Hi everyone,

If you don't already know me from the safehouse or the guide, I'm Fitz, one of the arrivals from the first transport. Prior to being here, I was a weapons and technology expert at SHIELD. Now, I’m a Pulsar engineer and, more importantly, an agent of Morningstar.

Recently, @ojiro.juniper approached me with the clever idea to kickstart some research and development efforts. We’re working on a way to bankroll this, and we’ll let you know how that develops in due course. For now, regardless of where discussions have evolved on the nature of organisation and leadership, we need your assistance with some big endeavors, both for the Displaced and Morningstar.

1. As some of you may know from the raids, Morningstar has a cache of unidentified weapons in its local store. We don’t know what they do, how they work, how dangerous they are, and so on, but I want to find out. So, let's discuss a plan: Any thoughts or ideas for how to approach the cache and suss everything out safely would be welcome.

Reckon we’ll need at least one colour-coded spreadsheet. [ ***NOT JOKING ]

2. We could use a team of engineers for ad hoc projects. Presently, I’m exploring tech that could counter both the UNA and the creatures that keep popping up, as well as give us more freedom to act whenever trouble comes our way — all by my lonesome.

If this sounds like something you’re interested in, whether or not you have the technical know-how to get to work immediately, or you want to learn on the job, let me know. Can’t pay you in anything except snacks, but I can assure you they’ll be bug free.

3. Hi, this is Ojiro. In addition to the above, I also need an engineer for personal reasons, and I will pay you. I need someone with a lot of experience with tech as advanced as the standard here, preferably lots of hands-on engine work. Message me if you're interested!

Cheers.

[ Check out here for more deets on the cache and here for some OOC knowledge of what Fitz is working on personally. He’ll share details of the latter strand of work with any individuals wanting to form a geek squad c: For #3, interested applicants can just private message Ojiro on this post! I'll be throwing together a plot engagement incorporating what characters ICly suggest in the coming weeks! ]

[ let him talk to you about the cortical stack in his neck sometime, fitz. ]

haven't tried. haven't really taken that much damage to need to be healed.

[ he hadn't really tried after his fights with amos and jason. but, maybe that was the next step. ]

it should work but won't know until someone manages to land a blow or shoot me or stab me.

[ which shouldn't take too long. he hadn't made a lot of friends. ]

[retravel]

[ this part, he leaves open: ]

Fascinating. I'd heard you encountered a certain amount of damage recently.

[ referring to The Incident

then PRIVATE. ]

Have you thought about testing your limits?

[ oh fITZ ]

With superficial damage, I mean.

[resleeves]

nothing i can't handle.

[ it hadn't killed him this time so he was counting it as a win for him even if they'd both come out looking battered. well, he had. she'd looked just fine thanks to his power. ]

[ when fitz switches to private, he thinks he knows what might be coming. ]

thought about it but haven't yet. i don't trust too many people to not shoot me in the head. but, i have to admit that i'm curious too.

private forever.

[retravel]

Don't need to start with shooting.
Could look into lesser tests, if you'd really like to know.

Can't afford to blow my reputation with a homicide, if that's comforting.

[ his rep as mr morningstar, that is. mrs morningstar might shoot him, in that case. ]

[resleeves]

so what, you're thinking of stabbing? punching me in the face? cutting off a finger?

[ go hard or go home. ]

if i'm not permanently maimed, i'll do it. i'm curious as to what i can do as well. might as well find out by letting someone do something they've probably wanted to do for awhile.

[ but he has to add: ]

i wouldn't tell anyone you killed me, if that's comforting.

[retravel]

I'll get started on the friendship bracelets.

[ so dry ]

Could try minor incisions. Avoid veins. See what happens.

[ and maybe giving the guy who hurt daisy some minor injuries is not unappealing, y'know, abstractly. ]

[resleeves]

[ uh, she hurt him first in an unprovoked attack! just remember that. ]

fine. name the time and place and i'll be a guinea pig.

[ no one could say he wasn't helping. ]

[retravel]

[ yeah yeah yeah he's just gonna privately appreciate the moment...

well seeing as he's an eligible bachelor in spacious flat all by his lonesome, he sends the address of casa de shield. ]

Tomorrow evening suits. Hope you like whisky.

[resleeves]

i like anything that's alcoholic. i'll be there.

[ he'll forgive you for the pain you are about to bring if you get him drunk. ]
