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!]

This is way beyond my field of knowledge and already into speculative fiction to be honest, Kitty. Maybe there just isn't enough time? Maybe it's a glitch? I mean, given the fact that we seem to age here but then haven't aged at all when we go home, the two bodies theory has some weight to it, but... beyond that, I couldn't tell you.

Sometimes it seems as though it would be easier to just throw up my hands and go, "All right, I'm mad, that's all there is for it."

[hackitude]

LOL right?

That would just be too easy, though.

[rathercommon]

And...I don't know. I don't want to say less fun, exactly, because this is certainly not FUN. But it's an interesting sort of mystery, isn't it?

[hackitude]

Put it this way: it's one of those mysteries to which I really want the answer and yet also simultaneously don't.

[rathercommon]

Really? I don't know. I don't think there's any part of me that doesn't want to know. But...to be fair, I also think this is more neat and exciting than anything else, while some people have really been sort of traumatized by being brought here.

[hackitude]

Let me just say, I've read enough weird sci-fi to know that the answer might be too freaky to contemplate.

[rathercommon]

Well, if it's that freaky, think how much it'll expand our understanding of the universe to learn of it.

[hackitude]

Also... true.

[rathercommon]

So that's a bit exciting, isn't it?

[hackitude]

Yeah. A bit.
