So it occurs to me that there are different forces at work here, among even the imPort population. I confess to have no real understanding of these political intricacies, but feel as though it's important to remain aware of the influences permeating our own subculture of sorts. So far RISE and the Justice League have been spoken of in passing, but what are these organizations and are there any others? An overview would be appreciated.
I feel I should also express my thanks to those that met with myself and my colleague last month before the swear-in, as well as to those that assisted us during the event itself. We are most grateful. We've decided to take employment at StarkTech for the time being, where we'll be heading up a new biotechnological division.
[A little later, an additional notation pops up]
Never will I understand the desire to erect a wall in the face of opposition.

D-doctor Hermann Gottlieb. My colleague is Doctor Newton Geiszler. We wouldn't have made it out of there if not for your timely intervention, Mr. Rogers. [And dammit Newton, he can't follow that up with much now that it could be suggestive]
You're well acquainted with Mr. Stark?
video;
[ Hey, what kind of superhero would he be if he couldn't even rescue people from their own potential embarrassment? ]
It's a little complicated, but yeah — we know different versions of each other in our own worlds. We get on about the same, though.
[ Meaning they get on like cats and dogs, but he'll just leave that bit out. ]
video;
Well I appreciate the offer, though Mr. Stark has been rather accommodating thus far.
video;
[ The way he says it, it's clear he mostly just accepts the concept rather than fully grasping it — but for him, that's the best he can get with something like theoretical physics. ]
He's got a keen eye for good business; if he's picked you two up, you must really know your stuff, especially if he's got you heading up your own division aleady.
video;
He wonders if there's an alternate version of himself where things had gone differently out there somewhere, but as ever when it comes to these things, it's a discomfiting consideration.]
But yes, I'd rather like to think so. [And that's about as modest as he gets as far as 'knowing his stuff' goes. Going to unintentionally mirror Newton's offer here] If there's ever anything we could assist you with, I'll make every effort to ensure we're able to do so.
video;
If something pops up, I'll let you know — but I'll let you know now, you don't owe me anything for what happened. Honestly.

which he absolutely refuses to do.
sorry if he looks vaguely irritated for no clear reason, he's just silently projecting his aggravation to Newton through their weird psychic link]
No matter. It was a gesture of goodwill on your part, and I'd like to be able to offer the same- if under less distressing circumstances, if at all possible
video;
I'll keep you in mind, Doc. I'd say you can buy the first round sometime, but I'm not much of a drinker.
[ The stuff does nothing for him, after all — and he's just not the type to spend enough cash to get the kind of liquor that you'd actually get just for the taste. Growing up in the Great Depression does that to a guy. ]
And likewise, if you or your associate need anything while you're here, go ahead drop me a line.

Moderate horror, because reconciling the two as separate people is now complicated]
Good God Newton, that is ancient. Why on Earth!
private
Because!
Oh, come on, dude. Hermann and Steve, sitting in a tree~ I never got to do this as a kid. You have to let me now. It's part of the Best Friend Agreement.
Turnabout is fair play, okay. You can do it when I'm a smitten kitten, too. But for now, that poor sod is you and you'll have to endure it, MY NEW ROOMIE.

It won't hurt you to have a crush, ok. Nice to know we both still, I don't know, notice people after all those years staring at Kaiju guts and numbers and each other. People! People are out here, Hermann! And some of them are damn fine specimens! It's okay to look and to like what you see!
private
Is that why you're acting like a kicked puppy with Ms. Dearing?
private
WHAT?! No no no. You do not-- For the record, Claire has a dinosaur. That she is soul-bonded to, or whatever we call this thing now. I thought it might--MIGHT--be useful and I don't know, comforting!, for her to know someone who has also--YOU KNOW--Drifted with a non-human creature!
Just because she happens to be a VERY pretty woman does not mean anything and I'd be just as disappointed if she was far less pretty.
And hey. You win some, you lose some, but at least I tried, huh? Which is more than you can say!
