Good morning, Barge. [Hint: It's definitely not morning.] It is I, your absent leader Tony Stark, addressing you from the great beyond. [He takes a sip of his gin and tonic, swirls the ice in the glass, and sets it down. Looking squarely into the camera, he clasps his hands and leans forward just slightly

[Oh, hello, Tony. Stark Industries vs. Veidt Enterprises, y/y?]

Welcome back to the Barge, sir. If the last thing you remember is an asthmatic gentlemen's tongue then I assume you missed the animal flood. It was exactly what it sounds like and relatively uneventful.

Adrian Veidt, by the way. I don't believe we've met.

[Y/Y!]

Animal flood. [He runs a hand across his face with a mild groan and then plucks his glass off the desk, downing the entire contents, ice aside.]

Adrian Veidt, it's a pleasure. Tony Stark, Stark Industries. You're an inmate. How long have you been here?

Veidt Enterprises. We must be from different worlds.

You're very clever to assume I'm an inmate, and correctly too. I've been here for one month and four days, Mr. Stark.

While cleverness comes naturally to the Stark family, I'm afraid it's a whole night's research accounting for that particular discovery.

We must be. I assume Veidt Enterprises is sizable -- as is Stark Industries. I've only met one woman aboard who's heard of my company.

Call me Tony.

[Amused] You could have simply asked about matters like that. Even most inmates know their lies would be found out rather quickly.

Sizable? You could say that. [The Veidt logo is ubiquitous, after all. Adrian Veidt is a man who likes attaching his name to everything.]

Alright, then. It's a pleasure to meet you, Tony. [That charming smile these rich schmucks specialize in? There it is.]
