[video] Enter the Fanboy

[The video feed pops on, to a slightly breathless sounding voice and a worried pair of blue optics.]

...must have gotten knocked out.

Perceptor? Verity? Springer? A-anyone?

[He tries to make his voice sound a little calmer, a little less unnerved. ]

I'm okay. Something must've, uh, hit me on the head or something.

[Not, you know, the passing out thing. Of course not]

Tell me it's over.

Tell me...we won.

...

Tell me I'm not alone.

Yes. I know. Life isn't like stories.

[A sigh.] I wish it was.

Oh. So. I did die. [Shouldn't be this much of a shock, should it? ] Yes. I remember. But that wasn't about what I could do to Overlord.

[That was about a broken friendship. Overlord was about broken ideals.]

I did. I thought it was what I was always meant to do.

I was...wrong.

[He nods.] I have and I've missed a lot. But that's, well, that's not here.

[Ironfist sighs frustrated at himself.]

Sorry. If it helps, you were right. I wasn't cut out to be a Wrecker.

Ironfist. I'm...just a scientist.

Sometimes it's better that way.

I've made a lot of mistakes and I don't want to do that with what time I have left.

[A sober moment as he scans the file. There's no way he could have turned this into a Declassified, even if he could believe in that anymore. ]

And while we're here? Is there, uh, is there anything I can do?

It's nice to meet you sir Ironfist sir... SCIENTIST>/small> are really important.

Yeah. Sorry 'bout that. Someone else woulda told you a bit more carefully. Maybe Perceptor? Buuuut... [A sheepish shrug. This goes back to that life thing they were talking about. Prepare to drastically lower your expectations.]

So what can you do about him? Or is it classified? [Like that would stop him from badgering you incessantly, Ironfist.]

Well-

Well what do you plan to do? Just sit here and die?

Honestly, uh. Just try not to think about it.

[It is, admittedly, not much of a plan.]

I'm not a sir. At all.

No, no. It's...I always knew it was going to happen.

So. Uh. [He looks really uncomfortable, but he has to know.] Skyfall?

I, um, Garrus 9 had these things called deterrence chips. [He doesn't want to go into more detail right now. Still kind of reeling about being dead.]

[Rung shakes his head.]

You have no reason to apologize, Ironfist. It's not like we were exactly on the best of terms the last we saw one another. And, from the reports I read and the things I know happened during and after your mission, I would disagree.

Sorry force of habit You prefer a different title? HowshouldIaddressyou?

Well that's stupid. You deserve a chance.

Well if you think of any don't hesitate to ask.

[He laughs, but it's a good-natured, sympathetic kind of sound.] Honestly I hear you on that one.

Hmm, no, I've never heard of Kimia. [He ponders.] I have a collection of datalogs, ah, Wreckers Declassified I believe? But it's not until the end I think... [He's chinstroking now, because those datalogs were not in the greatest condition, but there's something profound in his memory attracted to the name Ironfist...]

If you wish to make yourself useful, there are a number of potential outlets for your efforts. Individuals such as Jetfire have expressed an interest in studying the Lambda, there is a small garden being tended for the purposes of feeding the organic population, or there is a fledging police force. Alternatively, they could always use more hands in the medbay.

I just...I should have trusted you. I mean, you knew. Which is your job, really, and why they trust you with doing the screenings and everything and...

[And he's babbling. Because he doesn't want to think about, well, much of anything right now.]

Kinda weird to be here knowing I die and all I'm going to do is die again.

You look like you could use one.

[If you don't mind him saying. Unless you're supposed to look all frazzled like that?]

Declassified? [Oh. Oh dear. ] _{I wrote those}.

All I've ever worked on is weapons.

[And it had been good enough--or so he'd thought. But now, with Aequitas in his head, he felt heavy with guilt.]

I don't want to do that anymore.

I didn't...I didn't say it was very smart.

I'm done being smart. [All smart got him was a bunch of weapons banned by Room 113.]

Whatever you choose to do here, Ironfist, I am sure people will be happy to have you.

Just Ironfist. I, uh, I didn't get your name. [Which he says knowing you probably said it but he didn't catch it. ]

All right.

It...it's good to see you. [That probably sounds really dumb. Does it? He hopes not.]

Sure.

[A pause, like he's going to shut off the feed.]

Perceptor? How did you do it?
