"And here is the virtual reality display. Your suite has over fifty thousand vids of all types, even ones from the 20th century," explains your guide, a translucent hologram that approximates the yellow-hued form of Tom Baker. "You know, I do have over four hundred appearances and personality profiles. Are you positive you want me to stay in this form, Miss Martha? I don't understand the appeal of it."

In the hour since you were escorted to this luxurious sweet to "freshen up" you have seen wonders that your guide treats as commonplace, and despite the fact that the year 2099 seems to have sensors that can detect your power, biometric scanners on streetside computers that can instantly tell you're not in the system, and at least one cyborg deputy-slash-HR-guy, they still seem to believe the lie that you are Martha, a mutant "downtowner" - someone living off the grid in the lawless realm below the skyscrapers - and not a student born more than a hundred years ago!

While your holographic manservant opens the mechanized wardrobe doors and shows you a choice selection of the year's best fashions, your attention is drawn to a beeping slot on the wall. "Your card has arrived, Miss Martha," the Doctor informs you, "although for security's sake most people have their credit ID implanted. Many places no longer have card readers, and even though your biometric signature is on file I would hate for you to find yourself inconvenienced."

Picking up the flat gold card emblazoned with your picture to inspect it, a video screen flashes with the message INCOMING CALL FROM HIKARU-SAMA - and you recognize the name as the man you met only an hour ago, the man who introduced himself as the head of Stark-Fujikawa!

"Shall I connect you to him, Miss Martha?" the Doctor asks you.


What's the plan, Aino?

>>14980748

Uh, sure!

I'm still confused as to why we're getting the red carpet treatment here.

Connect him, and also make a dip for information on the X-Men circa 1995 (focusing on auxillary and protege young teams) or Time Traveling Heroes or Villains in general who may still be out & about...perhaps the descendants of Dr. Richards. Have The Doctor cue this info up while we take our call.

grab a personal comp and load it with teck schematics from the last 104 years

>>14980782
because we have a potent power, I can only imagine the unsavory things that will be tasked of us...or maybe there is some lingering edict looking for our time lost ass left by Dr. Richards, the X-Men or otherwise that spread through the super hero community of yesteryear and remains in function with the current form of Stark's company today.

>>14980748
Take the call; we have to play the part of obedient employee for now.

"Ah, hello, Martha," Hikaru-Sama says, smiling broadly. "I trust you're finding your surroundings quite amiable?"

As the conversation turns to your power, the CEO tells you "While it is true that many simple-minded people regard the recent outbreak of mutants as a sign of dire things to come, I and those like me believe that all beings have a place in our society, human, mutant, or otherwise."

As he leans back in his chair and settles in comfortably he asks "Questions about the Heroic Age? I suppose as a mutant you'd naturally be curious about that time. Of course, we don't know much about it - so many records from that time are lost and incomplete. It's taken a long time to get where we are, considering how much was lost." As he says this, the Doctor fills the edges of the room with life-size holograms of Captain America and other costumed heroes battling strange and menacing beings, just out of Hikaru-Sama's view.

"And that, my dear Martha, is where you interest me," he says, leaning into the screen. "Among that which was lost was the secret of temporal manipulation."


What now?

Voice Only, and clothing montage of costumes of past Marvel Greats and weird cyberpunk outfits that would look perfect in Shadowrun.

Also, pop-up screens of any info on the Exiles, what happened to us, Sam, Princess Clarissa, Megan and Rick the Dick.

Also, check to see if there are any changes in the time stream from about the '60s and the first class of X-Men and us.

Oh yeah, and see if Back to the Future 4 came out, and what happened to the Doctor after his ninth reincarnation.

>>14980904
Thank him and ask what we can do to help. Worst comes to the worst, we simply wreck the place on our way out if their possession of time travel would be problematic.

In any event, we're not going anywhere unless we play along.

>>14980904
"It is not a secret, it's a gift. And sadly, it is something only I am capable of doing. In my timeline there were no machines that could duplicate my power. But then again I am not aware of technological advancements of today."

>>14980904
Ask him how he wishes us to help, on the Theoretical end, or on the Applied side of Temporal Mechanics, and that we feel confident that we can aid either endeavor.

Play the grateful downtowner for now; we need his resources to build ourselves a time machine before we can afford to betray him.

"Nothing like a test subject, I assure you, my dear. While our rivals at Alchemax may resort to such odious tactics, I promise that your powers will be used only at your choosing."

As you hold up a pair of mirrorshades to accompany the glittering purple top and look at yourself in the 3-D display, Hikaru-Sama taps a small control panel on the arm of his chair and says "I can tell that you are still settling in. We can talk more as soon as you wish. Whenever you are ready to leave I'll have someone escort you to our research laboratory."

Once the call ends and you begin pressing the Doctor for details, a startling picture emerges - one that your new employer only hinted at!

"I'm terribly sorry, Miss Martha, but I just don't have any information about those people in my records," he says, snaking his holographic scarf out behind him. "Most of what we know of the Heroic Age comes from still images, and second-hand information. All we *do* know is that sometime around the beginning of the twenty-first century marked the end of the age, and after that most of the so-called superheroes disappeared from records."

Despite having a catalog of knowledge concerning every bit of trivia one could hope for, the holographic Doctor has a maddeningly limited knowledge of the events surrounding your own time!

"If you don't see anything you approve of in there," he says as you toss the purple top onto the closet floor, "this suite is equipped with a personal UMF fabricator, and your gold card status easily allows you to afford anything it makes."


Anything else you'd like to do before you head out?

You mentioned "mutants" before...what did you mean by that? /coypuzzlementface/
- Why, individuals empowered with superhuman abilities such as yourself. Sometimes feared and shunned, regrettably. In the Heroic Age some humans gained access, if only temporary, to some of these powers through complex mechanisms. Our founder -Tony Stark- was one such person. If we were able to understand this Power of yours...
-Then you could retrofit your suits to better combat it, or perhaps even integrate it to your powersuits giving your company a tremendous boost against their competitors! Question is; what would happen to me as soon as my "unique exotic flavor" is replicated through means mechanical? Would I be like the carcass of a lemon, bereft of all it's juice?
-Lemon?
-Never mind that. What would you have me do? stay in this golden cage as your top researchers analyse my body and genetic code, in the hopes of mastering this Gift? I'd like a bit of more...freedom, and have a plan which may fits both our needs. (cont.)

- Your founder, Tony Stark, the Ironman(he could never cover his tracks well, even in our time!), did you know that he wasn't a mutant and his powers were granted by his mechanized powersuit? i'm not myself sure on the details, but it seems he integrated top military technology in a privately-owned project. I've been wondering, does Stark-Fuji still make some of these suits? I find the idea of a power suit, with a couple of energy repulsors, rocket boots, visual scanners, photosynthetic cells to slowly recharge, some small defensive systems, and optimized for travel inside Tychon fields - which seens you livefeed about me and my powers so your scientist have live data on this subject- to be a quite a promosing partnersip, don't you think? In return I'd like to keep this Powersuit and unlimited access to your data libraries, there's some...catching up that needs getting done. In the meantime, I could assist your private police in tackling down the worst threats, working as a freetime external "consultant". Are these terms acceptable?

>>14981179
Bad idea. We don't want to dictate terms to the boss. And all of this nonsense takes us away from the goal: time travel, development therof.

Also, speaking in paragraphs. If it's not SCIENCE related, why?

"Current events it is, then," the Doctor says, waving a hand and bringing up a 3-D display of a man dressed in a red cape and a winged helmet. "A pair of Thorites were arrested in the bombing of a Docs in a Box clinic this morning. A group of them has gathered outside the Public Eye building where they are being held." Just as he finishes saying that the video cuts away, as a Public Eye with a truncheon brings it down on one of the men dressed in costume.

"A prominent vidshow host has come out with a new theory that the resurgence of so-called "hero cults" is a reaction to the unreliability of high-quality synth-vids," he says, as the image changes. "I know you have shown an interest in a similar concept."

Waving him off, you inquire about a better arrangement of clothing - something he is only too happy to provide!

"Here are the pouches you requested - they attach to your UMF suit like this," he says, demonstrating on himself with a holographic bandolier of stiff utility pouches. "I've also ordered you a wrist computer like you asked for - that would be it now!" he says, as the delivery slot on the wall chimes pleasantly.

As you leave the suite, swathed in pouches and high-tech equipment, a tall, broad-shouldered man in a Stark-Fujikawa jacket and boots stands waiting in the hallway. "I'll take you up to the lab where the boss is," he says, smiling down at you. "Shock me, you're just a kid!" he says, getting a better look at you. "Must be someone pretty important to rate this treatment!"


Gonna go with him up to the lab?

>>14981215
Surely with enough inspection we can find any possible bugs.
And besides, I doubt that we aren't allready bugged to hell.

We keep our old one and use our SCIENCE skills to, uh, unbug it.

>>14981208

Your UMF suit is definitely outdated here. If people want to come to a decision on this, let's put it to a vote!

"Ah, Martha, you look wonderfully refreshed," Hikaru-Sama says, greeting you as the thick rounded doors to the laboratory slide open and you enter, clad in your blue and white UMF suit and its accompanying pouches. Your escort leaves you and disappears behind the closing doors as a pair of technicians in shiny reflective labcoats approach the CEO. "These are our techs, Julian and Turnbull. They'd like to get started with some simple calibrations."

"How do you do, miss," one of the techs says, greeting you in a friendly manner. "I understand you have a sort of control over the hypothetical tachyon field. Let's-"

"-Oh, my," he says a moment later, as the device in his hand registers an asynchronicity, the result of your first demonstration! "Perhaps we ought to move on to more complex matters."

Despite your young age and presence in a future some hundred-odd years ahead of your own time, it seems that your limited understanding of the timestream puts you roughly on par with these experts! Over the next few panels you introduce what you can remember from your extra-credit work and your meeting with Reed Richards, supplying just enough to keep them interested in you!

"A powered exoskeleton, you say?" Turnbull asks, as you describe a hypothetical method of manipulating the tachyon field around you to deliver a hypersonic blow. "It's possible - we could modify one of our light mining powersuits to simulate the same frequency that you create..."

Beside you, Turnbull operates a device suspended from the ceiling by a thin rod and a series of coiled cables, while the CEO continues.

"As a rising star in this company, your future is assured as long as you remain loyal to us. If everything you say comes true, then you will be at the vanguard of our temporal agents, and everything you wish will be given to you, least of all black-card status!"

"OK, we're ready to test it out," Julian says, as the chestplate of the armored suit closes over your torso. "Let's give this baby a whirl!"

You remember when you first came to the United States you saw Iron Man on television, and while the powered armor you wear doesn't look exactly like his, the resemblance is uncanny enough to make you smile. Instead of his red-and-gold design, yours is mostly grey, but with enough symmetrical patches of blue and white to match your new UMF suit underneath. Despite its strength and weight the armor is surprisingly light, thanks to the powered servos, and thanks to its ability to vary its fitting it quickly draws itself up snugly around you!

"The suit has a strength of roughly one hundred times normal human strength, good for lifting heavy rocks after collapses as well as general toil, but the controls are delicate enough to pick up eggs without cracking them," the tech explains.

As you walk around the room, several inches taller but thanks to its amazing internal controls no more awkwardly than you would be in a set of street clothes, Julian taps the clipboard-like computer slate in his hands with a stylus and says "Tachyon field seems to be perfectly in sync with your own. Everything is working very well so far."

"Now, this is a simple steel block," Turnbull says, lowering a thick metal slab into the lab to rest on a reinforced table. "Let's see what you can do with it. Stand back, please," he says to Hikaru-Sama, putting a pair of safety goggles over his eyes.

With a deep breath you raise one servo-driven fist and clench the blue-and-white metallic fingers together, drawing it up in front of your face and sighting beyond it to the metal block. As your consciousness expands to an awareness of the timestream around you, the armored fist plunges forward, drawn out of the bubble of realtime surrounding you just as you press the tachyon field inward, driving it forward at nearly impossible speeds!

"Holy Thor, those walls are supposed to be unbr-"

"Unbreakable, yes," Hikaru-Sama finishes the tech's thought. "It would appear that this is not the case as far as our young protege is concerned. Tell me, dear Martha, why don't you take a break and relax? You've earned the rest of the night off."

Hey, these guys worship Thor.

Do some research. Superheroes may be hard to research but civilian identities may have left a paper trail. Research Xaviers School for gifted Youngsters. Also, toy with the theoretics of using my powers to rub tachyons together within my field to cause a time equivalent to static build up and see if I can frtiz a small rift and close it again.

All this after a lovely full page spread of our inner turmoil about staying and helping, or leaving to find our friends. Then, warp out with the Rockhopper's upgraded temporal systems to get back home.

If we -can't- warp back home, just say no and tinker and practice and lament missing Sam and Megan and Clarissa.

We are not going to stereotypically sob around and be depressed. Aino is a woman of SCIENCE!, other than that she has strong character. Being flung around timestreams shouldn't get her down, in fact she should make the best out of this situation.
And if you are worrying about the tech we are sharing ... well, she has scientifically progressed mind enough to be morally ambiguous ... at least a little

>>14982138
Hey. Hey guys. Really. Guys. Listen. What if. Guys. What if we make portals. Right? And then. Really. Listen. And then we manipulate time through them?

rolled 81 = 81

Aino is stubborn to a fault. More likely, she'd throw herself into the work until too physically exhausted to continue.

As for morals, well...we could break it on the way out if needed...

rolled 84 = 84

>>14982164
She is not a woman, she's a teenager! Save the no-nonsense Tactical Genious for the future...er....alternate DyasofMutantsPast Dr.Tychon. Alternatively, have the Dr.Tychon persona develop as a way to detach herself from this grimdark reality, ala Tony stark and Iron man or Bruce Wayne and Batman.

>>14982164

She's not no nonsense, she just can't accept that there are things she can't do. This is the same Aino who pushed herself to collapse...twice over training and jumped into a portal because it seemed like the best idea at the time.

weapon tech is nice and all, but we need to work on the theoreticals more. Start trying to integrate a Tachyon Harmonizer, like the one 1965 Reed used on us into the armor.

And try to slim down the armor, make it less conspicuous. A UMF covering to make it look like a jacket or long coat?

>a bunch of posts

"Hmm, a hard-worker. I am glad you came to us, Martha," Hikaru-Sama says as you take over one of the large holographic writing boards - still clad in the armored mining suit - and begin prompting it to display what their computer banks have recorded about temporal physics. "I understand your reservations about this being used for 'time-traveling'," he continues, emphasizing the phrase, "and I share your concern."

"I have an important meeting in the morning, so I must depart, but I leave you to your own devices. Anything you wish will be provided for you, within reason, of course," Hikaru-Sama says, taking his leave. "Goodnight, Martha."

Between your wrist-mounted computer and the intuitive interface you are able to give the scientists some ideas, but no more... breakthroughs - at least for the time being.

" *Yawn* I'm beat!" Julian says, several hours later as they finish recording a full series of your tachyon field control. With the suit amplifying your own abilities you find you can hold back the timestream with less effort than it normally takes!

"Huh, Thor? Sure, I can tell you about him. He's the god of thunder. He was the strongest of the superheroes back in the Heroic Age, and when he returns it'll usher in the new golden age."

"You don't really believe any of that junk, do you?" Turnbull says, disengaging a heads-up display panel from in front of his face and turning to look at the two of you.

"Well, not the magic parts, but they really did exist!" Julian proclaims.

"Keep talking like that and your career's gonna end up the same place Thor did," Turnbull says dryly as he stands up and stretches. "Oh, shock, we've been here so late I missed the fight tonight!," he says, glancing at a screen. "I heard they got a mutroid from Hellrock to fight their house contender!"

"Yeah, Martha, time to call it a night," Julian agrees. "We can pick up here in the morning."

As the two of them shrug off their reflective labcoats and exit, you see your escort from hours earlier standing outside the door!

"Ready to go back home, miss?" he asks. "Oh, uh, I don't think you're allowed to leave the lab with that on," he says, noticing your power armor.

"Up for a night drive, huh? Well, they're paying me double for overtime, and orders are to give you anything you want. Sure, kid, let's go."

As the mining suit folds itself off of you and retracts into a nearly unrecognizable shape you step out of it and leave the empty lab behind.

Your tall, imposing escort strides down the hall with you, flashing his badge to the security guards at the three doorways you pass through, before waving it to a robotic attendant in the 30th-story motorpool. A moment later a mechanical valet emerges from the driver's seat of a hovering vehicle and your escort beckons you to climb in.

"Who, me? I'm just a regular guy," Karl says, settling back into his seat as he pilots the flying vehicle back toward the glowing towers of New York City. "Went to a regular school, fought in the Pollution Wars, worked for Green Globe for a while after that on account of my service."

"Hmm?" he asks, when you inquire about it. "Oh, probably a few years before your time, huh, kid? I'm not surprised you don't know anything about it - they never teach you kids anything useful in school nowadays. The Pollution Wars were fought between the old governments that used to control everything, and the corporations that wanted to stand up to them and stop them from ruining the planet. Back before New York was owned by Alchemax it was owned by one of those governments. Same with Transverse City, Las Vegas, pretty much everywhere else."

"Sorry, kid - er, Martha," he says, shaking his head. "If I took you outside of the city they'd take my card away, and I'd be on the next boat to Hellrock!"

As he swings the aircar around and the imposing Four Freedoms building looms into view, he says "If you need anything else, though, you just let me know, OK?"

What's the plan now?

"Sure thing," he agrees, taking you back to the lab where you left everything before. "I've got to stop by the commissary and get some nico-sim - you might still be wide-awake, but I'm about dead! I'll be back in a few minutes."

As Karl waves and leaves the room, the doors close behind him, leaving you alone with the glowing display boards, the imposing computer terminals, and the empty mining suit.

After a few minutes with no company, you realize that Karl is taking longer to return than he said he would...

With the ghost of an idea in your head, you climb into the modified mining suit and seal its form-fitting metallic plates over you, feeling its energy signature attuned to your own, and begin creating a small bubble of slowed time, using one of the detection instruments you saw Julian using before. Once it springs into existence you expand it to surround yourself, giving you a moment to try and examine the powered suit you wear. Despite a keen mind for some scientific pursuits, you quickly realize you're out of your league trying to do more than operate this impressive apparatus, and dejectedly let your field drop back to realtime and turn your attention to reconstructing the device you helped Reed Richards create - a device of which the construction was largely Richards' doing.

As you struggle through the unfamiliar steps that lie beyond your limited grasp of temporal physics, you realize just how long Karl has been gone, and your mind - worried by all the strange and terrifying things you've seen and times you've been since you woke up - begins to imagine menace beyond the door! Quickly, aided by the suit's amazing strength, you leap toward the door and jab the button to open it -

- And surprise Karl into almost dropping the tray of steaming soup bowls he's carrying!

"Oh, shock, you scared the life out of me!" he says as he re-balances the tray and pushes past you to set it down on an empty lab table. "Sorry I took so long, I bumped into a guy I used to be on the day shift with. Say, what's all this, anyway?" he asks, pointing between the mining suit and the glowing boards. "Are you from some genius creche or something?"

"It used to be pretty bad," Karl says, spooning up the last of his soup as the two of you sit watching the readout on the screen. "Right before the Pollution Wars there was garbage and nuclear waste everywhere. Then the corporations took over, and got it all cleaned up. Now everything's starting to get clean again, and pollution is a thing of the past."

"Oh, I'm not a Thorite," he says, watching you as you get back to work. "Then again, some downtowners worship the whole lot of them. Captain Avenger, the Human Submarine, Spider-Guy, you name it. I think most of the stuff they say about those people was just rumors, anyway. The people in that time were probably too primitive to know any better."

As the two of you talk, you notice one screen seemingly switch off - but as you turn your attention to it you notice that it still reads something:

MASTERMOLD SEQUENCE RESTORED

"Are you done with your sou-" Karl begins, before your suit moves forward, oblivious to your command, and strikes him in the back of the head, knocking him to the floor in an unmoving heap!

As the suit pivots around, dragging you helplessly within its unyielding grip, a distorted face wavers and flickers, patch by patch, into view on one of the screens. Held prisoner in the powerful mining suit, you can only stare at its looming coalescing shape!

At first it looks almost human, but then it resolves itself into the visage of something both more and much less than human - something you've seen and feared before!

Well, we need to reason with Master Mold and convince him we are the last, best hope for the past, present and future.

Aino has all the time in the world to escape unharmed. All the time in the world...

Aw shoot.

Short and to the point, just how we like 'em! Too bad our editor says we should only print the longest letters to fill more space for free!

Dear Professor!

I heard Spiderman 2099 is being quite famous lately. is he gonna show up to help our the fine young mutant?

Jaw-dropping edition as always. One question comes to mind: if Mastermold erases Aino, would that instamagically fix up every time stream or is he just dooming all multiverses to slow deterioration by eliminating the only player who could clean up the acts she has...will....have being done....in the future? Also, which new time tense did you guys develop to wrap around these time shenanigans? Finally, this arc just screams Dr. Strange, I wonder why he hasn't made an appearance yet?

Dear X

Will Aino have to fix the time rifts which plague the multidimension before going back home? Because this is how it seems to be.

You know what they say, reader! "Live fast, die young, leave a corpse 104 years in the future!"

Dear I seen all I have it's about damm time we got to good fight sence, looking forward to seeing our little kicking some sentinel ass!

We're rash, but not the sort to jump to violence. Especially now with a new friend's life at stake.

Let us not fall to despair my brothers!
WE CAN OVERCOME THIS THREAT!... But when?
When will the next issue be released?

An interesting inquiry! We've already seen Venture pop up, so who's to say we won't see more merry Marvel 2099 faces!

>>14983365
I think there are no moral problems with fighting a bunch of machines for saving the lives of all that we love and everything we hold dear.
Time to try out the gird attack on the next issue, eh?

>>14983387
First, talk and get the thing to let Karl go.

That might take some doing, but Aino has already shown herself to be a leader of mutants - perhaps she can inspire this computerized czar to send her on her merry way! Keep reading!

Do you honestly think that you can negotiate with those tin cans?

Pally's are LG,
SCIENCE! is Neutral Evil.
So what aligment is Aino?

>>14983442
I think we allready agreed that she is NG.
And in my opinion, SCIENCE is NC in it's most basic form. It's just that NE guys tend to utilize it more than others.

This time-travel stuff is a nightmare to keep plotted out! We had it all laid out on the floor, but then the janitor thought it was litter and vacuumed the whole thing up! Since then we've been relying on memory and the oracular visions of our copy editor to see us through! As for what this means for the Marvel Multiverse, not even we can tell you!

And how many doctors do you think we can afford to feature in this mag?

SOMEONE better do it, or there won't be a home to go back to!

By the way, Mags, how did you make that awesome image?
