Phobos has posed:
    SHIELD is an agency that is one of the most advanced and has some of the highest tech available. It has a strong myriad of electronic warfare suites active at all times of the day in the Triskelion leading to elaborate systems of surveillance and counter-surveillance. The armory is filled with advanced weapons and armor that makes them a very strong military force in the greater scheme of the planet.
    Yet sometimes, even with all of this advanced technology, people have to pick up boxes from one place and put them in another.
    Which is what the Level 1 Agents are up to today. When the shipment of Quaxiang Computer Chips came in, they first had to clear security and be placed in the secure isolation chamber to be scanned and in part dissected before any of them could be used. The automated forklifts were not even allowed to go near them. Which left the good old fashioned Mark One PBI Heavy Lifter. Also known as the lowest men on the totem pole.
    Which today, happened to be Alexander Aaron. Up on the rooftop in the landing area he was tasked with carrying several hundred sealed containers of computer chips from the deployment area over to the storage area for the techs to get to them.
    Though, to be fair, he didn't complain. Most of the other agents would be grousing the whole time. But Agent Aaron not so much.

Quake has posed:
Good grief. *How* had they done that to their systems?! It was so bad, even Skye was called in to make certain everything was a-ok. Even so, she had plans to visit for the whole week.

She had gotten off the quinjet, and was stretching her limbs when she caught sight of the closest mission that was unloading . "Poor things." Really, they were at the bottom of the totem pole of missions. She snerked just a little bit to see Alex working on the same job. "Hey Alex, working hard?" Yes she was teasing him.

Phobos has posed:
    Out there on the landing platform, Alexander did have a moment to catch sight of the Quinjet as it decelerated, its engines tilted down and firing as it set down nd disgorged its cargo. Which, for now, seemed to be one Agent of a technological tilt.
    "Agent Johnson." Alexander says with a small smile, taking that as a chance to pause and lean upon the stack of older computer chips. He's wearing the normal SHIELD agent Tactical Response Team uniform, sans helmet however.
    For an instant he fans himself then gives a nod, "Heard you headed out earlier today. Got everything taken care of?"

Quake has posed:
"Ha!" Skye actually laughs out loud at that. "No. Even worse, I've had to book the entire week figuring how they did that, and setting it right. At least they weren't so stupid as to fuck up the base line programs. Right now? It was all hers to fix.

"I've got a list to go through. Hopefully it won't be as bad as the schematics." Hopefully. "You? Oh, forgot to tell you, you were invited over to the 'Miscreants' place. Also known and Skye and Clint home. Simple rules, is the door isn't locked, come on in anytime. No ranks, including other people from other agencies. There? We are all friends. First names. It's a safe place to hang out, without the hoopla of everything else."

Phobos has posed:
    The youth smiles easily enough and gives a nod, accepting the terms given and the offer granted. He rests a hand on that stack of boxes and looks to the side and then back while he makes a quiet 'hrm' sound before he says "Thank you, that's kind of you."
    Then he lowers his head and looks up before he says. "I know you already know, about Nat and myself." He says that with a small smile, almost apologetic. "But I wanted to let you know that we did let some people know. So it's not... exactly a secret anymore. So you don't have to worry about it."
    There's a pause then he adds, "I mean if you did. Just figured it'd be polite to let you know."

Quake has posed:
Skye grins. "It wasn't my secret. By the way, you two, or at least Nat, had better tell Clint. But, no, I didn't think it was mine to expose."

She sobers then, and gets a very sober look on her face. "I have more in my brain than just my typical job. I have access to everyone's file, including the red files. Part of that is granted to me by Fury. He trusts me, and because of that, I have to be careful that I earn that respect."

Then she grins. "Now, come on over to my place, all bets are off."

Phobos has posed:
    "S'alright," Alexander says, then he hefts up one of the boxes into his arms, turning and starting to walk a bit along the way leading towards the door into the ready room, likely where she was going. But he carries that box now so at least people can't say he's slacking off and wasting time.
    "We went and had a small dinner so she could meet some of my friends, and I figured they'd tell people. Didn't want it to get back to you through a third party. Better I should mention."
    He walks that small distance to the double doors that lead down into the Triskelion proper. Then he pauses there to chat some more with Skye.

Quake has posed:
"Oh? These were SHIELDites, or?" Skye follows along, even picking up a box too, waiting for the elevator to arrive. "Back when I started to, well we didn't call it dating, until we figured out he'd move in. To both our surprise. We told May, though.. and she gave us the 'don't make me come after you' speech, which I've passed on to you."

Phobos has posed:
    His head bobs a bit as he shifts his grip on the box from one arm to the other, tucking he computer chips under that shoulder and making sure he doesn't drop it. "Yah, the Tactical Response Team people. Agent Kelso and them," The people from his training class.
    "It was... an interesting dinner." He offers but says no more beyond that. Then he smiles a little, "Next one should be easier, maybe we can all get together for that one."
    That said he starts to back up and walk toward the storage area, "You going back out soon?" To fix the place she had been working on.

Quake has posed:
"That might be nice." Skye couldn't say when the last time she went to a friend for dinner. In fact, it may have never. Sure, she had plenty of dinner at her own place, but other homes?

""Tomorrow. I'll likely be staying there for a whole week." At least she hoped it was a week! Maybe less if she was lucky. Probably longer though. Someone had fubared it up royally, and how. "Got to tell Clint. He won't be happy. He's just come back from a two week mission."

Phobos has posed:
    "Ok I'll pass word along!" The Olympian Shield Agent says as he finishes backing up and turns around, starting to half-trot back towards that storage area. He slips inside, sets the gear down, then turns back around to work on the stack of computer chips. One down, however many more to go...
