You've reached Dr. Stephen Strange. Leave a message and my secretary will get back to you.

That's about the gist of it, yeah. Someone's found a way to do it, and that means we should be able to reverse engineer it if we can just figure out how.

Right.

[ He knows he probably could- if he had his powers back. Which he explicitly has told people he doesn't want to do. It's too dangerous. But maybe they'll need it at the end. ...he doesn't know. And he doesn't want to admit that, even if that's where his theorizing always brings him. ]

Okay, I've probably eaten up enough of your time tonight. I'm going to get to bed before Al calls and hounds me about it.

[ He looks back up at the tablet, his own expression oddly vulnerable as he smile shyly. ]

Thanks, Doctor. Really. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my time here traveling alone, and now- at least it's enough protection that we can risk it.

[That brings a smile to Stephen's face, too. It's so rare that he feels like he's doing any good here.]

I'm glad. Just let me know if anything changes that feels like it shouldn't.

[ It's really too bad he can't see the smile on Stephen's face thanks to the new static issue, but he can kind of hear it in his voice. ]

Will do.

I know it's hard to manage here, but- stay safe, huh?

[ And he disconnects. ]
