001 } Can't keep my eyes from circling skies.
Who: Howard Stark & You
Broadcast: Network
Action: SS Bishop (cockpit)
When: Right meow!
( OPEN BROADCAST )
[ howard has been here a few days, enough to suss out that something has happened. it's caused a bit of disquiet among his crewmembers already since apparently their captain died or something?! whatever. he's finding it disturbingly easy to fall back into this role. peggy told him how long it's been and who else is among them, but in usual peggy fashion: not much else. it's left him bereft and even a bit listless which is very uncharacteristic indeed.
he sets his communicator on the control panel so he can record as he flies. as a result, the feed is much more low-key and features a cool, collected version of howard those who know him might not expect. howard nods his head once to show that he is in fact recording on purpose. ] I hope my Huntress is in good hands. Though I guess... she isn't mine anymore. Forgive me, I'm usually not so bittersweet when saying goodbye to a lady friend. [ something of a wan look shadows his gaze, but it's quick, just a glimmer really. ]
Howard Stark. Ace inventor, innovator, pilot, and now director. [ a bit of a lopsided grin begins to spread across his lips, his mustache twitching with the movement. ] I'm also usually pretty charming if you can believe it. I would say you all missed me, it's been so long, but the turnover in this place is something else.
[ he hesitates over this next part, but he needs the intel. he knows questions will follow, but right now he doesn't care. later he'll be annoyed with himself, naturally. ] And if any of you used to know a Tony Stark or are holding his research... get in touch. [ tightly: ] Please.

Hi-de-ho, old pal. [ a warm smile is reserved for his closest friend, even if he doesn't always treat him that way. or most of the time. whoops. ]
( ACTION SHENANIGANS )
Howard has been more-or-less just going through the motions since being assigned to the Bishop. He was actually a bit releaved to be off the Marsiva and have something to occupy his time with, truthfully. But with their captain MIA and everything more than slightly hectic, he's thrown himself into the work full on. He can really only be found in the cockpit or in his quarters for maybe two hours a night/morning. Even trips to the galley are extremely short-lived and involve toting snacks to the pilot's seat. With that said, he will be outspoken when matters of the ship come up that the captain would usually handle. It's easy for him to become attached and though he doesn't know these people yet, he feels responsible for them.
He hates responsibility.

[Like hell he's claiming to be any sort of a decent engineer to a Stark.]
no subject
[ he can glean that that's a team of some sort, but doesn't know much else. a team his son, tony, was on. but now isn't? or the team isn't? he isn't clear on the details. ] Nice to meet you, Sam. [ it's warm, despite all the details. he's mainly focused on making allies right now. ] Which ship?
no subject
[The closest augment to his skillset back home is arguably pilot, but Sam's...not exactly a pilot.]
Starstruck. I was originally on the Heron, but I transferred over.
no subject
That Carter runs a tight ship, bold move.
no subject
[He knows Peggy's probably spying on this conversation right now.]
Had to keep an eye on Steve, though. I'm not sure even Peggy's enough to keep him out of trouble.

[There is, of course, the question of whether or not he's technically Captain America, but Sam's not going to bring that up to a near-stranger.]
Although I really gotta come up with something more impressive-sounding for my resume.

[Look, he's not technically a criminal. Well, okay, he is. But not the bad kind of criminal!]
no subject
I might know a thing or two about that, pal. Hang in there, you'll clear your name. [ he has to trust that tony is already on that... somehow, and without being able to confirm it with him directly. natasha made it seem like his son was their only shot for getting out of this mess. ]
