[The first sound is of someone clearing his throat -- and it comes from every smartphone on the island as they all switch on.]

Mass broadcast function, okay, here goes. Good phone design, by the way, very intuitive. Especially the overrides.

[The volume scales up for a moment, until it echoes off building faces.]

If I could have everybody's attention for just a minute -

[Volume back to normal.]

Why is there a big building in the middle of town with my name on it? Usually I sign papers for those. Maybe draw up plans... the point is, I should have heard about it, and I didn't. Where am I now, Hong Kong? This looks like Lantau Island. Lantau Island? Everybody from Lantau Island, hands in the air.

Okay, now put your hands down and let me know where I am. I can't see you, I'm broadcasting.

It's a tough act to live up to. Mightiest beard in the nine realms.

[hammerhappy]

Among many other mighty things.

[sincenewyork]

More than I needed to know.

[hammerhappy]

It was not a compliment.

Why is it that you do not know of cyborgs? Are you unfamiliar with Doctor Hank Pym?

MAKING WILD HEADCANON ASSUMPTIONS ON MCU ANTMAN

[sincenewyork]

You know Doctor Henry Pym? Actually I don't know why I'm surprised, after Selvig and Foster. Yeah, we've done a few conferences together. Well, I've hosted and/or crashed them; he's presented to a lot of mostly empty rooms and not gotten anywhere.

[hammerhappy]

I see. Then you are just as young.

[sincenewyork]

I'm not following.

[hammerhappy]

In my world, we have been comrades for many years, Stark. But here, you barely know one of our good friends.

Do you know of alternate timelines or continuities, Stark? If not, then I fear I may not be the best to explain it to you.

[sincenewyork]

So that's why the chin?

Starting to catch up.

[hammerhappy]

Aye, I am not surprised that you would.

Do you know of the Loki that is here? That was here before you.

[sincenewyork]

You mean Sulky?

We've met.

[hammerhappy]

He makes no effort to hide his emotions.

[sincenewyork]

Or, he's trying to play us.

[hammerhappy]

Aye, for you, maybe, but family is a sensitive matter.

[sincenewyork]

Sensitive. Well, as long as aliens aren't attacking, my second priority is always going to be sparing everyone's feelings. Won't mention it again.

[hammerhappy]

Sensitive for him.

[sincenewyork]

His feelings especially.

[hammerhappy]

Do not worry about mine.
