[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.]

[it's cool she's not fessing up to considering blowing shit up either]

Glad to hear it.

[Charles]

Erik might not be satisfied, though, no matter what you do.

I'm well aware of that, thank you.

[There's a snappy retort on her lips, but she bites it back.]

...It's a tough situation. [And yes, she does sound genuinely sympathetic.] Maybe some sort of contained confrontation could help.

I appreciate the advice, but I'm not particularly eager for the two of them to be put in closer quarters than they already are at least until all the involved parties [Himself included. :V] have had enough time to cool off.

[A slight, wry smile.] Understandable. [From his perspective, at least.]

Has it always been like this?

They've had a few disagreements ever since Mr. Stark arrived on the Barge, yes.

[Her eyebrows arch. Barbara knows an understatement when she hears one.] Must be frustrating.

Extremely.

Any hope of them coming to a truce? [...She doesn't sound that optimistic.

And at this point she doesn't figure she'd mind seeing Erik beat the shit out of Tony on a regular basis, but that seems counter-productive for everyone.]

[Oh god please do not encourage him. :C]

Knowing the two of them as well as I do, I wouldn't encourage getting your hopes up for the foreseeable future.

[I um might have done that already. >.>]

Can't say I blame Erik, at least.

[We're never getting out of here. :c]

I don't think anyone would.
