Well, obviously. Experts tend to be annoyed when amateurs intrude on their field, especially in military matters. But that was a given and not part of my point whatsoever. I was clarifying Tony's actions and motives. SHIELD's response is an entirely separate issue and has no bearing in the least on my prior post. I'm not sure why you thought that a reasonable, or even necessary, rebuttal.

Dropping a line from jolly old England - I've been enjoying my week off, though my feet are killing me from walking all across London. I'll be back in the flat lands by week's end.
Incidentally, if any of my stories just happen to feature London in the near future, I remind you that correlation does not equal causation, and that you should get off my back, oy! I hope to have an update ready within a day or two of returning, I'm not sure if our angel serapheus has updated the votecount yet so I can plan for that. Regarding the discussion going on : thumbs up, and some good points were made re: radiation and Hydra. Good show, chaps! Cheerio!

Of course he will fail, and then we will take whatever he made and make it functional, you have to admit that Reed is good at making advanced (if horribly impractical) hyper tech, Tony on the other hand Excels at making things practical,serapheus said:
It is the scientist and the engineer, the scientist discovers things, but knowledge is useless on it's own, the engineer take what the scientist discovers and gives it purpose.
By himself Richards is doomed to be useless, but that doesn't mean that we cannot use him.
We just have to get him to sign a contract that lets us use any tech he creates, not an easy feat by any definition, but if we can prove that we changed we might be able to swing it, though in the end it might not be worth the effort.

Well obviously we wouldn't do it now, we would wait until we have tech points to spare, Richards might open up forms of research that tony would never even think of, and if we have enough tech then it shouldn't be to much of an issue to make it functional.serapheus said:

He discover the icing problem with the Mark II on October 20th, if we assume the timelines have not diverged to much, then we can assume that we got the option to go for a test flight then. we are still on the same day,

I'm now officially amused by the image of Reed, rather than working on the fancy Baxter Building, just getting like one floor of Tony's skyscraper. Or one big lab on the moonbase or something. The Baxter Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Stark Industries.
What would Mr. Fantastic think, with Tony as his boss? He wouldn't have to call him Sir or act formal or anything because Tony's not really into that, but I'm sure it'd still make for an amusing relationship.
