[A brief text message appears on the consoles. It's directed at the Foreigners, but it's not encrypted, nor has Tony disguised his console ID. All that's unusual about it is that it's text: Tony almost always uses the video setting.]


How many of you have been seeing other people's memories? Does anyone know why it's happening? Is it happening to kedan too, or just Foreigners?

Most important question: is it over??

at this point, I wouldn't be surprised.

maybe the answer to all of this is that the Dreaming just has a really twisted sense of humor.

I think I can buy into that. We do get a certain level of WEIRDNESS on the regular. It's probably having a real laugh at our collective expenses.

what a jerk. I'm gonna find out if it has a face, and if it does, I'm gonna punch it.

[purrns]

Agreed. I think that'd work better than a strongly worded letter, anyway.

strongly worded letters aren't really my thing, Roberta always takes care of those. but I'm pretty good at punching.

Secretrary? And yeah, I can see where punching has it's merits.

lawyer. probably the best one there is.

[Not that he's biased or anything. But, hey, you don't get to be the personal lawyer of Howard Stark, CEO of Stark International, unless you're really damn good at your job.]

Trish is my dad's secretary. she can be pretty scary too, but if my dad sics Roberta on you you're in for a really bad time.

[He just said strongly worded letters aren't his style. He never said they can't be frighteningly, ruthlessly effective.]

Oh wow, neat!

I know a secretary I wouldn't want to cross, either. Well, I guess she's more a personal assistant than anything else, but wow that lady is something fierce.

yep. that's pretty much everyone my dad hires. if the whole board of directors quit one day and we replaced them with his staff I bet no one would notice.

[A scenario which Tony miiiight have fantasized about once or twice. His relationship with the Board has occasionally been... fraught.]

Sounds about right. I mean, if you want things to get done, those are the sort of people you look at.
