To say 'it came out of nowhere' would not be an understatement. With all of space to scan, this one seemed to walk between the raindrops as whatever it was approached the earth by the shadow of the moon. Not only did the moon's mass actually block it from all ground scanning devices such as the SETI program, but even in the second that it sling-shotted around the moon, it was almost perfectly hidden on it approach by being a streak of silver against the gray of the moon. Until it struck a perfect LEO of 120 miles and orbited the earth from west to east with a 10 degree pitch to its orbit on each hourly elliptical.

What was once barely seen hung in the sky for a whole day, traveling at 1000 miles an hour in the opposite direction to earth. Whatever it might have been intended as, to one group it was a call to arms. For now that it was well within scanning radius, there was a lifesign on this silver streak as it crash landed in the Antarctic, a poetic justice to return to home from whence it came.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Was currently running an operation in dealing with south America near Cape Horn regarding some heavy arms traffic when all the bells ans whistles went off. Being the closest helicarrier, their entire unit was called from the operation to investigate the Antarctic circle to secure anything of any asset before any other country got there first.

As the sun set in england, a silver steak flew past the sun, a time of two lights shining through an arch Stonehenge. From this arch came a portal and from this portal emerged a [url=http://pre04.deviantart.net/4499/th/pre/i/2012/004/0/0/kaulder___ice_elves_by_munkendronkey-d4la236.jpg]man[/url] barely dressed in ancient armor with ancient ways.

"To me, my x-men!"
Ten of the trained mutants stood before their magnetic mentor in parade rest. They were a strike force meant to protect and inform humanity from those who feared what they could not defend against or understand. Some passed for human, some could not, and in many ways it was the ones who could pass for human that were all the more frightening than the 'monsters'. 

Of the ten were two strike teams of five, blue team and gold team whose rosters tended to rotate depending on the circumstances or each mission. In this circumstance, there were two occurrences to attend to in close proximity. One was the going ons in Africa regarding strange weather phenomenon and the other was a massive spike from the odd comet streaking to earth. Cerebro detected a mental signatre, Ferro detected unknown metals.

'Spider-man, Wildfire, Iceman, Havok, Psyloce: You will travel to the Antarctic. Psychic to detect the mind of whoever is there, Havoc because of the cosmic radiation detected. Iceman to make full advantage of the frozen environment, Wildfire for the same, if opposite reason as well as an opportunity to hone or strengthen your powers in the most unfavorable of conditions. And spiderman for strength and technical knowledge if there is any manner of alien craft.

Psy-clops, Tidalwave, Juggernaut, Jubilation, Fantastic. You are to head to Africa, Psyclops leading with his psychic network, Tidalwave 's water manipulation should be able to handle any sudden shifts in the weather, Jubilation's energy control for any threats with juggernaut's strength and Fantastic as the mind on the field.
