[The subspace-time thing earns Rodney a second of a side-glance, but Tony just shrugs at the rest of it with a small pleased smile. It's always nice when someone's impressed by more than just the admittedly very shiny suit of battle armor.]

It's just a matter of getting the reaction right, and then it supports itself. I can get more power out of them by making it bigger, but it can end up getting unwieldy real fast.

[They don't have time to build a reactor it's own housing, even if Tony didn't suspect it would just start attracting all manner of creepy crawlies that he never had to worry about in California.

Besides, Tony has first hand experience with what happens when one of the big ones overloads. He's not exactly eager to do it again.]

I'm figuring if we can set the reactor up somewhere off the ground, we run less of a chance of something trying to nest in it or whatever.
