As for Ward, he’s been trained to be paranoid. She had, after all, sent ahead a warning that she would be unaccustomed to Earth gravity, more than twice the strength of her home’s.Ĭoulson walks with her towards her designated quarters and he gives a genuine smile at her analyses of his various team members. “You might want to tell May not to take it easy on you,” he remarks. “She’s not big on punching out royalty, and especially not when taking into consideration a gravitic handicap. That seems as good a direction as and Simmons both echo sentiments that they’ve parsed virtually every line of the voluminous data package that was sent ahead of her arrival, even though that’s most likely an exaggeration, and they do seem a bit crestfallen at the notion that she needs to be away from them now – but at least understanding. A natural stair of stone leads down the wall of the canyon towards the lowest level. She turns her gaze to the edge of the platform the cave opens onto.

NASA helped transmit the coded message via satellite and within the hour, they received an answer. They needed to debrief the author personally. The calculations describing the Ninth Ray were startlingly similar to another alien power source they’d been dealing with. And any transmission including the words ‘Tesseract’ and ‘Chitauri’ were immediately red-flagged. Turned out Barsoom was another word for Mars, and the city state of Helium was located at the center of an anomalous energy reading NASA had reported years ago and with the frequencyīut that wasn’t SHIELD’s concern. The communique itself had been transmitted in Greek, Latin and English. The radio techs who picked up the transmission initially thought it was some bizarre comic book plot, but after the Battle of New York, the analysts wanted to take a closer look. Specifically, the city state of Helium and the theoretical physics of an unlimited power source called the Ninth Ray. Several gigabytes of data via radio transmission, all on a planet called Barsoom. Three days ago, SHIELD headquarters received a strange interplanetary communication. – LOCATION: MONUMENT VALLEY –//– DATE: 1 –//– MISSION: ASSET RETRIEVAL –/
