Who: Sam Wilson & You
Broadcast: fleet-wide
Action: n/a
When: August 30th


[ this moment has been building, and sam is still a bit miffed he has to make it in the first place. but there’s only so much he can do with what’s been giving, and as much as he’s been trying to figure this out on his own-

he’s not going to say tony gave him the idea. he refuses to say tony gave him the idea. but, yes, tony definitely gave him the idea. ]

I’ve noticed that a lot of these ships tend to vary when it comes to defenses, teams, etc.

I’m in the market for some upgrades and wondering if there’s a point-person who’d be into coming by and giving a quote.

[ he knows he’s going to have to ask the big people upstairs about it, but any kind of person he can talk to before he is left to the whims of the producers, he would really really appreciate it. ]

Recommendations are appreciated. House-calls more so. Weapons experts? New best friend. Let me know.

[ hello, sam. ]

What has the Pathstone already purchased? In terms of upgrades, of course.

[ straight to the point, this one. ]

[ it's telling how honest he is going to be in this moment, but it's peggy. sam has no reservations with her. ]

As far as I can tell? None.

I haven't been able to find any kind of defensive system, protective weaponry, anything at all.

[ they're basically sitting ducks. made worse more interesting by their current....captain....status. ]

-- Bloody Aunt Nora.

[ decorum flies away in the face of such a realization. ]

Pool your payments, if you can. If anyone aboard the Pathstone has credits to spare, explain to them why the upgrades are worth the donation. Start with security -- creature comforts can wait.

What's your augment, Sam?

Is that an invitation, Captain Stark?

[ this isn't flirting. more like testing the waters (hah) and seeing whether she can get him on his back foot. ]

What ship are you on? I may be able to give some recommendations but I make no promises yet.

[He's needed a project of some sorts and he's interested in seeing what the other ships have in terms of weapons.]

[falcony]

Pathstone.

[ he's not sure how he feels about giving details to an anonymous text, but that's at least a level of information anyone could acquire.

[therewillbeorder]

[So not a ship that anyone he knew was on at this point. There could be a surprise but he'll take that risk cautiously.]

Very well.

What kind of weaponry does the Pathstone have currently? I can take a look to see what is currently and place and go from there. The technology for any upgrades may limited or simply not available but perhaps something could be cobbled together.

Honestly I have no idea. Do you really think you'll need it?

text

[falcony]

I'd rather have it and not need it than the alternative.

[outstandingbalance]

What? Tony hasn't tricked his ship out? I'm surprised.

text

[falcony]

Turns out there's a process and paperwork that Stark likes to keep clear of. Who knew.

[ oh hey nat. c: ]

[privatizes]

I don't have a couple billion dollars lying around to do it myself.

And I've been busy.

Doing other things.

For other people.

Wow. You legitimately want to make the Pathstone better?

[falcony]

Yes.

The Wonderduck has firearms and stuff like that but nothing fancy, anyway. We've never really needed our defenses, I guess. Guns are weird, though.

[ he's a stupid werewoof, he doesn't need guns. ]

[falcony]

[ oh precious child. lets keep those guns weird for you. ]

Any idea how it got those guns? Or what they're called?

My recommendations would depend on what your crew's most interested in. Since you're asking about weapons, I'd look into upgrading the shuttles.

They get bigger, and more importantly, you get more of them. Easier to bring things back home.

[falcony]

Hypothetically speaking, let's say weapons and defense.

Things like weapons from planets or what?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

I'm surprised Stark hasn't already modified the ship to his own tastes. I would have expected it to practically be painted red and gold by now.

[falcony]

We have a jacuzzi.

[ so yeah, tony's been 'making alterations'. just not the ones sam wants made. ]

Our last planet didn't have a whole lot of material to work with anyway.

Has Hiro Hamada been in touch with you? He should be able to help with some quality of life stuff, at least.

Assuming you're okay with robots.

[text]

[falcony]

He hasn't, but I take it he comes recommended.

[ brief flashbacks to ultron, massive world-wide destruction, etc etc etc. ]

Depends on the robot.

[Hi Sam. Meet your other pilot.]

What do you mean upgrade?

[No introduction. No explanation. Just suddenly a Cole standing next to you, as though he arrived by magic.]

Pathstone

[falcony]

[ oh. good. wonderful. ]

Additions. Things we can get attached onto our ship so we can do more than just fly around.

[ a pause, and then sam is turning slightly. ]

Have we met? Name's Sam.
