[Private to the Admiral]

[Somewhere, a ways away from the communicator, you can probably hear a reedy verse of Rolling in the Deep trying to figure out a way to catch up to Charles, who sounds extremely exasperated and frustrated, but also like he's desperately trying to be polite even though he kinda hates you, boss man, because they're everywhere and they're never going to clean them all up by themselves.]

As Mr. Stark's evidently lost control of his project, I would appreciate some assistance cleaning up his mess to make sure no one got their hands on anything they shouldn't have.

[Public, after speaking with the Admiral]

The robots have all been rounded up and disposed of. I'd like to sincerely apologize for anyone harassed by them and assure you that an appropriate punishment has been worked out.

[ooc: And thus ends the robot infestation. Anyone who adopted the little critters, with the pre-discussed exception of Perry, will find their little friends have vanished, along with any components people might have cannibalized from them.]

[bargemods]

Naturally, Professor. Always happy to help.

[Have a broom. THAT'S WHAT YOU MEANT, RIGHT?]

Private

[wedonot]

[NO IT IS NOT. :c Are you always this obnoxious or do you just have a crush on him?]

I meant something a bit more of the magically spiriting away variety. I have no idea how many of them there are or what people have done with the ones they've managed to catch, and I don't want anyone turning them into some sort of doomsday device.

Private

[bargemods]

That's very noble of you, Professor.

...but they're just adorable, aren't they?

Private

[wedonot]

Yes, they're very cute. But I would assume one of your passengers trying to cause damage to your ship would be against your interests as well as the rest of ours.

[bodilesswarrior]

[Barbara's sulking is quite obviously put on.]

I named mine, you know.

[...But that might be true.]

[wedonot]

Sorry. I thought it would be pushing it to ask the Admiral to make exceptions for people who wanted to keep theirs.

[bodilesswarrior]

[wrly] Honestly, I'm amazed you got him to do anything at all, so well done there.

I'd have asked you not to be too hard on him, before - [She just stops, and shakes her head. He knows.]

[wedonot]

It's being taken care of. [lol he is also never fessing up to hitting him. :c]

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

While those robots were unspeakably annoying, your inmate does appear to be very technologically skilled. Would you be opposed to putting his skills to a good use?

[Private]

[wedonot]

He's already on the maintenance and repair team, and I've given him several projects to hopefully better occupy his time while also improving conditions on board.

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

Would you see if he's got any experience in making prosthetic limbs?

[Private]

[wedonot]

He has some applicable experience. Is there a limb in particular you're interested in?

[mypreciousgvirus]

These were beautiful for machines.

My compliments to him.

[wedonot]

Don't encourage him.

[mypreciousgvirus]

why? Genius should be encouraged. [There's genuine confusion there.] For something so small it was almost a living organism.

[This is such high praise as far as he's concerned. Seriously.]

Granted...it's not the best use of one's time but I'm impressed.

[wedonot]

Because it was disruptive and there are much better things he could be spending his time working on.

I don't believe we've been introduced.

[aggravating]

I only make the best.

[Too late, Charles. He's encouraged.]

[wedonot]

And next time, perhaps they should be used more constructively. [MOM IS STILL MAD AT YOU, TONY.]

[aggravating]

Uh. You just didn't wait until their secondary programming kicked in.

[YOU ARE AN ABUSIVE MOTHER, CHARLES XAVIER.]

[mypreciousgvirus]

...Absolutely masterful. I was never particularly into robotics, but I have a healthy respect for the people who work with it. Some of my closest colleagues graduated from MIT.

[aggravating]

MIT? Graduated there when I was seventeen. [God he loves showing off.] Foremost mind in robotics back home. They're kind of my thing.

[Aya looks a little sadder than usual at this]

Was it truly necessary to dispose of them?

video

[wedonot]

Yes.

video

[looksfine]

Why?

video

[wedonot]

Because I wasn't running the risk of someone getting their hands on equipment they could then turn into something harmful.
