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!]

Were lucky.

[ It only just now occurs to her to make the correction. ]

I'm not interested in rejoining SHIELD, Skye. My loyalties were with Fury. I've been serving one organization or another my entire life: it's time I tried something new.

The Director anymore.

[ Her words are chosen carefully, preempting any chance for Skye to leak that particular secret by establishing something that could well be a result of his death. ]

Exactly.

If he weren't, Fury wouldn't have left SHIELD in his hands.

[ Natasha has feelings about what good guys are capable of, but this isn't the audience or the time. Besides, Steve's made himself an exception. Maybe her cynicism is overly harsh, in certain aspects. ]

It's not about Coulson. If he needs back-up, he knows how to get in touch with me.

May's more than enough specialist.

[ There are few people that Natasha holds in such high esteem. ]

If Coulson reaches out, I'll answer. But he hasn't yet. The dust is still settling. You might be surprised just how many of us know how to go underground; given the government's interest in the files I leaked, I don't blame the few loyal agents we had left for making themselves scarce. It's the only way to survive.

Not retiring, no. [ That earns a smile, though. Skye has a good head on her shoulders and a better sense of humor. ] But I've been taking orders all my life. [ She shrugs one shoulder, tilting her head calmly to the side. ] Maybe I'll see how the other side lives.

LMAO IT WAS ONLY THREE DAYS you know how long i take sometimes

Not in as many words, maybe.

[ Given her past, Natasha's not certain the title of superhero will ever sit comfortably on her. Privately contracted spy, maybe. Who is contracted by ... herself. It was too easy for her to wind up taking HYDRA's orders when she thought she'd switched sides: it's time she was her own side. ]

true BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE REGARDLESS

Some might argue it was at greater risk from my previous employers than from my personal interests.

HYDRA's red tape.

[ She'd gone from serving the KGB to serving HYDRA's interests, and even she'd never known it. That was her job: infiltrating. She should have recognized it when she saw it. Better to just take herself out of that game and set up a solo act than to chance that again. ]
