Recent events have me thinking.

[ Stark says, taking a sip from his cup, before he focuses back on a camera. It's a lot more HD than your usual import camera -- then again, nothing but the best for Tony Stark. ]

In recent months, we've had people showing up, different times, completely different people, and now there's word of people sticking around. That's different, it's never happened before. [ A pause, a sip. ] But who knows, it could be a fluke, right? Or maybe I don't have complete data. Anyone else heard of anything like that happening?

I mean, that's as an aside. I've... I've seen a lot of people hold themselves responsible -- myself included -- for things that someone who isn't them did. Either a person they become, a person they were and aren't anymore -- or a completely different person.

Would you hold them responsible? After my...unfortunate incident I found people were holding me responsible for things that this -- different version of me had done. Is that a constant? Should people be held accountable for things that they weren't necessarily guilty of? If I'm ported out tomorrow, would the Tony Stark that replaces me be held accountable for anything I did over my time here?

[ Another pause then. His finger drums against the glass. ] Anyone have any thoughts?

A fun project, you say? I'm listening.

I'm thinking something technical, but not draining.

Maybe work on a car design together.

I admit I don't know a lot about car mechanics and design. I should hook you up with Ted Kord on that front, maybe.

If you want.

So what area do you find the most fun? Any projects you genuinely enjoy?

I don't do much hands-on work at all, honestly.

You must be familiar with grid-connected PV systems, right?

[liverletdie]

I don't personally go for solar-power, but the concept is familiar, yes.

Well, as you know, Starrware's focus is the environment and cleaner, efficient and renewable energy. I've been doing some research about how a grid-connected PV can compromise power quality.

Ideally, it would be great if something like that didn't sacrifice power quality in the least.

[ Time to blow out something in the name of technology. ]

Really?

Now this is something I could help with. I've designed self-contained clean energy systems on a small scale -- I bet we could do the same on a larger scale.

De Chima's already busy on the technological front, who knows how much energy a power grid in one area pulls in a day, let alone a year?

[liverletdie]

Is this a rhetorical question... or do you want the actual stats?

It's astronomical, to put it lightly.

[boobwindow]

Now I'm a bit scared to find out.

[ A light laugh. ]

When are you free?

video

[liverletdie]

Hell, we could probably start sometime next week?

video

[boobwindow]

Sounds like a plan. We can go over it in detail during a lunch.

[liverletdie]

I'll look forward to it.
