[Text] Thursday, Week 24

Looking for a few people equipped for surviving in low-oxygen environments to help with engine excavation. Must be capable of heavy lifting. Reply here if interested.

[The following is locked to the Avengers, the Normandy folks, and Tosh]
We need to set up a meet re: possibilities for handling our neighbors.

Could I help?

[He fits both qualifications, after all.]

[Have a considering look.]

How are you with tight spaces? It can get pretty narrow at a few points after the collapse.

That....might be a problem. [Again, just like the island missions. His size is always an issue.] But I'm sure I could be of some use?

Up for some light construction? We have to shore up the passages anyways. If we widen them at the same time, it should get you past the worst of the blockages.

[And means that they'll be able to get things out, too.]

Mister Stark.

[That's a greeting, by the way.]

I do not require as much air as many do. As long as the work takes place after dark, I can be available for heavy lifting and small spaces, both.

[And, while he's here....]

Also, if it is convenient, I would like to speak with you at some point about that 'gift' I left you a couple weeks ago.

Not as much, or none?

[Look, don't think he cares about your safety or anything, Lyall, he just knows Pepper would kill him if anything happened. Honest.]

How time-critical is it?

I could certainly do that.

Can I ask what our goal is? How are we going to hide what we're doing from the Authorities?

Sometime before the next full moon, preferably, so we have a couple weeks.

[Watch him switch subjects around to what you mentioned last, Tony. And don't worry, he isn't thinking you care.]

Regarding the breathing, I breathe less frequently than a human would, and can hold my breath for much longer.

[Not to mention he wouldn't actually die of suffocation. Just drag him out if he passes out, and he'll recover just fine. Regeneration is awesome, but not really something he'll mention on an unencrypted channel.]

[The feed dies and picks up again a few moments later.]

The hull of the ship blocks their view. I'm working on a more permanent solution, but we're on a time limit. We need to get to the main power station and get it operational before those pods go offline for good.

I'll make some time.

Get a work-up with one of the doctors. Once we know how long you'll last in that environment, we'll set up a night crew.

[Oh. Right. Security. Wing gives a bit of a belated wince at his own lack of thought.]

It does seem things are deteriorating there. There seem to be...things happening on the ship.

Define "things". [The flicker of unease across his face is easy to miss, but there nonetheless - he'd been writing off the strange, crawling feeling of being watched as mild hallucinations stemming from the composition of air in the ship, but if the anomalies are affecting someone who shouldn't be able to be drugged, or at least drugged the same way a human might be...]

It just seems...unpleasant there. I worry that someone's on the ship, eluding me. [He's chased after skittering shadows, only to find empty corridors. It was unnerving.]

I will do so, thank you.

[And maybe they can talk about the collar when they talk about this night shift. Or whenever Tony lets him know he has that made time, whichever works out best.]

I've done some exploring for one reason or another over the last few months. I highlighted some good quiet locations for a get-together, if you're interested.

Considerably more available time with plague dissipating. Cause for investigations.

My schedule's wide open.

How low oxygen? And how soon? Because I'd probably need a bit to scrounge up enough parts to throw together a solution. Don't know where the good pickings are hereabouts, y'know? Damn me for not having my environment suit along when I got space kidnapped. Not that it had an oxygen tank to begin with, but it'd help. I'll find something.

[Indrani might not quite get the point of texting.]

I may be able to offer some assistance.

I'll defer to Major Alenko as far as the locations of our meet and greet go, but sooner is better than later to set this up.

Probably just rats. Or the lights.

[Yeah, he doesn't sound entirely convinced, either.]

Who's waiting around? Just need to get all the cats in one bag.

[Apparently, Tony's thinking the same thing - he signs off without another word.]

Follow the X.

[There is a time, too. Let us handwave in deference to OOC schedules.]

Need eyes on, or would remote sampling suit your purposes?
