[Tony looks rather worse for the wear. In fact he looks a lot worse for the wear. His hair is standing on end, his clothes are rumpled and he has stubble along his jaw where he is usually incredibly close shaven at all times of the day.]

[Tony is sitting at a table in his personal lab lit only by computer screens. There are mechanical parts, computer parts and bits scattered all around him.
