VOICE

--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.

And yet you appear to be rather well informed. What is this Blue Area, exactly? And what purpose would Mr. Stark have in investigating it?

[getoffmyearth]

[Shit Sue he doesn't know you well enough for this third degree.]

I don't know, he's Tony Stark and that's what scientists-slash-heroes do?

[ancilla]

[ well..................... okay. ]

I suppose that's accurate.

[getoffmyearth]

Good to know some things don't change that much. But if he's not interested whenever you find him, don't worry about convincing him or anything. We can probably cover it all on our own. And if he asks, it's the Invisible Woman's idea in the first place.

I have noted this information. I shall relay it to Mr. Stark when most prudent. What is your name?

[getoffmyearth]

Uh, it's Star-Lord.

[Can A.I.'s laugh? Don't laugh, JARVIS.]

[ancilla]

Star-Lord.

[ there's a definite pause, but who knows if it's from amusement or... y'know. actually cataloging information. ]

Noted. Quite an exotic name.

[getoffmyearth]

I didn't pick it, and nobody will allow me to get rid of it. Seems to be more widely known anyway.
