@Cyrania out here trying to boost the OOC posts

@Sep

Well if no one's talking, I may as well talk. :)

Well, the mini-Argus post ended up being not so mini. But it's posted!

SOMEWHERE IN THE AMERICAN COUNTRYSIDE
Somewhere, USA

An alert went out to the Colonel and Lead Doctor. Meet with me at once. With all swiftness then, they went back for the conference room, wrapping up with their subordinates beforehand. The facility itself had started to wind down from the initial bustle as linguists poured over records that computer programmers worked to download from the Martian computers gotten back up and running, engineers of all stripes went over the structure of the ship to glean any technological insights they could, and biologists ran tests over any DNA traces scoured from within. Outside, the military still did their patrols and searches, their radius going out wider and wider.

It wasn't long before the screen once more powered on and her visage showed itself, revealing a very unamused woman.

"Commander." The Colonel snapped to attention.

"At ease..." She then leaned back, crossing her arms. "In your searches, have you found out anything about what the Martians look like?"

"There hasn't been much..." The Lead Doctor stepped up. "However, we do know that they're basically humanoid, with some traces of at least some of them having green skin though some of the DNA testing also seems to show extremely white skin."

"Could they also possibly have red eyes that glow?"

He frowned. "Yes...?"

"And if you were to estimate where they are right now, where would you say they'd be?"

"Somewhere within a day's walk away..." The Colonel chimed in. "Why ask, Ma'am?"

Instead of replying, she instead brought up recent news footage from New York City of some Fire Troll attack. What her version of the footage focused on though was a flying green-skinned figure with glowing red eyes.

Both of them immediately stiffened. "That can't be..."

"How would he get from here to New York City within half a day?"

"I do not know, gentleman. Though perhaps the fact that he seems to be flying could be a clue..." Her voice drowned with her cold fury. "We're only fortunate that he seems to have disappeared before SHIELD arrived. Do you realize what it would have meant if SHIELD had found one of our Martians before us?!"

The Colonel swallowed. "It, wouldn't reflect well on us."

"That it certainly doesn't. Doctor, get your men focused on finding indicators for finding Martians, the more through the better. As of right now, we need to act like they're able to pass as humans. Find tests that are just about full proof. Given current tensions, we can't afford too many false positives. Especially make sure that you can't accidently mistake an average person for a Martian."

"Understood, Commander."

"And you, Colonel. Send three of your squadrons discretely and have them look within a day's journey for any suspicious characters or traces. Our New York Martian could be the only flier and so we need to account for that. The rest of your men set up for a perimeter to guard this place. If anyone comes to you, you will first quarantine them and check to make sure that they aren't Martians. If they're not, then deal with them as you should. If they are, then detain them as you can and prepare them for examinations. We need to find out all we can about them and what their purpose swiftly."

"Understood, Commander...And the New York Martian?"

"We have already sent out a division to New York...Along for other major cities around the country...Prepare your facilities for when we find them. If anything else goes wrong out there, then you two will pay the consequences. Eagle Point, out." Then the screen turned black.

Having read this having just gotten back from serving in both of my church services, I was confused but then remember Oregon lol. So different timezones.

@Lord Wraith

Yep, timezone differences can definitely be hard to wrap the mind around.

So who's popping a bottle for the two thousandth OOC post?

@Lord Wraith

We'll have to see when we get to the two thousandth OOC post.

Do a mini post!

@Lord Wraith

Alright!

I'll whip one up after church today.

I'm so looking forward to the SWORD/SHIELD vs Amanda Waller fight. I'll even bring popcorn.

@Cyrania

Speaking of this though, I realize now that I forgot to put an Argus response to Martian Manhunter on the news in my post...

Should I just edit it and add it to the end or make a new mini-post for that response?

Also @Sep, seems that Green Goblin will have to wrestle back his title from Martian Manhunter now until his actual title is revealed.

And @Lord Wraith, if you're still stuck on how to get Clark out of his programming, might I suggest combining matt's idea of being startled by people fearing him with the smell of Ma Kent baking his favorite apple pie? Scent is the sense most closely associated with memory and Clark is also supposed to have an incredible nose...So it would be a bit goofy but also quite in character for him.

Argus being meanies and keeping the knowledge of Martians to themselves.

@Sep

Somehow, I don't think Martians will stay a secret for long.
