[Those who may be interested may wish to note that Beckett no longer sounds like he's coughing up a lung or two. Instead he sounds - clinical may be a good word here. Distracted. Detached. Which may be a little alarming considering the content of the message.]

For the sake of an experiment, I was wondering if someone - or ideally, someones - would be willing to donate a small quantity of their blood. Nothing outrageous - a few spoonfuls will do. I'm happy to give some supplies in trade, as a further incentive.

[And as an afterthought:]

Oh. Paint should also be useful, if you have any kind that would work on brick on glass. Any colour. [And as a further afterthought, with a bit of a groan:] Please do not try to pass off red paint as blood or vice versa.

[The video feed will show the inside of a tool shed where a small, flying robot is moving around in the dim light cast by the tablet.]

Hey, Trinity! Wibblelips! Look what I found. It flies, it screams, it's alive. It also happens to be the reason I'm stuck in a shed for the night. Now, I got a screwdriver.

[The screwdriver is held up into view in a pink-gloved hand.]

And I got a hammer.

[The screwdriver is set down and the hammer is picked up to show.]

It's a hammer of justice. It's a hammer of warning. And it's going to be the hammer I take to that freaking thing unless you tell me how to get it to stop screaming in my face. Hiro, you needed some robot parts, right? Might be able to get you some.

[Having gleaned all he can from the network and figuring out more-or-less where he is on the maps, Steve is now slogging through the northwest park, probing the snow wall with a piece of metal. He's maybe breathing a bit hard; snow-slogging's a heck of a lot more work without the serum.]

Hello. Steve Rogers, I'm new. Had the run-down thanks to Spoiler and the others. This is all just—so great, isn't it? [sarcasm]

Couple questions, somewhat related. What can anyone tell me about people named Margaret or Peggy Carter, Loki Laufeyson, and Clint Barton? And is there or was there anyone here that mentioned the Avengers, or S.H.I.E.L.D.? ...Or the S.S.R.?

'Preciate it, thanks.
