Knowhere IC

Instead of ending up in situations like these, I'm still going to have to insist we could all just collect commemorative plates.

Shit. Does anyone know who or what killed the owner of this head, or is it a mystery?

If I were to start offering art classes at the new community center if only because I need a break from all the madness here andwould there be enough community interest in taking lessons? I'm not sure how skilled I say I am, but I've got a lot of experience and can at least say I could put 'was a police sketch artist' on my resume.

So is that how it always is when you have to come rescue me? Also. We need another vacation I think...because what was that?

We've had a couple successful vacations with the new passports, I'm happy to report. As far as I can tell they're working out nicely.

[Tony]
What do you say we take the passports for a spin and get out of here for a little while? When was the last time we took a vacation together?



[OOC: Players no longer need approval for passport travel as long as it doesn't include time travel of dimension hopping. You can go here for all the details you need on the new passports.]

As I'm sure most of you have noticed, the craziness that was happening the last few days has stopped. Let me try to do my best to explain.

Cosmo hired a couple of scientists to try and reverse engineer the passports so we could have more than six total. They kept running into problems during testing and building and eventually figured out it was due to a device that was installed into... basically the brain stem of the celestial we call home. Once the device was removed from the continuum cortex it allowed them to really figure out what the problems with their passport prototypes were, but it also seemed to have caused all of the craziness. We're not sure who installed the device or why it was there, but the effects of it's removal seem to have dissipated and we believe that we shouldn't have any further problems with it. That was the brain correcting itself, so to speak.

But really, the most important part of this post is that the passport prototypes have been tested and they work. Enough have been created to provide every displaced resident of Knowhere with their own passport. Expect those to be delivered to your living quarters tomorrow.

There are also a few nice new perks to these new passports. They can sustain travel for up to 7 days before passport sickness sets in. They have a separate button for quick travel back to the passport office on Knowhere. There is no need to contact us to change the travel point anymore, but you will still need to set your destination with our offices before leaving to anywhere else. The other button on the passport will not do anything unless it is first programmed with a navpoint.

Which bring me to another point. Seeing as how there is no need for a scheduler in the Passport Dispatch Center anymore, Cosmo has promoted me to Head of Passports and our office is hiring. We have three open spots for Passport Programmers and two spots open for Passport Engineers. If you'd like to apply for one of these positions, please contact me to set up an interview.

Hmm. What else? Oh, Cosmo seems to believe that these new and improved passports may be more like the ones he remembers from his own universe and they may be able to sustain time travel or moving between dimensions. This has NOT been tested yet, but technically we have the information in the Dispatch Center to program the passports to do these things. We're just not sure if it would work or potentially how dangerous something like that would be. It is as of yet completely untested.

All right. I think that's all the information I wanted to get out to you. If anyone has any other questions, please let me know. Again, the new passports will be delivered to you by the end of day tomorrow. We encourage you to wear them, they will also now be able to tie in to our comms system.

There's been a little hiccup with the passports and they're currently not working. All of the passport trips scheduled for the next week have been canceled. I'll let everyone know if they're fixed sooner than that, but right now we're thinking at least a week, possibly longer.

Were we expecting passports not to be working?

I hope you know if you guys are successful with this, I'm out of a job.

Also, don't you think you were a little harsh with Leah there? She was only trying to help.

[Tony]

Maybe you should take a break? Spend a little time with your girl, get your mind off this particular problem. There's a ground breaking ceremony tomorrow. You love those things. Maybe if you ask nicely Cosmo will let you hold the big scissors.

Oh, and I need you to take a look at my suit. It's acting up.

Mindless and unsatisfying. I am Angela of Asgard and if I am to be stuck in yet another dimension I would know whether there is ice cream to be found.

I could definitely use some orange slices. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my bunk.

I need a machinist.

TONY!!! NOOOO!!!

30 seconds later, Pepper's voice is shaky and panicked.

This is Rescue calling for medical assistance on top of The Nebulous Wrench. The Iron Man suit was shorted out somehow and Tony fell out of the sky. He's been impaled on... on god, I don't know what. I'm afraid to move him. If this thing is removed he'll bleed out. Send immediate evac.

A few days ago, this mechanical thingamadoodad showed up, and it didn't occur to me that it might belong to somebody else, until I started noticing all these posts of people who had the same thing happen to them, looking for the rightful owners. I used my sonic screwdriver to figure out what the thing was - it's an update for a pretty technically advanced armored suit. The updates include new hardware components that work with something called Extremis, an update to a sophisticated AI unit that goes by the name of FRIDAY, and a new paint job. Pretty far out, considering that it was only made in the 21st century. Does this sound familiar to anybody? Come and collect it.

Also, the zappy zap man who arrived a couple days ago, calls himself the Master? He's an old acquaintance of mine. I'm taking care of him in my TARDIS, so hopefully he'll get better soon.

[Whovniverse Peeps - Except the Master]

The Master is being kept in the Zero Room. He's still unstably stable, but he is making a little progress.

I also used the TARDIS to scan Knowhere, I can't find Original Recipe. My guess is that he must've been taken back to our universe.

[The Master]

Wakey wakey. If I come in, you promise not to zap me? I have food.

Looks like I've also received something not belonging to me. Does this sort of things happen a lot around here? Anyway, it looks like it's armor of some kind, definitely for a woman.

This announcement is coming straight from Cosmo and the Guardians, so listen up.

We have placed a 72 hour time limit on all passport travels for the time being. Any travels exceeding 72 hours is considered to be unsafe and can possibly result in the following:

• Blindness


• Nose bleeds


• Stroke


• Heart complications


• Death

They're looking into what happened to those who were planning on moving to Earth, so hopefully we will have some more information on that soon.

Don't think I'm supposed to go into too much detail, but I can say these passports are seriously cool. Like Star Trek tech cool. And while I had hoped there would be more of a transporter room vibe when programming them, I'm still enjoying the work.

God, I hope there's a clause in my contract covering this. I'm going to need a glass of wine, a plate of fresh pastries and some decent chocolate before I'm ready to deal with this.

Janet, you are terrible! In the best way, of course. I knew something was up when you were acting so strange about me showing up exactly at 6pm, but I wasn't sure what. You really surprised me. Thank you.

And thank you to everyone who came over to help celebrate the big four three. I never thought I would be celebrating my next birthday in space, but you all helped make it wonderful despite our circumstances.

HELLO! Did you miss me?

Cosmo made me the official party queen of Knowhere! And by that, I mean that I'll be arranging a little soiree for all us people who were brought to Knowhere. I'm going for a Tiki Lounge sort of feel, with tropical drinks, barbecue, a limbo contest, the whole works! Too bad there's not a beach here, but anyway, we'll make do. For the past week, I've been away. I got to go to Earth, which was weird because it's just like the Earth I know, without Van Dyne Industries, or the Avengers, or even a Sokovia! But I'm back, with a bunch of decorations and other party surprises plus a few things I picked up for myself. The party is going to be on the 20th, so mark your calendars!

Do we have any entertainers in our midst? If you can play and instrument and want to perform, that would be wonderful! Let me know, alright?

Anything interesting happen while I was away?

[Open to All Marvel Characters (from all Universes) but Blocked From Pepper Potts]

Today is Pepper's birthday! She deserves a huge celebration, but I just arrived late last night-cycle, and there's no way I can arrange something that big so quickly. But I have cake from Duane Park Patisserie, and ice cream, and confetti, and balloons, so I thought I'd throw a surprise for her. Please come, no matter which universe you're from. She might not be your Pepper, but she's still Pepper Potts! It'll be held in my studio apartment, room 715, at 6:00 pm. DON'T TELL HER! It's going to be a SURPRISE! If you can all come by 5:45, I want everything set up and everybody hiding so when she comes into my apartment, we can all pop out.

I could use some help decorating and setting things up.

[Private to Pepper Potts]

We have SO MUCH WORK TO DO! For this Tiki Party, that is! We need to go over details, including location. I'm a bit jet lagged from traveling back from Earth, and I have a lot of unpacking to do, so could you come to my apartment later? Say, at 6:00 tonight? Pleeeeeease? It won't take long, I just want to show you the amazing things I brought.

Passport Scheduler is a few steps away from CEO of Stark Industries, but I think I can handle it. I'll be working closely with both Cosmo and the Guardians to properly schedule the use of passports to ensure everyone gets to wherever they need to go.. and I suppose back again.

In other news, my first paycheck is going towards some proper clothes. This dress has seen better days and I think Knowhere is made more for pants anyway.
