[Memo: Tower Residents, SHIELD, Avengers, etc]

On behalf of SHIELD, I'd like to express my sincerest gratitude to the Avengers for their hospitality and support these past few months while we regrouped. In particular, the assistance and resources offered by Tony Stark and Stark Industries have been of immeasurable assistance. However, now that we are back on our feet, it seems best to leave the Tower so that we can continue our mission of protecting the public.

Should you need us, you know how to reach us.

[SHIELD]

Wheels up at high noon.

Let's try not to burn any bridges. We may need them in the future.

[Bobbi Morse]

Do you have everything you need?

[Sitwell + May]

It seems the first mission was a success. Anything new to report from your end?

[Nick]

We're leaving the Tower before Stark turns us into a sacrificial lamb. Rogers passed on the chance to dismantle us a second time. We'll be in touch.

WHO: SHIELD
WHEN: Sunday, Jan 4, noon
WHERE: SHIELD floor. Surveillance technology disabled.
WHAT: Deciding the future.

Given all the Avengers drama recently and a diplomatic eviction notice from one American hero, it may be time for SHIELD to say goodbye to the Tower. Because no one likes staying in a dysfunctional relationship.

(And for everyone to check in / voice any concerns)

Comment in the various sub-threads with what your character does/says. Go IC as necessary, if you want.

SHIELD

SHIELD meeting on Sunday. Noon. There will be lunch. Attendance is mandatory - there are some things we need to discuss.

[May]

What do we need to do to be fully independent?

[Clint & Natasha]

I know that was an information dump. I thought you'd been informed already. If you want more information, your SHIELD credentials still work. Or you can come talk to me. I'm always available.

Sony, btw, does not use Stark Server Technology.

[Filtered to Steve and Sharon]
Stark let it slip that you might have a lead on the bullet proof girl. Any truth to it?

[Filtered to Jemma]
I just wanted to touch base. See how you are.

[Filtered to Skye]
You okay, girl?

WHO: Jemma Simmons & Raina
WHAT: Jemma has a few questions for Raina.
WHEN: After Raina & Skye return from seeing The Doctor.
WHERE: Avengers Tower
STATUS: In Progress
___

( Skye could vouch for Raina all she wanted, but Jemma knew for a fact Raina was still deceiving them. )

Well, it's good to be back.

[AVENGERS + SHIELD]

I'm back. It seems there are no lasting effects apart from the broken wrist which should be good as new in a few weeks. I'd like to take this moment for apologize for the past few weeks and to thank you all for your efforts in containing the situation in the cafe and taking care of things the last few weeks.

Onto business:

• May's briefed me on what I've missed from SHIELD's standpoint. Anything else I should know?
  
• How can we coordinate a response to these kidnappings? I don't know if we have records on all these kids, but SHIELD's records are open to the Avengers.
  
• It turns out the carving was meant to be a 3D model. JARVIS has digitized the model and it's uploaded on the servers, so you should all have access to it. The search for this city is a high priority. It's what the Kree are looking for.
  
• I'm not the only one who was injected with this drug, so it's possible HYDRA's looking for the city as well. We need to beat them there.
  

[Steve]

Captain, if you have some free time, I'd like to speak with you. I owe you a debt of gratitude.

[Skye]

Care to explain to me just what the hell you were thinking?

[May]

Dinner. Out. I owe you a thank you.

Looks like I'm trading one island for another. I'm back from Kona and looking for apartments for rent in New York. Nothing too modern, nothing too large, must have a balcony.

( This is NGC 3603, a nebula, constellation Carina )

WHO: Jemma Simmons narrative
WHAT: see here for details
WHERE: A janitor's closet in Avengers Tower
WHEN: Set after this.
STATUS: Complete

( There was an emptiness, an absence of the thing, and that was horrifying. )

[SHIELD]

I'm meeting with Raina on Friday to see what additional information I can get out of her.

As of right now, I'm not planning on bringing her in.

[May]

It doesn't count as going into the field.

Who: Karla Sofen and Jemma Simmons
What: Jemma's very bad horrible no-good therapy session.

( The proverbial sword is hovering over my head. )

WHO: Bobbi Morse & Jemma Simmons

WHEN: November 16th; Afternoon
WHERE: Avengers Stark; Labs

( Bobbi could honestly say SHIELD had always kept her busy )

Who: Fitz and Simmons

Rating: TW - internalized ableism, depression

( There was no ocean around them now, but maybe he was still drowning. )

[ JEMMA ]

[ address of a climate controlled storage container ]

Every three weeks. I promise no miracles but hopefully limited side effects.

[Bruce Banner]

I want to thank you, Dr Banner, for giving me the opportunity to accompany you on this amazing trip. It has been a true honour to be here and to witness all that you've accomplished.

I'm afraid, however, that there are circumstances within SHIELD that necessitate my immediate return. I trust everything will be okay there, won't it? The quarantined patient isn't doing so well

[Fitz]

I'm coming home tomorrow. I missed you

[Skye/Coulson]

I hope your veins are feeling very generous. I plan on extracting many vials of blood. Don't fob me off with excuses. I have a whole afternoon's worth of tests planned.

[Trip]

Hullo. I'll be States-side sooner rather than later. Perhaps...perhaps we could explore the sights, as it were.

[SHIELD]

There's something I probably should have mentioned awhile back. The GH.325 - the drug that was used to bring me back from the dead, has been known to have adverse side effects in test subjects. The project was scrapped by SHIELD after the tests and I was the one who shut it down. It was decided that it would only be used in the case of an Avenger - where the possibility outweighed the risk. Director Fury decided that I qualified. I still do not agree with this decision.

Garrett took a higher dose of the drug and it destroyed him.


I felt you all should be aware. Data is being kept as to any behavioral or physiological changes.

[Avengers]

It might be good to have a meeting maybe Thursday of next week?

[RAINA]

Does this actually work?

What you said you could do for Fitz. How?

TOWER RESIDENTS:

Um.

Hey. So I was told to get on here and say hello to everyone else who's staying at the tower, because this is easier than going door to door. There are a lot of those. And I'm probably not allowed in all of them.

I'm Julie. Tony said I could stay here for right now, so... I'm going to be around. Is it really 2014
