--Ah, good, I believe I've managed to coerce this connection to work properly. Splendid.

[ hello everyone! a rather measured voice of a man is apparently addressing the network this fine evening! he doesn't seem particularly startled... ]

Hello. I've received all the proper information regarding this ... lovely situation we've all somehow gotten into. It's quite remarkable, all things considered.

[ there's no pause for breath, no sound of shuffling... he must be a rather well-practiced speaker!! ]

After some review of this network, I realize Mr. Stark resides among us, is that correct? Sir, if you can hear me, please respond. I'm quite disoriented. [ was he being serious? hard to tell. ]

In the extremely likely situation in which Mr. Stark disregards my message, I would appreciate anyone capable of garnering his attention to do so. I apologize for the trouble.

Stark's around here somewhere, though if you're actually trying to get something out of him - good luck.

[someone does not have high expectations for Tony here]

[ancilla]

You speak as if you know him quite personally, yet I have no recollection of your file... Who might you be?

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Nathan Summers. And I don't know him personally, exactly - just had enough run-ins. Sort of. Multiverses and all.

[Who has not realized JARVIS is an AI and not a polite old man in this incarnation? This X-Man right here]

[ancilla]

I see. If I am understanding, you are from a different timeline than I, is that correct?

[ that's ok he'll figure it out soon enough... ]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

If you know the Tony Stark that's here right now, yeah.

[ancilla]

That's certainly upsetting. [ MORE THAN ONE TONY??? how will he keep track of them all!! ]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I suppose that's one adjective you could use.

[WELCOME TO THE MULTIVERSE, Jarvis. Your Tony has done less dumb shit than the Tony Nate knows best, though]

[ancilla]

I find it to be most accurate in describing the thought of various realities that Mr. Stark is running rampant in. [ he's kidding.



really. ]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

If it makes you feel better, I don't know any that let him be in charge.

...Well, for any length of time, anyway.

[ancilla]

That is rather reassuring, yes.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

For everyone, I think, except maybe Stark himself.
