mark vi suit ❦ private text to resnik, stark encryption 100% ❦ [ forward dated to the day of jump ]

[starked]

[ while sick with the sickness that effected everyone, tony had time to think long and hard about how he planned to deal with the potential consequences of what he had done prior to falling ill. if anything hotspur's death, no matter how accidental it might have seemed, was proof of there being something incredibly stupid about trusting ward and resnik with knowledge of anything.

even if they didn't kill him, the timing was so strange that there had to have been some connection. why have him die like that right after discovering something that big? of course, accusing them was merely a game of hearsay if you didn't know officially what happened beyond what everyone had seen (and heard) on the network.

so against his better judgment and gut, tony feels the need to send this message at resnik. no matter how it goes, he knows he's sending at least two more before the jump occurs to people he knows can complete the job he's doing even if he dies.

(though really he has to admit, he's kind of hoping it doesn't come to that.) ]

Resnik, the Tranquility's engineering genius of a first officer, a woman who clearly didn't kill anyone before a jump happened, do you have a minute? You can take the captain with you if you'd like. I feel like we need to have a conversation.

In person. Just this once. You up for it? Promise I won't make any of us late for some dates.

[ your flattery could use some work, tony. but she's got a feeling she knows what this is about. even if it isn't—you've got her attention. ]

I have more than a minute. Tell me when and where, and I'll be there.

[ he definitely knows that, but for once, he's not necessarily looking to flatter. but old habits die hard and all that jazz. ]

More than a minute is even better. Right now, a place where there aren't ears and eyes watching us. Normally I'd say engineering because it doesn't seem odd to have us both there, but us engineers are a decidedly nosy bunch. Anyone on the bridge right now? Unless you can come up with some place better that I'm allowed to see.

[ that they do. ]

Stark, way I see it, there isn't a safe place on this whole ship. But I seem to remember you wanting a tour - I'm willing to meet you at the bridge. We can start there.

Safe is actually relative. And I wasn't going for that, I was going for private minus Mr. I See Everything including weird entrances to mazes. Give me five minutes to actually get there before you do anything.

And color me surprised you even remembered. I knew you liked me. But once I get there, think we're going to test it a bit more. It'll be fun.

[ and okay maybe he's been been walking and stuff to try to get to the bridge while texting, he can multitask. ]
