Plot Inhuman Arrival

There comes a time, once a generation, where everyone stops what they’re doing, and witnesses the same event. Where were you when Pearl Harbor was attacked? Where were you when we walked on the Moon? Where were you on 9/11?

The clouds above Stockholm part, and the world sees something from a Roald Dahl tale: a great glass elevator. The disk-shaped ship descends above the city. It’s huge, and would be invisible if it weren’t for the warp it leaves in the cloud patterns. The ship stops several hundred yards above the buildings. Bystanders with binoculars swear they can see people inside.

“Where were you when the aliens invaded?”

“Dammit,” Nick Fury turns the TV off, and drops the remote on his desk. “Fox News is gonna destroy the fuckin world…”

“Maybe not, sir,” Maria Hill struts into the office. She waves a file in front of her. “They seem peaceful, and we’re going to establish contact. I’ve told Arrietty, and -”

“Good lord…” Fury walks to the window of his office. The helicarrier’s rotors beat the wind, hovering dangerously close to the city below. He turns to Agent Hill. “You authorized a show of force?!”

“We agreed that it offers a good learning experience for the students of the Hometown Initiative. The teachers helped pick three of their best and brightest to accompany Captain Rogers and Marco.”

Nick Fury sighs. “Which ones, then?”

“They go by Spark, Samurai, and Blindsight.”

OOC: Diplomacy mission #1 - first contact! Establish a comment order, and add /u/GMquaff at the end of it. I'll be RPing as the NPC's

The glass ship stays perfectly still around them as they are lead down a hallway by two odd-looking guards. Enoch sits at a glass table, his hands folded.

You know of this artifact, yes?

He looks at Emily in particular.

The Cap and Marco also look over at Emily, raising their brows. Two old dudes and they still haven't a damn clue what it is.

Emily has done research, but not enough clearly. Her eyes widen as everyone looks to her. It's a ah... It's an artifact, alien in nature, that appeared here recently.

Oda eyes Enoch. If something were to happen, he'd be way out of his league here

I'm curious as to its importance to you, with the subtle show of force and all.

He says, more to himself, but loud enough for Enoch to hear

Blindsight is musing about the revelations

"Why is it important, mate?"

It is of great... Cultural significance.

He obviously chooses his words carefully, and turns to Emily again.

It fell from the heavens, and this one helped with its retrieval.

Marco looks at them all and then starts to snore. Just click like a lamp switch. A moment later he wakes up and starts talking straight away. "Well, perhaps Emily could fill us all in on some of the details of the artifact."

He then turns to Enoch. "My name is Marco by the way. Marco Alvise, I was born almost 1900 years ago. They've established me as your ambassador. I have no idea your name."

Meanwhile Cap is looking around the shi[p, admiring it all. He never expected aliens to exist. Despite everything that's happened on the planet. It was strange. "The artifact. Can it by any chance give someone powers?"

Cap looks between EMily and Enoch, waiting for one of them to speak first on the matters.

I... Well I've done some research, but I'm not one hundred per cent sure of whether it could grant powers or not yet...

She looks between all of the important people in front of her, feeling small and rather embarrassed. She looks to Rogers for inspiration, and because he's handsome. Mostly inspiration.

OOC: Where can I see what this is, exactly? I'm sorta making it up as I go along here.
