### ATTN: Monica Rappaccini Got a Bite

You asked me to flag any offers involving Stark Industries holdings on auction. There's a new startup based out of Nevada called MythSign who've made a rather large offer on several lots. We've done our due diligence. MythSign looks legit. I don't see any reason why we should refuse their offer.

Except for their interest in Lot ST-7981, which you had listed as a potential target of Mr. Stark. It contains the contents of his personal office acquired in the merger. MythSign asked if it could be sent separately from the other shipments.

We're waiting on your authorization now.

### ATTN: Monica Rappaccini Security Report Request

Here's the incident report you requested. It was one of many, so apologies for the tardiness - Mr. Stark was... prolific in his attempts to gain access to Stark Industries facilities in the past two years.

Tony Stark gained access to his former office by donning a pair of coveralls and staring at a blank clipboard. He went unnoticed until he attempted to remove an object from inside a locked cabinet, setting off his own alarm system.

He withdrew one item, which security retrieved as he was being ejected from the building. It was a bulky cellular phone. It's still currently part of Lot ST-7981, although listed as inoperative.

Please let us know if you need anything else.

### Excerpt from Old MIT Tech Student Paper

"In the last hours of the competition to unlock the target phone and win the prize, 15-year-old wunderkind Tony Stark's plan finally fell into place. While his fellow competitors were ultimately stymied by the biometric locks on the target phone's memory, Tony spent the first 20 hours of the competition building a new, blank phone from spare parts, much to the confusion of onlookers.

"But, with the clock ticking, young Stark's plan became clear; he was able to duplicate the contents of the target phone onto his new devide, bypassing the biometric locks entirely, and gaining access to all the data contained.

"Using the handmade phone, the solder still warm, Stark was able to access the final clues, complete the puzzle, and claim victory over his classmates. A thrilling end to a white-knuckle event, and another feather in the cap of MIT's latest boy genius, son of Star Industries CEO Howard Stark."

### Re: Got a Bite From: Monica Rappaccini

Good catch. It's Stark. MythSign? It's an anagram for "My Things." Not even a clever anagram. He's not trying to be sneaky because he thinks this is beneath me.

Let the deal go through, but send the wrong shipment in place of ST-7981. Apologize profusely, blame shipping, and then send the rest of the garbage he has no interest in. When he asks about the missing lot, tell him it's adorable to see him so sentimental, and Monica will make sure to keep it close by.

Then have legal file any and all lawsuits and complaints against MythSign, LLC. Take the lawyers off their chains, and let them smell blood.

### ATTN: Monica Rappaccini There's Been an Incident

Ma'am, I know you're waiting on the formal incident report, but I think you'd like to hear it from me first.

At 0318, on Tuesday morning, once we'd told Mr. Stark that you'd keep the phone, there was a failed attempt to breach the vault by a drone. At that point, we arranged to transfer the phone to your private archives.

It appears that was likely the intent of the attack all along. Once the phone was off of the shielded vault, it booted back up and made contact with an unknown network.

Once it did connect, it must have received a self-destruct signal, and rapidly entered thermal runaway. It was destroyed. Looks like he didn't really want the phone. He just didn't want you to have it.

### ATTN: Monica Rappaccini Update on Legalities

I'm afraid no good news. MythSign entered chapter seven bankruptcy and is being liquidated. There is no individual to pursue for damages. I think at best we may retrieve those few Stark Industry lots we already sent.

The MythSign bankruptcy press release has an encoded message at the end. We've had the crypto boys makes sense of it, presented without further commentary:

"Monica. Hope my gloating finds you in good health. Thrilled to see you never knew what you had. I hid something on that phone a long time ago, something I didn't even trust myself with. And now, it's out of your hands. I'm not short-sighted enough to call this a victory, but I do plan on taking a lap. See you next time.

Kisses, Tony."
