I thought there might be a fair amount of interest in the latest news around this place. So I'm sharing, now that I have something to share.

Now that we have him.

[There is a definite edge of nervousness in his voice, his posture. Not over the broadcast, but rather, he's fretting, worried and a bit anxious for an outcome that is still unknown.]

Recently quite a few of us witnessed Captain Steve Rogers's final broadcast when his aircraft went down during his last mission. This was several decades in the past from where I am.

SHIELD has been working at locating the wreckage from the crash. And we've found it. We've found him. Frozen in ice in the arctic.

[A brief moment where he steps aside and the video shows what looks like a fairly sophisticated medical setup, a lot of movement of people, rushing, bustling around a table, figure on it barely visible in the commotion and even then, motionless. He's quick to shift the video's view though. This is classified guys. Shhh.]

It's probably too early to be hopeful or expect things to end well, but based on Captain Rogers's physiology, it's possible that after he thaws... he could still be alive. It's, realistically, a long shot.

But it's Steve. And if anyone can...

At the very least, we can bring him home. [For a hero's burial if nothing else.]

I'll try to keep everyone updated. I'll be keeping an eye on him. [He's going to go watch him sleep now, ok? Ok.]

A long shot is better than nothing.

[godofabs]

So he does yet live.

[nofondueforyou]

[ not sure whether to laugh or cry. It's only been about a month for Peggy and Howard's still off searching...and yet Steve apparently won't be found for 70 years. She's glad they've succeeded, of course, but hates that she's not there too.

At least she can witness it through this place ]

Oh, thank god.

[the_right_push]

[Fury smirks at Coulson from where he's overseeing everything. See? He told you they'd find him. But did anyone believe him? Noooooooo.]

[tenminutes]

Can we visit him?

[ Even if he's not... she still wants to see him again. ]

[piercethecharts]

Well-- of course it's possible! Don't even doubt it for a second. If anyone can do it, he can!

[video]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Agreed. Much better than nothing.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

That's yet to be determined. But there's the possibility. [Aaaah Coulson hopes Steve will make it so bad.]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[Poor Peggy. Little bit of spying and he's figured out who she is after their last conversation and done a bit of reading up.]

Agent Carter. I was hoping to talk to you. If things start looking hopeful, I imagine he'd want to to talk to you straight away.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[You are the all seeing one-eyed cyclops of awesome, sir.]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Once things have stabilized in one way or another, of course.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

If anyone can, Steve can, yes. [But oh man back to life after 70 years on ice. Tall order. Coulson has his fingers crossed very hard.]

[video]

[6collegecredits]

Really? You found him????

[video]

[hasbottombunk]

Frozen? How long exactly has it been for him?

[video]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

We found him. We've been looking for a while now.

[video]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

A very long time. Around 70 years. So we're not sure... well.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

But in our time. [Taking a second to wrap her head around that.]

He's been frozen all that time?

[video]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

In our time. [A solemn little nod.] It's been 70 years since his plane was lost in the arctic.

[video]

[hasbottombunk]

I'll wait to hear what happens, then. He's one of the few people I know who could make it through something like that, though.

I'm just glad someone found him, honestly.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

Geez. I can't believe it really took that long...

He is going to be seriously confused when he wakes up. [because there's no doubt in her mind about that.]

[video]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Yeah. Given his physical makeup, he's one of the few people I think could possibly come through something like that.

I am too. If nothing else, he deserves not to be lost and alone in the ice.

[video]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

Far too long.

[Oh Darcy. The optimism. Coulson wants to believe it too. Desperately.] It may be a bit of culture shock.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

Good thing I'm around, then. [btw, assume arcy e-mailed the completed application to Phil earlier today]

[video]

[hasbottombunk]

Just wish it hadn't have been that long.

You mentioned something called SHIELD. What is that?
