[The man on the screen looks utterly exhausted. Haggard might even be apt considering the greyish pallor of his skin under his dark stubble and the even darker circles under his eyes. When the video jostles in his hold for a moment, it displays his bare chest before coming up to his face. He looks like he tried to wash off some combination of mud, sand, and various other things best not examined too closely and didn't do too great a job of it. Despite that, he tries for a tired smile and a finger taps the screen before withdrawing.]

First off, I'd like to say that Tony Stark makes the world's most durable phone. I'd do a testimonial commercial, but that might be in bad taste.

Second, I've read some of the information available and I think you'll understand it's not the easiest thing to swallow, but I'm going with it as a working theory for now. Don't ask why, it's a long story.

Third... [He trails off and turns his head away from the camera before looking back at it] I don't know what the third is, let's say I want to issue a blanket apology and leave it at that.

[ooc: The Hulk ended up getting stuck outside at sundown and fought (pounding and getting pounded on) all night. Between that and a chitauri invasion, I figure Bruce is feeling a little run down.]

He turned all the eggs in the port to Cadbury Creme ones once.

If anyone it's the companies but, well, they're not telling us or letting us near it.

Creme not caramel? I knew he was evil.

So it's the companies guarding the Core? That's a start.

[EXCUSE ME SIR--] You don't like creme eggs?

Yes, two of them. AGI and SERO, they more or less rule the island, more than the government does.

It was a joke. I'm not very good at them today.

There's a government? No one mentioned that.

Oh whoops! Haha, I guess creme eggs are just serious business.

Well yes, politics and everything. People tend to get hung up on the companies though, that tells you something I think.

It does. It sounds like the government's just a figurehead and the real power is in the power of the purse.

Very accurate description. We do try to advise new people to stay away from the companies despite the fact that they're one of the biggest job providers.

I've heard that advice and I'll take it. I won't have anything to do with unethical experimentation [it's ethical if it's on yourself] and I won't stomach slavery.

[She smiles at him for that.]

There's always work to be found outside it, if you look hard enough. I'm part of the police department for example and they're always hiring.

I think I'll look for something else.

That's alright, I was just using it as an example.

My name's Seras Victoria, pleasure to meet you.

Bruce Banner, likewise pleased to meet you.

It seems like a place like this could use doctors, unless you know someone other than the corporations hiring physicists. Manufacturing maintenance?

Urm, I know there's a Newcomer made company called Violet Systems, maybe they'll have something for you. But doctors, yes, they're always in demand.

They usually are. [And in a place like this, who needed to know he didn't have a medical license if he had the skills?]

I'm more than sure you'll find something. Just keep inside at night and if you have any trouble you can always contact me.

I'll let you know if I need anything Miss Victoria. Thank you.
