[Filtered Away from Integra]

Abraham refuses to bloody well leave, and the damned Sultan is dogging my every step. How much alcohol can mortals consume before they poison themselves?

WHAT. WHY. I EVEN HAVE THE ACCENT. WHAT!

Well, now that it seems like we're actually getting a stretch of quiet and I don't have to continually hide from aliens or fetch coffee for the people who can actually do something about it...

I've come to the conclusion that this place has absolutely no use for someone with my education and professional expertise. It seems the Law up here is a sort of loose and relative term, and one that not many people are all that fond of if what I've been able to overhear is any indication. So. That said, I thought this might be the best way to put some feelers out to the community to see what sort of things people need the most help with. Do keep in mind that, well, I'm blind. So if it involves me needing to be able to see or read anything -- Though I am really good with feelers by the way -- I'm probably not going to be your best bet.

Money's getting tight and this lawyer stuck in space needs to eat. Besides, I tried offering to be a dancer at Starlins, even told them I'd bring my own pole, but no one seemed to appreciate the joke.

I really, really, really am sorry. I just keep...

[Private to Tony Stark]
Wondering if you could do me a favour. If we keep getting invaded I'm really going to need access to the comms. On the tablets I can set up voice to text for sound files, but that won't work over the radios. I know your suit visor shows up to date battle information, would you be able to make something similar but simpler? Contact lenses might even work though since I'm not sure how my powers work exactly they might interfere with my vision. Something wearable like a screen on my wrist might work as an alternative. And yes, I can pay. Wilson taught me how important money

Dis ain't what Gambit was expectin' when he book a flight to New York. Supposed t' be firs' class service an' pretty ladies. Didn't say not'in' in de travel brochure 'bout talkin' dogs an' space heads.

Being conscious is overrated, even though the healers here are a lot different then what I'm used to. Still not too sure how this works, not being helped by my head feeling kind of weird but hey I'll take it.

I really need my armor though, if I'm going to try that again. Or find someone who has a bow. Or magic. Kind of sucks sitting it out, but one does not argue with the healers.

Heard, saw, something about people tackling the big ones. Despite my luck landing me in the middle of whatever those things are, Maker smile on all of you.

Varric's never, ever, going to believe me. Or anyone else.

The last fight took two days, and from the looks of things the Reapers outgun and outnumber them by far. We're going to have to take passport sickness into account so we don't have to pull everyone back at once after three days and leave the place unguarded.

Not precisely how I intended to spend my vacation, but I suppose there are worse destinations. My name is Diana Prince. I understand that a number of the current guests have been in this place for some time now. Perhaps you might be kind enough to offer some guidance on how best to proceed?

Rough game. I did well in the first two rounds. Thought I had it in the bag, but that last round did me in. Perhaps it was the fact that it was at the end of the night and I was already well inebriated at that time.

I'll be taking both Maya and Steve up on my Capoeira and Shield Throwing lessons though. Let's schedule something.

Figures, the fighting's done, the hard work happens, and my drinking partner's nowhere to be found. I can't be the only thirsty one out there.

Also, the upcoming Poker game's going to be a little different. I'd like to try and do something a bit more charitable, open the game up a little, I'm taking suggestions now if anyone's got them.

The fucking dog is okay. I just don't think Sorry if I just completely ignored you during that battle. Ears aren't working as they should be.

[HAW FRANCIS]

How're you doing?

[TORUNN]

How was that beer, by the way?

My thanks to those of you who put together the rescue effort. I promise you, more details will be coming as soon as I've debriefed Cosmo and the Guardians about what our next step is.

[ Guardians and Cosmo ]

I'm inbound to HQ now. I've got information information that I can draw up plans and layouts and, assuming the Troyjans and Ba-Bani are using similar designs for their holding cells, I should be able to provide you with enough tactical intelligence as to where the remaining people are being held. I didn't get names, or numbers, so I'm hoping you've been able to put together a list of the missing besides myself and Rose Tyler.

Secondarily, they're not too interested in causing harm, but I know we're operating on a rapidly closing window of time here. I'll be frank, if you need hands to spearhead the rescue effort, I will lend my skills and shield to it as best I can. If you can find anyone else more qualified with the intelligence I'm providing, I'd prefer it. Between fighting with the Hulk and our captors, I'd frankly like at least a day to rest.

[ Alucard ]

Once our people are secure, you've got to come up with a way for me to thank you.

[ Rose Tyler ]

How're you holding up Rose? Promised you you'd get that chance to yell at me.

[ Sharon Carter {616!AU} ]

Please tell me there's whiskey left?

Situation report. Troyjan and Ba-bani have made a full retreat. We have no reported dead, but many injuries. The miners were not so lucky. Have report of at least 5 dead.

Children and noncombatants are safe. I protect them. We will rebuild.

What is I hear about kidnappink? Everyone, report in. We find who is missink.

Currently reported M.I.A:
- Steve Rogers
- Tim Drake
- Red Robin
- Rose Tyler
- Ororo Munroe

(OOC: posted on the network after the fighting has stopped when Bruce finally makes his way back to Knowhere.)

One of the alien ships took Steve. He was standing right there in front of me and I couldn't do a thing about it. I'm so sorry.

For everything. For all of it. I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

Remind me again never to complain about getting comfortable anywhere.

So. We've got an army outside the space head, and one that wants Cosmo to turn over the Guardians.probably outnumbered. Starting to get a case of Deja Vu all over again.

Sounds like we might need to hold off on this week's poker game but hey, we'll see how it goes.

[ GotG ]

Don't suppose I can get the short version as to why they want you to turn yourselves over can I?

All right. It's official. The initial charm of this place has completely worn off and I am bored. There's only so many fun nights one can spend at Starlin's and I'm ready for something new. I hear Xandar is a hot spot. Anyone have any suggestions on where to go there?

Or just have some interesting Knowhere gossip. I'm desperate. Send help.

(OOC: Forward/backdate this to after Jason's return from Earth. I meant to get this up sooner, but today just kind of exploded.)

[ Avengers at Large (616, AU, MCU) and the Guardians of the Galaxy ]


(Since it was pointed out that there's obviously some confusion here as to who Steve would consider an Avenger, here's a list to clarify who's under the filter:

MCU: All
Comics: All except: Jean Grey, Else Bloodstone, Cosmo)
AU: All)

I've received a package at the Docks, upon asking Doctor Banner to take a look at it, and him coming up largely with no idea, I'd appreciate some sets of eyes on this thing. Since we're seeing all manner of things show up, from a variety of different dimensions, and a lot of them seem to have specific ties to things, I thought this was the most efficient way we could get some answers as to what it is. I'll be at the docks for the next few hours, and would appreciate as many of you as you can coming to take a look and helping me figure it out.

Thank you.

(OOC: The package is The Cradle from Age of Ultron and, once this is figured out, Steve's just gonna get all stern lipped about it, thank everyone, and then casually just stare at it. He's gonna destroy it, and another one will be arriving in its place. Steve will not be happy.)

[ Delivered to Tony Stark ]

[ Gift wrapped for Tony is this present with a simple card that reads: 'Happy Birthday, Your friend, Steve'. ]

[ Jean Grey (616 ]

Hello Jean.

James had to show me around the docks to find out exactly what was left behind for me.

It's fucking huge.

[CAP]

Steve.

[SHEPARD]

Think you and your friends can figure out how to make it fly?
