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!]

exaaaaactly. we'd be just as bad as the lightning in that case.

[boobwindow]

At least yours is unintentional? The precision of these lightning strikes is... suspicious.

[microbrobotics]

you think someone's doing it on purpose? how?

[boobwindow]

I'm not sure. I mean, it could also be a freak storm, but it's incredibly RARE to be struck by lightning in your lifetime.

[microbrobotics]

... much less only imports getting hit, huh.

superpower, maybe. or a generator somewhere.

[boobwindow]

Is it just imPorts? I haven't heard about civilians, but no one may have reported it yet.
Superpowers seem likely, but I don't know how it accounts for the memories. Unless their brains have been fried.

[ Which... could be irreversible. ]

[microbrobotics]

maybe i can't assume that without more data ... but i haven't seen anything yet. oughta be something on the news if there was, right?

we're working on a way to fix them too.

[boobwindow]

Exactly.
Whatever is going on, I don't like it.

[microbrobotics]

me neither. let me know if you figure anything out and i'll get the nerd squad on it.

uh, who are you by the way?

[boobwindow]

Sorry.
It's Power Girl.

[microbrobotics]

OH hey you're that superhero! sorry didn't recognize your comm tag.

[boobwindow]

I should really replace the anonymous tag with my actual mantle. It makes conversations difficult sometimes.
Your partner is telling me this vaccine isn't safe at all.

[microbrobotics]

yeah well i get it though. you won't see me waltzing around with my last name on the network outside of stuff like this.

uhhhh she's right that it is in trials. but it's as safe as anything can be for that.

[boobwindow]

I really hope so.
