WHEN: The morning after this log (November... 3rd? I think).
WHERE: The Marschester residence
WHAT: Sam's surprised to realize that Cas was at the apartment last night, because Cas didn't sleep on the couch.
I just wanted to let all of you know that Ianto and I will be out of the country, so to speak, from the 7th. I'm not sure how long we'll be gone and we may have slightly spotty connection so don't get too worried if you don't hear from us for a bit. We'll be fine.
JD was not around when I woke up. I found her phone and her things, and her scent led nowhere. She's gone.
My girlfriend has gone back home through the Tesseract. I also got a memory upgrade around the same time.
I swear I didn't forget about your birthday. I was just dealing with the funeral home and other arrangements. By the time I got home, it was way too late to call to wish you a happy birthday.FILTERED TO MONTY, DUM DUM, HOWARD STARK, TONY STARK MCU, THOR MCU, BRUCE BANNER MCU:
[Insert audio file of Sharon (badly) singing Happy birthday. It ends with a 'Love you.']
I wondered if you six would consider being pallbearers.
What's your name?So. It's your turn!
This one's real easy, but I had to go back and add this in 'cause I forgot it. My name's Fred Burkle. Winifred, actually, but no one but my mom and dad call me that. A lot of that's because the science community is really rough on women sometimes. Just discounting them from the get-go because of our names, so I started going by Fred. Kind of a catch-22, because I should be trying to set an example, but if you can't even get your foot in the door, is there even an example to set?
How old are you?
I know this is a tough question for some of us. I spent 5 years in a demon dimension. Or at least, I spent five of my home dimension's years in a demon dimension. I'm not really sure how long it was in the demon dimension. Sometimes it seems like longer. I counted myself as twenty-eight because of the five, but supernatural stuff happening kind of changes that. And do I count this time jumping because it was ten years ago when I was 28, so does that actually make me 38?
What's your favorite food?
Near and dear to my heart. I love food. Pancakes, tacos, Chinese food. Those are my favorites. Tacos, though. I tried recreating food in Pylea, but it didn't work out so well. I had to use my imagination a lot though. I could go for some tacos right now actually.
Current favorite song?
I haven't listened to anything in a while, but that "All About the Bass" song sure is catchy!
Do you enjoy taking the subway?
I gotta admit, living in Texas and then California, I'm kind of torn between being really impressed, and REALLY missing my car.
One last one, a hypothetical, if you won the lottery, what would do?
It kind of depends on how much this lottery is. Cause science equipment ain't cheap. I'd do pretty much what I did in LA. Help the helpless, and I'd have money to be able to help more people.
The Ascension mission is the first of its kind in SWORD. We are going into strange space, where we will be meeting with a great many unknowns. The members of this crew were chosen for their experience and knowledge with such exploration and encounters with the extraterrestrial, but also because I believe they are putting into the mission everything that they can to ensure its success and safety.
The galaxy out there is large and it may also have unfriendly components. What this team does not need is the potential unexpected from those coming from this planet. You are thus removed from this mission and will have a 3 month probationary period with SWORD effective immediately. The fact that you believed it might be important to note this before we were in space is the primary reason I believe you are worthy of that 3 month probationary period. Do not give me reason to regret having made this call.
What I said before stands. SWORD is interested in the protection of this world, and in the interaction with other worlds. Some of SWORDs founding members have manifested powers and came to escape experimentation from HYDRA. If you look around at those that work with you, you will find that others reported power manifestation immediately and that they are not lab animals in our scitech division. Next week I wish you to review the charter, the handbook, the disclosure paperwork, and the procedures for reporting an event when you are off-duty. If at the end of that review you find yourself still doubting whether you can trust this organization then you have a call to make.
I assume you have all taken notice of the passing of Peggy Carter, the elder, Steve Rogers has requested we handle a sjaund for her, as she was dear to him and I understand well his plight, I agreed.[Filtered to Sam Merlotte]
And Sharon Carter has asked that I bear her pall. I am less certain what to make of this Midgardian tradition. But am assured it is, what one does for the family
I have need of your bar on Monday through perhaps late Tuesday.
Can this be managed?
Amendment to Jack's earlier announcement. Change of plans and I'll be around. So you need not go without your favorite coffee.
Off the mission and suspended for three months and being told to 'reconsider' if I trust SWORD enough to stay with the organization.I think I might take a holiday to Wales.
I wanted you to hear it from me - I'm off the mission and suspended for three months because I broke protocol. Don't worry, I'm fine. Keep an eye on Jack in space for me, will you?
Okay. Brace yourself. I've got a question to ask.
We've got kind of a problem that we should be concerned with. Back in our world, Rikki was something of a tether between Onslaught in the Negative Zone and here. He wanted to come here, and he used Rikki's nightmares to lure her to where he could use her to sneak through. We -- the Avengers and Young Allies who were there, we ended up having to destroy Onslaught, thought Rikki, which meant she died. Or never existed. Or whatever you want to call it.
Rikki's started having the nightmares again, and I am not losing her a second time so we gotta come up with some kind of plan to stop him from using her. I mean, we know the dreams are used to lure her, so my first thought is to obviously NOT GO WHERE they say to go to.
But that could be anywhere and he could figure something else out.
So help me. Please?
