16th Command; video
[The video clicks on to Tony looking harried and, well, sleep deprived in the lab he's been given access to. He should probably be sleeping, considering he should really be off his leg still and it's like, ass o'clock, but who's keeping track, right?
Also, he might just be waving at the camera with the skeleton of what seems to be a robotic arm.]
So, I have things. And I've kind of forgotten who they're for. Well, okay, no. This- [Have some robotic skeleton fingers wiggling] -is the only one I'm still not sure on, so if you're missing an arm and looking to gain one of the metal, not-so-organic kind, hi. Tony Stark. I'll be your creepy prosthetic tailor for the duration of your stay here. Tips appreciated.
That said, anyone want anything robotic improved, I'm looking for projects that hopefully won't end up in a miniature robot invasion this time around. So if you want an alarm clock that doubles as a taser, toaster, microwave, and guard dog, you're listening to the right broadcast.
[Thaaaaat being said, he has a few private call-outs to make, so. Bye, barge.]
[Private to Dean]
I have a present for you. [And no, unfortunately, it isn't an automatic toilet cleaner.]
[Private to Natasha]
I have a few things. Also, you owe me Russian lessons. [And if his tone is a little less asshole-ish than the rest of his broadcast it's completely just part of her imagination.]
[Private to Duo]
So, that robot pet thing. I have it. Pretty much bulletproof and self-repairing. To a point. Sophisticated, kinda independent AI with basic protocols and a developing personality. Also to a point. Consider it a less annoying, more advanced Furby. Probably going to be a work in progress until I can get it to just the right specs, so expect some upgrades and tweaks to be needed.
[Private to Charles]
[This message is... well, it's a little harder to get going. There's a long moment of silence as Tony just sits in the lab Charles has let him run "wild" in, turning a piece of metal over and over in his hands. Finally, he lets out a breath of air and looks square at the camera]
I'm an alcoholic. And I might need some help handling it.

Miniature robot invasion?
no subject
Tony is so sorry that is your lot in life.]
I'm guessing you're new here. [Tony. Tony, no. That explains nothing.]
no subject
I arrived on the 16th of October.
no subject
Whiiiiiich is recent. Ish. Yeah, minirobots were a thing. Apparently not everyone appreciates inventive genius, though.
no subject
What did you program them to do?
no subject
They were on an infiltrate and annoy mission. [The most legit of mini robots, basically]
no subject
I see.
no subject
Well, Charles and the other telepaths on board, but whatever.]
... That it? [d i s a p p o i n t i n g] Was kind of expecting more of a 'wow miniature robots? Why, Mr. Stark, how'd you pull that one off? You must be an actual goddamn genius!' instead of a... [He makes a face, and waves a hand.] That.
no subject
Robots are relatively common, in my world.
no subject
I'm liking your world already. [Well. Wait.] Is this one of those five laws things? Thou shalt not harm a human, thou shalt not piss off a human, thou shalt not be anything other than a glorified, human shaped Roomba?
no subject
no subject
[Little does he know, right?]
no subject
There are some that simply preform basic tasks as part of assembly lines or assist in other mundane manners. More advanced models, like myself, are not as uncommon as they once were, but have increased in number as technology has improved.
no subject
You're a robot? [Tell him more, you sexy mess of gears, you c:]
no subject
Yes. [WHAT ELSE WOULD HE BE, TONY.]
no subject
... And he means that in a totally non creepy robot serial killer sort of way.]
Huh. Wouldn't have called that. [WELL HOW WAS HE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?
Also please to be ignoring that kind of almost creepy glint of inventive interest in his eyes.] What year are you from?
[Because if they're creating completely human-like robots it has to be some ridiculous date Tony won't see unless he ganks an Asgardian time travel octagon. They have space traveling cubes, it only stands to reason they have other stuff on planet viking.]
no subject
2093. And you?
no subject
2012. [So not that far in the future? Awesome. Even if they're not from the same universe, advances in robotics shouldn't be that different...] No chance you're Stark tech, huh?
