Hey all. Quick PSA:

Over at StarkTech there's a team of us that are working on a solution to some of the weird ~memory shenanigans~ that you might have seen around lately. We're no closer to a cure, but I'm pretty sure we HAVE now successfully got a working prototype for a "vaccine" of sorts. Basically we've figured out how to upgrade the imPort nanites to protect anyone else from getting false memories implanted in their head and believing that they're real.

If you want to swing by StarkTech any time this week, we'll be happy to fix you up. Free lollipop for people who come in, and it doesn't take any time at all. You can pop in over a lunch break.

The project's being headed by Jemma Simmons, Hiro Hamada, and me-- hi, I'm Skye, if we haven't met before. We'll be rotating different shifts, so you might not see all of us, but one of us will be around.

[Kick off for the memory sharing plot! Again, you don't have to have commented to this post to participate. Feel free to assume your character went in and saw one of them, or if you aren't comfortable handwaving having met one of them off screen, you can always say a random faceless lab-tech saw to you instead! Feel free to comment in here if you feel your character would though, or if they have questions, and network threads can always transition to action threads if you feel like playing it out. Skye, Hiro and Jemma will be out and about in places. Peace out!]

yes but as far as im aware those nanites dont already come with a program that rejects any intrusion by unfamiliar brain patterns
and i understand it youre introducing that one

which brings up an interesting thought
would it also nullify telepathy

[microbrobotics]

dunno! wanna test it and find out?

[glowsferatu]

while the risk that the majority of my identity will be erased

[ it's almost tempting. losing that much of herself could give her a largely fresh start, given all the memories put at risk. but at such a high cost. the idea is...frightening to her, honestly. ]

i doubt theyd let you give such a gift to inmates

[microbrobotics]

uh. i don't think it'd be that bad? i hope not.

and wow how'd you get thrown in jail. is it for texting like that?

[glowsferatu]

ill thank you to keep your racism to yourself
its an important cultural practice where im from

and it wasnt anything terribly concerning just kidnapping violent crime and conducting experiments on innocent civilians

[microbrobotics]

wow okay dial it back tumblr.

and ... uh ... that's a heck of a rap sheet.

[glowsferatu]

try living on an alien planet for four years
im sure it will make you a little sensitive [ oversensitive ] too

but you know how it is
a supervillain cant play around
theres always more for her to do

[microbrobotics]

are we the aliens in this situation or you?

so .. uhhh ... what do you want? you're not here to hold our vaccine for ransom are you?

[glowsferatu]

thats why "alien" is such a useless term its too dependent on the subjective perspective of the person speaking
so yes in this situation humans are the aliens and earth is the alien planet

and i should hope you arent genuinely worried about that
bit difficult to hold anything for ransom from behind bars
