Experiment 001 // Video (backdated to Thursday morning, Week 34)

[That's just a little disconcerting, to wake up in a pod, and memories, hazy at first, then firming, of another awakening, and time passing before she is swallowed by darkness. Jane sits up, and hurries out of the pod, clothes just slightly rumpled, her notebook and the device firmly in hand. She steps out of the ship, before turning to her device, and flips it on.]

Question. Hi. It's Jane Foster, and I think I've returned. So back to the question, how long have I been gone and is Pepper still here?

[if Jane could puff up like a cat, she would. Even though she has agreed to share resources with them, they still needed to earn her respect. She's nto fond of intellectual theft.]

I'm familiar with the group. Would an Agent Coulson ring any bells, Pepper?

[oh so neutral]

[Pepper's expression grows introspective at that, and although she's noticed Jane's sudden arched back and metaphorical hissing, her own voice is quiet and a little sad.]

Phil... pretty much saved my life, when he was Agent Coulson. He became Phil later, when we bonded over handling Tony.

Ah. I didn't have that experience. I met him when he was stealing every bit of my research including my equipment. He and his agents were kind enough to leave me my van and the furniture. [Jane settles down, but she's still a little peeved] Thor helped me get it all back, and they're helping me now, or was before I showed up here.

I... can see how that would make for a different sort of relationship. I'm glad you got things sorted out. I mean, I respect and like Phil a lot, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with everything SHIELD does or stands for.

Well, they do have their uses now, but they could use some nicer tactics. Not everyone is out to get them.

It's a security thing, I think. Anyone whose field revolves around dealing with large quantities of people out to get them, or get the people they're protecting, runs the risk of losing their ability to see the big picture... but, on a big picture note, I'm glad you're back, and I'm especially glad that you and Thor can actually be on the planet and up at the same time.

That is true, Pepper. And I'm glad Thor is here too. We didn't get nearly enough time the last time he was on Earth.
