[This transmission is voiced with a written transcript appearing just moments later. Because he's so nice like that.]

Evening, Luceti--your friendly, neighborhood Iron Man here. For anyone who's tried studying the Malnosso droids, I'd like to have a word with you. As most of you know, when those suckers track you down to kidnap you, they're virtually unstoppable. But the Mallies made a point to volunteers for one of their upcoming missions that the droids were not to be studied--makes me wonder if that means they know somebody has. Might have gone and upset them--but that's not the point. I don't want to hear about your paper towel tube projects, but if you really know something about those droids because you've studied them, we need to talk.

[Short 'n' sweet. He's not giving out any of his own information on this subject without getting some first. Better make it worth his time!]

[No Reply -> Action later on?]

[Once again, the person Stark may want to talk to reads this transmission. But knowing the risks, she doesn't reply.

All she will do is wait for him on the plaza, suited up in her MJOLNIR, for two reasons: It is where a lot of her intel is stored, and if this gets to leak anything, she may be prepared.

May.]

[Action!]

[alloys]

[See, this is why they get along. Tony isn't too surprised to see her when he emerges from the tunnels--though the suit is unexpected.]

Not waiting for the sky to fall, are you?

[Action]

[daisy023]

--You know one of the Malnosso watches over the locked network.

[Given what they're dealing with, almost.]

[Action]

[alloys]

[An even nod.]

There's a reason I didn't go broadcasting what I've been studying, you know.

[Action]

[daisy023]

But you almost told them somebody in here had. You could've as well looked for us.

[She wants to share this knowledge. Alas, one person still watches.]

[Written, Lockception]

[teenwonder]

Over these things? Insecure.

[Written, Lockception] BRRRRRRRRM

[alloys]

Of course it is. But I have to find out who even has information first before snagging them in person for it.

[Written, Lockception]

[teenwonder]

You think anyone would have concrete information in the first place.

[Written, Lockception]

[alloys]

It doesn't hurt to ask, now, does it?

[Written]

[selphie_t]

If/when you find anything out, are you gonna share it with the rest of us?

[Written]

[alloys]

That depends on what we decide to do with said information. I don't want to go handing out our information to someone who can't keep it from the Malnosso.

[Written]

[selphie_t]

:| Like I'd tell them anything.

[Written]

[alloys]

And what would I get out of keeping you in the loop? I'm all about incentive, bumpkin.

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

[Now here's someone who normally isn't at all pinged by this sort of thing. However, right now? It's exactly what she's looking for.]

I would also appreciate hearing such information if you receive it.

[Voice]

[alloys]

[Hnnng. He's so reluctant to share. But he knows that's only fair.]

And do tell, why would you like to hear it?

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

I have regained my memories for what I can only assume is a short time. I wish to make use of what has been granted to me to learn as much as I am able, in the hopes of aiding those who wish to escape.

I'm afraid I have very little to offer in return.

[It's best to be upfront about these things, she finds.]

[Voice]

[alloys]

[...Well, huh. At least she isn't trying to give him some bullshit answer. He can appreciate that.]

Then I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Bumpkin--I'll keep you posted. What we do will depend on what information we get.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

[He'd be more discreet, but he's pretty sure he's been punished for his involvement already. A month of torture and dissection for fifteen minutes of it to a robot. Whoops.]

Aye, the Malnosso know.

[Voice - 100% Locked]

[alloys]

[Oh, now this is intriguing. Tony throws up a lock, just in case.]

You sound pretty sure about that. How?

[Voice - 100% Locked]

[fierybluebird]

I'm very sure, and I'm not talking about it on the journal. Locked or not. Name a meeting place if it's important.

[Voice - 100% Locked]

[alloys]

[But it's so cozy down here in the tunnels...]

Name your place, then. It's worth it to hear what you have to say--so I hope you've really got something worth hearing.

voice; this is so super later /sob

[deceives]

Droids? Oh you means pathetic excuses for engineered robotics that has all you humans on edge all the time? [ He just laughs. ]

It would seem they are rather persistent in carrying out their function. Perhaps I could offer my intellect towards such an endeavor. Should you be wise enough to use it. [ Ambition and gaining the upper hand. Starscream is no stranger to it. ]

voice;

[alloys]

Are you trying to tell me you're actually capable of evading them?

[Because Tony is highly, highly skeptical of that.]

voice;

[deceives]

None have been so foolish as to go after me. But I can assure you that if they were to they would certainly not last very long. Unless they are capable of flight as well they could be easy enough to avoid for a being such as myself.

[ Unlike you humans who are stuck on the ground. Also he does have the advantage of size so there is that. It would be like squashing bugs! ]

voice;

[alloys]

...Uhuh. You keep telling yourself, sunshine.

[After studying these things? Yeah, he's not buying that even space alien robots could completely evade them.]
