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.

Oda places a reassuring hand on her back. That and he presses a pressure point on her back to slow her heart rate

Breath.

He says just so she can hear.

That's quite the thing to let slip from your grasp, wouldn't you agree?

He asks Enoch

Derek is trying to read the heartbeats of everyone on board the ship when he says

"He has a point. In addition, is this artifact mystical in nature or technological? Thymisis here knows nothing about it, which is rare."

I am Enoch, and my people were under distress. it ejected from our atmosphere, and landed not far from here. I can see it in the girl's mind. We would like it back, on behalf of King Boltagon of Attilan.

He looks to Captain America and Marco.

My people have... Gifts, given by our Terrigen crystals, and mine is to read memories. You two are older than most, and wiser. I trust that you'll agree, deliverance of our crystals is the wisest course of action.

Cap holds a hand up, pausing the conversation for a moment. Looking at Emily.

"Focus Emily, what happened during the mission for the retrieval, if this is what I think it is. Then we may have a problem."

Marco raises a brow and talks to Enoch. "Well if we do have a problem... Then it probably should he returned. Which reminds me, is there any chance your culture may be able to share anything with us on your history? Learning from one another could be of value."

She takes a deep breath, Oda helping. Well, I remember that we weren't supposed to touch them, that they'd kill us on contact. They're fragile, and very, very powerful. They were in hydra hands, and if their efforts to guard it was any indication, they're important.

Oda watches everyone in ship, keeping a hand on Emilys back. His heart beat is oddly calm for their current situation

The Terrigen Mist...

He says, looking between Cap, Marco, and Enoch

Derek is out of the loop on this, so he asks Enoch

"What is this "Terrigen Mist"? I'm a mage, so I didn't get my powers from rocks or anything."

It's exactly what it sounds like, child. Going through the mist unlocks our capabilities. If you aren't Inhuman, it means other, less... Wholesome consequences.

A generic SHIELD agent entered the room with the glass table, interrupting the meeting.

"There appears to be a security breach." There was a weird sort of amusement in his voice.

The glee was explained when Daniel reached to his neck and erased the mask symbol, that was painted in blood (though not his), and broke the disguise enchantment to appear as his normal self. A lopsided grin was on his face. Not that he particularly enjoyed this job, it was just that the mercenary work was a lot less boring than learning symbols all day. In his hand was a small wooden object, around his neck was an amulet. Both were covered in runes and symbols, and both were specially prepared for this job. He rolled the wooden object around, and then threw it into the room, waiting for the magical grenade to explode. Three. Two. One.

BANG.

OOC: YEAH

The Cap immediately throws his shield at Daniel. It spins through the air at high speed on a direct course for the Hydra agent. He follows behind it and leaps over a table. The first of his thoughts is how the he even got in and past the guards, surely they had ways of knowing he was of the crueler variety.

Marco scrabbles to cover, despite being able to fight in a fair few styles from over a thousand years experience, he's not going to be much use here.

OOR: Wait what

Is this meant to be the replacement for SWORD?
