Kratus was in a hallway walking towards a lab as he saw Tony and Bruce, who Bruce was scanning the scepter and Tony using a suitcase with a pad.
Kratus: How are the readings?
Bruce: Sky high, the level of gamma that this holds is extremely consistent with Selvig's reports in the Tesserract. But it's gonna take weeks to process.
Kratus: We don't have weeks, Doctor. It's there a way to accelerate the process?
Tony: Yep. If we bypass their mainframe and direct a reroute to the Homer cluster, we can clock this around six hundred teraflops.
Kratus: That would shorten the process to hours.
Bruce: *chuckles* All I packed was a tooth brush.
Tony: *smiles and walks towards him* You know, you should come by STARK TOWER sometime. Top ten floors, all R&D. You'd love it, it's candy land.
Bruce: Thanks, but the last time I was in New York I kind of broke...Harlem.
Kratus: And? I broke Babylon, I was in Tenochtitlan, Spain, England... don't feel that bad.
Bruce: That's... not helpful.
Tony: Well, I promise a stress free environment. No tension. No surprises.
Tony shocks Bruce with a mini electric prod.
Bruce: Ow!
Steve: *voice* Hey.
Tony: *looks at Bruce* Nothing.
Steve: *walking in* Are you nuts?
Tony: You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed?
Steve: Is everything a joke to you?
Tony: Funny things are.
Steve: Threatening the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny. No offense, Doctor.
Bruce: No, it's alright. I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy things.
Tony: You're tiptoeing, big man. You need to strut.
Steve: And you need to focus on the problem, Mr. Stark.
Tony: *grabs a bag of blueberries* You think I'm not? Why did Fury call us and why now? Why not before? If he could contact Kratus, why didn't he do it earlier? What isn't he telling us? I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables.
Steve: You think Fury's hiding something?
Tony: You think Fury's hiding something?
Tony: *walks to Steve* He's a spy. Captain, he's the spy. His secrets have secrets. *points at Banner* It's bugging him too, isn't it?
Bruce: Uh...I just wanna finish my work here and...
Steve: Doctor?
Bruce: *takes a second* 'A warm light for all mankind, Loki's jab at Fury about the cube.
Steve: I heard it.
Bruce: Well, I think that was meant for you. *points at Tony and from Tony's blueberries* Even if Barton didn't Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news.
Steve: Stark Tower? That big ugly *Tony gives him a look* ...building in New York?
Bruce: It's powered by arc reactors, self-sustaining energy source. That building will run itself for what, a year?
Tony: That's just the prototype. I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now.
Bruce: So, why didn't SHIELD bring him in on the Tesseract project? I mean, what are they doing in the energy business in the first place?
