[Hank is huddled over his worktable, playing with a small camera.]

I've always been something of a tinker, even since I was a child. [He gives the lens a momentary smirk.] But you'll know this already, you've seen it.

Even with having some sort of block this past month, wondering if I was doing something wrong when all the pieces seemed like they were in place. I know that because I checked, double-checked, ran diagnostics, tried alternatives. Took the every prototype apart and rebuilt it numerous times, trying my best to isolate and work out any kinks.

And even then, we never detected a single Skrull until they revealed themselves. But see, there was still one thing I'd never gotten to tinkering with. Funnily enough, the first thing I noticed when I returned.

[He points to the camera.] I keep this remote camera for Network interface when I prefer to work hands-free. It shorted out while I was gone, and I hadn't had time to repair it. Doing so would require familiarizing myself with the circuitry of the new communicators, in order to copy it.

So, tell me. How many of you had your communicators in Times Square last night? [He holds up a small silicone tube to the camera, almost buried in his large fingers.] And who can tell me what this is?

Nope. Not really, that doesn't happen to students.

So sue me. You want to lock me up in detention and tell me what's wrong and what's right?
futureleader: (did you know that there are people)

Once upon a time I thought everything in the world was fine.

I was wrong.

You don't think I haven't been helping my fellow mutant brothers and sisters?

Making people aware of our rights and status as a minority group.
futureleader: (they packed me in a classroom)

No. Demonstrations and protests will get the message across. Also, showing them that Hell No We Won't Go, is another way for our kind to stand our grounds.

I mean, mutant registration? Might as well have a human registration too while we're at it! Oh. Wait. That already exists. For everyone
futureleader: (i'm mired in hypocrisy)

[personal profile] futureleader 2012-03-16 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You do realize I was using it as an example as to why we have to stand our grounds. Because, knowing you, you'd ask why I think we have to stand our grounds.

Yeah and? We have to fight against it.

Peaceful protests get you shot. Riots get the humans scared.

I think I'd prefer the option where I don't die.
futureleader: (hello lads i shall spy upon them)

Piss their pants?

Send more sentinels?

Piss their pants while sending out the sentinels?
futureleader: (Now take a walk off my knife)

...so what you're saying is that in order for them to stop, I've got to kill all the humans?
futureleader: (Now take a walk off my knife)

[personal profile] futureleader 2012-03-17 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Says you. You can't kill attitudes, I thought you of all the people would know that.
futureleader: (Now take a walk off my knife)

Then I'll educate them.

[Without pause, Quentin hangs up.]
