Are we all done searching for the end of the rainbow?

Out of sheer curiosity: Did anyone actually find anything, or was that just another wild goose chase?


That aside. Ms Pond, if you and your companion try and break into Mr Stark's lab again, I'll resort to more drastic measures than those involving Dummy and the fire extinguisher. Same goes for anyone else who has the bright idea of trying to sneak into places they have no business being in, mystery and excitement and detecting detective stuff [ his voice makes it clear that's a quote and equally clear what he thinks of it ] notwithstanding. Is that clear?

I should give Dummy a medal.




And you, too, I guess.

[boutant]

What are they trying to detect, how much alcohol he has in his office?

[warmachine]

Your priorities are all wrong. [ Paaause. ] Though I guess Dummy did all the hard work in this case.

[warmachine]

You know, I didn't ask what the big mystery was.

[boutant]

That's too bad.

Security is all technology-based so far, right?

[warmachine]

For the most part. I'm the only non-technological feature of security.

[boutant]

We've got a wizard on staff, you know. Maybe he could add some features that can't be hacked through.

[ironmanic]

Of course he did. I made him.

[grins]

I'm just curious how they got in.

[warmachine]

Something about a sonic screwdriver. You might want to talk to them.

[warmachine]

Could be useful. Who's the wizard? I'll go talk to them.

[boutant]

Percy Weasley. [ What she doesn't say is that she knows he just got out of a war and therefore should know a bit about security, but she's thinking it. ]

[warmachine]

What's he usually do?

[boutant]

He helps out in engineering sometimes, testing things with magic. Other than that, you'd have to ask him.

[warmachine]

I'll be sure to do that. Thanks, Ariadne.

[boutant]

No problem. Let me know if you need anything, okay?

[warmachine]

Yeah. I still owe you a visit in engineering.

[boutant]

Curses notwithstanding, I'll be there all week.

[warmachine]

I'll make sure to drop in one you. Now that we're not in the desert anymore.

[boutant]

If I'm not in my office, ask around; one of the boys will know where I am.

[warmachine]

Got it. I'll see you around.

[ironmanic]

Sounds like a delicious alcoholic drink if you ask me.

[warmachine]

I doubt they managed to get into your lab virtue of a cocktail.

[ironmanic]

If I were a guard, I might be convinced.

[warmachine]

Yeah, but you're you. Your computer system shouldn't be that easily convinced, man.

[ironmanic]

JARVIS was clearly drunk. There's no way they could have gone past my security otherwise.
