outer_divide | [text] Tuesday, Week 12

I have managed to acquire a laptop, if this is of interest to anyone. The operating system is entirely unfamiliar, but I'm learning my way around it. Unfortunately I only have one, and I intend to use it for further examination of the pods. But we can work something out if you want to use it. Additionally, if anyone wants to help me with this project, I would appreciate it.

Speaking of further examination of the pods...it seems Tony Stark is in his pod again, which explains why I haven't seen him until now. [Bruce has a lot of feelings about this, but he is firmly not thinking about them.]

[Locked to Erik]

Figuring out how to free someone from a pod is going to be a long and delicate process. If we try to force the pods open, I'm absolutely certain it will kill the person inside.

[Locked to Pepper]

[Well this is all kinds of awkward. But Bruce is worried about how she'll handle the news.]

Do you want some company?

((ooc: tags will be slow cause I have to work all day but they will happen! Still tagging his open log, too.))

[Pepper's answer takes an unusual amount of time in arriving, as video and audio options are considered and then, after a glance at herself in the reflection of a window pane, decided firmly against. Text, then, but then there comes the matter of what to say. The key logs she doesn't have would show a raft of sentences started, discarded and started again. In the end, it feels inadequate, but, in the end... would anything be otherwise?]

I think that, yes, I could very much use some right now.

[Another lengthy response-time passes, more questions asked and discarded (Is he hurt, is he breathing, is he alive?)and pared down to the bare essentials.]

Does he seem OK?

I may be able to be of some assistance examining the pods. I have some familiarity with similar technology.

I am sorry about your friend.

[Steve himself has mixed feelings about this. But it's not he who is important.]

How is Ms. Potts?

The one thing we have an abundance of here is time. If it starts to run out, we'll make more. Stark was here?

It seems like a lot of the time when people go missing they end up back in the pods somehow—Shep gave me a list sometime back and all but one of them were there. (Do they wander back or something in the middle of the night??? You'd think someone would notice)

If you want help poking at them, I'm happy to lend some computing power—my laptop's pretty good.

How much is known about the pods? [ Which may stand out very much as 'new arrival'. But need to know. Super need to know ]

I'd love to lend a hand. [Just the one, specifically.]
