As reluctant as I am to bow to the whims of a mechanical dictatorship, I do enjoy helping others. [Beat.] Unfortunately, my capabilities have a considerably more intellectual bent than putting on a cape and beating up common criminals. I am a scientist, well-versed in genetics, biology, computers, and a number of other fields I'm sure would prove

I'd suggest approaching Stark Industries for a job. They are import-friendly and their science division is, I think, virtually unparalleled.

[floodprophet]

Really. And how would I get in contact with this Stark Industries? What do they do, exactly?

[reformedrogue]

A little bit — or a lot, really — of everything, but I'm really only acquainted with the science division, as that's where I work. Sonic technology. Contacting Tony Stark or Virginia Potts over this network will almost certainly get you an interview, if not more.

[floodprophet]

Sonic technology. What sorts of projects does that entail? Or would that be confidential?

[reformedrogue]

The non-weapon applications are admittedly limited — Stark does not do munitions — but right now I'm working on several different types of hearing aids, which I'm hoping would increase positive sentiment toward imports, and some marine sonar equipment. There are plenty of other departments, though.

[floodprophet]

Well. That sounds like an option well-worth pursuing. Thank you. [Pause.] And your name is?

[reformedrogue]

[ slightest of hesitations; he never knows what to say anymore. ] Piper. Good luck with that.

[floodprophet]

Piper. It's a pleasure. And how has, uh-- how has your time been under Mr-- Doctor? -- Mr. Stark? How long have you been working for him?
