WHO: Stark and Reyes (and iron and scarabs)
WHERE: Out in the Atlantic, but not too far!
WHEN: Let's say 12/3's late morning
WARNINGS: Nop
SUMMARY: This is a long-overdue good ol' fashioned save-the-day-off with techy suits
FORMAT: No



Scarab picked up the distress bulletin on its second run, as Jaime was circling around with the water in view. Commercial vessel, forty-some crew, volatile cargo blasting a dooming hole below deck, taking water fast. Coast Guard was responding, but a pair of helicopters dropping lines one by one wasn't going to cut it, especially with the temperature of the water.

Despite the details, Jaime's first thought was, Please don't be more ocean king drama. Please don't be more king ocean drama. It was a thought that persisted as he changed course, veering out toward open water. Please don't be more ocean king drama.

He really didn't know how to handle ocean kings.

Rescuing sailors? He could probably handle that. A construct platform here, a bit of pulling out shrapnel there...Yeah. He could do that. Just like any other disaster he'd been in on, only wetter. Reconfiguring for water weight wasn't going to be much of a problem for Mr. High-Tech Alien AI to be sure; Scarab was all confidence.

With just a dash of faux-boredom, just for sport.

"Yeah, yeah," Jaime grumbled. "We get it. You can do this stuff in your sleep. Now, come on!"
