"frag: a gentlemanly wager"
 
  
        "An energy generation system of that magnitude, compact enough
and -safe- enough to power a hardsuit? That's... " Sylia shook her
head, though she looked intrigued. "Science fiction, Mr. Stark."
Stark's little smile became a touch sly. "Would you care to put
something on it, Dr. Stingray?"
Sylia favored him with a little smile of her own. "What did you
have in mind? Nothing so vulgar as -money-, I hope."
"Not at all. How about... " He thought for a moment, then
nodded with satisfaction. "Just the thing. It so happens that I'm in
need of a trustworthy software engineer. You give me a month to
construct and demonstrate a clean, safe energy source small and powerful
enough to supply a hardsuit. If I succeed, you let me have yours."
"And if you fail?"
Stark considered this for a moment. "I won't," he said, then
added breezily, "But if I do, you can have Zoner. If you don't want to
keep him for yourself, well, big strong lad like that, with medical and
security training, he's worth quite a lot on the open market."
Zoner snorted; Mackie stared, not quite sure whether to take the
matter seriously.
Sylia merely smiled. "Done," she said. "It seems to me you've
made a fool's wager, Mr. Stark."
Stark shook her hand and grinned. "We shall see, Dr. Stingray.
We shall see."

   Why do I see Stark showing up about a month later with a little device about the size of a hockey puck that glows blue, and has a wiring harness attached to the backside?

   <grin> have I mentioned how much I'm enjoying BGC:TIA?

Got the SO to listen to the podcasts and for once did not receive the "oh god, not more fanfiction" response. SO has not read TIA, barely watched Iron Man and BGC, and has not read any Eyrie materials. Nonetheless, asked "where's the next installment?" when we got to the end of TIA-2.

happy,
t.

Sorry, Ben, but I have to add my own line after this:

"Science fiction is what I do."

Hee. I may have to use that as a callback to Sylia's original pronouncement when the time comes for an unveiling. :)

<STANE>Gryphon! Did it! In a CAVE! With a box of SCRAPS!</STANE>

(And to my dismay, I can't decide whether to end this with "And while we're at it! This! Is! SPARTA!" or "Damn, and I thought it was Miss Scarlett in the Armory with the Jericho"...)
