[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.]

These were beautiful for machines.

My compliments to him.

Don't encourage him.

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.

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.

...So people are willing to give people work to do here? You're willing to let us into laboratories?

[Birkin pulls off his classes. Taking a cue from Wesker, he's been wearing much thicker and more difficult to see through glasses. In this case, they're almost black.

It's his eyes you see.

exposure to the G-virus has left him stronger then your typical wet-noodle scientist, but it's also left it's marks. Namely his bright red almost catlike eyes.]

...Doctor William Birkin. Confused. I feel I should say.

[It's interesting - that exciting rush of wondering if there more people like us hasn't really faded with time, or with the frustration and anger he currently feels about. Well. Everything to do with this fiasco - but he doesn't ask about it yet.]

Professor Charles Xavier, and yes, if your warden or the wardens in charge of the facility are alright with it. What's your field of study?

A double phd. Genetics and Virology along with...[He waves a hand] A few years at John Hopkins but my wife was the doctor. I was seventeen, doing internships was the last thing on my mind when research in and of itself had a lot of interesting possibilities.

...I see.

You're a geneticist as well? I also have Ph.D.s in psychology and biophysics, but genetics has always been more my area of interest. What was your thesis about?

The practical applications of regenerative viruses. Each virus, contains enough DNA to procreate and adapt naturally to it's environment. The ebola virus had just been discovered, and I made a hypothesis that if the negative traits of the virus were to be removed..

It's complex. Adapting the DNA of it, of any virus - to eventually...regrow a limb. Apply strength. Anything.

I'm guessing it didn't turn out as you'd hoped.

I only make the best.

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

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

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

[YOU ARE AN ABUSIVE MOTHER, CHARLES XAVIER.]

I can only imagine.

[Have you seen any of the trilogy films that is entirely accurate LOOK WHAT YOU'RE TURNING HIM INTO.]

[If you start losing your hair Tony is going to laugh forever.]

We'd have a fully automated pipe cleaning team. So, actually, you might want to form an official apology to Dean Winchester once I tell him his his toilet cleaning duties are still in place just because you couldn't handle tiny speaker bots.

[He's also going to name his ulcer after you and Erik. Tony Lensherr? Erik Stark?]

That can be one of your projects, if you'd like. Do something actually productive, rather than being bored.

[Go for Anthony Erik Stark. Sorry, but he's totally claiming more responsibility. It's almost a competition at this point.]

Hey, robohell was productive.

[Do you want to know what else he could have been doing?]

...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.

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

...The people I worked for liked to recruit the 17 year old graduates out of Johns Hopkins and other medical universities. Me for instance. well I was 16 but..

[hapless shrug. WHAT'S THIS. TWO SUPPOSED GENIUSES. Too bad birkin is so evil.]

...Most impressive. I took one apart, I hope you don't mind. It was practically a living organism. I loved it.

[Oh hey, look. His mental creeper alarm is going off.

He was pretty sure that alarm was totally busted.]

Yeah, not minding the robot gutting if it means you didn't hunt down a cat and do it.

[u n s u r e]

...What? [No please. He doesn't hunt for his own lab specimens.] ...No. No. I don't do that.

Wouldn't be the weirdest thing I'd heard. [He points at the screen, though] Let me guess - going by the living organism quip - biologist of some sort, right?

Genetics and Virology. Double PHD.

Doctor. Right.

Didn't have the patience to snag a Doctorate in anything. [But with all the information rattling around in his head, he might as well have like. Fifty of them.]
