[Victoria is now sitting behind a rather large desk. There is an unnaturally large amount of paperwork strewn about the desk, and even though she is dressed in her usual, professional attire, anyone paying close attention will notice that she looks tired. She's hasn't slept since the accident.]This is Victoria Hand, acting CEO of Oscorp.

I assume Osborn will be re-instated when he comes back to life?

[victoriaous]

If he comes back, then we'll see.

[kingofrejects]

Seems like the resurrection scheme's been pretty reliable so far. Have there been exceptions?

[victoriaous]

I'm fairly certain that there have been people who have left the City and not returned.

[hellofashow]

Yes m'mam?

[victoriaous]

I have a use for your information gathering skills, specifically in regards to your "teamwork" skills.

[Encrypted]

[hellofashow]

Oh yeah? Well you know me, boss. I'm both a good information guy and a team player. When I need to be. What do you require?

[Encrypted]

[victoriaous]

It's a good thing that I don't need you to be a team player then, at least under the surface. I need someone that I can rely on, Axel, and you fit the bill better than most on this team. I need you to keep an eye on your teammates as best you can.

Thank you, GLaDOS.

Tell me, what do you know about Ms. Marvel?

HERO DESIGNATION: MS. MARVEL
CIVILIAN DESIGNATION: KARLA SOFEN
LEADER OF NORMAN OSBORN'S AVENGERS
ACCORDING TO COLLATED DATA AS WELL AS BRIEF
PERSON-TO-PERSON INTERACTION
SHE SEEMS PARADOXICALLY PREOCCUPIED WITH PERSONAL APPEARANCE
BUT INCAPABLE OF EXERCISING ANY MANNER OF PERSONAL DISCRETION
WHEN IT INVOLVES THE ANTAGONIZATION OF UNDESIRABLE PARTIES
MOST OF HER EXHIBITED PERSONALITY
TYPIFIES WHAT IS COMMONLY CONSIDERED TO BE 'FEMALE' BEHAVIOR

WHY

[victoriaous]

[She laughs a little at the last comment] That's all very true.

Karla is also a psychologist and, though I can't understand why, a unique talent for getting into people's heads and essentially poking their brains with a stick, for lack of a better metaphor.

She has a past of causing dissent among the previous teams that she's been on, and frankly I don't trust the cow as far as I could throw her.

So, especially with Norman out of the way right now, I was hoping that you could help keep an eye on her over the network.

I appreciate your willingness to help, Ms. Hand. I understand that these things are exhausting for everyone involved, and I want to extend my condolances. Due to the circumstances of this accident, I wish to assure you that we are pursuing every investigative venue to fully determine what happened.

Thank you, Detective Maza. Please don't hesitate to ask, and I'll do everything in my power to get everything that you need.

[nyc_detective]

If I have follow-up questions, I'll be sure to let you know.

[meowminx]

Nice to be told what my beliefs are.

[encrypted]

[victoriaous]

Don't take it so personally, Selina, it's just a public statement. I didn't expect you to be accusing Stark of murder anyway, at least not on the network.

[encrypted]

[meowminx]

Not exactly used to people speaking for me.

How are you holding up? You've known Norman longer than I have.

[encrypted]

[victoriaous]

I apologize, then. It wasn't my intention to put words in your mouth. I just want to get past the whole mess as soon as possible, and perhaps I was a bit thoughtless.

I'm... busy, but that's nothing new. There's just a lot more work to be done now, and even though I assume that Norman will come back eventually, that doesn't mean that I can just sit around and wait.
