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

Saved the human race, huh.

Mechanical dictatorship?

[floodprophet]

Mechanical dictatorship. As in the Porter. And yes. I have, in fact, saved the human race. [Hushed, conspiratorial:] Once or twice.

[yourentirelife]

Really. From what sort of menace?

voice;

[floodprophet]

The Cylons. A robotic species that seems to be exclusive to our worlds. [Pause.] Given that we created them, that fact remains unsurprising.

[fishnets]

You can still wear a cape.

[floodprophet]

Clever. Do you?

voice;

[fishnets]

I try! I prefer coattails, myself.

voice;

[floodprophet]

So you're an intellectual crime fighter. With a cape. Or coattails. Do I have that correct?

[reformedrogue]

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?

My company could, possibly, offer a job to someone of your talents. I am the CEO of StarWave INC, a technology company that deals primarily in medical prostheses and robotic companions.

What do you mean, exactly, by ...'robotic companions?'

voice;

[loltraitorlol]

What?! Oh, come on, you didn't seriously believe those news reports from a while back?! You can look it up on these comms, those allegations were slanderous!

The only companions we sell are animal-like. Little dogs. Cats. Fluffy animals for the elderly and the blind.

I suppose you could turn a TAPE unit into a companion but they're more meant for rescue work and heavy lifting...

[floodprophet]

Sorry, a TAPE unit?
