[once he dove under the water, nothing was what he expected to see. notably, there's a decided lack of New York City pipelines. or really, New York City-looking anything. he's pretty sure New York doesn't have underwater plazas.]

Jarvis, hey. What's going on here?

[he's suddenly hit by something even more discomforting: radio silence] Jarvis. Buddy. Talk to me. ... Right, I'll just talk to myself, shall I? That always works just as well. Okay. My AI link's probably just broken, thought I tested that in the underwater preliminaries, but but that's easy enough to fix ... I hope.

[he sits down on a nearby bench and notices a blinking icon in a lower corner of his HUD.] ... Okay. Uh. ... Yeah, sure, let's activate that. What's the worst it could do.

[the welcome brochure appears on holo-panels in front of him, and he frowns]

No Jarvis. But someone's hacking my systems. Okay. This is not good. This is not cool, and it's not funny. Fury, that you? It's got One-Eyed-Creeper written all over it...

Tracked, great. [he makes a face] Note to self, find a way to engineer secure channels again.

And inquisitive isn't really quite the right word for it. I already know everything back home, so.

[Tatsumi nods.] It's what I have heard. I haven't probed it for myself.

[And then he raises an eyebrow at that. Modest much, Tony?] Indeed?

Well, soon as I get a proper lab going here, I'll have to look into it. [the way he says it makes it pretty clear that he doesn't care where he's supposed to get the resources or pay for them: it's a fact. he will have a lab. end of discussion. that is just the way life is, because he says so]

Yeah-huh.

[Tatsumi assumes he'll be able too, since most stuff is free here anyway. Whether he'll get all the high-tech he's used to... But since there seem to be some kind of scientists playing with them...

He just shrugs.]

You would do well to be careful, though. As I said, we are being watched. Those who brought us to this world are no fools.

Believe me. [he shoots him a smile] I'm used to working under surveillance. I made something twice this size and not half as efficient and they thought I was working on a missile the whole time.

I think I'll manage.

[He rolls his eyes. Someone should teach this guy some modesty.]

If you say so... Personally, I'd rather not say more here.

You know a lot about this stuff, then? This place, what the deal is?

I know some of it, though I would not venture to say a lot. There is still so much to discover from this world.
