We're pretty good for what we do. Started out as an independent venture that turned into a group effort.

Yeah, no, you don't want to do that. The security is touchy.

[He's skimming files but can't consider himself briefed yet. Still.]

SHIELD? Thats one I don't recognise, although I suspect it may be a universal truth that defence agencies can't resist an acronym.

I'll bear it in mind.

[definingfuture]

That... was actually something else.

[Sellout. He can hear it. Feel the resentment across dimensions.]

Sorry. You probably know how particular people can be over their personal inventions. This one is important to me.

I wasn't actually suggesting taking it for my coffee table.

Haven't bought one yet, for a start.

You'd be surprised. It wouldn't be the weirdest thing someone wanted it for.

I mean, usually it's something like world domination or beating me over the head with, but we get some weird types in my world. Sometimes they just like collecting things.

What I really need is a work place.

I'm afraid I'm not certain if you're talking about terrorist organisations or a disgruntled girlfriend. At least when it comes to beating you over the head.

Perhaps both.

And yes, working on that myself. Potentially ahead of the coffee table. I've been using the empty apartment across from me, but if there's a new wave of residents someone's likely to have questions about the car.

[definingfuture]

You know, sometimes it's both.

You have a car in the apartment across from you?

[fixes]

Where the couch used to be.

And two couches in mine, it's remarkably cosy.

[definingfuture]

I don't know whether to applaud your resourcefulness or feel bad for your eventual roommate.

They might like a car, but somehow I doubt they'll be too happy to find it in their room.

[fixes]

Quite. So I suppose I'll need a workshop eventually.

[definingfuture]

That might be something to consider for the whole team aspect. You know, just a thought.

[fixes]

Well, I have been recruiting.

Fiances are necessitating something of a delay, however. Man can't build an Insurance company from the ground up by bread alone, as I believe the idiom goes.

[definingfuture]

Always good to know. I'm interested, if you have an open spot.

Sounds like you could use someone to help with fundraising at least.
