For those who knew them: Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Clark Kent, Scott Lang and Foggy Nelson are gone.
[ Bruce doesn't know whether or not to leave it at that. He wants to keep it a brief announcement, almost detached, but in the process he's making it fairly obvious that some of these people leaving has affected him a lot. But then again, that's why he went with text, so he can avoid any slip of his expression or tone of voice that might betray just how upset he is.
He doesn't really want to talk about it. Or maybe he does, but he doesn't know with whom, or how to bring it up. It's not like he's ever been the best at expressing himself.
Best to just leave it at that. Short and... not really sweet, no. ]
That's it.

it's at least worth a try
at least it would be if someone would let me get near it
or inside it
no subject
It's not that easy. We've only started to scratch the surface on what makes the Ingress tick, and we certainly don't know enough to just send people in at random, when we don't know where it might take you. I know you think it's brave or necessary, but to me it just sounds reckless and dangerous— to you and possibly the rest of the ship.
no subject
and i didn't mean go through it
i want to look at what makes it run
the mechanics around it
no subject
[ Probably. ]
That's what we've been trying to do. There's a big group of people trying to figure out how the Ingress works, I confess I'm not too involved with it but I've joined them a few times. It's still complicated, though. This kind of technology is completely unknown to all of us, so it might take us months or even years to so much as understand it, let alone know how to manipulate it safely.
no subject
from what i can tell nobody has made any headway at all with figuring this out
we're just trusting the word of these captains when they say we're going somewhere to get it fixed
hoping they have our best interests in mind
i don't like it
no subject
I don't like it either. But I'm stuck in an alternate universe and the only people I know are here, the only place where I feel even a modicum of safety is here. I'm not sure what other alternative you're proposing— assuming you are.
no subject
"it's complicated"
that isn't saying much
if there's a whole group of you someone should've come up with something better
yeah well everyone i know is from a completely different time and doesn't know me or a murderer so
safe isn't really an option for me
sometimes the best way to figure something out is to take it apart
but i doubt anyone is going to agree with me and it's too big a job to do on my own as quickly as i need
so i guess the point is moot
no subject
You're right, we haven't figured out much. Like I said, it's something new and unfamiliar and it might take us months or years to truly understand it.
So far I can tell you it seems to be powered by magic as much as it is by science, and it has the ability to create wormholes of various sizes, distances, and energy levels.
If you want to do that, I won't be the one stopping you, not unless something starts to go wrong. But I'm not going to help you either.
But who knows, if you feel like that then maybe there are other people on board willing to join you. So long as you know what you're doing and don't somehow blow up this ship, because if there's a risk of that happening then I will stop you.
no subject
honestly
there's always a risk to everything you do
blowing up the ship seems a little drastic
from what i can tell the ingress isn't connected to the engines
but i'll be sure to let you know if we're all about to die
something should definitely go wrong. i mean what
It doesn't, but who knows what kind of power that system really has? For all we know an overload could end up in an explosion. Or a power failure. [ He probably has a whole list of things that could go horribly wrong. He's used to it by now. ]
Thanks. I monitor everything down at the science department anyway, so hopefully I'll know if anything does go wrong.
well of course because she would just start ripping things from walls
and also very unlikely on a ship-wide basis
but i'll keep them in mind
why's that? are you in charge?
askdlakld whoops
And he's not a fan of the expression 'in charge', but... ] I'm the chief science officer, yes. I don't run everything on the Moira, not by a long shot, but I do monitor everything, both inside and outside of the ship, including its surrounding areas.
whoops indeed
yeah?
that's a lot of information you have access to
how willing are you to share it?
[read: "i want to know everything about this ship please let me look at your data"]
no subject
If you have questions about it, feel free to ask too. None of the work done at the science department is kept a secret, nor is it meant to be.

are you there now?
