"Have a good evening," she says, before finding somewhere to conjure an orange hammock, pillow, and blanket for herself (she offers for the others, but apparently people are leery about whether it'll fall apart on them. She sticks her tongue out at them, then settles in to sleep).

Phosphor finishes what she was talking to Loki about, going to sleep nearby her team, though she does so lightly.

Permalink

And Loki pulls a book out and sits in a tree, apparently just reading.

Permalink

Rete's new robot walks over to the tree. "Do you not require sleep?"

Permalink

"Not as much of it as humans. Humans sleep a lot."

Permalink

"I see. You prefer to read while the others sleep?"

Permalink

"Yeah. I like reading, and stuff's less exciting when everyone's resting, usually."

Permalink

Rete nods and goes back to stand by Lorica, watching.

Permalink

The night passes uneventfully.

Permalink

Lorica sits up after eight hours or so.

Permalink

The others are waking up too, some more easily than others - Phosphor, Hulkling, Jian all seem to have woken up easily, Loki and Jet never went to sleep, and Wiccan's being repeatedly poked by Jet as she grumbles about it being too early.

Permalink

"Morning, all. - is she always like this or is it Rete's fault, it kept her up chatting a bit."

Permalink

"She's just like this," Jet says, sounding annoyed.

Permalink

"Then I won't scold it." She gets up and stretches.

Permalink

Jet ends up flipping Wiccan out of her hammock, who falls a foot before remembering she can fly.

"Do we need to do anything specific before moving on Latveria?" Jet asks more broadly, ignoring how Wiccan's quietly grumbling at her.

Permalink

No one else seems to have thought of anything.

"Okay, good. We're going to try to get in, investigate, and get out without Doom noticing. Lorica, how much do you think you can mess with Doom's bots' sensory stuff?"

Permalink

"Like if I'm having at one with a screwdriver or over a network?"

Permalink

"Preferably over a network."

Permalink

"I wasn't optimizing this recent hijacking attempt for that, but I can probably do it in simple ways - cut out their vision, not make us effectively invisible. If you get me another bot or some kind of terminal they talk to I might be able to do better."

Permalink

" - Loki? Phosphor? Wiccan? You guys' powers combine ridiculously here, right - "

Permalink

"I have no idea how robots work but I think they'd notice me teleporting a terminal out. Would they?"

Permalink

"Probably, unless they lose contact all the time in random glitching."

Permalink

"I can cause power outages," the old man, Magneto, says. "Doom's grid isn't reliable enough for him to never have those - at the worst, he'll notice it's me, and I'll pretend to be attacking on my own, providing cover for you. He's only sometimes smart enough not to send anything containing metal after me."

Permalink

"Okay, I can probably work with that as long as you don't affect my stuff."
