-before sirens on the 6th-

Hi. [Why look, Siren's Port, this is one very annoyed person on your NV's today. All bruised and bumped and covered in grass stains. The norm of those who just fell through the sky. Again.] I'm Tony Stark. And for those of you who may not have noticed, we've been blatantly kidnapped. I've been told this is, uh, not something new, here? That some people have been living in the magical land of Stockholm Syndrome for years without actually realizing just how bad it is?

[His bullshit meter just hit so high it practically punched a hole through the stratosphere, guys]

I need three things. First, the nearest Starbucks and not whatever coffee equivalent Canada's pushing out. I will practically marry you if you can supply me with a coffee IV drip right now. Second, access to a computer for three days straight. And it cannot be some crappy brick from 1997 that still thinks Internet Explorer is too advanced to run up to speed. Third: information on any and all major businesses that have even the slightest interest in technology advancement.

[He reaches up a hand to rub two fingers against his temple, a headache more than just coming on.] Get to it, Port. And remember: Coffee. First.

[.... He loves you already, strange blue-haired girl.]

Oh thank God. And trust me, I've had worse things than coffee in my bloodstream. Pretty sure my body would actually welcome it.

You give me a loan for a computer I swear I can double and pay you back within a week.

[But you're hitting him right in the curiosity, even as he checks out those files, already mentally mapping the path to the nearest Starbucks]

AGI and SERO, huh? Sound like generic big brands. Have any more info on them?

[Just wait until he learns that she's an android.]

I am sorry that I cannot recommend which place is best but I am sure there are others that will offer that information.

Is there a specific type that you would prefer or would you like me to meet you somewhere so that you may choose one yourself?

Both factions seem to be feuding with each other. My information regarding them is lacking due to the little assosiation I have had with either. [Meaning: None whatsoever.] However, it seems that SERO is a military and research organization, primarily, and there have been reports of human experimentation.

While AGI assists in maintaining Newcomer facilities and in financing Greeter salaries. They have been accused or proven to be involved in slave-trading, as I understand it.

[It'll be like Christmas come early]

Don't worry about it, honey. I have one picked out already.

Wouldn't be opposed to a meet and greet. I kind of love it when nerds try and shove their crap at me like I don't know what they're talking about.

[The information about the companies, however, has Tony shutting down a little, scowling in extreme distaste]

Yeah, gonna have to pass on both. Not into weapons, and really not into the slave market. No other big players?

Huh. It's like the Coke and Pepsi monopoly.

[The best Christmas.]

I am glad to hear that.

Very well, let me know the time and place that you would like to meet and I will be there.

[Mary and KOS-MOS aren't so thrilled themselves. Not so much about the weapons part though, since KOS-MOS kind of is one.]

There is one other business called Xino E. Mao but I do not have any data regarding them.

Let me get a few pots of coffee in me and I'll be set. I really just need something to build a bigger screen out of. Not looking forward to working everything on a phone.

[He waves the NV in hand as he speaks, absently trying to show that that's what he's talking about and... kind of forgetting that the image is gonna go spinning for a while because of it.]

I'll make memo to visit them personally, then. They have an address?
