[ When the feed click on, Tony manages to look annoyed and impressed all at once (you know, those emotions that he manages to bring out in other people pretty much all the time). He is sitting at a desk, the communicator propped up against something, and he has a small screwdriver (the micro kind) between his teeth as he speaks.]
So just how much shit am I going to get in if I try to take this apart and merge it with my Stark Phone? Not that I really care about how much shit I get in, but-- I mean, it is shiny new alien tech and you just gave it to me, you gotta know I'm gonna try taking it apart.
[ And figuring out ways to hack it. And make it better. And--
He takes the micro screwdriver out of his mouth and flashes a sharp smile.]
Also, as far as kidnappings go, this has gotta be one of the nicer ones, so no complaints here. Though I gotta know; anywhere I can get my hands on some more tools? Maybe a spare communicator, or three, or maybe an interface with the ship's core navigational systems...
[ That last one is said with only the slightest hint of 'I'm kidding' (because he isn't kidding, he is going to look for one no matter how much he has already been told 'NO', that's just like taunting him ok).]
Oh, and where might I find alcohol? Is that a thing in this section of space? I hope it is because I really don't want to try distilling my own shit again, that was a disaster the first three times and I really don't think I have managed to get better.

You might want to get that fixed.
[ There's no offense in it anymore, though. He might not have warmed to him yet but he isn't quite so suspicious. ]
I'm a Cylon. Artificial intelligence in a body that's part organic and part synthetic. It's a little more complicated than, but that explanation's served me all right since I got here.
[ He nods toward camera. ]
That device your AI's on. What happened to it?
no subject
Yeah, I know. I am working on it. Hence the need for tools.
[ though he totally stops looking at the phone to listen. look, he is interested in this kind of shit okay. There are those that would claim Tony wasn't all human, though at this point in his life, he is pretty sure he is mostly human.
mostly.]
Huh, so inorganic artificial intelligence in an modified organic host? I mean, you gotta realize I am now curious as fuck okay. Like-- well, even the playing field and all since I am sure you expect most humans to be luddites and, unfortunately, a lot of them are, but, whatever, point is... [ wait, what was his point? oh yeah.]
The point is I am so not one of them and I have a raging science boner right now, you have to elaborate. Please?
[ look, he said please! ]
Also, part crash landing, part I am trying to fix it. She's also in the suit too, back up because I am not losing her.
no subject
Ever think about giving her a body of her own? It's easy to do.
[ Not that he should be offering to create Cylon-like people on this ship. But... He's a scientist. He does these dumb things. ]
Most humans hate us. With good reason. Cylons nearly wiped the human race out. [ But he'll talk about it, because he wants the peace to last and he means no one on this ship harm. ] What's the tech like where you're from? Most of the people I've spoken to come from times that aren't advanced as mine. Makes it hard to talk to them sometimes.
no subject
Uh, she kind of has one? I mean, she has a virtual projection that allowed her to manifest anywhere in any of my buildings and interact with all matters, organic and inorganic, but she never expressed the desire for more, not that she couldn't make her own if she wanted.
[ except that one time she pitched a fit and kidnapped him but-- ehhh details. he ignored her, so really she was bored.]
Weird, you fuck up one time...[ he doesn't sound upset or surprised by this revelation.] You ever try pointing out to the humans that they try to wipe out the human race on the regular? Also, no judgement, I have actively ended the universe more than once.
[ ...wait.
that probably is a thing you should tell people either. fuck. space jump and stress and no sleep really are not his friends.]
Um, what I mean is, it was an accident. Mostly. As for tech, this space ship isn't too far out of reach of what we had. Or I had at least. [ smug Tony is smug. look at how smart he is. oh yes. ] But I will warn you now, you start me on tech and I will not shut up okay, I am an engineer and -- yeah.
