Who: You! Me! Everybody!
Broadcast: idk but we've sure got a pretty broad cast of folks eh, eh
Action: HECK YEAH PLANET MINGLE
When: 10/7 until plot update or recaptcha

It's a deep, deep forest filled to the brim with fungi, mysterious life forms, and pitch black darkness. Explore if you dare and discover all these things and more! Just don't get lost...

I was wondering about that. Seems like it would be a danger.

[They are having a very professional conversation here, Rogers. And it's not about you. Isn't that good enough?]

Thought maybe you'd use a barrier.

[She smiles a little.]

Clearly I shouldn't underestimate your tools.

It knocks them out?

[ he does have to snort a bit, why is even surprised? he looks back at the pair of them ]

How much of that stuff needs to be -

[ you know what, no. it's probably one of honestly-don't-need-to-know questions. ]

Nevermind.

[ don't worry, steve. if peggy has her way, she'll have sweet dreams 003 in her possession soon enough and she can offer demonstrations. ]

We have good gadgetry at the SSR. And if there's something I can't source through them, I know I can always lean on Howard. [ ... ] I'm sure the tools are different, but I imagine it's much the same in 2015. [ a pause while she eyes natasha. ] Or 2016.

When everything's going well.

[Right now, back home, Natasha can't exactly reach out to Tony or SHIELD.

But the Black Widow wouldn't be entirely without resources.]


Even when you don't have gadgets, there's a lot a good agent can do.

In the end, they're just that, gadgets, technology, they're props. What makes a good - soldier, agent, anything, is thinking on their feet and having their hearts in the right place. technology changes, that those things don't.

[ two cases in point are his company today, as it happens. ]

Are you giving a masterclass, Captain Rogers?

I think he's looking for an excuse not to modernize.

It has nothing to do with that -

[ dryly, as close as he can get to an eye roll. ]

It's just that we shouldn't be dependent on those. Everyone got technology, we've got people, that matters more.

There are times when you need something a little more subtle than a right hook. [ ... ] And a lot more admissible in court than your photographic memory.

[ she wags a finger. ] Like when you need to bug an exclusive villainous and secret society when they don't exactly allow women through their doors.

She has you on that one, Steve.

She usually does.

[ he admits at once. ]

Which goes to show the importance of having a team, really.
mucked: (☂ but it's still no way to behave)

[ -- did he just turn this around into a lesson on teamwork? oh her giddy aunt nora... ]

Some days, I pity your recruits.

Oh, don't. At least not for that.

[They put up with a lot worse.]
