[The screen flashes on, and Peggy’s face appears, lips curled into a slight frown, but eyes alert. They flash down, as if she’s looking at the bracelet on her wrist, before coming back up, and then she barks out, as if giving an order:]

If anyone is even remotely familiar with the acronym “SSR,” I should like to speak with you immediately.

[He really shouldn't be happy to see her, but he really, really is. Hence his inability to keep a stupid grin off of his face.]

Agent Carter. I'm afraid I can't help with anything but being familiar with the SSR.

[shootingshields]

[she's staring at the screen like she's just seen a ghost, which for all intents and purposes, she might as well have.]

Steve?

[usavatar]

[.....Right. That's right. The last she knew-]

It's me, Peggy. I'm- well, maybe not fine, since we're here, but... It's me. Might not need that rain check after all.

[shootingshields]

But the plane--

[she stops, trying to keep her voice from cracking. is this happening??]

You're alive. You're here, wherever this is--you... you survived?

SSR = SHITTYASS STUPID RIDDLEBULLSHIT, RIGHT?
NO, BUT SERIOUSLY, NO ONE'S GOING TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
UNLESS IT'S JUST A THING THAT HUMANS KNOW, WHICH COULD ALWAYS BE THE CASE.
YOU GUYS TEND TO KNOW A LOT OF REALLY STUPID, SOMEWHAT SUPERFLUOUS STUFF THAT I WILL NEVER FUCKING UNDERSTAND AND NEVER REALLY WANT TO FUCKING UNDERSTAND.

VIDEO because what is texting

[shootingshields]

[stares. flatly. completely and utterly unamused.]

If you've not heard of the acronym, then it makes no difference to you. Did you have a purpose in responding to my message other than childish attempts at being rude?

text/video because i am forever lazy and don't feel like changing it. also hi tomato

[selfkismesis]

EXCUSE ME?
WATCH YOUR WORDS, WOMAN.
THAT WAS NOT A CHILDISH ATTEMPT AT BEING RUDE.
THAT WAS A STRAIGHT UP, PROFESSIONAL AS FUCK MESSAGE OF RUDE.
NO CHILDISH, NO ATTEMPT.
ONLY RUDENESS AND THE WORST WELCOME YOU WILL EVER RECEIVE IN YOUR LIFE.
YOU'RE WELCOME.

FOR THE RECORD, YOU WOULDN'T BE ASKING STUPID SHIT IF YOU HAD LISTENED TO HYPTNWHATEVER AI WOMAN'S EXPLANATIONS.
THEY'RE FULL OF SHIT, AND SHE'S TRYING TO KILL US HALF TO TIME, BUT YOU'D AT LEAST REALIZE THAT WE'RE IN FUCKING SPACE.

scream who are you

[shootingshields]

Do not tell me to watch my words. And I don't know what constitutes childishness in your book, but it certainly come across that way in mine. Professional rudeness is a ridiculous concept.

Did it occur to you that I have listened? A ground assessment of any situation is useful. It is you giving the worst welcome right now, no one else.

[ironhowdoesit]

I'm good with technology, and a few other things.

[shootingshields]

Technology is the only thing I've asked for help with at the moment.

[ironhowdoesit]

I can take a hint; I'll stick to tech for now.

Lay it on me.

[shootingshields]

As strange as it might sound, there is very little here that bears resemblance to what I'm familiar with. The bracelet, for one, has functions I've certainly not encountered.

Carte--

( wait. that's not... sharon. welp. )

SSR? Yeah, I'm familiar.

[shootingshields]

[well that sounded like he was about to say "Carter" and he knows the SRR. but she needs to be sure first 8|]

Familiar in what context? A member or simply affiliated?

[hawkwards]

Can't really be a member of a disbanded organization, can you?

[shootingshields]

Disbanded? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Perhaps we're speaking of different organizations.

Don't know that term. Sorry. But- people seem helpful enough for new arrivals. Least they were for me. Detailed information should be forthcoming._

VIDEO hurr

[shootingshields]

There's no need to apologize. But it's good to know there are helpful people here, thank you.

[gammapulsed]

Least I could do. Just arrived yesterday myself, so. Understand where you're coming from. A little at least._

[shootingshields]

Yes, I would imagine so. It's almost a relief to have others in the same situation, but just as alarming to know it's not a fluke experience.
