[Hello Moira crew, did you miss him? Probably not. Hell, he doesn't even recognise half the names on the roster anymore, so most of you probably didn't even know he was here. But he's back, not so much in black, and he's getting reacquainted. He's been out of cryo for a bit, but he's been trying to make sense of everything going on until that nifty little warning he saw on the network. A+ everyone. You managed to tick some new race off without the help of a Stark. Which, he seems to be the sole Stark onboard now. That's depressing.]

Okay, can anyone fill me in on who we pissed off this time, since I've been a little out of the loop as of late? Well, actually, until semi-recently, I've been an ice cube. Cap--saw your name on the roster; welcome back buddy--next Cap-cicle joke I make, you're allowed to deck me. I think I have freezer burn, I swear. Is that even a thing I can have? Medical gives me a clean bill of health, but I think I want a second opinion.

What was I saying? Oh, right. A recap would be nice. Stark out. [He waves at the camera and cuts the feed.]

I'm sure I will. Alas, it's my curse.

[Oh, he probably will.]

How's things, gorgeous?

That's what I'm afraid of. [So dry it's practically arid.

That last word gets him a snort for his trouble.] I've been doing all your work in engineering, how do you think things are?

[Please, she'd probably have been down there anyway.]

C'mon Tali, I wouldn't be me otherwise.

[His grin is genuine at that.]

Well, consider me back on active duty. Nose to the grindstone to keep me out of trouble. Or, you know, get us both into trouble. However you wanna look at it.

No, I suppose I have to take the sass right along with the...decent engineering work. [Insulting someone who's exactly as good - or better - than she is. Apparently that's how she's teasing people now.]

[See this face? He's aghast! Aghast, I tell you, aghast! How dare, madam!]

Decent? If I didn't like and respect you, I'd seriously be offended. [Tony, usually it's the opposite...] Have you seen what I'm capable of back home? Of course you haven't. Come on. You, me, and my suit in the training deck. Now. --we do still have a training room, right?

[That is an extremely aghast face, and while Tali's masked up at the moment and her uncontrollable grin isn't visible, she's kind of shaking with suppressed laughter, which ruins any attempt at pretending she meant that.]

We do still have a training room. [She sounds pretty damn confused, though.] Do you want to meet me there in...formal clothes?

[His smirk is back like it never left. Formal wear. The poor dear.]

It's not a date. No formal clothes needed. No, by suit, I mean my armour. A high tech suit of protective armour, like your environmental suit but better.

[He stepped back to make sure she could see him in the frame, held out an arm, and the red and gold gauntlet of his suit fired up, zipped across the room, and formed around his hand, locking into place. Tony waved at the camera with it.]

See you in the training room?

[There's kind of a second of relief there - she likes Tony and really doesn't want to get awkward. But then she's tilting her head, peering at the MID in clear interest - and then, as the gauntlet attaches itself to his arm after a circuit of the room, she physically starts. Her reply? Immediate.]

I'll be there in fifteen minutes.

[He grins and ends the feed, suiting up and heading to the training room. When she arrives, she'll find him standing there, clad in red and gold armour, with the faceplate flipped up.]

I haven't been letting the reactor's cycles fully charge, so she's running low on juice, but I figure we can still splay a little before I send her back to bed.

Tali, meet Iron Man. This is who I am back home when I'm not tinkering with something.
