineering augment and the pathstone lacks an engineer. figures, right? god.

anyway -- ]

Soooo...

[ he pauses ]

-- I'm just going to cut to the chase and say that I need stuff, and you all might have that stuff. You should give it to me so I can make even better stuff. It's going to be for the good of the general population, I promise. [ no, really ] And -- who do I have to kill to get an engineer on board? Because this would all be a hell of a lot easier if I had what Atroma considered an engineer on board.

[ is tony stark still salty over the fact that he is not, apparently, considered an engineer by the standards of the atroma? you bet your ass he is. ]

The list is gonna be sent out in a text -- if you want to part with any of it or trade for stuff, let me know. I'm Tony Stark. Captain of the Pathstone. Don't ask me why I am, or how I got there. The question is getting old. Thanks.

[ and the video feed cuts, only for a text to be sent out: ]

[ NEEDED.TXT]

- soldering iron
- spark plugs
- electrical tape
- copper wiring
- steel (approx. 4.5 kgs, can be scrap metal)
- batteries (any size, lithium ion)

[ and, once that is sent out, an additional encrypted feed pops up: ]

[encrypted to: the pathstone + the avengers]

[ tony holds up one of the bugging devices between his fingers, lips pursed into a frown ]

Captain speaking. Or... whatever -- found this in the communications station, and no, I didn't ask permission before I yanked it out because I don't have to.

[ somewhat blithely ]

I haven't taken it apart yet, but if you find any more of them on board, hand them over and I'll see what I can do. No one weird has been on or off the ship that I know of, and I checked the logs. Anybody else have any solid ideas about where it came from, because I'm betting the answer begins with 'A' and ends with 'troma', and that's probably not good.

[ pause ]

Oh, and my superhero friends can see this, so if you're going to spill any deep dark secrets to me, in the pretense of honesty, I guess I should probably let you know that Captain America will know about it.

[ another pause ]

So. Anybody? Bueller?

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Damn it.

Do we even have a protocol for plutiny?

Am I supposed to throw you in the brig or something?

What's Float Chair 1.0?

[ and more importantly, what was used to build it ]

An Atari.

[ at least he made a culturally sensitive reference, right

also he's not making an atari but ]

you don't even know standard protocol on your own ship??

shaaaaame

She can do both, I'm sure.

Well, my heat vision offer is still on the table if the soldiering iron doesn't work out.

It's a cheap power source that lasts.

[ which is really all there is to it ]

Lithium ion batteries are pretty common where I come from, but who knows what sort of technology people have stashed away up here. Taking them apart and putting them back together and extracting what I need out of them would be easy in a decent lab -- I'm really just experimenting with what I've got. Or might have.

You know what? That's a good point.

I'm the captain, I can make my own protocol.

I could sentence you to bathroom cleaning for a week for your attempted plutiny if I felt like it.

Or worse -- I could make you go deal with Crowley.

who the fuck is that

[this is what happens when she doesn't bother to get to know anyone on her own ship smh]

anyways counterpoint: i've been here like twice as long as you so i outrank you even if you're technically """captain"""

(please note sarcastic excess of quotation marks)

[he appreciates the effort, so he'll play along]

Miss Pong that much, hm?

the awesome float chair we made for charles it uses repulsorlifts instead of antigrav cause no one other than me has used antigrav and i'm not an engineer but it still works great

Awww, that's nice. My friend Twilight's super modest about the princess thing too. She doesn't really have any servants, though.

[Mostly because her appointment's pretty recent.

And she'll just settle for Prince Steve, she's not one for formalities anyway.]

[As the pilot of the Pathstone... Cole is often not even board the ship, because he parks them next to other ships and goes visiting. Sorry about that.

But he's on board now! He has a small entourage of fluff slugs living on his hat, peeking over the brim.

He curls up into the pilot's seat and starts turning in slow circles.]

What's a battery?

I'm surprised anyone here had the knowledge about that level of technology.

I would be curious to see what people may have here as well since what I've been able to find has been severely lacking to say the least. What have you managed to make here so far though?

... As you say, then.

I wish you luck with your endeavor, Mr. Stark.

give you spark plugs for extra food rations

cans, nonperishables

Lithium batteries? What are you, living in the dark ages?

Isn't he a delight?

[ this is going to make up for every single time steve told tony to take out the trash at the avengers headquarters ]

He's going to love this. I appreciate your help. Really getting me out of a tight bind here.

Thanks, Lady-I-Don't-Know.

[ at least he's quasi-polite ]

-- Oh, right, I forgot. My name is Aria. It is a pleasure to meet you.

I prefer to control it myself. I have a better feel for what I need to do.

[ even the robots tony built don't line things up precisely how tony likes them; he prefers using his own hands ]

But thanks anyway.

Yeah, sure.

What are you making?

Right, gotcha.

Why do you need Float Chair 2.0 if you have Float Chair 1.0?

Guy who used to be captain and isn't captain anymore because I'm the captain.

Uh, do you have a rank? Are you 'Older Not-Captain'? Are you even a lieutenant? No?

So your """"""""opinion"""""""" is basically meaningless, and so is your plutiny.

Edited 2016-08-11 16:33 (UTC)

You have no idea how much better my life would be with Pong.

[ no seriously ]

It's pretty basic, in my world. It powers everything from laptops to a cell phone.

[ there's a pause ]

I haven't really been able to create anything that I need -- Atroma took away all of my fun toys. [ like his suit ] I'm also missing the engineer augment, so taking apart the ship is a no-go until I get someone to let me into the fun toy closet. But basic repulsor lifts and the like are pretty easy with the right tools.
