Let's do this One Last Time [video]
All right, people. I’m going through the archives of this place to convert all the parchment confetti into indexable data sheets.
You can thank me later for saving you all the headache.
[ The vibe of this is an 8 AM Stand-Up Meeting rather than a gathering of guardians. The video's pov is from his lab, which in addition to the completed gigacomputer, was beginning to have half-finished little magitech doohickeys scattered in sparse nooks of free space. The amount of spiderbots seems to have been left at one (1) so far.]
First item: Mission debriefs. If you've fought any dark forces recently and have extra concerning details to share, we should write it down instead of keeping it in our heads.
Second: Current Projects. Anyone who's a friend to reindeer - you ought to talk to Phil and do him a solid for all the holiday prep. For the science nerds lurking around, I’d like to borrow your brains over here.
[ He'd normally have Lyla take care of this, but he's stuck with non-sentient computers. He hates it! ]
Last: Introductions for the new kids. And universe number, if your world has one of those - the chalkboard maps are getting digitized. I'll start.
My name is Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man of Nueva York. No, they aren't vampire fangs. [ tired hand wave, as if recapping for the millionth time. ] I‘ve been mopping up messes in my neck of the multiverse until getting picked for fairy-tale duty with the rest of you.

She bobs her head and bites her lip as she takes a moment to fully process and understand what he's saying about spacetime.]
Okay. I'm going to paraphrase what you said, just to make sure I got it:
There's something about me that's fundamentally contradictory to the way my universe is supposed to flow. I'm going to assume that it's something that didn't show up for Stacia, so it's unlikely to be something inherent to our universe.
[Her brow furrows as she follows the thread of logic.]
I imagine she would also have at least a little bit of a fucked up timeline. If you're basing your readings off of the physical plane of our dimension, you may not be picking up stuff from the Spirit World. Some parts of that place experience something similar to time dilation, so there's a possibility for some discrepancies in both of our personal linear timelines compared to the material world's.
Could it be that?
[She has a feeling it isn't, but it's always good to start from the most basic of possibilities.]
no subject
[ he says the words before mulling over the implications entirely, and then stops.
It felt cruel to tell her that it was like being a walking paradox that shouldn’t exist. Even with Miles, he had to be possessed by a particular vicious rage to tell him the way he did. ]
Like I said, it’s preliminary. It’s inconclusive. I can’t make assumptions about how your dimension works based off two readings - one I haven’t even looked at properly.
[ that part was true. he can couch it in simply wanting to do some due diligence. ]
no subject
The fact that he can even read it on his science-doohickey makes her feel- something. She'll have to figure out exactly what later.]
Well, considering this is my second time getting whisked away, and none of the dimensions I've been in have collapsed, I can't be all that dangerous.
[She rocks back and forth from toe to heel, channeling out some of her impatience physically so she doesn't become her most annoying self.]
How long do you think analyzation will take? Is there anything I can do to help?
no subject
[ he closes the holoscreen. it's rude, but he was often rude to his own bosses. ]
You're fine. If you haven't experienced any signs of glitching, or haven't seen it out in the wild at all, then it's nothing you need to worry about.
no subject
Can you at least send me the raw data? I know I can't actually read it, but I would feel better if I have access to it.
[Who knows, maybe she can get Tim or one of the other Spiders to look at it. Cammie's more of a programming and engineering genius, temporal physics aren't exactly her wheelhouse, but there has to be somebody she can ask to interpret it sooner rather than later. They're her molecules! She has a right to know!]
...Okay, you say "glitching" as if that's a term is applicable to this situation and I should know how. I'm sorry to ask more of you, I know you're busy, but if it's not too much trouble, could you tell me what I should be looking out for?
[Is she weaponizing her long-perfected guileless expression and politeness to get what she wants? A little, but she doubts it's actually going to take that much time out of Miguel's day to explain it. It's not like some extra manners hurt.]
no subject
[ the way he said it sounds... bad. ]
It's hard to miss. Scrambles the matter all wrong, intersecting with nearby dimensions. Sometimes it fuses the objects back together incorrectly. It's always a lightshow as it happens - visible light isn't a fan, neither is air. You'll probably hear the boom if it happens near you.
Obviously, this will be painful if you're the one experiencing it, but not lethal right away. It's what happens to anomalies with no stabilizing device in the worlds I've traveled to. But it seems like we're protected here.
no subject
[She guesses?]
I mean, in the sense that it hasn't happened. The glitching itself sounds very bad.
[She chooses to change gears before getting lost in the weeds on that one.]
So. You have a dozen other things you need to do. How can I help? Most of my references are in another universe, but I do make a half-decent admin assistant.
no subject
and... he wonders if it would be better if she let things lie rather than get too curious about this line of inquiry. ]
You said you were familiar with interface? I would be interested in your thoughts on the user end of what I have been drafting. There's the mission reports, the data entry for training the sorting goober, converters and readers for books... Take your pick.
no subject
I'll start with converters, because those seem like the most immediately helpful.
[She pauses, as if just remembering something. It's an act, albeit a good one. She never forgot.]
Could you send me the data you got from the scan?
no subject
This data needs to be kept on one device, for now.
[ he really wasn’t trying to be difficult or controlling here - it was just a matter of being cautious. Personal feelings aside, he is treating their data the same as any proper secret at Alchemax or the Spider Society. ]
Like I said earlier, this reading has your signature on it. It would be a bad idea to make duplicate keys for a lock I haven’t even finished building yet.
[ to use Elle’s choice of words regarding the safe. ]
You’re welcome to see it here in the lab when you like. At least until I meet with Cammie and the others to agree on a security protocol.
wrap?
She perks up when a Miguel mentions a familiar name.]
Cammie's working on this? That's great, she'll do great.
[Elle feels a bit better about the whole project knowing her friend's also in on the project.]
Where are the converters? I can get started on that now.
wrap!
[ Being mildly snarky, but he’s glad that she agreed to it. He’ll accept one less instance of needing to bicker with teenagers. ]
Right then, follow me and I’ll show you where to get started.
