[Upon his arrival, Mysterio was in full costume, looking like Thor, Dr Strange and Iron Man rolled into one. Now he appears on the network in regular clothing - a brown sweater and tan trousers - looking elegantly casual.]

Hello again.

I have had some time to to explore and familiarize myself with this world and I'm impressed with the technology here - at least in Nova City. It's far beyond what I've seen before yet it's also lacking. That's why I am going to work for and with Aster Technologies and we can combine our knowledge to do great things.

Now, I know, I introduced myself as Mysterio when I first arrived and that is indeed a name I am known by but let's have a proper introduction now, shall we?

My name is Quentin Beck.

Should be found easily at each Guardian's office. Planning to cause trouble, Mr. Beck?

[Teasing. At least that is what Trunks is trying to do, with the smile.]

I'd have to check and see if the new guardians elected have changed or modified anything. I know Nova's haven't changed, and can easily send a copy to your phone.

[Which Trunks does indeed do, as there is an incoming file to Beck's device.]

[mysteryhero]

Quite the opposite, actually. Maybe I can be of use to the Guardians in the future.

Thank you for the assistance. You're very helpful.

[His response is a bit more neutral, or at least more serious.]

[light_of_willpower]

I generally try to be, for what it's worth. Thanks.

[And definitely a more normal smile.]

Aster's not a bad place to work though, from what I recall. Unless my Mother fit in well there because of her work-a-holic habits, in which case be careful.

[mysteryhero]

Of overworking?

[light_of_willpower]

Exactly.

[Even, and especially, after she'd started Capsule Corp in Nova, Bulma had still been a work-a-holic. Trunks had come to drag her out or make sure she ate sometimes after all. He tried not to follow the same patterns, but Mai still did the same for him on occasion.]

Anything else I can help with?

[mysteryhero]

It did say on the application that we could also complete work at home but at first I would like to access the facilities to learn any new tech and adapt my own. Then maybe I can get my own business up and running.

But first, there'll be hard work and long hours, no doubt.

[He makes it sound like he's looking forward to that, rather than it being a chore.]

Let's see... Is there anything else that you think I need to know about this place?

[light_of_willpower]

The question brings an outright chuckle out of Trunks and a wider smile.]

I remember asking that too, when I first arrived. I think the answer I got from Mr. Andor still works. Take time to try new things here. Don't feel you have to settle on the first job that comes along. You don't have to get complacent at all, but don't give up opportunities here to do things that you might not have been able to at home.

[mysteryhero]

Good advice, Trunks. I appreciate it.

[And there finally will be a smile back, looking more relaxed.]

[light_of_willpower]

I thought it was. I was glad to have met him, when I was still new here. Stop by Capsule Corp sometime or ask for me, and I'll show you what we do. See if you're familiar with it or not.

Somethings, obviously, I feel a need to keep secret. Business, and my mother would kill me otherwise. But I don't mind talking tech even if I'm not the inventor and genius she is.

[mysteryhero]

Of course. I understand perfectly.

I'm sorry I can't meet your mother in person.

[light_of_willpower]

She's definitely one of a kind.

[Lots of fondness, and sadness.]

My little sister looks just like her. I got my hair and eyes from her and my father's face. If you find anything at Aster that was done by Bulma Brief, that's my mother.

[mysteryhero]

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it.
