3rd Command; Video
[See Tony. See Tony with a gun he'd nicked from some drunken hobo in exchange for his watch. See Tony slamming down his communicator on a table and holding said gun up with a rather casual air as he looks around and-]
... Sweet mother of all that's technological and holy-
[He's mumbling, his entire body going slack as an awed and almost teary-eyed expression comes over his face. Because the room he'd found himself in? Yeah. It's the back warehouse of Gotham's version of best-buy. Picked clean of the more expensive things, and most everything else is broken and looted but it's still technology and metal and gears and dear baby Jesus is that a computer?]
Oh, baby, I'm in love. I don't give a crap- I'm in love. [And then he's picking up the communicator and just kind of excitedly showing everyone his goddamn beautiful haul.] If I disappear for the next few days, this is where I am. In robotics heaven.
[He does pause, though, as he turns a corner and finds what seems to be some shelving units that haven't been installed, and he makes a thoughtful noise under his breath.] ... Yeah, this could work.
Hey. [He taps the microphone, obnoxiously] Anyone out there with an inch of sanity and a blow torch? I kind of need one.
[ooc: and so begins Tony staying up for two days straight and barricading himself in his brand new workshop! He'll be emerging with some pretty half-assed helper bots (he has their coding memorized, knows how they go together, could do it in his sleep, he's just been missing the tech he needed to make them) and after that three days of constant work and maybe an hour of sleep? He'll be emerging in a crude, not-so-indestructible Iron Man suit. Because if he can build one in a cave in Afghanistan under constant torture and surveillance? He can sure has hell make one in a run-down electronics store with minimal distractions.
Of course, most of this will no-doubt be destroyed in villain battles and he'll mourn his bots for weeks, but hey. When Tony Stark is left alone and with tech? He builds.]

[He smirks] I think I know someone who'd help with that, though. Too nice for his own good.

[Give him an electronics store and he is instantly like a hyper five-year-old.
Sorry.]
Re: Video:

It's a nickname. I can come up with another one if that one's too sugar-sweet for your tastes.
Re: Video:
[LOOK AT HOW MUCH THE MYSTERIOUS ALIEN LADY DETESTS BEING NICKNAMED, TONY. Oh, wait, you can't... Mask and all.]
Video:
No go for Xenny Baby, then?

[You are going to be remembered, Monsieur Stark...]

[.... Yeeeaaaaah....]
Re: Video:
I shall be expecting results.

Vas Moreh ya to love?
Video: LOL!
An avenue of investigation I find myself increasingly tempted to explore.
Video:
Sorry, your Admiralness.
I just couldn't help myself. Can barely take my eyes off that mask of yours.
[He means it, too. He just. It's so interesting.
He wants to reverse engineer it.]
Re: Video:
[!]
What...?
Video:
Your mask. Assuming it isn't just a fashion statement. Sorry, but, aliens aren't really common in 21st century Earth. I'm assuming it serves some sort of biologically sustaining function, but still.
Technology I haven't seen before. Always been a weakness of mine.
Re: Video:
You hardly strike me as one for whom scientific ideals are paramount.
Video:
I invent, bottom line. Not too big on the biological focus of science, but the mechanical side of things?
Re: Video:
When you construct something of value, Stark, I shall be available to run a full analysis... And almost certainly provide a few suggestions of my own.
