A copy of The Komarr Report, a strategy/military memoir written by Miles Vorkosigan's father, will be placed in your mailbox.

video. (pretend i'm good at keeping up with stuff ok)

[abide]

[ Steve's been all over the place considering the events of this past month, but he feels like he needs to get a better grip on his team, see how things are. So, much like Wanda, he sends a similar sort message to Bruce. ]

How're you holding up?

(your secret is safe with me)

[hyperkinesia]

[ Bruce can't blame Steve. It's easy to lose track even when they spend the month on board the ship as it is, it's even more difficult when they dock on a planet, especially when they have more than just one city they can visit. But it seems a good time for getting in touch - in fact, Bruce had been thinking of doing that himself, after the explosion in Avelle. ]

Hey, Steve. I'm alright, thanks. You? [ A pause. ] Where were you a couple of days ago? I heard things went down all over the place.

[vengeance_driven]

Shit is getting real out there, man. You should be careful if you go out.

[He saw someone take a gun butt to the face, so he can imagine things going very badly.]

[hyperkinesia]

[ Bruce sounds a little tired when he answers the call, but thankfully still very much like himself. ]

I know. I'm not on the planet. I wasn't feeling like myself so I spent a couple of days in my cage. But-- thanks. [ He pauses. ] Are you okay?

text; dated to the day Steve got hurt; 1/?

[seeingscarlet]

[She's pretty sure Bruce would ignore her call but Steve is unconscious and probably dying. Neither of them have the luxury to avoid the other right now.]

steve is hurt and it's bad


((ooc: hope this ok; we finally decided what's going to happen))

[seeingscarlet]

gunshots. we're in the transporter but he's not conscious

[seeingscarlet]

i tried to stop the bleeding but it's bad

done!

[seeingscarlet]

what do I do? this doesn't go faster

[if you've guessed that Wanda's alone with an unconscious Steve and is totally freaking out right now, you're correct]

[niffin]

[ She's too chicken to do this over any other medium. The issue's too hypocritical, too close to home. Over text, no one can see your hands shake. ]

Dr. Banner,

When you have a moment, could I ask you a few questions? It's about what happened on Cauduceus.

[ She's considered ignoring it and just watching him, insisting on shadowing the classes until her anxieties are assuaged. But her cover's too thin to keep up with that for long. If she does that, then sooner or later someone will actually ask her about physics. ]

Your position isn't in jeopardy. [ What she really wants to see is whether he lies. ] I've been told it was an accident of multiple factors, and you've been recommended by someone whose opinion I hold pretty highly.

But I'd be negligent to you and your students to not try and understand the situation.

[hyperkinesia]

[ The moment she mentions Caducus, he already knows what she's talking about. He can't say he's surprised, honesty - if anything he'd find it weird that she didn't eventually learn about what happened on that planet, and it's not like he's been making much of a point to keep it a secret.

But he has grown a little tired of explaining the situation time and again. So much so that he goes on to send her a long text in response to tell her the whole thing in one go, instead of answering things in little bits and pieces.

Text actually helps in that regard. This way he can write everything down and make sure he doesn't forget anything. ]

Some years ago, I was working with a team in a project about radiation resistance, or so we were told.
We didn't know that it was actually an attempt to replace an experiment that had happened some decades before, Project Rebirth. The intention was to create Super Soldiers.
I subjected myself to the experiment when I thought that we had been successful in achieving our goal. My body was flooded with gamma radiation. I should've died, but I'd been injected with a serum too. I didn't know it was actually a radiation-resistant serum.

So instead of dying, the experiment gave me a monster, the Hulk.
When my body releases certain levels of adrenaline, they cross with the gamma radiation and the transformation happens. Basically, anything that makes my heart speed up too much will make me turn.
I've learned to control it for the most part, but on rare occasions I can still be triggered by outside influences. In Caducus Primary, I was cornered by a group of natives and attacked, which made me lose that control.
It was my fault. I was trying to help people back to the ship but after they warned us to leave and became more hostile, I should have gone back to the ship. I thought I could still help, but it was a mistake with horrible consequences.
Usually he just runs away after some time, but being in a strange world, with all the people coming at him, I think it made him angrier. The planet was pretty brittle too, so it didn't stand much of a chance.

I can do controlled transformations, though. Those times I'm in control. I can help people, instead of hurting them.
But I don't do it unless I really have to.

[ He's honestly starting to wonder if he should put together a file with all this information for people to find easily. ]

I can simply not give the lessons, if you don't want me to. But I'm not going to turn green on the ship. If I feel there's danger that I might lose control, there's a cage on the cargo bay built especially for the Hulk. It wouldn't be the first time I've locked myself up in there as a preventative measure.

(( in response to this ))

what did the bartender say when oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, sodium, and phosphorous walked into his bar?

[hyperkinesia]

OH SNaP!
:P

What was the name of the first electricity detective?

[peridork]

Banner. Humans generally possess a particular fondness towards useless fluffy animals, correct?

[hyperkinesia]

Pets, yes. Why do you ask?

April 5th - Private Video

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Doctor Banner, I have a rather specialized request to make. Do you have some time?

[hyperkinesia]

I do, yes. [ Bruce nods at the camera in way of greeting, even if he's never talked to this person before. ] What can I help you with?

[takeitslow]

[A knock early in the morning and the book he lent Peter will be found sitting just outside the door. A note is tucked into the front cover with a 'not bad' scrawled on one side and a 'I'm sorry' on the other.]

[hyperkinesia]

[ The next day Peter will find the second volume of the series waiting in his mailbox, with a note that reads 'the story continues', and a small 'it's okay' added at the corner of the paper. ]

6/3; TEXT

[squadgoals]

[She's been meaning to do this since she arrived, but things kept getting so... well, hectic's a good word. But it's vacation time, now. No better time to fire off a quick letter!]

Dr. Banner,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Commander Shepard, and I was an arrival to the Moira a little more than 2 months ago. We haven't had the pleasure of meeting in person, but I wanted to send you a note to express my deep appreciation towards your letter of introduction to all incoming crew members.

Reading it answered a lot of my immediate questions, and helped me to orientate myself a lot faster than I would have otherwise. I know it must have taken some time and effort to put together, as well as some candid thought to include yourself as a threat. You truly have my gratitude, and no doubt the gratitude of every other new arrival in part.

Yours in service,
Commander Shepard

[She gives it a once-over, and shoots it off, realizing microseconds too late that she signed the damn thing as Commander Shepard twice. Well, old habits died hard.]

[hyperkinesia]

[ The message is... nice, actually. A tad too formal. Bruce tries to reply in kind but everything he writes feels too stiff and weird and he doesn't really need to be addressed like he's some kind of officer because it couldn't be farther from the truth.

He goes for something a little more casual instead, and hopes Shepard won't mind it much. ]

Hey,

I'm alright, thank you. I hope you've managed to settle in well. You probably know already that there's another version of you on board the Moira? I'm just saying this because I don't think she likes me much, so it surprised me a little to see your name in my inbox.

I'm glad the file proved useful to you. I'm always working on it and trying to add any important information so if you ever think of something, feel free to let me know. As for my personal file, I saw it as a necessity more than anything. My condition can no longer be kept a secret after certain events transpired, and I'd rather people learn all there is to know about it from me than hearing it by word of mouth.

Anyway, thanks for getting in touch. Also, feel free to skip formalities and just call me Bruce.

text; 6/3

[arcreact]

[ Late enough at night that it's actually more like 6/4, honestly ]

are you awake
actually, do you even sleep?
well whatever i'm gonna keep messaging you until you wake up anyway

[hyperkinesia]

[ And he knows Tony means it which is why he doesn't ignore the text. Though he kind of wants to. ]

Do I even sleep? What sort of question is that?
I'm awake now, thanks for that. What is it?

[chain_dash]

Do you have a more detailed version of the Moira's history?

[hyperkinesia]

Not really. There was a lot to go through and I was just trying to offer people a quick once-over. If there's anything specific, though, I might be able to help.

text; i'm honestly sorry

[arcreact]

if you need advice on having sex in public WITHOUT scaring the children
you should've just asked me

you shouldn't be

[hyperkinesia]

[ Oh my god what why. WHY. ]

Let me guess.
You've been talking to Daisy.

[text]

[soldiergenes]

You know to lay low during all of this, right?

[ The text might seem to come out of nowhere, and to some extent, it's exactly that. Snake may not know Bruce that well, but he's aware of his role in what happened on Caducus Primary. That particular tragedy had been fresh when Snake first arrived on the Moira, so he'd heard a lot about it. He's not sure if some of the newer arrivals would be aware, but it's impossible not to think of Bruce now that this has come to bite them in the ass.

Again, Snake may not know Bruce well enough to have any idea of how he'll react to this turn of events, but regardless of what kind of person he is, the result can't be good.

Hence the unexpected check-in. ]

[hyperkinesia]

[ It is out of nowhere. It's also almost perfectly timed considering what Bruce has been mulling over since they received the message from the Caduceans, but it's not going to change much. Bruce's mind is practically made up at this point, and it's not going to be a person he barely knows as it is that's going to talk him out of it.

Hell, not even his closest friend would manage to dissuade him right now. ]

Right. I'll keep that in mind.

[ Lay low and what? Leave the problem he caused for other people to solve? Yeah, he doesn't think so. ]

[imaginary_wife]

I know after that party you might not be up for talking, but I have an idea to run by you and anyone else you can get in on it.

[hyperkinesia]

[ The reply comes as audio, because Bruce doesn't want to make use of a voice-to-text option, but he also doesn't want to show his face on camera right now. ]

I'm all ears.

audio; - after Tony goes into cryo

[prorenataa]

[ His roommate left him with a list, and while Tony hadn't specifically written 'tell Banner I'm in cryo' it seemed the thing to do.

So sometime after he'd gotten Tony stabilized in cryo, Adrien had retreated to one of the labs and after some consideration, he'd pulled up Banner's MID contact. ]

Dr. Banner, my name is Dr. Adrien Arbuckal. I've just had to place Tony Stark into cryostasis.

[ Because that's how normal individuals started conversations with strangers ... right? ]

[hyperkinesia]

[ Yes it's definitely the thing to do. Even if it might upset Bruce, he'd much rather know than be left in the dark— figuratively and literally.

He's a regular visit around the cryo units, still too used to checking up on the systems there and seeing if anyone else has gotten stuck in one of them, but being blind doesn't exactly make it easy to move around the ship.

So the message comes as a particularly unpleasant surprise, but Bruce is quick to put two and two together. ]

Because of the glass, I take it? [ He doesn't say more than that, unsure of how much this man knows. ]

7/1; video

[arcreact]

[ After two weeks, this is how Tony chooses to announce his return: ]

Are your eyeballs squishy again? How many fingers am I holding up?

[ He's not even holding up any fingers, the dick. ]

[hyperkinesia]

I hope you're not thinking of using said fingers to poke at my squishy eyeballs.

[ Though he is seriously happy to hear from Tony right now. ]

I'm fine. All back to normal. [ Which is obvious in the video feed, as there's no trace of glass on his face. ] You?
