Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2


 * Nick Fury: All right, that should do it. Won't be any Latverian air support bothering us on our way to Castle Doom now. We'll take it on foot and bring Bravo team once we hit checkpoint three.


 * Nick Fury: Put a sock in it, webhead.
 * Spider-Man: Yeah, socks make it worse, actually--
 * Nick Fury: All right, ladies... let's move, now! So much for them, Castle's straight ahead, barring a few twists 'n' turns. Move out. Black Widow should've left an intel drop for us nearby. Use your navigation system to locate it.


 * Black Widow: (On Communicator) July 11, 0800 hours. We've determined there is a massive power source operating within the city. Potent, but unstable. If you can take it out, you may find your hike to checkpoint four a lot less troublesome.
 * Nick Fury: You heard the lady. Let's find that power source. Bravo Team, come in. Widow, this is Fury. Come back, Over. The electricity source is a... church? Sheesh, talk about the power of prayer. Let's check it out.
 * Electro: Unnh...
 * Nick Fury: Good, the power's out - should make the rest of our trip a little easier. Might even clear up our radio communications. Let's head out through that back door. Bravo team, come in. Come in. Bravo, do you copy?
 * Wolverine: Hmph. Nothin' new to me so far. How'd Fury get you to--
 * Iron Man: Same way he go you to. I expect. Everyone owes that warhorse favors, and he always calls them in, sooner or later. Could be much worse than this.


 * Captain America: I've known Nick Fury a very long time, Spider-Man. We wouldn't be doing this without a good reason.


 * Nick Fury: As you know, the link to a foreign power makes this, by definition, international terrorism. The evidence is right here, sir. We're under attack. Trust me... they've earned what's coming to 'em. They must be jamming our signal from somewhere. We're gonna have to keep goin' it solo for now. Let's move. Awright... after this elevator it's almost a straight shot right to von Bardas's front door. They know we're comin'. Could get a bit hairer from ere on out. Let's just say I got a message for their Prime minister. Somethin' ya just can't say over the phone. Let's quit the jibber-jabber and get his job done already. Time to move out, ladies. Goin' up... Head left. This wall leads to the castle gates. Knock out those turrets! Otherwise they'll just keep poundin' us. Nice work. Now shut off that energy grid master switch. More super-villain turrets, huh? Let's get' em! Wizard's shielded. Focus on Scorcher!


 * Nick Fury: Damn. These doors are actuated to Wizard's gauntlets, but he's out cold. Maybe we can power'em up manually with some repulsor fire... Lucia, we're home.
 * Captain America: Great, here we go again!
 * Wolverine: Nick Fury, where's that Bravo team, you've been tryin' to reach?
 * Nick Fury: Communication's still jammed. Someone's gonna have to go round them up -- and you just volunteered.


 * (3rd cutscene, where Latverian soldiers are coming to attack Fury and the heroes)
 * Captain America: Great, here we go again!
 * Wolverine: Hey Fury, where's that Bravo team you've been tryin' to reach?
 * Nick Fury: (groans) Communication's still jammed. Someone's gonna have to go round them up -- and you just volunteered.
 * Wolverine: What, and leave all the fun to you girls? Bite me, Fury.
 * Nick Fury: No time to argue, shorty! Take Webs with you, locate Bravo team, and find another way into that castle! (runs away)
 * Wolverine: (to Spider-Man) You heard the man, webhead! Let's move!
 * Spider-Man: Yeah, yeah. Sheesh, no respect... (web-swings away with Wolverine)
 * Nick Fury: We're stuck out here, Bravo! Take down those shield projectors so we can get in!
 * Iron Man: They're bringing out the heavy hitters. Be careful up there.
 * Captain America: Good work, Bravo. That'll get us in.
 * Nick Fury: Bravo, we've located voice communications working but long-range is still jammed. We need Black Widow on the radio. Head to the security control room and get those jammers offline.


 * Nick Fury: Bravo, I still can't contact Widow. Head outside and disable those jammers manually. Hurry it up, Bravo! Remove the plating and break those jammers!
 * Iron Man: Getting a fix on Widow's signal now. Take out the other jammers and we can lock it in.
 * Black Widow: ...calling Fury. Black Widow calling-
 * Nick Fury: We read you, Widow. We're positioned to move on the throne room. Can you support Bravo? They've got a job to do.
 * Black Widow: (On Communicator) Roger that. Bravo, take that elevator down. I'll monitor you remotely.


 * Black Widow: Fury will handle Bardas, Head to the reactor room, it's time to bring this castle down


 * Black Widow': We've identified three heavy capacitors below you. Destroying their locks will allow us to set up a cascade explosion. We don't have all night. Break those capacitor locks! Good, you've primed the capacitors. Now head down to the reactor.


 * Black Widow: You should be at the reactor. Disengage the auxiliary shield batteries first.


 * Black Widow: Good work. That should allow you to break the reactor shield and gain direct access to the core.


 * Nick Fury: All units! Evacuate the castle now! Structural integrity is falling, and we're all about to get a whole lot flatter.
 * Black Widow: That did it! Now, RUN!
 * Iron Man: Welcome back to Stark Tower, our base of operations. As soon as you're ready, head over to the briefing station for our next mission. If you like, take a break to chat with your teammates.


 * Iron Man: Things have been pretty quiet around here lately. I suppose we should have known it was too good to last.
 * Captain America: Ms. Marvel has been investigating an international gun-running in the City.


 * Iron Man: Carol can definitely take care of herself, but we'll need to follow up on this, just in case. Let's start by investigating those tunnels.


 * Iron Man: Energy readings indicate force shielding in that area. Find and destroy its power supply to get through.


 * Iron Man: You're very close to a major power source. Take it offline.


 * Shocker: How much more of this you think you can take, "hero"? Now don't keep tellin' me you came in here alone. Where are the others? Huh?!
 * Ms. Marvel: Right behind you.
 * Shocker: Oh, c'mon, you really think-
 * Ms. Marvel: You going to let me down, or what? You won't get much further without me. Thanks. As you can probably tell, this op is a lot bigger than we thought. We need to figure out what these Latverians are up to. Appreciate the thought, but you have no idea where you're going. There's an old factory above these tunnels. If we destroy the weapons they've stockpiled there, it's bound to slow down their operation. Shocker must be trying to slow us down. What;'s he keeping us away from? That should lead up to the factory. You go ahead... I'm going to finish exploring these tunnels to look for additional intel. If you need any help. I'll be ready. You can deal Shocker later. Trash the Lateverian weapons first.


 * Ms. Marvel: You're making progress. Keep it up.


 * Ms. Marvel: You're almost done. There's one more stockpile nearby.


 * Ms. Marvel: That'll put a wrench in the works. Now find those villains.


 * Ms. Marvel: Go after Diamondback and Shocker. We have to find out what they're planning. There must be some way to break that floor. Look around. I'm detecting activity beneath you. Can you work together to get down there? Good thinking. Destroying their tech might help disrupt their operation.


 * Lucias: If only Nick Fury were with you to witness this firsthand.


 * Ms. Marvel: These cannons are hitting the city! Wreck them!


 * Captain America: You hear what they're saying about the mission Latberia?
 * Iron Man: Given a choice between Fury and the government, who are you going to trust?


 * Iron Man: You got that right.


 * Iron Man: What a mess is turning out to be. When you're ready, we can plan our next move at the briefing station.


 * Iron Man: Our worst fears seem to be coming to pass. Congress is debating a new bill, the Superhuman Registration Act. It would require all heroes to register with the government, whatever they want to or not.
 * Captain America: Which would mean the politicians get to tell us who the bad guys are. We need to make sure this thing doesn't happen.
 * Iron Man: To that end, we're heading down to Washington. I've been offered a chance to testify before a Congressional Subcommittee.
 * Captain America: And I'm going to rally the people down there. We need to get a grassroots resistance movement going before the SRA can gain any momentum.
 * Iron Man: We want you to come along in case there's any trouble. We've got a Quinjet wanting to fly us down there. Let's go. We're coming up on D.C, team, but the situation has radically changed during our flight. And not for the better. The city came under attack by an unknown terrorist force. We're going to coordinate defense efforts with S.H.I.E.L.D. Buckle up and be ready for everything.
 * Lieutenant Farrell: This is S.H.I.E.L.D. Lieutenant Farrell. We've got some of the Senators prepped for evac, but the zone's too hit to lift off. Eliminate the enemy forces in the area so we can get those people out. Eliminate the terrorists! We need to get the Senators to safety! The zone's secure - we'll get the choppers out. You should proceed down the hill, head'em off before they can hit us again. Well, you sure took your sweet time getting down there. Now lemme guess... this whole thing another Latverian counterattack, like in New York? You "heroes" step in it again?


 * Lieutenant Farrell: Yeah, and starvin' man'll eat just about anything. Look, why don't you costumed clowns head over to the Mall, see if anyone else wants your help. Approaching landing zone, ETA- Incoming SAM! 2 o'clock! We're hit! Still got some lift -- trying to put her down. Hang on--! Farrell here. We made it -- unnnh! --- but we're under attack! Can you assist? Damn, what a mess. I shouldn't've jumped the gun like that. That rocket came from the southwest. We need to take out whoever fired it before we can bring anyone else in. Those must be the guys who shot down our chopper. Take them out, now!
 * (During the terrorist attack of Washington DC, a firefight is taking place between a terrorist and a SHIELD agent)
 * Terrorist: You like, American? Here, have some more...
 * (Deadpool teleports in and knocks him out)
 * Deadpool: You stupid, vaguely-foreign freaks! You ruined my vacation! (the text showing 'Deadpool' appears, introducing him to the game's plot, he teleports to the SHIELD agent that was under fire and knocks him out as well) And you! Dumb-as-nails S.H.I.E.L.D. clones! I saw what you did to those cherry blossoms back there! You think those things grows on trees?! (he then turns to look at the player and adresses them) and YOU!... You think it makes me less of a man if I came here for the cherry blossom festival? Huh? (Teleports away and still looks at the player) YOU'RE LAUGHING WITH YOUR EYES! I CAN SEE IT!!! Fine, time for a little BOSS BATTLE, SUCKERS!!! Ouch! I knew I should've sprung for the health meter enlargement I saw in that e-mail. You're probably trying to clear out these terrorists, huh? Can I join the party?


 * Deadpool: Ehh, they'll still be here next month.


 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: Finally! Some back-up!


 * Maria Hill: I'll take things from here. Titanium Man seems to behind all this. He just made off with some senators and took them underground. We'll cover the Capitol. You get down to the subway and pursue that tri-plated Russian and his pals. Sorry, I didn't have time to say "pretty please with sugar on top." Now will you get along?


 * Deadpool: C'mon, that way! The subway! Hey, when we see Titanium Man, let's try to get him to say "moose and squirrel"! If I were a super-sized Russian bad guy, I'd head for some American chow. This way - to the food court!
 * Subway Police: You think you're gonna get away with this on my watch? Awright, the cavalry! Now you're in for it. Thanks. That big guy dragged Senator Lieber and the others toward Union Station. Keep going this way.
 * Deadpool: Say what you want about Titanium Man. At least the trains are still running on time.
 * Titanium Man: Da. Americans. Your precious "representative" is safe... for now. Do you have the courage to save him?
 * Deadpool: Now he's gone too far. Nobody attacks American's food courts! Supervillains, huh? Always in the last place you took.


 * Deadpool: Ooh, can we stop for a cool, refreshing beverage? Cashing product placement checks works up a mean thirst. When in D.C. be sure to visit our scenic National Park... ing garage. He's trying to escape with our elected representatives! Get your own, buddy!


 * Titanium Man: Take your craven, corrupt leaders back! I have no use for them now. Follow me, heroes, if you dare!


 * Senator Lieber: Senator Lieber, from New York state. Good to meet you. You've done us a great service. You heroes are okay in my book. Maybe we should put this registration business on hold.

(A House Divided cut-scene)
 * Senator Lieber: Well, best of luck trying to catch that maniac. Like our state motto says "Excelisor!"
 * Deadpool: Don't I know you somewhere?
 * Senator Lieber: You don't look like the voting type.
 * Deadpool: Yeah, whatever. Hey, guys, I'll take these pencil-pushers back to the Capitol. Give me a call if you want to hang out again!
 * Titanium Man: Americans! Your deaths await you... here! You are once again a nation divided... only this time you will fall.
 * Wolverine: With a little help, if necessary.
 * Titanium Man: Your democratic levels will be your undoing once your own people turn against you! Do you really think it would be that easy? Dasvidania...
 * Maria Hill: (On Communicator) He's cloaking field is down! Get him!
 * Titanium Man: These mini-sentry will give you something to think about! The Registration Act will be passed by your cowardly leaders! And you will be criminals! Swarm them, my comrades! They cannot harm what they cannot see! When this done, no one will ever trust you "heroes" again! My suit -- malfunctioning? No! You... you think you've won. But you haven't. You'll soon see... you've already lost everything...
 * Tony Stark: ...and so to answer your question, Mr. Senator, in spite of these recent events... ...I don't believe forcing super heroes to register with the government is the answer. This law would split the hero community right down in the middle, with consequences I'm not sure any of us want to ponder. (Tony leaves and goes into the limo with Captain America)
 * Captain America: Was that really your best shot?
 * Tony Stark: Sneaking around doesn't become you, Steve.
 * Captain America: Maybe I'll need the practice. Maybe we all will.
 * Tony Stark: Don't be so melodramatic. This whole thing would affect you least at all. You've already deputized.
 * Captain America: You almost sound like you agree with them. The Registration Act would tear down everything you've done, destroy a century-old tradition of-
 * Tony Stark: I'm trying to save it, Steve. As much of it as I can, anyway. Don't you see where is headed? All it's going to take is one more slip-up, by anyone in a cape, we'll be lucky if registration is the worst they do. They could just turn us all into criminals, hunt us all down--
 * Captain America: No, they won't, Tony...
 * Tony Stark: Not in my country.
 * TV Annoucer: Now return to our special LIVE episode of THE NEW WARRIORS, coming to you straight from Stamford, Connecticut... ...where the Warriors have just spotted by their super-villain quarry. Looks like it's on!
 * Speedball: I've got Coldheart, you guys! Hey, somebody snag Nitro, he's rabbiting!
 * Narmorita: Don't worry, Speedball. I'm on him. (Nitro is running on the road trying to escape until Namorita rams him into a school bus and stops him) On your feet, Nitro. And don't bother trying any of your stupid exploding tricks.
 * Nitro: Oh, baby, don't you even know? (chuckles) You're playing with the big boys now... (Nitro unleashes his exploding trick and destroys Stamford, then a flying bus crashes into a camera forcing the show to go offline and Tony walks away with anger)
 * Reporter 1: Reports now coming in from Stamford. Connecticut indicate a massive explosion in a residential neighborhood...
 * Reporter 2: Just now 12 hours ago now, and preliminary casualties are said to be over 600. In Washington, rumblings on whether super hero reform should be brought to the table--
 * Reporter 3: Following last week's devastating explosion. Congress has rushed through passage of the Superhuman Registration Act. With the President expected to sign the Act into law...
 * (S.H.E.I.L.D. Helicarrier, above New York City)
 * Captain America: This is just completely insane, Hill. I won't do it.
 * Maria Hill: I'm sorry, was it not clear I was giving you an order?
 * Captain America: You're asking me to arrest people who risk their lives for this country every day.
 * Maria Hill: No, I'm ordering you to obey the will of the American people, Captain. Either you help us bring them or we'll bring you in.
 * Captain America: Weapons down, gentlemen or I--
 * Maria Hill: Tranq darts! NOW!!
 * Captain America: Keep us moving, son. If you want to stay conscious.
 * Maria Hill: You idiot. We were trying to save lives.
 * (back at Washington, the President looks at people that are in a mob)
 * The President: All of the people to go underground... Captain America? Now every super hero who disagrees with the Act suddenly has a leader. Maybe we should hold off until--
 * Iron Man: That won't be necessary, Mr. President. Registration can go forward as planned. We'll take care of Captain America.


 * Maria Hill: Either you help us to bring them in or we'll bring you in.


 * Reporter: And with the passage of the Superhuman Registration Act earlier this week, super heroes around the country are being forced to choose a side. Do they register with the government to uphold the law, or become part of an underground resistance movement? So far--
 * Patriot: Can you believe this is really goin' down? The Act kicks in at midnight, but word is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s gonna be here sooner than that, taking signatures... or prisoners. I wanna talk to Cage about it, but he's too busy arguing with Mr. Fantastic over there. Maybe you can break into their little pow-wow and get some sense out of'em.


 * Iron Fist: -sure you can get us to Cap without leading them right to him?
 * Luke Cage: Got it covered. You just stick with me.
 * Partriot: But what about the rest? How can we convince-
 * Luke Cage: They're gonna have to make their own choice. Stark, Richards and Songbird are obviously a lost cause. But maybe- Well, well... speak of the Devil. So, you folks made up your minds yet? From what I hear, they ain't gonna give you much more time to sit on the fence. Anyway, think it over. But like I said, you better hurry up.


 * Bishop: Hey. Have you come to a decision yet?


 * Bentley: --and so in a worst case scenario, we'd find ourselves in the equivalent of a super-powered Civil War.
 * D.Va: Heroes so busy fighting each other, the criminals get a free pass.
 * Bentley: Exactly. That's where you and the Thunderbolts would come in, Hana. We'd need you to help S.H.I.E.L.D. keep crime under control while we focus on- Oh, hello again. Hello, Coco. I'm glad to see you're not going off half-cooked like Zero, Sly and Bob over there seem to be. We need cooler hands to prevail at time like this.


 * Mr. Fantastic: Now, please... I'm surprised to see you're even considering joining those rebels. Stay with us. We... I need you.


 * Mr. Fantastic: Hello, Johnny. I'm glad to see you're not going off half-cooked like Luke, Danny and Eli over there seem to be. We need cooler hands to prevail at time like this.


 * Mr. Fantastic: There's morality, and there's practicality. I may have personal issues with the Act, but I also have hard evidence that if we rebel against it, the entire world's future will be imperiled. So there's really only one sane choice here.


 * Mr. Fantastic: Well then, as relatives, shouldn't we be on the same side?


 * Mr. Fantastic: I'm not in charge of that, of course, but that's what I'm hearing. Not a pleasant thought. I wish I could spend more time with you, but unfortunately there's a lot to do. Talk to you soon.


 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: All superhumans: Registration Act is in effect. You are now require to meet with Commander Hill and register your identity with S.H.I.E.L.D.


 * Maria Hill: I'm glad to see you're willing to meet with me on civil terms.


 * Maria Hill: So, what's it going to be, heroes?


 * (After choosing the Pro-registration)
 * Carmelita Montoya Fox: Congratulations on making the right choice, heroes. The only one you really had. I'll look forward to working with you. (Terry Bogard breaks in with anger and shuns the heroes for choosing the Pro-registration)
 * Terry Bogard: NO! How could you?! Zero told me I should've left with him and Sly, but I didn't believe you'd do this! You damn traitors!
 * Carmelita Montoya Fox : Well, looks like your first assignment just walked through the door! Either convince that idiot to register, or take him down! (walks away)
 * Yangus: Look, Terry. I was on the fence for a while too. But, trust me, you'll look terrible in prison orange--
 * Red: This ain't way ya fight this, kid. Settle down and--
 * Terry Bogard: (angrily) Shut up! There's nothing you can say to make me join you! (they start fighting) This is for Sora!
 * Mr. Fantastic: An unfortunate introduction to government service for you. I'm sorry it had to come to that. Cage and Iron Fist refused to sign and escaped. And they're apparently not alone. I'm just glad you made the correct decision. Let's head back into the main area. We're going to have our hands full, I expect, and I'm sure Tony will want to thank you personally once he gets back from Washington.
 * Iron Man: I don't need to tell you that you've made the right choice. You're here, and that means you understand the reality of the situation. You know what we're up against. We simply can't restore the public's faith in us while Captain America and his recruits are still playing by the old rules.
 * Mr. Fantastic: S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to expanded authority to keep super-villain activity in check. That leaves us wit responsibility for dealing with the rogue heroes.
 * Iron Man: We need to act decisively to end this fast. We have a few leads and may be close to identifying one or more locations being used as hideouts by the rebels. Come back here later. By then, we should have something more solid.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: Man, these new suits itch something' fierce.
 * Iron Man: I hate that it's come to this, but we have a job to do. We'll reconvene at the briefing station when you're ready. Hello, Reed.
 * Mr. Fantastic: Tony, I hope you don't blame this whole conflict on my psychohistory calculations.
 * Iron Man: Don't tell me there's a margin of error...! Your calculations showing where the country would end up if we didn't support the Registration Act were just a part of what went into my decision. Hello. What can I do for you?
 * Ice Man: You know what sounds like the worst idea ever? Picking a fight with Captain America and pals.
 * Iron Man: They've given us no choice. We've concerned the government enough as it is. If we all refused registration they'd take every one of us down. We'll do anything we can to avoid it. With any luck Cap will give up quickly, once we show him what he's up against. We'll do what we have to do to end this.
 * Bishop: Hi, Tony.
 * Iron Man: Hey, Bishop. Any promising leads on Anti-Reg force hideouts?
 * Bishop: Yeah, a few. You never know. For the time being, we're closely following some suspicious cargo into Jersey City. Maybe the fish will take the bait. Got it. Talk to you later. Hey, there.
 * Wolverine: So here we are, huh? Working with the government to hunt down people with special abilities. All we're missing are Sentinels.
 * Bishop: IF we don't police each other, the government will do it for us. Least this way we're on the inside. Course not. But we have to be willing to do whatever it'll take to avoid the kind of future I grew up in... where mutants are branded from birth and thrown into concentration camps. Yeah, I know... paved with good intentions and all that. It's a cute phrase, but you can't let it stop you from doing what you think is best.
 * Mr. Fantastic: Hello, Tony.
 * Iron Man: Reed, the government's still making noises about wanting a more secure containment facility for heroes who refuse to register.
 * Mr. Fantastic: Can't they handle that? We've got our hands full, wouldn't you say? Well, I appreciate that. And sleep is overacted, anyway. Are they still insisting they want something offshore, outside Geneva Convention influence? We'll have to keep a close watch on S.H.I.E.L.D., then. I'll build that into the design.
 * Maria Hill: What can I do for you, Stark?
 * Iron Man: I'm surprised to see you here. What do you want?
 * Maria Hill: I'm here to check on your progress in tracking down Captain America and his rebel friends. I don't know yet. And until you prove it. I'll be right behind you. I can see this is going to be a beautiful friendship. Yes? Can I help you?
 * Wolverine: People are responsible for their own actions. Cap's a big boy, and he made his choice. The wrong one. I might say the same to you. After Fury went into hiding, the government wanted someone with no personal connection to him to lead S.H.I.E.L.D. - a fresh start. My qualifications are none of your business. Let's just work together to finish the way quickly. I have work to do now. Good-bye.
 * Iron Man: Captain America's people are equipping themselves for a war. We need to cut off their supply lines before they can fortifly. We've been tracking some suspicious cargo entering the Jersey City shipywards... we believe it's headed for a hideout being set up by unregistered heroes.
 * Bishop: Our original hope was to catch Cap himself, but my money says Cable is behind this op. He must be establishing this facility to support Captain America wherever he's hiding. Expect strong resistance. Cap managed to turn a number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to his cause... apparently they call themselves the White Star. In his honor. And I'm sure he's sent some of unregistered heroes in for support.
 * Iron Man: Bishop will be running this show on the ground. If we can shut down this operation, we'll send a powerful message to Captain America and his followers.
 * White Star Gunner: Move it! We've gotta get this cargo inside.
 * White Star Guerrilla: S.H.I.E.L.D. could be here any minute. Look sharp.
 * Bishop: Ok, we're all here -- now listen up. Black Widow's going to scout ahead and locate the rebel hideout. Meanwhile, we'll provide a distraction by destroying this shipment before they can unload it. We'll do that we have to do. These are good people we're going up against, but they're breaking the law. Now let's get a move on before they realize we're here.
 * White Star Gunner: It's a raid! Get to your positions!
 * Bishop: Get on the freighter and destroy that cargo! Y'see those robot parts? The White Star is hijacking S.H.I.E.L.D.'s combat units to boost their numbers.
 * White Star Guerrilla: They're after the cargo! Stop those government lackeys!
 * Bishop: Keep it up. Just a couple more. Good. Let's keep moving and meet up with Widow. Heh. Sounds like Widow left a little surprise for 'em. She must be nearby. Push forward. Widow will be around here somewhere.
 * Black Widow: Ah, there you are. Just in time to create the diversion I need. Their base is somewhere nearby. If you distract the guards, I'll find a way to get you in. Watch for me... I'll get you that entry point. See you on the other side.
 * Bishop: Heads up! They've got grenades!
 * Spider-Woman: Everyone, get inside! I'll close off the base!
 * Black Widow: Pursue Spider-Woman! I'll make sure she doesn't lock you out.
 * White Star Guerrilla: They're trapped! Get 'em! You're good! Go, go, go!
 * Spider-Woman: I've sealed the base. The only way through that door is through us. We don't need to beat you. Just delay you, to buy our friends some time. We're not backing down. If you go down this road, you're going to have to take on all of us.
 * White Star Guerrilla: Spider-Woman needs back up! Get 'em off her!
 * Bishop: That should hold her. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents can take Spider-Woman in, but the base is still sealed.
 * Black Widow: Your entry point, as promised. This is an old HYDRA terrorist base. I recognize the layout. You can get around the blast door through here, but there will be another sealed door inside. You can try to break though if you want. But it'll take major firepower to destroy the inner barrier. I will bring Spider-Woman to the detention center. You head inside and find a way through that second blast door. Get inside! The rebels are fortifying their position while you waste time here.
 * Spider-Woman: I don't care what you do to me. I did the right thing. I expected more from you. They're turned you into superhuman thugs with badges. I've got nothing to say to you.
 * White Star Robot: It ends here, lackeys!
 * Bishop: There must be a switch somewhere for that door. Where'd that gunner go? That did it. Door should be open now. Stay together, keep 'em off-balance! We're getting close. Looks like there's a power station near here we can use to turn off that force field. You'll need to use those terminals to toggle the panels. Light up all four panels to reroute the power. Good work. Shield's coming down. Rockets from below! Watch out! Hold your ground! Don't let 'em swarm us! Destroy the power cells on the door frame. I think I know how we can get through. Break the power cells to the left and right on the door. Now the other side! Mmf... gonna feel that in the morning. All right, let's keep moving.
 * Black Widow: (On Communicator) Team, they're sending out a high-speed data stream. Get to the command center and shut it down. I've hacked some of their security. Break left! I've disabled the barrier there.
 * Cable: They're past to the blockade -- get those robots prepped, double-time!
 * Black Widow: There! I've opened a path to central command. Now if I could just link us into their comm channel...
 * Cable: Yes, Sanchez. I know your men are getting hit hard. But you've got to buy some more time!
 * Bishop: I knew Cable was running this show. Damn fool doesn't we can hear every word he says.
 * Cable: Hutchens, they're headed your way. Break out the big guns and slow'em down.
 * Bishop: Must be some way to open that door. Look for a switch. Those don't look like any factory options I've ever seen. This is as far as I go. I've got to keep the door open from here so you can't get through. Cable's uploading a lot of data. You have to reach him before he finishes transmitting that intel! Stay focused on our objective. Stop that upload, at any cost. Now get a move on! I'll be in touch via radio.
 * Cable: They just keep coming! Hold them off, I need more time to get this data sent to Cap!
 * Bishop: Huh? Cable's getting nervous. Push forward and shut him down!
 * Cable: What the--? One of the doors is jammed open! Damn HYDRA junk! I can't block them! Cycle the gas vents. Let's see if that chokes 'em up. They walked right into it -- now swarm 'em!
 * Bishop: Blocked? Hm, there should be a security switch in that area. Nice work, team. You should be able to access the rest of the base now. "Victor", they're headed your way. Don't let them get past you!
 * Hercules: Tny betrayal will be met with flame! Traitors! You shall not pass!
 * Bishop: Almost there, now! Be ready for anything!
 * Cable: Here they come! Get into position! Hold them back! Captain America needs his data! Captain, we're overrun here. I'm uploading everything I can. Now you thugs are gonna pay!
 * Bishop: Cable's shielded! Take out the wall turrets!
 * Cable: I was trying not to hurt you, buy you're giving me no choice.
 * Bishop: Quick! Get to Cable's computer console before the rest of the intel is transferred!
 * Captain America: (Hologram) Cable warned me we'd need to retreat this conflict like a war. You've certainly proved him right. Come on. You've invaded our space... you picked this fight. Maybe you think you're still heroes, but you aren't... not any more. And I won't forget what you did here today.
 * Iron Man: Your capture of Cable, Hercules and Spider-Woman a few weeks back seems to have put a serious crimp in Cap's plans. Thanks to all our hard work, more unregistered heroes and super-powered criminals are being rounded up every day. Of course, it's one thing to capture them, and quite another to make sure they stay that way.
 * Mr. Fantastic: As you may have heard our massive new holding facility in the Negative Zone is now up and running. Codenamed Prison 42. It's a clean, safe and totally secure detention center for unregistered superhumans. Access is possible only though a network of strictly-trans-dimensional portals, the first of which is situated deep in the Ryder's island prison.
 * Iron Man: We're still hoping this conflict can be resolved quickly, but in case that's not possible. Prison 42 will serve our cause well. We've built in multiple fallsafes to ensure that it's completely incapable. It should give unregistered heroes good reason to reconsider their position. So far so good, there's still plenty left to do. We'll meet at the briefing station when you want to get moving. Hello, Reed, what's up?
 * Mr. Fantastic: Tony, I believe we're ready our nanite villain field test, as long as you still feel strongly about pursing it.
 * Iron Man: Of course I do. Cap's getting more and more followers every day, while we're flat. We need to shore up our numbers. Now, sounds like you could use a break. Why don't you take Susan out to see a movie or something? I didn't mean that at all, Reed. But you've been working hard. Take a break when you get a chance, okay? If Reed's calculations are correct, there is virtually no chance of anyone breaking out of that place. Ever.
 * She Hulk: Hi, Tony, what's up?
 * Iron Man: Jennifer, I think your decision to defend Robbie Baldwin in court shows very poor judgement. We don't want to be associated with Speedball.
 * She Hulk: I realize sometimes it's hard for people who aren't lawyers to understand that we can separate our cases and our personal feelings. Then I guess that's why we have the court system.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: I'm thinkin' of transferring to CIA. Think I should?
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 2: No way, She-Hulk is definitely hotter. You're crazy...
 * Black Widow: Hello, Matt.
 * Daredevil: I may always have doubts about supporting registration, but seeing you here sure makes them a lot quieter.
 * Black Widow: Very flatting, my love. But I'm surprised to hear you'd have any doubts. The law is the law, right? I admit I'm usually tasked with operating outside the law. When you think about it, my job has traditionally been to help governments maintain stability. This isn't all that different. Ever the public's defender, e, Matt? I'll always love you for that. Hello, Tony. What can I do for you?
 * Iron Man: I wanted to know if you had undercovered any evidence of Fury helping the Ant-Reg forces.
 * Black Widow: There's no indication of that so far. But with Fury, that might not mean much. I understand. But dealing wit big unknowns goes hand-in-hand with running a war. The bottom line, however, is that if Fury decides to help Captain America and his White Star allies, I doubt there's much he could offer them apart from strategic advice. I can see your point, We'll keep an eye out of anything that has Fury's fingerprints on it.
 * Songbird: Yes?
 * Mr. Fantastic: Melissa, the rest of the Thunderbolts are almost finished with the...procedure.
 * Songbird: That's fine. I recommend you talk to Bullseye first... this will probably be hardest on him. Frankly I don't care what happens to most of the Thunderbolts. This isn't the team I used to lead. How kind of you to remind me. You "heroes" are always so warm and compassionate.
 * Iron Man: Despite our recent victories, the Anti-Registration movement continues to grow. S.H.I.E.L.D. is too busy dealing with opportunistic super-villains to help us. So we've decided to bolster our ranks with some allies you might find... surprising. These are dozens of super-powered criminals now being held in Prison 42. Collectively, they represent a fromation fighting force. Our goal is to harness that potential to help us win this war. Reed?
 * Mr. Fantastic: We recovered some highly advanced nanotech from the Latverian attack on New York, and have found a way to use it to control the behavior of higher mammals including humans. We've injected nanites into the bloodstreams of the incarcerated super-felons. The nanites -- tiny machines as small as red blood cell -- situate themselves in the host's system. This forms an electric network that we can wirelessly tap into, allowing us to remotely monitor and control these unpredictable but powerful new allies.
 * Iron Man: In addition to the behavior control system, there is also a fallsafe. Using it, we can remotely render the host unconscious at any time.
 * Mr. Fantastic: The system has passed all preliminary trails, but now it's time for a field test under real-world conditions.
 * Iron Man: That's where you come in. A number of unregistered heroes are about to be transferred to their new homes in Prison 42. You will protect their convoy. And, once we feel the time right, we'll deploy one of our nanite-controlled agent to assist you. If he gets out of line... we'll take care of it. Delivering these prisoners and providing out the nanite control system are two important steps to ending this war once and for all.
 * White Star Gunner: Here they come! Take positions!
 * Black Widow: Strike Team Delta, take out the the rooftop fire teams and destroy their munitions so the convoy can advance.
 * White Star Gunner: Heads up! S.H.I.E.L.D. sent in their goon squad!
 * Convoy: We gotta get convoy morning, Widow, are we clear to proceed?
 * Black Widow: Negative. Transport Alpha. Hostiles are still on the rooftops.
 * Venom: What are you starring at? You act like you nev-- hhggkk.
 * Officer Swanson: Whoops. Sorry about that, Mr. Stark. Guess I forgot to lock down Venom's vocals. Anyway, my "buddy" and I are here to help. Widow figured we could give you folks a hand. We do, sir. I'll have him follow your lead.
 * Black Widow: Sorry to interrupt, Tony, but we've got more White Star inbound across the street. We need you to deal with them. Delta, there are more munitions in that area. Destroy them.
 * Prodigy: Well, look who's here! The "real" heroes. You know, like I used to be? Until I refused to sign a piece of paper? I mean, look at you! Do you even see yourselves? You're standing there with Venom, and you're the good guys? You've lost it. I can't believe I used to respect you.
 * Black Widow: So much for the prodigal son. Now head toward the High Lane. There are a few more White Star troops making trouble for the convoy.
 * Officer Swanson: So far, so good. Just one more test -- this'll be fun. Stand back... we're going to check the failsafe system. Shutdown signal worked like a charm... he's in perfect stasis. Okay, I'm gonna bring him back online. Mr. Stark, Hank Pym is requesting that we bring Venom back to HQ. Everything's nominal, but he's detecting some unexpected signal traffic. Probably nothing.
 * Iron Man: So, what's going on? What did Harry see? What's happening with the nanite-controlled agents?
 * Officer Swanson: I'm sure he did, sir. It's just some side-signals we didn't expect to see. We'll be back once they give the all-clear. Admit it, you'll miss having this pretty face around.
 * Black Widow: Delta, we still need you on the High Line. Use that cane to-- look out! Rough landing there, huh? No matter, you ended up in the right place. We need you to clear the High Line of all enemy forces before the convoy can pass through the intersection. Hurry up and clear the High Line! We can't risk this delay much longer. Convoy, this is Widow. The High Line is clear. Move out. Blast it, how did White Star get through? Delta Team, hit the street! We'll take care of their chopper. Those heavy 'bots are hitting the transports! Destroy them! Damn. Patriot managed to escape containment. Tough little kid... Good. That's one for the junk heap. Air support will be delayed -- we're talking about rooftop fire! Keep it up, Delta. They must be running out of 'bots. One more 'bot in your vicinity, Delta.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: Incoming! Widow, as long as their bird airborne, they'll keep dropping in.
 * Black Widow: Roger that. I've almost got him in my sights... Direct hit on the gunship! He's going down -- uh oh -- he's going to hit that transport! Oh, for - heads up, Delta Team... looks like Multiple Man is on the loose. Take him down before he swarm us! Okay, looks clear from up here. See if you can get that empty transport out of our path.
 * Captain Qwark: What the Sam Hill you think you're doing, Soldier 76? Besides tearing my home turf! "Peacefully", huh? So much for that! Nothin' good can some of all this, Jack, and what's happening here just proves it. Smart choice. So where do -
 * Black Widow: Heads up, Delta!
 * Thing: That's it! These bums just bought themselves a Grade-A cobberin' from Yours Truly!
 * Black Widow: More Multiple Man duplicates! Transports are prepped, Delta. We're good to go once you clear the area.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: Roger that, just loading them in the new transport now.
 * Convoy: 10-4 Alternate route Charlie now cleared through 40th street. Good to go.
 * Captain Qwark: Sheesh. You were right about them White Star guys, Jack... seems like they'll stop at nothin'. All I know is, they sure ain't like heroes. So, I guess you can count on me, Soldier 76. I'm gonna stay here and make sure the clean-up goes nice an' smooth. Call me later if you need my help.
 * Black Widow: Okay, Delta Team, back up to the rooftops to continue your sweeps. We may not be out of the woods yet.
 * Thing: When did everything get so dad-blamed complicated?
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: What's the deal with the second transport?
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 2: Got me.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: Black Widow, are you in contact with Transport Beta? We got some unusual behavior here.
 * Black Widow: Negative, they're not responding to our signal. We've got a visual -- wait! We have prisoners escaping from Transport Beta! Repeat, prisoners escaping on foot! Looks like Cap himself broke them out. All units, close in! They're headed up to the rooftops! Delta Team, you're in position to cut them off! Move, move! Swanson, we need support! Can you deploy a nanite operative?
 * Officer Swanson: Dr. Pym just gave us all-clear, Widow. I'll try to get Molten Man into position.
 * Black Widow: They're crossing the sky bridge... heading right toward you. Cut them off!
 * Captain America: Did you honestly think we'd let you waltz right through midtown with our people locked up? Sorry, but you were wrong. In a very big way.
 * Black Widow: Don't let them get away--!
 * Goliath: Better worry about yourselves first.
 * Black Widow: What the -- Goliath?! You have to take him out! The other transports will never get past him. Attack quickly when you can. Stay clear of his hands! That building's not stable. Duck into that door! Swanson, what's that support?
 * Officer Swanson: Coming up, Widow. Need a light?
 * Goliath: Like shooting fish in a barrel. Ha! You guys like little action figures down there.
 * Black Widow: Wear him down before you try a heavy attack.
 * Officer Swanson: You know what they say: the bigger they are -
 * Black Widow: That's quite enough, Swanson. Well done, Delta Team. All transports, you're clear to proceed. We lost some prisoners, but Captain America lost Goliath. I'd say that's fair trade.
 * Iron Man: The nanite-controlled criminals we enlisted have made a huge difference in our struggle to both fight crime and deal with the unregistered heroes. We now have dozens of these agents in Prison 42, ready to support us at a moment's notice. The tide may be turning in our favor, but the longer this conflict drags on, the greater the chance of devastating repercussions. We intend to find a way to end this thing as quickly and clearly as possible. Giben what you've done for our side so far, we know you'll a big part of that solution. We're working on a plan to bring the Ant-Reg forces to us. Come to the briefing station when you're prepared to join in.
 * Ratchet: Hello, Tal. Something you wanted to talk about?
 * Talwyn Apogee: Ratchy, this system you invented to control those criminals... are you sure it's a good idea?
 * Ratchet: I know it's a bit... unsavory. But nothing is more important than ending this conflict quickly. Any interesting to put it. I'll keep it in mind...
 * Iron Man: Hello. Something you wanted to talk about? I wish Although we've had a string of successes, there are still plenty of renegade heroes out there, including Cap. And time on their side. Huh? Oh. I'm sorry. We don't have time for cheerleading. According to Reed's calculations, the longer this war drags on, the closer the world moves toward disaster.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: They expect us to fight these kinds of criminals, we need bigger guns.
 * Iron Man: The super-powered Civil War has gone on for too long. It's time to finish it. And with any luck, we can do it without firing a shot. We're going to lure the Anti-Reg forces to an underpopulated location by faking a major disaster. Once they arrive, we'll cut off any and avenues of escape. Then we'll be in a position to offer them one last chance to lay down their arms and register. If they refuse, we'll still have them trapped with nowhere to run. You'll help guard the perimeter. If thins get ugly, make sure Cap and his crew don't escape.
 * Captain America: How many trapped workers did the radio say?
 * Cable: Over three hundred -- but something's weird. I'm not getting anything with my info-net. No panic signals, nothing...
 * Luke Cage: What's wrong, Cable?
 * Cable: Cloak, get us out of here! It's a trap!
 * Iron Man: Of course It's a trap. How else were we going to get you all in one place? Skybird One, is the area fully cordoned?
 * Maria Hill: Roger, perimeter, sealed. No one's leaving the zone without our say-so.
 * Iron Man: Copy that. Stand by.
 * Captain America: "Stand by?" You and S.H.I.E.L.D. going soft, Tony?
 * Iron Man: We didn't come to arrest you, Cap. I talked S.H.I.E.L.D. into offering all of you a chance at amnesty.
 * Captain America: You mean surrender? Thanks, but I think I'd rather take my chances.
 * Iron Man: Cap, please... you know how hard I tried to fight this... but that was before Stamford. The public doesn't want secret identities anymore. Registration is the only way to make them feel safe when we're around. Just give me a chance to tell you our plans for my twenty-first century overhaul.
 * Captain America: You've got five minutes.
 * Iron Man: That's all I need. What the hell?
 * Maaria Hill: Delta Squad, we need you to apprehend some of Cap's people. We've got agents pursuing Multiple Man in the vicinity. Move forward and assist them. What the --?! We're seeing White Star troops all over the place! No idea how they got into the zone. Watch yourselves, people! You're approaching Multiple Man's position, Delta. Make sure we get ALL of him this time. That's one rebel down, more or less. We've sighted others moving your way. Push forward and cut them off. Rhodes, check your fire! Delta, break right. You'll have to open a path to proceed. Delta. Stark's people report those values are sealed. You'll have to tear them open to drain the tank.
 * Carl Clover: You like ambushes, huh? Then you're gonna love this!
 * Carmelita Montoya Fox: Good job handling those kids, Delta. You've got more unregistered combatants ahead. We'll send a nanite agent to support you.
 * Officer Swanson: Osborn's free and clear. Sending him and support Delta.
 * Maria Hill: War Machine, we might have a visual on Cap. Sending coordinates. Please investigate. Delta, we've spotted two more insurgents on top of a mixing tower near you. Head up there and deal with them.
 * Brigitte: Papa! They're here!
 * Torbjörn: So... we show up to help people in trouble -but you come to haul us to your Negative Zone Gulag. Fine. You've chosen your battlefield. But you won't be choosing the result.
 * Carmelita Montoya Fox: Excellent work, Delta. Now sit tight while I check in with Ralph and Vanellope. R & V, Delta Squad is ready to assist you in taking down, Sora.
 * Ralph: Roger that. were pursuing him now.
 * Maria Hill: (On Radio) Delta, get a move on, I want that star-sprangled-traitor's head on a plate!
 * War Machine: I'm offline! Cap got me with one those damn joy buzzers.
 * Iron Man: Power down and perform a clean reboot, Rhodey. I should be back online in a couple minutes.
 * Maria Hill: Looks like you're on point, Delta. Pursue Captain America!
 * Captain America: Think you've got us trapped? Think again! This is the part were you wish you hadn't caught me. Everything ready?
 * Luke Cage: All set, Cap. We've prepped your exit. Let's take this outside.
 * Iron Man: My suit is parasitically functional, Delta. I'm moving to your location. Keep him busy.
 * Luke Cage: Hey, catch!
 * Captain America: Cage, stay up there for now. Back me up, Iron Fist. This shouldn't take long.
 * Maria Hill: Iron Fist is the primary target! He can use his powers to heal Cap.
 * Captain America: Luke! Turn up the heat! Cage, get that door open now!
 * Luke Cage: You got it!
 * Iron Man: There we go. Can't keep a good suit of armor down. Don't, Steve. Just stay where you are. We'll get you and Cage some medical attention.
 * Captain America: How generous of you. You'll make a just and fair - what? S.H.I.E.L.D. Commander? President?
 * Iron Man: You must be kidding. You think that's what this is all about?
 * Captain America: Oh, wait, that's right. They don't elect drunks to the White House.
 * Iron Man: Don't go there.
 * Captain America: Maybe you'll able to settle for just being drunk with power. Huh, Tony?
 * Iron Man: Dammit! Skybird One, this is Stark. Cap got away again. I'm going after him.
 * Maria Hill: Roger. Delta Team backing you up?
 * Iron Man: Negative. I'm doing this alone.
 * Maria Hill: Okay, Delta. The nanite agents' control grid apparently just spiked off the scale for a second. They're telling me it's fine, but why don't you go make sure.
 * Nick Fury: You there! I need yer help! Something big's going down. Those villains Stark's been controlling have gone off the leash. They've set up a trap on the core tanks that could blow everyone here to kingdom come.
 * Wolverine: Fine, let's see it, Fury. Cap got to you, huh?
 * Nick Fury: I was trying to keep people safe. If you still care about that, follow me and see for yourself. C'mon, we need to head to the central facility of the plant. I'll stabilize the bombs and toss 'em to you, then you dispose of 'em. Oh, and keep those two bust, would ya?
 * Wolverine: Lead the way, Fury. But if you're screwin' us over again, there'll be hell to pay.
 * Nick Fury: Look, they're up to somethin'. We'll have to sort out the details later. Goblin's headed your way. I can get at the bombs now. Use that vent to get rid of the bombs! Heads up! Grab the thing and get rid of it! Toes that bomb into the central vent! It'll be safe enough. Come on! Stupid thing. Here's another one! Number three's almost clear! Got it! It's all yours. Break through that webbing! It's blocking the vent! Damn - this one's tricky.
 * Wolverine: Leavin? I got a bad feeling about this...
 * Nick Fury: Well, well, well... look who's back in the land of the livin'.


 * Nick Fury: You're in a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base that only I know about. Hm, well, I guess now you know about it, too. You guys did a good job of buyin' me time to defuse those bombs. I got most of 'em... ...but not all. Neither side is gettin' too specific, but a good number of those heroes got pretty badly hurt in the explosions. No one saw that those mind-controlled freaks were tryin' to do, or that we tried to stop 'em. So it was up to me to save you. While you healed up, I tried to warn Stark about what had really happened. --ah, c'mon, Tony. I'm telling you, those "mind-controlled" criminals of yours were completely out of control. They're the ones who rigged the explosions. I tried to-
 * Iron Man: (Hologram) And I'm telling you it's impossible. Our records show the villains were accounted for the entire time-
 * Nick Fury: Someone hijacked'em. I saw it myself.
 * Iron Man: (Hologram) I don't know what your angle is this time, old man, and frankly I don't care. I've got a war to win. Either help me do that, or get out of the way. (Calls off)
 * Nick Fury: Things didn't go much better with ol' wingtips, either.
 * Captain America: (Hologram) Sorry, Fury. You've got no evidence, and I need more than your word these days. Besides, if Stark's attack dogs really are turning on him and S.H.I.E.L.D., so much the better. Serves them right. (Calls off)
 * Nick Fury: They can deny it all they want, but something big is goin' down. Maybe even bigger tan this 'Civil War' you're all havin so much fun with. Someone out there is tryin' to take advantage of the situation. Maybe by now I could've figured out who, if I hadn't been too busy playin' nursemaid to you grunts. You owe me. And since you're all presumed dead by both sides, you're the perfect little group to check out this war - at least for a bit - to help me figure this thing out. You with me?
 * Wolverine: Awright, Fury. We're in.
 * Nick Fury: Remember, we've the only ones ready to figure out who's behind this. Meet me at the briefing station when you're ready for action.
 * Thing: Hey there, Suzie.
 * Invisible Woman: I hope we're doing the right thing trusting Fury again.
 * Thing: If Reed and his pal, Stark weren't bein' so stubborn, we wouldn't have to.
 * Invisible Woman: Do you hear that it could be Dr. Doom who's hijacking the nanite villains? Reed can only go by the data, so he says. I can't even believe that's the same man I married.
 * Thing: He ain't himself. I can see that too. He ain't thinkin' straight. I mean, you set up a system to control people's minds, and where can that lead? Nowhere good, Suzie.
 * Invisible Woman: I wish we could just be the plain old Fantastic Four again.
 * Thing: Whoa! Better him than me! Yo, flamebrain. What's up?
 * Human Torch: Can you believe we're stuck trusting Fury again?
 * Thing: If Reed and his pal, Stark weren't bein' so stubborn, we wouldn't have to. Yeah, or any of them other world domination freaks. Who knows? And that's my whole problem with Reed right now. I mean, you set up a system to control people's minds, and where can that lead? Nowhere good, matchstick.
 * Human Torch: I wish we could be the plain old Fantastic Four again.
 * Thing: You an' me both, kid. Hey, how's it goin'?
 * Juggernaut: Pretty funny how you skipped out on your friends. Still sure you did the right thing?
 * Thing: Sure, I'm sure. I didn't want no part of it to start with. I eventually got roped into choosin' a side, but I shoulda stuck with my gut. I ain't sayin' that. But fightin' other heroes, and old friends? I hope that stuff is gonna stay in the rearview mirror. I wouldn't be here if I didn't. I know the guy can be a bit shady, but his heart's always in the right place. He, he didn't have no super powers. Guy'd probably be dead a hundred times over without them things. Awright, I'm all talked out. See ya later.
 * Nick Fury: Hey, there. What's up?
 * Juggernaut: So do you have secret plan to crack this?
 * Nick Fury: I got connections. Or maybe you didn't notice our old pal the Tinkerer hangin' around here? You got it. Plus he invented the nanotech that Stark and Richards modified for their use. If the Tinkerer can't help us solve this, no one can.
 * Juggernaut: So do you have secret plan to crack this? Any idea what Rogers and Stark are up to now?
 * Nick Fury: Probably lickin' their wounds and getting' ready for Round Two... and Round Three, and Four. Not sure what it would take to get their minds off this Civil War.
 * Juggernaut: You think you can make 'em listen?
 * Nick Fury: Depends on what we find. If it's some two-bit hacker operation, we can shut 'em down ourselves. But I think it's a big-name bad guy, and if so, we might need some support. Gotta run. Talk to ya later.
 * Tinkerer: What do you want? I'm busy.
 * Wolverine: Explain how I'm supposed to trust your wrinkled hide. So which of your criminal buddies you think is behind this?
 * Tinkerer: You can't apart from knowing that your friend Colonel Fury can be very... persuasive. I am at your disposal until this mystery is solved. Ah, threats. The ideal way to motivate a great mind, eh? Assuming it's not an inside job, our primary suspects include Mr. Sinister, Baron Zemo and Dr. Doom.
 * Wolverine: Zemo? He doesn't have the chops for this.
 * Tinkerer: He is a scientific genius and is incredibly resourceful. His quest for power could take him in any number of directions. Now please... I must return to my work. Good-bye.
 * Nick Fury: Awight, listen up, Tinkerer here's been tryin' to figure out who might be pullin' the stings of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s nanite criminals when no one's lookin'.
 * Tinkerer: Since I had some... involvement... in the original nanotechnology S.H.I.E.L.D. has converted for their use, I was optimistic that I could puzzle out the situation with the data already available. However, that has not proven to be the case. I have nothing more than conjecture at this point. In order to determine what's really happening, I will need to view the networking logs for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s nanite control grid. Unfortunately their signal is highly encrypted. It could take years to break their code and directly their servers.
 * Nick Fury: We don't have time for that, obviously. The shorter and quicker route is to physically transmit that data directly from their servers, which we've discovered are located in Ryker's Island penitentiary. So that's where you're headed. Now don't worry, I know tryin' to burst into that place on your own would be near impossible, since it also contains the portal to Stark's Negative Zone prison. But we got information that Captain America and his forces are about to stage a prison break to release their buddies from the Negative Zone. They'll have to smash through Ryker's to get there. We'll take advantage by having you piggybank on their incurison. While they're driving toward the portal, you'll follow in their wake and get that data sent to us. Then we can figure out who the hell's grabbing control of these psychos, and why. S.H.I.E.L.D. should have their hands full, but I'll patch you into their comm channel so you won't get any nasty surprises. Now get to the portal room and upload those network logs.
 * Maria Hill: Attention S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel -- this is Commander Hill. Any superhumans not accompained by Iron Man should be detained, by any means necessary.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: More capes? You heard Hill's order - take 'em down!
 * Maria Hill: S.H.I.E.L.D. forces, we've got rogue superheroes running loose in the west cellblock. Contain them!
 * Nick Fury: Cap's strike team has already crossed into the Negative Zone. That means you're the only targets Hill's got left on this side.
 * Maria Hill: Stand down, 'heroes'. You might have helped us down before, but I can't be sure who you're working for now. No can do. Bring them down! Iron Man has secured the Negative Zone portal. Fall back to the courtyard!
 * Iron Man: Penance, stay here and guard this door. No one gets through, understand? And keep an eye on these nanite-controlled prisoners.
 * Penance: Okay.
 * Nick Fury: The computer with the data we need is in that holding chamber, but the area's sealed. You'll have to get the access card from Hill.
 * Maria Hill: Whether you're with White Star or not, you're breaking the law, and will be dealt with accordingly. Dammit, they're like fish in a barrel! Cut them down!
 * Nick Fury: The force field is powered by the towers. Target those turrets!
 * Maria Hill: Reinforcements en route. Don't let them break the last force field! Keep them away from the force field generators! Stay on them!
 * Nick Fury: She's goin' for her chopper!
 * Maria Hill: Fine, take the key. Go help Captain America or whatever you think you need to do. But there's an army on the other side of that portal waiting to stop you. I'll enjoy interrogating you when this is all over.
 * Nick Fury: Ain't she a sweetheart? Now go get that data.
 * Maria Hill: Anyone who's standing get to the portal! Rogue supers just stole my access key. Cut them off!
 * Penance: Don't worry, Hill. I'll stop 'em.
 * Computer Voice: S.H.I.E.L.D. level Ten clearance accepted. Security, teleport-scrambling and monitoring disabled.
 * Penance: Not so fast. I've got my orders. Now here's one for you get the hell out! Ypu won't get past me... you WON'T! Oh, man, they're all loose!
 * Nick Fury: Use that networking monitor station to send their logs to us for analysis. We got the transmission, and Tinkerer's done a quick analysis on the data. Doesn't look good.
 * Tinkerer: We were concerned that an unknown megalomaniac might be overriding S.H.I.E.L.D.'s nanite control signals, with intentions unknown. However, the truth is much stranger, and potentially much more troubling. There is no secret mastermind pulling the strings of these criminals. The network that links their minds has become large and complex enough to emerge as its own intelligence: a neural net whose intellect grows each time they inject another host with the nanites.
 * Nick Fury: The only reason this thing hasn't already spread like wildfire is because S.H.I.E.L.D. lets just a few of 'em out at a time.
 * Tinkerer: Correct. If the entire group were released from lockdown, they could escape Prison 42 and quickly spread across the Earth like a techno-plague. Everyone would eventually become part of its collective consciousness.
 * Nick Fury: We already saw that they could override S.H.I.E.L.D. control Wouldn't there be any way to stop 'em?
 * Tinkerer: To determine that, I would need a pure, untainted sample of the nanite material... one that hasn't yet been injected into a host.
 * Nick Fury: Okay. They must have some of that in their Negative Zone jailhouse. And we won't get a better chance to had in there and grab some of that stuff than right now, while the heroes are still beatin' the crap out of each other. I'm gonna have to do this the old-fashioned way. Sit tight till I arrive to help you out. Ugh. Teleporting makes my skin crawl. But you'll need my help, and I can't send a decoy into the Negative Zone. Signal won't cross over. I expect Cap and Iron Man will still be butting heads in there. Let's move while they're distracted. This is the best shot we're gonna get to break into that person... we gotta take it. Otherwise nobody'll be sitting on an antidote that could save humanity from this thing.
 * Penance: Hnnh. And I thought everyone was too busy fighting each other to watch out for innocents. Let me help. I can activate the portal for you.
 * Nick Fury: Thanks, Robbie.
 * Penance: Go on through. I'll be ready to help you anytime.
 * Nick Fury: It's a lot easier gettin' into this place than gettin' out. I'll head to the portal control room to make sure this gate's open for us when it's time to book. The nanite labs are a few levels below us. Head down and grab us that pure sample. I'll meet you back here. Yeah, and I was kickin' butt back when your mama was wipin' yours. I can handle myself. I'll let you know when I reach the control room. Form there I should be ale to help clear your way. Now get going.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: What the hell -- ? Stark said the portal was secure!
 * Officer Swanson: Lab personnel, this is Nanite Control. Detain those rogue heroes! We're going to bring another nanite agent online to assist you.
 * Nick Fury: Sounds like they're prepping everyone for nanite injection.Try to stop 'em before they use up that sample we're after. Awright, I'm in portal control. Security's pretty light up here... everyone must be focused on the main fight. Lemme see if I can open a path for ya. There, got it. Hurry up and get that sample.
 * Officer Swanson: I don't care if he hasn't been fully prepped. We need Equinox online to defend the labs. Start the procedure! Stay back... I'm gonna skip the startup protocol and take direct control ASAP. Should have this freak on the leash any second. Done! I never liked working with these "heroes" anyway. Time to put 'em on ice!
 * Nick Fury: Damn. He's been injected with the pure sample. I'll find you another one. Found it. Head to the other side of the labs. You can grab a pure sample there.
 * Officer Swanson: Now! Overload the decontamination field!
 * Nick Fury: I can't disable that thing remotely. Find a way around, see if you can shut it off. That cleared your way. You can head for the sample now.
 * Nick Fury: You'll have to stop those capes yourselves! We can't get another nanite agent online in time! Finally. Grab the pure sample from that machine. Good work, team You should be clear to head back to the portal. No one's gonna stop ya... they're all too busy partyin' it up in the cell blocks...
 * Luke Cage: We'll never reach the jail cells at the rate!
 * Captain America: Are those the conduits we saw the schematics?
 * Luke Cage: Yeah -- the only exposed power cables for both the main systems and the back-ups.
 * Captain America: Those get out, and the cells open up? Including S.H.I.E.L.D.'s remote control super criminals?
 * Luke Cage: You got it. But the released prisoners might give S.H.I.E.L.D. more than they can handle - least for a few minutes. Could help cover our escape.
 * Iron Man: Never thought the cavalry would look quite like that... but I'll take it. Nanite Control, watch what you're doing with those prisoners! They just-- Dammit, Swanson! Get thosr prisoners attack the right targets!
 * Officer Swanson: We're trying, sir, but they're not responding. The inhibitor transmissions aren't any effect!
 * Iron Man: Then spike their nanochains! Shut them down, NOW!
 * Officer Swanson: No effect, Mr. Stark! The villains are completely out of control!
 * Venom: You don't say.
 * Captain America: Looks like Fury was right about your nanite-injected slaves.
 * Iron Man: We had it under control until you busted in here and release them all.
 * Mr. Fantastic: Gentlemen, I suggest we focus on getting our people out of here alive.
 * Nick Fury: Dammit, this is exactly what we were worried about. The nanite agents are free, and they're showin' give mind behavior. Great... looks like the power surge knocked out of the portal. We'll need to get our people outta here. Take that lift and rendezvous with Cap and Iron Man. You explain the situation to them while I try ta figure a way to jump-start that portal.
 * Iron Man: Where did you-?! It doesn't matter. We need your help. Something's gone terribly wrong with the nanite control systems. Base on what? The rantings of a manipulative-
 * Captain America: Tony, there is no time to fight about this. We've got to work together to get everyone out of here.
 * Iron Man: You're right - but this portal's offline. We're going to need to fight through the escaped inmates to get power flowing it again.
 * Captain America: It won't be easy. Their link to make them nearly invulnerable.
 * Iron Man: You have? Okay, then... sounds like a plan. Get power flowing to this portal.
 * Captain America: Head to the top of the cellblocks to reach the power conducts. Tony and I can hold this portal as a rally point. Send any heroes you run into back here.
 * Iron Man: Sorry about what I said before. You and Fury kept your eyes on the ball while the rest of us were fighting over who was right. I only hope it's not too late.
 * Nick Fury: Sounds like those two have come to their senses. 'Bout time! Guess I'll switch us over to their radio frequency.
 * Iron Man: Fury? Is that you?
 * Nick Fury: In the flesh, Stark. And that ain't a figure of speech.
 * Iron Man: I hate to say it, old man, but you're right. We should've listened.
 * Captain America: We're just lucky you and your team saw this coming, Nick. The nanite link is letting them share powers somehow. Be careful out there.
 * Nick Fury: Stark, any idea how we can deal with this power sharing?
 * Iron Man: Target the ones in orange. They're the high power level superheroes. Beyond that - I have no idea what we're seeing.
 * Captain America: These linked powers are no joke. We need the portal online so we can get our people out of here.
 * Nick Fury: I can't disable those things from here. Should be some panels you can trigger to help clear your way.
 * Luke Cage: Cage here. Area's clear. I'm heading to the portal. Almost there. Ran into some trouble on the third floor, but I think I can - ungh!
 * Captain America: Luke? Luke! He's not responding! Get to his location!
 * Luke Cage: Thanks. Those freaks meant business. I'm gonna go help Cap at the portal.
 * Nick Fury: Get that pure nanite sample they left. Never hurts to have a spare.
 * Captain America: Fury, the prisoners are taking our people alive. Any idea what they're trying to do?
 * Nick Fury: There share one mind, they want to add more and more people to their group - and they'll kill anyone who stands in their way.
 * Iron Man: And if they get back to Earth...?
 * Nick Fury: We can't let that happen, Stark. No matter what. Oh, great. Now the prison 'bots come back online. Sit tight. I'll open an exit. Damn stubborn piece of... there! Fields should be down now.
 * Firestar: Get me out of here! They're trying to turn me into one of them! I can't get out of this thing while it's energized!
 * Captain America: Good job getting Firestar out. Send her our way.
 * Nick Fury: You'll have to get down to the tower level to restore power. There's a lift nearby.
 * Iron Man: A few energy cores were... displaced earlier. If you move them back into position. Fury should be able to restore power.
 * Nick Fury: Great. One more should do it. That did it! Energizing the portal now!
 * Captain America: These nanite villains just keep coming! Is there no way to shut them down?
 * Nick Fury: We're going to have to do something decisive - and fast. I can't bring those turrets down. You'll have to fight past 'em. They're reviving each other somehow. Not good.
 * Captain America: Toe-to-toe, we can't win this fight. We need another option.
 * Iron Man: Well, there is a self-destruct protocol for the prison. But Reed and I never -
 * Captain America: We can't! Some good people are still unaccounted for.
 * Nick Fury: Cap, it's our only chance to keep this from spreading to Earth. Send me the codes, Tony. I can trigger the destruction sequence from here, then meet you at the portal. This is Nick Fury to all friendly forces. We're gonna blow this place to kingdom come. Get yer butts to the portal, double-time!
 * Iron Man: If we clear area. Fury can trigger the destruct sequence and follow us out.
 * Captain America: Resistance is thinning out a bit here, Fury. Is that the self-destruct set?
 * Nick Fury: Hey. I didn't design this thing, awright?! Just hang in there.
 * Iron Man: It looks like they've backed off the moment, Fury. Can you trigger the destruct sequence or not?
 * Nick Fury: Close enough! Head through the portal and make sure the only the good guys come through. Get going. I'll be right behind you.
 * TJ Combo: You made it! Was Merlin behind you?
 * Bentley: Hmm, closed off from the other side.
 * Sora: What do you think it means? Did Merlin detonate--?
 * Carmelita: Step to one side, Keyberer. You and your friends are under arrest.
 * Sora: For Pete's sake, Carmelita... these people need medical attention!
 * Philip: He's right. Lower your weapons and call in the medics--
 * Carmelita: No, Phil. I'm under direct orders from the President. The SRA dictates that these unregistered--
 * Philip: We're giving everyone temporary amnesty, on my authority, at least until we figure out what just happened. If you have a problem with that, Inspector Fox, you're going to have to keep it up with all of us.
 * Carmelita: Get the medics down here.
 * Priest: ...so many lives apparently lost. And yet, lost so that many more lives might be saved. We may not know the true fate of Nicolas Fury, but we do know he showed his willingness to sacrifice himself on behalf of us all. For him -- and for me the rest of the missing and presumed deceased -- we ask Almighty God to watch over their souls. Amen.
 * Iron Man: I've got to hand to Fury. I'm not sure we ever would've found this place if you hadn't lead us here.
 * Deadpool: Hey, at least some of us were smart enough to believe him. If the rest of you had, who knows? Maybe he wouldn't be pushin' up desires right now.
 * Captain America: You're right, but... I'm not ready to buy that Fury and the others are dead. Not yet. We found no bodies, no detected no explosion... how can we be sure what really happened?
 * Mr. Fantastic: Tony and I have already been over this a dozen times. We can't be sure... not without a working portal to the Negative Zone. And that will take us weeks to bring online.
 * Luke Cage: Great. So in the meantime, it just goes down as a mystery?
 * Mr. Fantastic: Yes. But we do have some evidence of Fury's success. I've been monitoring, and there's no sign of the nanite collective's signals here on Earth. It's a shame the Tinkerer seems to have escaped. I was hoping his research would corroborate my own. Still, I believe I can use this scanner to confirm that the nanites haven't - oh no.
 * Captain America: What is it?
 * Mr. Fantastic: Nanite control signals. Hundreds... maybe thousands of them.
 * Luke Cage: Fury failed?
 * Captain America: We all failed. We lost our way.
 * Iron Man: And now the world pays the price. We're facing what looks like a full-scale invasion. Let's meet at the briefing station ASAP.
 * Captain America: Hi, Tony.
 * Iron Man: So Fury contacted you too about the nanite threat? After the chemical plant incident?
 * Captain America: Yes. I realize I should've listened, but at the time... well, let's just say I figured it was another scam. Fury's laspe in judgement and subsequent actions turned him into the "boy who cried wolf" at the worst possible time. That's a sobering thought, But I can't imagine Fury's mind ever being enslaved by anyone or anything. Hello, Reed.
 * Mr. Fantastic: Steve, I haven't had a chance to apologize for... well, for a lot of things.
 * Captain America: Maybe you should pick your favorite. There's no time for dwell on that. We need to focus on this new threat now. I don't know enough about this thing to give you solid advice on that. Maybe check with Tony.
 * Iron Man: Hi, Steve.
 * Captain America: I wanted to say I'm sorry how this all turned out. I wasn't thinking clearly when I released all the inmates in Prison 42.
 * Iron Man: It wouldn't have been an issue if we hadn't started this whole nanite control program in the first place. What were we doing? If we get the chance. The fact is, I didn't like who that war was turning me into. And now I worry what our mistakes might end up turning us all into. I know. I just hope we can use our knowledge of their network against them. Hi, Reed.
 * Mr. Fantastic: Tony, I just apologize for what's happened. I should have realized there was an infinitesimal possibility that the control network could evolve into a collective consciousness.
 * Iron Man: This isn't the time for looking back in regret, Reed. We have to concentrate on the problem at hand. We have to do both. Every one of them we cure is another ally for us. I'm more concerned about your state of mind, actually. Are you going to be able to give this your all? Was that a joke? Hm, now I'm really worried about you.
 * She Hulk: Hello, Cap.
 * Captain America: Things aren't good, Jennifer. We might need you and a few others to stay here while the rest of us deal with the nanite incursions.
 * She Hulk: Not a problem. By the way, it's good to be on the same team again, Steve. We did some things I'm not proud of. But that's in the past. At this point, there's nothing more important than shutting down the nanite collective. I hate to even think about that. Robbie... how are you doing?
 * Penance: I'm okay. I thought I should say hello.
 * She Hulk: It's... it's good to see you I'm glad you got out of prison all right. It does matter, Robbie. You can't forget that. I arranged the plea bargain for you, but I didn't know you'd turn into... this. You need to talk with Doc Samson when this is all over, okay? My God... what have we done to you?
 * Firestar: Robbie? Is that... really you?
 * Penance: It depends on how you look at it. How are you doing, Angelica?
 * Firestar: How do you think I'm doing? Vance is still missing. But now I'm almost as worried about you, Robbie... what's happened to you? You didn't kill anyone, Robbie. Don't let them tell you you did. I know what happened was horrible. But it wasn't your fault, at least not entirely. You can't take this on. I know someday you'll get over this, Robbie. And when that day comes, I want to be there to welcome you back.
 * Captain America: In the span of just a few hours, the world has gone insane. The nanite collective's agents are swarming all over the globe. Infecting key victims in an apparent bid to eliminate all serious resistance to their expansion.
 * Iron Man: Their movements seem methodical and well-coordinated. They must have used Prison 42's portal system to move this fast. Worse time is on their side. If we can't stamp this out quickly, it will grow to encompass all of humanity.
 * Captain America: In the face of this new threat, the Registration Act has been temporarily suspended to allow us to work together.
 * Iron Man: We're deploying teams around the world, but the most explosive situation right now is in the African nation of Wakanda, which has reported a massive incursion into their capital city. Ruled by our friend T'Challa, also known as the Black Panther, Wakanda is a highly-advanced country blessed wit the world's only deposits of vibranium.
 * Captain America: Your knowledge of the nanite collective makes you the best team to send into this combat zone. Do whatever it takes to help Black Panther defeat these invaders and regain control of his country.
 * Black Panther: Thank goodness you're here, my friends! Not time for pleasantries, though. The enemy have our city surrounded, and they are firing on us with siege cannons! Please take out guns - we can't hold out against them much longer!
 * Wakandan Guard: You will never take Wakanda, invaders! Thank you, heroes! Your help is most welcome. The nanites are spreading - the escaped inmates have infected hordes or mercenaries. And now they have come for us. We must stop assault before they take the city. The cannons are our primary target.
 * Cable: Thanks for the intel. We'll take it from here.
 * Wakandan Guard: And I should leave Wakanda's defense to foreigners? Ha! Not a chance. Come, they have more artillery ahead. I will open the security fields for you. They have enough cannon near here. We must find it. Excellent! We should ascent he mountain now. This ancient lock was built to secure the path - but I'm sure you'll be able to open it. Sometimes the old ways are not the best... at least when it comes to security systems. They are using their powers to shield the cannons! Stop them! Let us go on to defend the city.
 * Storm: Havok? Alexander, what are you doing here?
 * Jean Grey: Havok? Alex, what are you doing?
 * Black Panther: You have done well, but the enemy is inside the city. Please, hurry.
 * Wakandan Guard: King T'Challa needs your help. I will secure Havok, then follow you to the city. Go!
 * Black Panther: They have taken our defenses offline, leaving us vulnerable to airbone assault! Head to the towers at the top of the city to restore the defenses. Breaking those is a fine idea. I do not want their teleporter pods in my city. Head to the towers at the top of the city to restore the defenses. Beware! Incoming aircraft! You are near the defense towers. Please, get their power cores back to the sockets. Good. There is another tower is repair nearby.
 * Wakandan Guard: You have aided us greatly, heroes, but there is more to be done. We must activate one last tower. Let us descend. I shall open the way for you. Come along. We must travel down to the marketplace.
 * Black Panther: It is done! Our city is safe.
 * Wakandan Guard: We must travel to the Panther's place through here. It remains undefended.
 * Black Panther: Focus on Justice! His powers are shielding A-Bomb!
 * Wakandan Guard: Our homes are safe. I shall post guards with these two while we go secure the palace.
 * Black Panther: Your help in the city is much appreciated, but the palace defenses are still offline. I must ask for your help once again. Use the lift to reach the palace grounds. There are two towers in the palace defense network. Restore them, and I will open the way to the palace.
 * Wakandan Guard: The final power core must be still placed into the large tower.
 * Black Panther: It appears we are safe, thanks to you. But it seems things are going badly back in New York. I will patch you in...
 * She-Hulk: ...priority one distress call from Stark Tower to all friendly forces. We are under attack. Invading force is compromised of nanite-controlled criminals as well as infected super heroes, including - unhhh!
 * Colossus: She-Hulk, look out! I will deal with -- arrrgh!!
 * Hercules: Colossus!
 * She-Hulk: Fall-back! Fall b--
 * Black Panther: She-Hulk! Stark Tower, respond! Please join me inside. I will continue trying to contact our allies. Panther calling Stark Tower, She-Hulk, do you read?
 * Storm: Fury...? You survived?
 * Fold Nick Fury: Surviving and thriving. Better'n ever, in fact.
 * Storm: Wait... what are you saying?
 * Fold Nick Fury: I'm sayin' what you should already know. I'm in the Fold now.
 * Storm: "The Fold"? What are you talking about?
 * Fold Nick Fury: I'm talking about the end of war. I'm talking about sharing what's left of this God-forsaken planet. Everyone... together.
 * Storm: You are... not yourself. You are one of them, now.


 * Black Panther: They've broken through our defenses! How...? No! My people, taken! This has gone too far! Goblin! Venom as well?! How many foes will Fury at us? Thank you. Without your aid. I shudder to think what would have become of my homeland. Now... what should we do wit these two?
 * Captain America: The fall of Stark Tower was just the beginning. Over the past few weeks, the Fold aggressively ramped up its campaign to take over all of humanity. Many of our closest friends and allies remain uncounted for. We have to assume they've been taken over the Fold.
 * Iron Man: It's no coincidence, either. The Fold's primary targets are clearly superhumans, and thanks to the acquisition of Fury and his decades of intel, they've been able to make serious inroads in expanding the colelctive's power base. Fortunately, Fury's knowledge of Wakanda isn't comprehensive, which is why we've been using Black Panther's Palace as our temporary base of operations.
 * Mr. Fantastic: Fold forces were unable to retrieve Venom and Green Goblin you defeated them. Using the pure samples your team obtained from Prison 42, we've been able to cure these two criminals of their infection.
 * Iron Man: Venom and Goblin both clam a strong desire to help us to sop the Fold. They're not the trustworthy of allies, but frankly we can't afford to turn them away. With the Fold growing exponentially -- infecting entire populations as a time -- it's becoming obvious we can't win a war of attrition against them. Their network seems to be the key... if we could only find a way to disrupt it. Unfortunately, they've clearly been taking steps to make that all but impossible.
 * Captain America: Our best minds are working hard to devise a strategy to defeat the Fold before it becomes unstoppable. We'll left you know if and when we come up with anything solid.
 * Black Panther: My home is yours, friends... everything here is at your disposal. Let us meet at the briefing station when you're ready to act.
 * Green Goblin: Oh, it's you.
 * Spider-Man: Heya, Gobby. How's it feel to be on the good guys' side for a change?
 * Green Goblin: That's a relative therm. But I'm happy to finally to be uncollared, with my mind clear at last. I may need to work with you, but I don't have to enjoy it. If you know what's good for you, you'll give me a wide berth. Arrgh! Nothing can be worth this!
 * Mr. Fantastic: Hello, Sue.
 * Invisible Woman: Reed, I hope you didn't worry too much while we were off helping Fury get to the bottom of this thing.
 * Mr. Fantastic: I can't say I wasn't concerned, but now I understand why you did it. At this point my full attention is devoted to studying how the Fold's control network is evolving.
 * Invisible Woman: How is it evolving? Do you think you'll solve it in time to do us any good?
 * Mr. Fantastic: I'm cautiously optimistic. If we can find a weak link in their security, we'll have a chance to destroy the Fold in one fell swoop. I can't help feel like this is all my fault. I have to solve this, Susan, or I'll die knowing I doomed inhumanity to becoming a race of mental slaves. Agreed. On both counts. Hello, Ben.
 * Thing: Hey, Stretch. Hope you didn't fret too much while we were off helpin' Fury get to the bottom of this thing.
 * Mr. Fantastic: I can't say I wasn't concerned, but now I understand why you did it. At this point my full attention is devoted to studying how the Fold's control network is evolving.
 * Thing: Great, but how do we turn that into a weapon?
 * Mr. Fantastic: The network is the key to the Fold's existence. With it, they're almost unstoppable. Without it, Fold wouldn't even exist. It's the latter possibility we're exploring. I can't help feel like this is all my fault. I have to solve this, Ben, or I'll die knowing I doomed inhumanity to becoming a race of mental slaves. Thanks, Ben, I hope you're right. Hello, Johnny.
 * Human Torch: Hey, Reed. Hope you didn't worry too much while we were off helping Fury get to the bottom of this thing.
 * Mr. Fantastic: I can't say I wasn't concerned, but now I understand why you did it. At this point my full attention is devoted to studying how the Fold's control network is evolving. In addition, to their network encryption becoming even more robust, there are indications they are experimenting with trying to share special abilities beyond just their local groups. We have to hope they don't succeed in that. I can't help feel like this is all my fault. I have to solve this, Ben, or I'll die knowing I doomed inhumanity to becoming a race of mental slaves. (Chuckles) Ah, I see. Very amusing. Thanks, Johnny. I needed that. Oh, hello. What can I do for you?
 * Spider-Man: So what science-y shenanigans have you been up to?
 * Mr. Fantastic: Hank and I have been studying the tech recovered after we liberated Wakanda City. It's given us some insight in how the Fold's network configuration is evolving. I'm cautiously optimistic. If we can find a weak link in their security, we'll have a chance to destroy the Fold in one feel swoop. There's no way to really know. Based on the converation with Nick Fury. I'd say their own personalities are intact, but their desires have all been converted into those of the group mind. The simulators are significant, I agree. But in this case, the brainwashing occurs almost instantaneously after the victim is injected with nanites. I'm sorry, I must return to my work now.
 * Green Goblin: What do you want? I'm sure I will be, once this is all over. But for now, you need my help against the Fold. Long as you keep me away from that spider-freak, yes.
 * Venom: Great. The webhead wants to talk.
 * Spider-Man: They say the clothes make the man, Gargan. But in your case, even with the symbiote, you still only add up to half a man.
 * Venom: It may be a hand-me-down, Parker, but least I had the good sense not to throw it away. Not as much as the ladies do. Seriously, thorough, Parker, - if they get me again - turn me on of them... promise me you'd kill me. Don't get used to it. What do you want? Hey, I didn't have control over my actions. What isn't to say I feel bad about 'em. Oooh, this is gonna be fun. Let's just say it's good to be back down to just two voices in my head. Yeah, whatever. Just point me in those zombies' direction and I'll tear'em apart. So, let's do this again soon. Or, hey, better yet, let's not.
 * Bishop: Hey. How's it going? I don't know what to think anymore. But if the Fold takes over, the future I knew will took almost appealing in some ways. Okay, I've got to run. Take care.
 * Yellowjacket: Hi, I'm pretty busy right now, but I guess I can chat for a moment.
 * Spider-Man: So did you solve this yet? We need a heckuva job here, Pymmy.
 * Yellowjacket: We're doing our best. They're extending their influence much fater than we would have ever envisioned. We do believe the network is the key. Shut that down, and there's no more collective. Unfortunately, we'll never break the encryption. The bottom line is we don't have much time. We project all metahumans could be absorbed within three weeks. The rest of the population would fall several months later. I don't have time to try to convince you. Now if you'll excuse me...
 * Black Panther: Hello, my friend. What can I do for you? Reasonably sure, thanks to your timely intervention. Now that we know how the Fold operates, we can be ready. Our people have been hard at work on that very subject. I'm sure, Dr. Pym could tell you more.
 * Spider-Man: What happened to our friends who didn't get out of Stark Tower in time?
 * Black Panther: A few escaped... but most did not. The Fold's abilities are formidable. And they continue to row every day. I will have to bid you good-bye for now.
 * Iron Man: Analysis of Fold technology retrieved after the liberation of Wakanda has revealed details about the collective and how it's spreading. We are aware of massive "repeater towers" being erected at secret locations around the globe at an astonishing rate.
 * Mr. Fantastic: These heavily-defended towers are clearly being built to extend the reach of their network. Like the internet, their grid is adaptive and seems highly resistant to being completely shut down. So, trying to destroy the towers would be an inefficient use of our time resources.
 * Iron Man: However, we might still have an ace in the hole. Our nanite stasis signal should still function, if we could only broadcast it on their network. Their encryption makes that impossible to do from the outside, but if we were able to take control of one of their repeater towers and send the signal from there, it just might work.
 * Mr. Fantastic: We've identified only one tower that is central enough to reach the entire Fold before they could react.
 * Iron Man: If we were able to infiltrate this enemy base and send the shutdown signal, all members of the Fold would be paralyzed, allowing us to round them up and cure them of the nanite infection.
 * Captain America: It sounds simple, but it won't be easy. Iceland was one of the first countries to be completely overtaken by the collective. However, this may by our only shot at defeating the Fold. If we fail here, we'll have revealed our only trump card. And they won't give us another chance, once they figure out what we're up to. We'll get as close to the tower as we can without attracting their attention. From there, we'll have to fight through their defenses, make our way into the base, and send out that signal.
 * Black Panther: That's as close as we can get you. You must find a way inside so you can send out the stasis signal. Dr. Pym, are those devices anything like the recovered nanite tech you've been studying?
 * Yellowjacket: Yes, T'Challa. Team, this is Hank Pym. Those amplifiers allow them to teleport in. I'd recommend destroying as many of them as you can. It seems like the Fold is using a lot of their teleportation tech here, too. They must have adapted it from the Negative Zone portal design.
 * Black Panther: What is the delay? Smash your way out!
 * Yellowjacket: T'Challa, what's that noise?
 * Black Panther: Long-range proximity warning. We may have company before long, Dr. Pym. Defense stations, everyone!
 * Yellowjacket: If you block the side vents, I believe the central part will be forced open. Looks like you got their attention! I'd say "try not to hurt them", but there's no time for sublety. Take them down!
 * Black Panther: We have multiple intruder alerts here. We may not be able to stay in contact much longer. Hurry to the inner base to get tat stasis signal transmitted! The tower base control station is straight ahead of you, but the pad is inactive. Try blocking the other paths first! Use that object to block the teleporter. It will reroute their system and let you access other areas. Team, you must find a way to move forward! Things here are getting worse. I -- Hercules! Look out!
 * Yellowjacket: The main path is still blocked? Dammit!
 * Black Panther: We are under attack! They're throwing everything they have at us. You need to -- UNNH! What has been done to people you're fighting? What is the Fold trying to create?
 * Tinkerer: Hurry! Get him out of here! What a waste. You should have accepted Fury's offer, Spider-Man.
 * Spider-Man: Hey, if he had offered to throw in a lifetime supply of stain remover, I would've been right there. As it is, looks like we gotta fight.
 * Tinkerer: We know what you're plotting. It won't work. Very, well. You could have selected this painless option. Instead you chose... this.
 * Black Panther: Hurry! Send the signal! We cannot hold much longer! (Radio) Good work! The signal is commencing! Wait, something is wrong -- the upload has stopped! Dr. Pym, the Tinkerer must have locked them out of somehow!
 * Yellowjacket: (On Radio) Dammit! All right, uh...let me think... Okay, you should be able to override him if you can get to the top of the repeater tower itself. There should be a console up there that you can--
 * Black Panther: They got Bishop! Do whatever you have to - just get that signal out! Tinkerer will be ready for you. Do not let him stand in your way!
 * Yellowjacket: Get the Tinkerer away from that console! Hurry!
 * Black Panther: The upload is starting again! Hold your position. We cannot let anyone stop the signal this time! What are you waiting for?! Send out the stasis signal! Use the control console! Halfway there! Are you all right? Seventy-five percent complete! Hold fast, my friends! Almost there!
 * Yellowjacket: They're all paralyzed!
 * Black Panther: Reports coming in now, from all over the globe. It looks like the entire collective is down. Great work! We'll need to mobilize S.H.I.E.L.D. to begin rounding up and curing the nanite-infected population. Until then - what the...?
 * Yellowjacket: Something's channeling strange energy signatures back through the network, converging in your vicinity. Can you investigate? I think --
 * Nanite Nick Fury: Cure trick... but you did really think we wouldn't see that coming?
 * Spider-Man: It's over, Fury. You're alone, you can't possibly--
 * Nanite Nick Fury: Oh, I'm not alone. You may have frozen the Fold but you haven't eliminated it. And with these new nanites I can draw on the entire collective's power. I won't need more than a fraction of it to kill you. Then I'll shut down that annoying signal of yours for good. In another minute, it'll all be so clear. I contain multitudes. You damn throwbacks are like bacteria compared to us! We offered you everything! Can you see that?! You really think the world is better off the way we found it?
 * Black Panther: -block his projectiles! Reflect his attacks back-
 * Nanite Nuck Fury: Aargh!


 * Reporter: And so with the global battle against the Fold now won, thanks in large part to the combined efforts of the world's super heroes. Congress this week voted to amend the Superhuman Registration Act. The updated Act allows super heroes to voluntary register for training without revealing their secret identities to the government, or being pressed into mandatory police service. Tony Stark, fresh from accepting his new position as Commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., spoke earlier today at the Capitol Building regarding the agency's new attitude toward super heroes.
 * Tony Stark: It's too easy to think of super heroes as weapons... something to be deployed like an arm of the military." But now I understand, better than I ever here, that that's not what they are. They're people. We heroes can work together, and in order to protect this world, we must. But from now on our alliance will be forged in trust, not infear or force. Because no threat can stand against us when we choose to act as one.
 * (At Anti-Registration Act)
 * Patriot: Geez, Mr. Cage...!
 * Luke Cage: Don't worry, kid. He'll bounce back from this. Songbird'll be fine, too. You made the right choice. I knew you would. Now let's get the hell out of here before we got more of these lackeys to deal with.
 * Captain America: Welcome to the resistance. It's good to see there are still heroes like us, willing to stand up for what's right.


 * Luke Cage: Yeah, but none of that matters. What we got is more important.
 * Captain America: Yes. We have the moral high ground. We know we're in the right.


 * Captain America: Meantime, feel free to explore our command bunker.


 * Captain America: We won't win this thing holed up in here. Head over to the briefing station when you're ready for your first mission.


 * Captain America: Bad news -- our base in Jersey City has been discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D.


 * Captain America: Cable was in charge of setting up this operation, but we've lost contact with him. We need to recover weapons crucial to our movement and -- more importantly -- protect the data. Cable had compiled regarding our allies and other prospective base locations. From what we can tell the base defenses are already compromised. Get there ASAP and hit those invading S.H.I.E.L.D. forces from behind. There get our people and get our intel out of there!
 * Cable: Team, this is Cable. S.H.I.E.L.D. is planting explosives to destroy our combat drones. Take out their agents and disable the bombs. I'm dispatching Spider-Woman to support you.


 * Spider-Woman: Get onto the boat! S.H.I.E.L.D.'s trying to destroy our equipment - we don't have much time! Grab the explosives and get them away from the cargo! Clock's ticking! Remove those bombs! Hurry! Get the explosives off the boat! Impressive! All of our gear is safe, thanks to you. Cable's holed up nearby, in an old HYDRA base we repurposed. Leave my past out of this. We've got people to protect.


 * Cable: I'll open the gate. Get in here and stop S.H.I.E.L.D.!


 * Cable: Grab those mines! Use 'em to hit the chopper!


 * Black Widow: Your stunt in Stark Tower was cute, but this is just lunacy. You're facing down all of S.H.I.E.L.D. and taking on your -own government. Regardless, I can't let you go further. I don't want to fight you, but you're giving me no choice. Agents! Form up here!
 * Spider-Woman: Did you honestly think we'd be unable to call in reinforcements, Natasha? Your biggest weakness in your overconfidence.
 * Black Widow: I could easily say the same thing to you, Jessica. You can't win this war.
 * Spider-Woman: Time will tell.
 * Cable: I've disabled Black Widow's security override. Get inside, now! We're mounting a defense just ahead of your position. Move in and hit S.H.I.E.L.D. from behind!
 * Hutchens: Cable, this is Hutchens. Bishop and War Machine got past us before the forcefields went up!
 * Cable: Acknowledged, Hutchens. We'll be on the lookout. Meanwhile, hold the line! Those S.H.I.E.L.D. Devastators are ripping the base apart. Take them out! Great, I'll open the passage to the right. The electrical subsystem's overloaded - I need you to bring the turret defenses online. You need to get into that control room. Find someone - or something - who can get through the electrical field. Good. Now cycle the power to restore the turrets. You'll have to hit the switches in the right order. Turrets online! That'll put a few in those 'bots.
 * Spider-Woman: White Star Forces, this is Spider-Woman. Our position is being overrun by S.H.I.E.L.D. reinforcements! Watch your backs -- unnh!
 * Cable: Jessica! Damn! Get back to the central hub and stop S.H.I.E.L.D.! Bishop's blasting holes in our defenses! Take out those troops! We've got a chance now. Meet up with me in the rear of the base and we'll plan our next move. Hang back - their 'bots are prying open the doors. I can seal 'em out, but it'll take a moment. First door secured. I'll work on the other two.
 * War Machine: I'd ask you're gonna come quietly, but you're already answered that one a few times tonight.
 * Cable: He wanted a war: he got one. Now head- Bishop?! Team, get down there! We've got trouble! Ungh!
 * Bishop: Yeah, why don't you come down here? You can wave good-bye to Cable while we drag his sorry butt to jail. Unless you think you can stop us...?
 * Cable: Test... test... Team, this is Cable. I'm in a lockdown here, but I can send you burst transmissions via my info-net. You need to reach my position and stop Bishop before he downloads our intel.
 * Bishop: As you can see, we've made ourselves at home - hope you don't mind. Support team to the entrance! Get those unregistered heroes!
 * Cable: That robot's locked into a power terminal. I need to knock out three of those terminals so I can clear your way here. Good work. I'll point you toward the other two terminals.
 * Bishop: They're heading toward the second terminal. Stop their advance!
 * Cable: Another one down... watch it! Movement in the ventilation system. Converging on your position!
 * Bishop: Don't let them take down that third power terminal!
 * Cable: That did it. Now - watch it. that 'bot's fully charged! I can unlock central command now. But Bishop's camped here. You'll have to get past him to reach me.
 * Bishop: I understand you think you're doing the right thing, but you're not. And I don't have to explain why. Either back off, or suffer consequences.
 * Iron Man: Bishop? Have you - ah, dammit, I knew I should've supervised this op personally. Next time you turncoats won't be so lucky.

---
 * Iron Man: If you were smart, you'd stop this foolishness. But I can see you want to play this the hard way. So be it.
 * Captain America: We're already enjoyed some victories in this conflict, but we knew we were going to be in for a tough fight. And it looks like Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. are working overtime.
 * Luke Cage: They've been rounding up unregistered heroes and criminals like there ain't no tomorrow. In fact, we hear they're running out of room to hold 'em all.
 * Captain America: Intelligence obtained by Cable now indicates. It appears that the only way access this new prison is a via a network of tightly-guarded portals. Obviously, it sounds like a very secure faculty.
 * Luke Cage: Don't let that rattle yo, though. More folks are joining our side every day, and there's no question we can win this thing.
 * Captain America: However, keeping our people out of that prison will be one of our top portieres going forward. Good to have you here, team. Head to the briefing station when you're ready for the next assignment. Thank you for making the right choice and joining with me.


 * Captain America: We just got a word that a number of our captured friends are about to be transferred to the Negative Zone. They'll be sent these using a transdimensional portal, which we've discovered is located deep in Ryker's Island penitentiary. But they transferred to Ryker's first, via convoy. Our best bet to keep our friends out of prison is to never let them get there in the first place.
 * Cable: Unfortunately, there's a complication. We have it on good authority that Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. are bolstering their ranks with super-powered criminals. They're using some kind of nanite technology to control the behavior of these sociopaths.
 * Captain America: Don't those reckless fools have any regard for the ricks they're talking? The point is, we might run into these dogs during our rescue op. So watch your backs!
 * Cable: Then you can bust out our friends and get them to safety. Liberty Squad, convoy is now approximately four klicks from your position. Looks like S.H.I.E.L.D. doubled their guard on the anti-aircraft guns. We can't strike the convoy by air until you clear out those gun emplacements. Hit 'em fast, hit 'em hard!
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: Damn! Can't raise command! Signal's jammed!
 * Cable: We've hijacked S.H.I.E.L.D.'s comm frequencies, and are sending "all is well" messages back to the convoy. It's still on the way, so keep moving! Combat drones! How many of these damn things do they have? This op's going nowhere while those AA guns are online. Take 'em down. We can risk getting closer. Stand clear, we'll make a path for you. Good. Hill's running that convoy right on schedule. Should be here in a few minutes.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: Radio's still down. Get some firepower up here, fast!
 * Songbird: I might be in charge of handling super villains while the so-called "heroes" battle it out - but I bet I'll get bonus for stopping you traitors. Enough talking. I've got other ways to make you listen.
 * Cable: That'll shut her up. Take out that last rooftop gun across the street, Liberty. Then you'll need to hit the High Line. Rooftops secure! Use that crane to reach the High Line. Once it's clear, ambush will be a go. You're position on the High Line. Clear out the guns before the convoy shows up! We're clear - and just in time! Disable that convoy! Great shooting, lieutenant. Convoy's stopped, and prisoners are escaping on foot from the disabled transporters. You're up, Liberty. We can't let those other transporters escape. Take them offline so we have time to get our people out. Making progress, Liberty. Hit the other transports. Keep going. Once those transports are down, we'll have time to get our people out.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: Swanson, we could use some superhuman backup here!
 * Officer Swanson: We're on it. I've got just the girl for you.
 * Cable: Heads up! Looks like S.H.I.E.L.D. just brought in one of those mind-controlled criminals we heard about.
 * Thing: Stay Down, ugly! And get a manicure while yer at it... Nice to see ya fightin' bad guys for a change. What was Little Miss Fake Nails up to?
 * Cable: S.H.I.E.L.D. forces coming for you! And I don't think they care if Ben gets caught in the crossfire either.
 * Thing: Sheesh, here we go again! That's it! She just brought herself a Grade-A clobberin'. from Yours Truly! These S.H.I.E.L.D. guys are out of control... I almost hate to think of 'em winnin' with the stuff they're pullin'. Based on what I just saw, I believe it. Okay, kid, ya talked me into it. Lemme know what I can do ta help.
 * Cable: Sorry to interrupt, but we're got trouble, S.H.I.E.L.D. finally figured out we were intercepting their communications. Iron Man's on his way, approaching fast.
 * Thing: I can make sure these folks get out okay if you can handle of shellhead.
 * Cable: Sounds like a plan. Liberty Squad, get back up to the rooftops. Keep Iron Man away from the convoy until our people are in the clear!
 * Iron Man: Step lively! You can keep up, can't you? Your friends are not getting away from us. Thanks for being such good sports and playing along. You must've realized that you're all far more valuable targets than anyone in that convoy. Speaking of which- Now don't play too rough with your new toys, Hank.
 * Yellowjacket: Aw... you never let me have any fun.
 * Cable: Yellowjacket?! You deal with him - I'll try to keep Iron Man away from our friends! Hit him whenever you can! It'll still him. Building's coming down! Move, move! Hold tight, team... help is en route.
 * Firestar: Looks like you've guys've got a little problem. Come on. Let's see if we can't heat things up a bit for out "big and tall" friend.
 * Cable: Try some quick attacks to weaken him! Hit him whenever you can! He's big, but he's not invulnerable.
 * Yellowjacket: I could beat you as Ant-Man, but this is more fun.
 * Cable: Fantastic work. Not only did you take down their biggest gun, but you bought time for our people to escape. Now it's your turn. Get out of there while you can.
 * Captain America: I know it's been intense, but we can't afford to rest much around here. Take a breather, then when you're ready, head to the briefing station.
 * Cable: We just received word of a major disaster at a chemical plant in New Jersey.


 * Cable: Of course. But we're well aware this could be a trap set by our "friends". That's why we'll be using Cloak to teleport us in. He can get us right back out if there's any trouble.
 * Captain America': Okay. Let's rescue those workers.
 * Cable: Stark's forces are inside our base. While Cloak and Dagger secure the armory... ...your team needs to hurry to the locations I'm currently uploading to your map. Activate that console, and the security measures will come online. Just be ready for anything until the system is operational. Good work. There are two more traps to bring online, so get a move on. It's active? Good. Move quickly to back up Cloak and Dagger. They're losing their fight. Cloak is in the armory and he needs your help as soon as possible. Be aware that our own security systems may well be compromised. Ms. Marvel is in the base, and she is hacking through our security protocols.
 * Ms. Marvel: Shut down now, or face the consequences. Dammit...
 * Cable: She's down? Good. But it might be too little too late. Before you got there, Ms. Marvel locked down our computer systems. Your team needs to bypass her hack and set things straight. Good work. They brought the defense turrets online, but the bots aren't responding... So stay alert as you move to help Dagger. Good work. We've secured the base. Now fall back to the sewers and help defend the entrance. Heads up, team. Several blips have shown up on the scans. I suspect our friends are regrouping for another attack. Hit them and fast before they have the chance to recover. This isn't right... there's too many enemy signatures...


 * Cable: All's clear and the base is secure. Captain America has asked you all to return to his location ASAP.
 * Captain America: Good work pulling Cable's fat out of the fire. I appreciate it.
 * Goliath: Cap, you're not going to believe this.


 * Captain America: Assemble the team and move out!


 * Captain America: How many trapped workers did the radio say?
 * Cable: Over three hundred -- but something's weird. I'm not getting over my info-net. No panic signals, nothing...
 * Luke Cage: What's wrong, Cable?
 * Cable: Cloak, get us out of here! It's a trap!
 * Iron Man: Of course it's a trap. How else were we going to get you all in one place.
 * Captain America: Everyone, keep alert. We're likely to meet with resistance and I don't have to tell you what happens if we fail here.


 * Captain America: Liberty Squad, clear out that path so our people can escape I've sent Colossus to assist you - meet up with him while I draw S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention!
 * Cable: One of the nanite villains is bearing down on Colossus. Get to his position fast, Liberty.
 * Colossus: You are fools to ally with a madman like Bullseye, even if you do keep him on a nanite leash.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: Hey, he's serving his country. More'n we can say for you, Russkie.
 * Colossus: Spasiba, my friends. Our allies are heading this way, but S.H.I.E.L.D. is watching our every move from the Helicarrier. Dr. Foster has identified non-toxic chemical tanks that can be destroyed. The will create a smokescreen to block S.H.I.E.L.D.'s view. Once that is done, I will keep this path open for our escape. Cable wishes me to ensure you are not attacked from behind. I except you would agree with that thinking.
 * Cable: You're near one of these smokescreen tanks, Liberty. Smash it up - the turbulence should trigger the reaction we need. Watch yourselves! Looks like the Helicarrier is taking positions at us when they think they've got an opening! Great! Keep it up to give us better cover. They've sealed those values by remote. You'll have to tear them open to drain the tank.
 * Wonder Man: Stop right there. As a fully registered and licensed hero. Is it my duty to... uh... what's the line? Eh, I can rehearse for that commercial later. I know how this scene'll play out. I see you've let Captain America lead you astray. That is a damn shame is what that is.


 * Captain America: Goliath, we're going to need your help. Now more than ever.
 * Goliath: They've got Pym in the field, don't they?
 * Captain America: They do, soldier. And you're the only one who can take him on.
 * Goliath: I've always wondered which of us was the bigger man...
 * Yellowjacket: Enough of this! Look at yourselves! A law was passed. A LAW! You don't take to the streets in armed conflict to oppose a law. You protest. You hire lawyers. You do NOT.
 * Storm: I believe you have let your head get too big, Mister Pym. Perhaps my friends and I should bring you down to size.


 * Cable: Good, you got another one. S.H.I.E.L.D. starting to get worried. One more of those should do it. Perfect! Hill's panicking - she can't see a damn thing. That'll get us our escape route.
 * Captain America: Liberty. Dagger's moved Cloak to your vicinity, but they've been concerned. Go I can handle Stark.
 * Black Widow: I told you they were coming, She Hulk.
 * She Hulk: Last warning shot, Dagger. Step away from Cloak. Molten Man's next volley will put you in the burn unit.
 * Dagger: You people are out of your minds. I'm not leaving... ...you are.
 * She Hulk: You idiots. Cap's completely lost it - gets handed a ridiculously generous offer, and punches us in the face us in the face or extending it? How far will follow that zealot?


 * She Hulk: Just don't ever say you didn't ask for this.
 * Black Widow: Enough talk. Attack!
 * Cable: Good job, team. Let's give Dagger a chance to revive Cloak. Colossus, you stay with her to help stand guard. The rest of you, get to that elevator. Cap could use some back-up, and fast. You should be able sight Cap from there. Get to his position! I got this. You get Cap!
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: Keep them away from Iron Man! Blow it! It'll block their path!
 * Cable: Try freezing that chemical spray! There should be plenty of coolant barrels nearby.
 * Iron Man: I have fought alongside all of you as Avengers... and as friends. You are each the best of heroes. But now you have turned your backs on what is right and just. I'm surprised to see Steve isn't with you. Very unlike him to leave lambs to the slaughter. Enough of this!


 * Captain America: You beat him down pretty bad, team. I'd like to give chase and finish the fight, but there are more pressing matters at hand. Move out!


 * Iron Man: Unngh!
 * War Machine: You okay, boss?
 * Iron Man: I - unh! -- will be! Just keep those others away. This is between me and Rogers.
 * War Machine: No problem. I got your back. Tony might've held back. But I'm not Tony.
 * Cable: Cap needs your help! Don't let them keep away from him!
 * Iron Man: Took down war Machine, huh? You traitors won't have such an easy time with me. Need to give repair systems... some time...
 * Captain America: Not gonna happen, Tony.
 * Mr. Fantastic: I think your interference has gone on long enough.
 * Iron Man: Reed - unnh! - could use some back up here--!
 * Mr. Fantastic: Just once it would be nice if things went according to plan...
 * Iron Man: You're going down.
 * Captain America: Nothing can justify what you're doing. Nothing on- What's that sound, Stark? Don't move a muscle, or-
 * Iron Man: Don't worry. Not gonna move.
 * Captain America: Dammit! Cable, we had Stark cornered but he got away. Any read on his position?
 * Cable: Negative. But we think Cloak might be recovered enough to-
 * Captain America: Fine. Get anyone who's seriously wounded to his location for evac. Everyone's else stays... we're finishing this. I'll meet up with you in a bit. I'm not done with Stark yet.
 * Cable: Cap, we can't talk you getting captured-
 * Captain America: Not discussing it, Cable. You've got your orders! What are you waiting for? Get to Cloak and make sure the wounded get out safety.


 * Nick Fury: Okay. Here's the story. Some of the pet super-villains have gone AWOL and are planting bombs. I'm going to handle defusing them, but you need to keep green Goblin busy while I'm doing it.


 * Nick Fury: You there! I need yer help! Something's big going down. Those villains Stark's been controlling have gone off the leash. They've set up a trap on the core tanks that could blow everyone here to kingdom come. You're not listening. Those bombs go off, it's bad news for everyone here. Follow me and see for yourself. C'mon, we need to head to the central facility to the plant. I'll stabilize the bombs and toss 'em to you, then you dispose of 'em. Oh, and keep those two busy, would ya?
 * Spider-Man: Great. I can see the headline now: "Spider-Man goes AWOL proves He's a Crowd".
 * Nick Fury': Look, they're up to somethin'. We'll have to sort out the details later. Goblin's headed your way. I can get at the bombs now. Use that vent to get rid of the bombs! Heads up! Grab that thing and get rid of it! Toss that bomb into the central vent! It'll be safe enough. Break through that webbing! It's blocking the vent! Here's another one! Damn - this one's tricky.
 * Human Torch: What're those nutjobs up to?
 * Nick Fury: Well, well, well... look who's back in the land of the livin'.
 * Spider-Man: Where am I? What happened?
 * Nick Fury: You're in secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base that only I know about. Hm, well, I guess now you know about it, too. You guys did a good job of buyin' me time to defuse those bombs. I got most of 'em... ...but not all. Neither side is gettin' too specific, but a good number of those heroes got pretty badly hurt in the explosions. Including yourselves. No one saw what those mind-controlled freaks were tryin' to do, or that we tried to stop 'em. While you healed up, I tried to warn Stark about what had really happened.
 * Nick Fury: They're the ones who rigged the explosions. I tried to-


 * Nick Fury: Someone hijacked 'em. I saw it myself.
 * Nick Fury: Things didn't go much better with ol' wingtips, either.


 * Captain America: Sorry, Fury. You've got no evidence, and I need more than your words these days. Besides, if Stark's attack dogs really are turning on him and S.H.I.E.L.D., so much the better. Serves them right.
 * Nick Fury: Someone out there is tryin' to take advantage of the situation. Maybe by now I could've figured out who if I hadn't been too busy playin' nursemaid to you grunts. You owe me. And since you're all presumed dead by both sides, you're the perfect little group to check out of this war - at least for a bit - to help me figure this thing out. You with me?
 * Spider-Man: Alright, Fury. We're in.
 * Nick Fury: Remember, we're the only ones ready to figure out who's behind this. Meet me at the briefing station when you're ready for action. The nanotechnology mumbo jumbo is just a few feet above the head of Mama Fury's boy. Lucky for me though, I know someone who can make sense of it all -- the fella what built the little buggers in the first place. Team, meet the Tinkerer.
 * Tinkerer: I do not build the nanites, but I did the research that.
 * Nick Fury: Okay, okay. Cut to the chase. Tell them what you told me.


 * Thing: Yo, flamebrain. What's up?
 * Human Torch: Can you believe we're stuck with trusting Fury again?
 * Thing: If Reed and his pal Stark weren't bein' so stubborn we wouldn't have to.
 * Human Torch: I wish we could just be the plain old Fantastic Four again.
 * Thing: You and me both, kid.
 * Nick Fury: I got connections. Or maybe you didn't notice our old pal Tinkerer hangin' around here?
 * Nick Fury: He can help us figure out who is. Awright, listen up Tinkerer here's been tryin' to figure out who might be pullin' the strings of S.H.I.E.L.D. nanite criminals when no one's lookin'.
 * Tinkerer: Since I had some... improvement... in the original S.H.I.E.L.D. has converted for their use, I was optimistic that I could puzzle out the situation with the data already available. However, that has not proven to be the case. Unfortunately, their signal is highly encrypted. It could take yours to break their code and directly access their servers.


 * Nick Fury: Either the boys in charge of Ryker's Island have developed some interesting new ideas on how to secure a prison... ...or Captain America's already been here.


 * Nick Fury: We don't have time for that, obviously. The shorter and quicker route is to physically transmit that data directly from their servers, which we've discovered are located in Ryker's Island penitentiary. So that's where you headed. Now don't worry, I know tryin' to bust into that place on your own would be near impossible, since it also contains the portal to Stark's Negative Zone prison. But we got information that Captain America and his forces are about to stage a prison break to release their buddies from the Negative Zone. They'll have to smash through Ryker's to get there. We'll take advantage by having you piggybank on their incursion. While they're driving toward the portal, you'll follow in their wake and get that data sent to us. Then we can figure out who the hell's grabbing control of these psychos, and why. S.H.I.E.L.D. should have their hands full, but I'll patch you into their comm channel so you won't get any nasty surprises. Now get to the portal room and upload those network logs
 * Maria Hill: Attention S.H.I.E.L.D. personal -- this is Commander Hill. Any superhumans not accompanied by Iron Man should be detained by any means necessary.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: More capes? You heard Hill's order - take 'em down.
 * Nick Fury: Cap's strike team has already crossed into the Negative Zone. That means you're the only targets Hill's got left on this side.
 * Maria Hill: Bring them down! Iron Man has secured the Negative Zone portal. fall back to the courtyard!
 * Iron Man: Every single leader of the anti-registration movement just ran headlong through a hole into another dimension. All of you stay here to prevent escape. Once I'm through the portal, seal this end up. Time to finish this.


 * Iron Man: Penance, stay here and guard this door. No one gets through understand? And keep an eye on these nanite-controlled prisoners.
 * Penance: Okay.
 * Nick Fury: You lot jump down there and secure the area. I'll get this portal operational again.


 * Nick Fury: The computer with the data we need is in that holding chamber, but the area's sealed You'll have to get the access card from Hill.
 * Maria Hill: Whether you're with White Star or not, you're not breaking the law, and will be dealt with accordingly.
 * Maria Hill: Keep them away from the force field generators! Reinforcements en route. Don't let them break the last force field! Stay on them!
 * Nick Fury: She's goin' for her chopper!
 * Maria Hill: Fine, take the key. Go help Captain America or whatever you think you need to do. But there's an army on the other side of that portal waiting to stop you.
 * Nick Fury': Ain't she a sweetheart? Now go get that data.
 * Maria Hill: Anyone who's still standing: get to the portal! Rouge supers just stole my access key. Cut them off!
 * Computer Voice: S.H.I.E.L.D. Level Ten clearance accepted. Security, teleport-scrambling and monitoring disabled.
 * Penance: Not so fast. I've got my orders. Now here's one for you: get the hell out! You won't get past me ... you WON'T! Oh, man, they're all loose!
 * Nick Fury: Use that networking monitor station to send their logs to us for analysis. We got the transmission and Tinkerer's done a quick analysis on the data. Doesn't look good.
 * Tinkerer: We were concerned that an unknown megalomaniac might be overriding S.H.I.E.L.D.'s nanite control signals, with intentions unknown. However, the truth is much stranger, and potentially much more troubling. There is no secret mastermind.
 * Nick Fury: The only reason this thing hasn't already spread like wildlife is because S.H.I.E.L.D. let's just a few of 'em out at a time.
 * Nick Fury: We've already saw that they could override S.H.I.E.L.D. control. Wouldn't there be any way to stop 'em?
 * Tinkerer: To determine that, I would need a pure, untainted sample of the nanite material... one that hasn't yet been injected into a host.
 * Nick Fury: Okay. They must have some of that in their Negative Zone jailhouse. And we won't get better chance to head in there and grab some of that stuff than right now, while the heroes are still beatin' the crap out of each other. I'm gonna have to do this old-fashioned way. Sit tight till I arrive to help you out. Ugh. Teleporting makes my skin crawl. But you'll need my help, and I can't send a decoy into the Negative Zone. Signal won't cross over. I expect Cap and Iron Man will be butting heads in there. Let's move while they're distracted. This is the best shot we're gonna get to break into that prison... we gotta take it. Otherwise nobody'll be sitting on antidote that could save humanity from this thing.
 * Penance: Why is this happening? Why is any of this happening? If I could take it all back... Stamford... the New Warriors... if I could undo all of it I would. But all of you... you're just making it worse!
 * Nick Fury: Good news, soldiers. The portal's open. Now, let's go!


 * Penance: Hunh. And I thought everyone was too busy fighting each other to watch out for innocents. Let me help. I can activate the portal for you.
 * Nick Fury: Thanks, Robbie.
 * Penance: Go on through, I'll be ready to help you anytime.
 * Nick Fury: It's a lot easier gettin' into this place that gettin' out. I'll head to the portal control room to make sure this gate's open for us when it's time to book. The nanite labs are a few levels below us. Head down there and grab us that pure sample. I'll meet you back there.


 * Nick Fury: Aw for the luva... nothing ever works right. Go find the main research lab. I'm gonna go hunt down a way to get this portal propped open again.


 * Human Torch: Let's deal with these freaks, then find out who's releasing them.


 * Nick Fury: I expect to remember why we're here, and what's at stake. Don't flake out on me now. I'll let you know when I reach the control room. From there I should be able to help clear your way. Now get going.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent: What the hell -- ? Stark said the portal was secure!
 * Officer Swanson: Lab personnel, this is Nanite Control. Detain those rouge heroes! We're going to bring another nanite agent online to assist you.
 * Nick Fury: Sounds like they're prepping someone for injection. Try to stop 'em before they use up that pure sample we're after. Awright, I'm in portal control. Security's pretty light up here... everyone must be focused on the main fight. Lemme see if I can open a path for ya. There, got it. Hurry and get that sample.
 * Officer Swanson: I don't care if he hasn't been full prepped. We need Equinox online to defend the labs. Start the procedure! Stay back... I'm gonna skip the startup protocol and take direct control ASAP. Should have this freak on the leash any second. Done! I was hoping for another chance at these rebels. Time to light 'em up!
 * Nick Fury: Damn. He's been injected with the pure sample. I'll find you another one. Found it. Head to the other side of the labs. You can grab a pure sample there.
 * Officer Swanson: Now! Overload the decontamination field!
 * Nick Fury: I can't disable that thing remotely. Find a way around, see of you can shut it off. That cleared your way. You can head for the sample now.
 * Officer Swanson: You'll have to stop those cape yourselves! We can't get another nanite agent online in time!
 * Nick Fury: Creel's down folks. Grab that nanite sample and beat feet the hell out of here!


 * Nick Fury: Good work, team. You should be clear to head back to the portal. No one's gonna stop ya... they're all too busy partyin' it up in the cell blocks...
 * Luke Cage: We'll never reach the jail cells at this rate!
 * Captain America: Are those the condults we saw on the schematics?
 * Luke Cage: Yeah -- the only exposed power cables for both the main systems an the back-ups.
 * Captain America: Those get cut, and all the cells open up? including S.H.I.E.L.D.'s remote control super-criminals?
 * Luke Cage: You got it. But it released prisoners might give S.H.I.E.L.D. more than they can handle- -'least for a minutes. Could help cover our escape.
 * Iron Man: Never thought the cavalry would look quite like that... but I'll take it. Nanite Control, watch what you're doing with those prisoners! they just-- Dammit, Swanson! Get those prisoners attacking the right targets!
 * Officer Swanson: The inhibitor transmissions aren't having any effect!
 * Iron Man: Then spike their nanochains! Shut them down, NOW!
 * Officer Swanson: No effect, Mr. Stark! The villains are completely out of control!
 * Fold Venom: You don't say.
 * Captain America: Looks like Fury was right about your nanite-injected slaves.
 * Iron Man: We had it under control until you busted in here and released them all.
 * Mr. Fantastic: Gentlemen, I suggest we focus on getting our people out of here alive.


 * Nick Fury: Like screaming into a hurricane, but we've gotta do something! Save as many folks as you can find and then meet up at the rendezvous point.


 * Nick Fury: Heads up, people. The bad guys are rounding up anyone they can are showing them into cells. Looks like they're planning a little nanite slumber party. Get in there and free anybody you find before the bad guys have their way.


 * Songbird: Look, Moonstone, playthings.
 * Moonstone: Oh, very nice, Songbird. Which one shall we break first? No lollygagging here, soldiers! Let's get a move on.
 * Cloak: We are free?
 * Spider-Man: You're out of your cell, which is a start.
 * Dagger: What's happening?
 * Spider-Man: We're trying to get everyone that we can out of here.
 * Dagger: We'll help you--


 * Scorpion: Look, Norman. Heroes.


 * Spider-Man: It looks like he dropped keycard. Maybe we can use that to free the remaining prisoners.
 * Wonder Man: Thank goodness. I was on portal in the prison when I got over whelmed.
 * Spider-Man: But, you're okay now?
 * Wonder Man: Yes.
 * Spider-Man: Good. We're gathering everyone at the portal. Go see if they need any help.
 * Nick Fury: Nice work. That's everyone that was trapped in this area. Let's move on.
 * Spider-Man: If we're going to open that door, we'll need to get power to it. Let's find a way to activate the terminals.
 * Nick Fury: Do a sweep of the area. Pull anybody else out that you find and then meet up at the portal.
 * Spider-Woman: What are you guys doing here?
 * Spider-Man: Are you okay?
 * Spider-Woman: All can be appreciated. What's happening?
 * Spider-Man: We're all getting out of here, that's what. Run to the portal. We'll be there as soon as we can.
 * Nick Fury: Nice work, team. That was the last hero registered in the maximum security block. Now get to the portal and make sure everyone gets out of there.


 * Nick Fury: Dammit, this is exactly what we ere worried about. The nanite agents are free, and they're showin' hive mind behavior. Great... looks like the power surge knocked out of the portal. We'll need it to get our people outta here. Take that lift and rendezvous with Cap and Iron man. You explain the situation to them while I try ta figure a way to jump-start that portal.
 * Captain America: How did you-?! It doesn't matter. We need your help. Something's gone wrong with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s nanite control system. So you just left us high and dry on Fury's say-so? There's a word for that--
 * Iron Man: Steve, we don't have time to go over this. It's going to take teamwork to get everyone out in one place.
 * Captain America: You're right - but this portal offline. We're going to fight through the escaped inmates to get power flowing to it again.
 * Iron Man: It won't be easy. They've hijacked the wireless network we set up for them, and are somehow using it to make themselves nearly invulnerable.
 * Captain America: And you do? Okay, you're elected. Get power restored, ASAP.
 * Iron Man: Go to the top of the cellblocks to access the power condults. Cap and I can hold this portal as a rally point. If you're able to rescue anyone along the way, send them back there.
 * Captain America: And, I'm sorry about what I said before. You and Fury were fighting this threat while the rest of us were just fighting each other. I only hope it's not too late.
 * Nick Fury: Sounds like those two have come to their senses, 'Bout time! Guess I'll switch us over to their radio frequency.
 * Iron Man: Fury? is that you?
 * Nick Fury: In the flesh, Stark. And that ain't a figure of speech.
 * Iron Man: I hate to say it, old man, but you were right. We should've listened.
 * Captain America: We're just lucky you and your team saw this coming, Nick. The nanite link is letting them share powers somehow. Be careful out there.
 * Nick Fury: Stark, any idea how we can deal with this power sharing?
 * Iron Man: Target the ones in orange. They're the high power level superhumans. Beyond that - I have no idea what we're seeing.
 * Captain America: These linked powers are no joke. We need the portal online so we can get our people out of here.
 * Nick Fury: I can't disable those things from here. Should be some panels you can trigger to help clear your way.
 * Luke Cage: Cage here. Area's clear, I'm heading to the portal. Almost there. Ran into some trouble on the third floor, but I can - ungh!
 * Captain America: Luke? Luke!! He's not responding! Get to his location!
 * Luke Cage: Thanks. Those freaks meant business, I'm gonna go help Cap at the portal.
 * Nick Fury: Get that pure nanite sample they left. Never hurts to have a spare.
 * Captain America: Fury, the prisoners are taking our people alive. Any idea what they're trying to do?
 * Nick Fury: They share one mind, they want to add more and more people to their group - and they'll kill anyone who stands in their way.


 * Iron Man: And if they get back to Earth...?
 * Nick Fury: We can't let that happen, Stark. No matter what. Oh, great. NOW the prison 'bots come back online. Sit tight, I'll open an exit. damn stubborn piece of... there! Fields should be down now.
 * Firestar: Get me out of here! They're trying to turn me into one of them!
 * Captain America: Good job getting Firestar out. Send her our way.
 * Nick Fury: You'll have to get down to the lower level to restore power. There's a lift nearby.
 * Iron Man: A few energy cores were... displaced earlier. If you move them back into position, Fury should be able to restore power.
 * Nick Fury: Great. One more should do it. That did it! Energizing the portal now!
 * Iron Man: We're getting everyone out now. Get back to the portal!
 * Captain America: These nanite villains just keep coming! Is there no way to shut them down?
 * Iron man: First thing we tried. They've changed the network's encryption code, and we designed it to be unbreakable.
 * Nick Fury: We're going to have to do something decisive - and fast. They're reviving each other somehow. Not good.
 * Captain America: Toe-to-toe, we can't win this fight. We need another option.
 * Iron Man: Well, there is a self-destruct protocol for the prison. But Reed and I never -
 * Captain America: We can't! Some good people are still unaccounted for.
 * Nick Fury: Cap, it's our chance to keep this from spreading to Earth. Send me the codes, Tony. I can trigger the destruction sequence from here, then you meet at the portal.
 * Iron Man: Head's up! Moonstone's back in action.
 * Nick Fury: This is Nick Fury to all friendly forces. We're gonna blow this place to kingdom come. Get yer butts to the portal, double-time!
 * Iron Man: If we clear this area. Fury can trigger the destruct sequence and follow us out.
 * Captain America: Resistance is thinning out a bit here, Fury. Is that self-destruct set?
 * Nick Fury: Hey, I didn't design this thing, awright?! Just hang on there.
 * Iron Man: Head's up! It's Moonstone! It looks like they'be backed off for the moment, Fury. Can you trigger the destruct sequence or not?
 * Nick Fury: Close enough! Head through the portal and make sure only the good guys come through. Get going. I'll be right behind you.
 * Captain America: See you on the other side, Nick.
 * Iron Man: Steve...
 * Captain America: Tony, we can't receive this by punching each other's lights out.
 * Iron Man: So, you've changed tactics then?
 * Captain America: That's cheap, Tony... and you're never been one for cheap shots.
 * Iron Man: You're right. We have to stand together.
 * Captain america: I'm willing you are, old friend.
 * Iron Man: of course.
 * Nick Fury: Hold them off while I bring the portal online, otherwise nobody's goin' anywhere.
 * Captain America: Fury, are you close? There's too many of them!
 * Nick Fury: I've almost got it! Portal activated. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. I'm settin' the self-destruct sequence now. Sonuva! Where'd you guys come from?!
 * Captain America: Fury? Are you okay?
 * Nick Fury: Get through the portal, Cap, before there ain't no portal to get through!
 * Captain America: Not without you...
 * Nick Fury: Dammit, get through the portal now, soldier!
 * Luke Cage: You made it! Was Fury behind you?
 * Mr. Fantastic: Hmm, closed off from the other side.
 * Captain America: What do you think it means? Did Fury detonate--
 * Iron Man: If you have a problem with that, Commander Hill, you're going to have take it up with all of us.
 * Iron Man: I've got to hand to Fury. I'm not sure we ever would've found this place if you hasn't lead us here.
 * Captain America: You're right, but... I'm not ready to buy that Fury and the others are dead. Not yet. We found no bodies, detected no explosion... how can we be sure what really happened?
 * Mr. Fantastic: Tony and I have already been over this a dozen times. we can't be sure... not without a working portal to the Negative Zone. And that will take us weeks to bring online.
 * Luke Cage: Great. So in the meantime, it just goes down as a mystery?
 * Mr. Fantastic: Yes. But we do have some evidence of Fury's success. I've been monitoring, and there's still no sign of the nanite collective's signals here on Earth. It's the shame the Tinkerer seems to have escaped. I was hoping his research would corroborate my own. Still, I believe I can use this scanner to comfirm that the nanites haven't - oh, no.
 * Captain America: What is it?
 * Mr. Fantastic: Nanite control signals, Hundreds... maybe thousands of them.
 * Luke Cage: Fury failed?
 * Captain America: We all failed. We lost our way.
 * Iron Man: And now the world pays the price.
 * Captain America: We're facing what looks like a full-scale invasion. Let's meet at the briefing station ASAP.
 * Mr. Fantastic: I know we believed Fury's gambit successful...


 * Captain America: In the span of just a few hours, the world has gone insane. The nanite collective's agents are swarming all over the globe, infecting key victims in an apparent bid to eliminate all serious resistance to their expansion.
 * Iron Man: Their movements seem methodical and well-coordinated. They must have used Prison 42's portal system to move this fast. Worse, on their side. If we can't stamp this out quickly, it will grow to encompass all of humanity.
 * Captain America: In the face of this threat, the Registration Act has been temporarily suspended to allow us to work together.
 * Iron Man: We're deploying teams around the world, but the most explosive situation right now is the African nation of Wakanda. Which has reported a massive incursion into their capitol city. Ruled by our friend T'Challa, also known as the Black Panther. Wakanda is a highly-advanced country blessed with the world's only deposits of vibranium.
 * Captain America: Your knowledge of the nanite collective makes you the best team send into this combat zone. Do whatever it takes to help Black Panther defeat these invaders and regain control of his country.
 * Black Panther: Thank goodness you're here, my friends! No time for pleasantries, through. The enemy have our city surrounded, and they are firing on us with siege cannons! Please take out those guns - we can't hold out against them much longer! I would say welcome to Wakanda, but things here are not very welcoming at the moment. The infection has already begun to spread amongst my people. Only I and a few of my guards managed to stay uninfected. We are currently barricaded inside the royal palace, but I am not sure how long we can hold out.
 * Wakanda Guard: Thank you, heroes! Your help is most welcome. The nanites are spreading - the escaped immates have infected hordes of mercenaries. And now they have come for us. We must stop their assault before they take the city. The cannons are our primary target.
 * Wakanda Guard: I shall. It will be an honor to fight alongside you. Come, they have more artillery ahead. I will open the security fields for you! They have another cannon near here. We must find it. Excellent! We should ascend the mountain now. The ancient lock was built to secure the path - but I'm sure you'll be able to open it. Sometimes the old ways are not the best... at least when it comes to security systems. They are using their powers to shield the cannons! Stop them! Let us go to defend the city.
 * Songbird: Is that Havok? What's he doing here?
 * Wakanda Guard: Be careful, my friends! That is not the man you think you know!
 * Black Panther: You have done well, but the enemy is inside the city. Please, hurry.
 * Wakanda Guard: King T'Challa needs your help. I will secure Havok, then follow you to the city. Go!
 * Black Panther: They have taken our defenses offline, leaving us vulnerable to airborne assault! Head to the towers at the top of the city to restore the defenses. Breaking those is a fine idea. I do not want their teleporter pods in my city. You are near the defense towers. Please, get their power cores back into the sockets. Good. There is another tower to repair nearby.
 * Wakanda Guard: You have aided us greatly, heroes, but there is more to be done. We must activate one last tower. let us descend. I shall open the way for you. Come along. We must travel down to the marketplace. The last tower is just ahead.
 * Black Panther; It is done! Our city is safe.
 * Wakanda Guard: We must travel to the Panther's palace through here. It remains underfended.
 * Black Panther: Focus on Justice! His powers are shielding A-Bomb!
 * Wakanda Guard: Our homes are safe. I shall post guards with these two while we go secure the palace.
 * Black Panther: Your help in the city is much appreciated, but the palace defenses are still offline. I must ask for your help once again. Use the lift to reach the palace grounds. There are two towers in the palace defense network. Restore them, and I will open the way to the palace. Very good. There is but one more tower to activate.
 * Wakanda Guard: The final power core must still be placed into the large tower. Take that lift to reach the palace.
 * Black Panther: It appears we are safe, thanks to you. But it seems things are going badly back in New York. I will patch you in...
 * She Hulk: ...priority one distress call from Stark Tower to all friendly forces. We are under attack. Invading force is compromised of nanite-controlled criminals as well as infected super heroes, including - unnhh!
 * Colossus: She Hulk, look out! I will deal with -- arrrgh!!
 * Hercules: Colossus!
 * She Hulk: Fall back! Fall b--
 * Black Panther: She Hulk! Stark Tower, respond! Please join me inside. I will continue trying to contact our allies. Panther calling Stark Tower. She Hulk, do you read?
 * Radioactive Man: And just what you think you will be doing here, hmm? Come to save the king from his subjects? I think not, American heroes, I think not. Behold my glory! I will melt you all! Not impossible... the Americans... not possible.
 * Black Panther: My guards are infected, and I am locked in here with them, I require assistance. Now! You can override the door lock by triggering the pressure plates located around the palace. That's it! You did it! Now, make your way to me as quickly as possible!


 * Spider-Man: Fury...? Is that you?
 * Fold Nick Fury: (Hologram) It ain't your Aunt May, kid. Though I might just be the only left who's still get a few years on the old girl.
 * Spider-Man: Leave her out of this, Fury... or whatever you are.
 * Fold Nick Fury: (Hologram) Well, that only leaves MJ to pick on them. Or maybe she's already in the Fold by now? You gotta wonder.
 * Spider-Man: The Fold? What are you talking about?
 * Fold Nick Fury: (Hologram) C'mon, Pete, you're smarter than that. We're the future and you know it.


 * Spider-Man: And now it's time that for our minds to join us? Is that it?


 * Spider-Man: Okay, you were have me confused with Ant-Man, Fury. I'm not into that whole "group mind" thing.
 * Fold Nick Fury: (Hologram) Oh, you'll be. Very soon.


 * Cable: Fury...? You survived?
 * Fold Nick Fury: (Hologram) Surviving and thriving. Better'n ever, in fact.


 * Captain America: Fury...?!


 * Captain America: You survived? But... where have you been?


 * Daredevil: Fury...? You're alive!


 * Gambit: Fury? That really you?


 * Deadpool: Fury...? Is that you?
 * Fold Nick Fury: (Hologram) It's me a way. And so much more.
 * Deadpool: Hm. You don't look like you put that on much weight...


 * Thor: Colonel...? Could that be you...?
 * Fold Nick Fury: (Hologram) It sure can, Goldilocks. And it is.


 * Fold Nick Fury: (Hologram) That's because I'm in the Fold now, Thor.


 * Fold Nick Fury: (Hologram) Sure thing, pal. If you want to be.
 * Hulk: Patch Man...?


 * Hulk: You're not Patch Man. You different.


 * Ice Man: Fury...? Is that you?


 * Invisible Woman: Fury...? Is that really you?
 * Fold Nick Fury: (Hologram) Of course. And better than ever.
 * Invisible Woman: Oh, no. They... they got you.
 * Iron Man: Fury... you made it!
 * Mr. Fantastic: Fury...?
 * Penance: Nick...Fury?


 * Cable: Wait... what are you saying?


 * Black Panther: They've broken through our defenses! How...? No! My own people, taken! This has gone too far! Goblin! Venom as well?! How many foes will Fury throw at us? If they don't have the good sense to stay down, we will put them down once again! Thank you. Without your aid, I shudder to think what would have become of my homeland. Thank you all, very much, You saved my life and secured--- Now... what should we do with these two?
 * Captain America: The fall of Stark Tower was just the beginning. Over the past few weeks, the Fold aggressively ramped up its campaign to take over all of humanity. Many of our closest friends and allies remain unaccounted for. We have to assume they've been taken into the Fold.
 * Black Panther: One moment. There is an incoming transmission.
 * She Hulk: Priority one distress call from Stark Tower to all friendly forces. We are under attack!
 * Black Panther: She Hulk! What is happening there?
 * She Hulk: Tower defenses taken down by remote using backdoor access codes. Invading forces compromised of nanite controlled criminals, as well as, infected super heroes - including...
 * Black Panther: She Hulk!
 * She Hulk: Fall back! Fall ba--
 * Black Panther: She Hulk! Stark Tower Respond! She Hulk!
 * Nanite Nick Fury: Hello.
 * Black Panther: Fury?
 * Nanite Nick Fury: Indeed.
 * Black Panther: How did you survive? Unless...
 * Nanite Nick Fury: I have been welcomed. I am part of the Fold.


 * Black Panther: I understand your desire to return to Stark Tower, but there is more to do here today. The war will be won or lost, here. the villains are intent on stealing vibranium. On the far side of the palace there is an entrance to the mines. I will take you there now.
 * Iron Man: It's no coincidence either. The Fold's primary targets are clearly superhumans and thanks to the acquisition of Fury and his decades of intel, they've been able to make serious inroads in expanding the collective's base.
 * Mr. Fantastic: Fold forces were unable to retrieve Venom and Green Goblin after you defeated them. Using the pure nanite samples your team obtained from Prison 42, we've been able to cure these two criminals of their infection.
 * Iron Man: Venom and Goblin both claim a strong desire to help us stop the Fold. They're not the most trustworthy of allies, but frankly we can't afford to turn them away. With the Fold growing exponentially -- it's becoming obvious we can't win a war of attrition against them. Their network seems to be the key... if we could only find a way to disrupt it. Unfortunately, they've clearly been taking steps to make that all but impossible.
 * Captain America: Our best minds are working hard to devise a strategy to defeat the Fold before it becomes unstoppable. We'll let you know if and when we come up with everything solid.
 * Black Panther: My home is yours, friends... everything here is at your disposal. Let us meet at the briefing station when you're ready to act.
 * Iron Man: Analysis of Fold technology retrieved after the liberation of Wakanda has revealed details about the collective and how it's spreading. We're now aware of massive "repeater towers" being erected at secret locations around the globe at an astonishing rate.
 * Mr. Fantastic: These heavily-defended towers are clearly being built to extend the reach of their network. Like the internet their grid is adaptive and seems highly resistant to being completely shut down. So, trying to destroy the towers would be ineffcient use of our time and resources.
 * Iron Man: However, we might still have an ace in the hole. Our nanite stasis signal should still function, if we could only broadcast it on their network. Their encryption makes that impossible to do from the outside, but if we were able to take control one of their repeater towers and send the signal from there, it just might work.
 * Mr. Fantastic: We've identified only one tower that is central enough to reach the entire Fold before they could react.
 * Iron Man: If we were able to infiltrate this enemy base and send the shut down signal, all members of the Fold would be paralyzed, allowing us to round them up and cure them of the nanite infection.
 * Captain America: It sounds simple, but won't be easy. Iceland was one of the first countries to be completely overtaken by the collective. However, this may be our only shot at defeating the Fold. If we fail here, we'll have revealed our only trump card. And they won't give us another chance, once they figure out what we're up to. We'll get as close to the tower as we can without attracting their attention. From there we'll have to fight through their defenses, make our way into the base, and send out that signal.
 * Black Panther: That's as close as we can get you. You must find a way inside so you can send out the stasis signal. Dr. Pym, are those devices anything like the recovered nanite tech you've been studying?
 * Yellowjacket: Yes, T'Challa. Team, this is Hank Pym. This is amplifiers allow them to teleport in. I'd recommend destroying as many of them as you can. It seems like the Fold is using a lot of their teleportation tech here, too. They must have adapted it from the Negative Zone portal design. T'Challa, what's that noise?
 * Black Panther: Long-range proximity warning. We may have company before long, Dr. Pym. Defensive systems, everyone!
 * Yellowjacket: If you block the side vents. I believe the central port will be force open. Looks like you got their attention! I'd say "try not to hurt them." but there's no time for subtely. Take them down!
 * Black Panther: We have multiple intruder alerts here. We may not be able to stay in contact much longer. Hurry to the inner base to get that stasis signal transmitted! The tower base control station is straight ahead of you, but the pad is inactive. try blocking the other paths first! Use that object to block the teleporter. It will relocate their system and let you access other areas. Team, you must find a way to move forward! Things here are getting worse, I -- Hercules! Look out!
 * Yellowjacket: The main path is still blocked! Dammit!
 * Black Panther: We are under attack! They're throwing everything they have at us. You need to -- UNNH! What has been done to these people you're fighting? What is the Fold trying to create?
 * Tinkerer: Hurry! Get him out of here!


 * Tinkerer: We know what you're plotting it won't work. Very well. You could have selected the painless option. Instead you chose... this.
 * Black Panther: This elevator leads directly to the mines. This is another of your plots, Man-Ape?
 * Man-Ape: Indeed, Black Panther. Today, finally, the nation of Wakanda is mine!
 * Black Panther: Not so long as I draw breath, M'Baku!
 * Man-Ape: I am the ruler of Wakanda and her people! No, I am Wakanda's true leader.
 * Black Panther: You are nothing but a man in a foolish costume, M'Baku. Man-Ape is defeated, but we are too late. The vibranium is gone. With Stark Tower compromised, we should alert everyone to meet here so we can discuss our next course of action. Is it working?
 * Iron Man: Reed says it is.
 * Mr. Fantastic: It is.
 * Black Panther: A cure.
 * Mr. Fantastic: Yes.
 * Captain America: I've got a vibranium on where the fold has taken the vibranium.


 * Mr. Fantastic: Not if we get here first.


 * Captain America: We have to find a way to stop it.
 * Iron Man: If we hurry.
 * Captain America: Then let's hurry.
 * Mr. Fantastic: I have developed a modified version version of the Fold's stasis signal. If we can get it uploaded into the repeater, then we should be able to put the entire Collective to sleep until the cure can be administered globally. It appears there is a relatively simple recall sequence to the lights. These nanite units have been enhanced. Everyone stay extra alert as you proceed.
 * Magneto: So you came here to join us? To help us bring humanity to the next stage of evolution!
 * Quicksilver: No, father, I think they have come to stop us.
 * Magneto: That would be a shame, Pietro. What say you, heroes? It is not too late to join us. Become one with the Fold. Then so be it.
 * Mr. Fantastic: Quickly! Give Magneto the cure before the Fold gets control again!
 * Magneto: What has... where am I?
 * Mr. Fantastic: Mr. Lehnsherr, I'm Reed Richards of--
 * Magneto: I know who you are, fool.
 * Mr. Fantastic: You were taken over by the Fold, but we managed to cure you.
 * Magneto: Unacceptable, The Collective must pay for this affront. I will aid you the only way I know how. The brave are the very first to die...
 * Black Panther: Hurry! Send the signal! We cannot hold out much longer! Good work! The signal upload is commencing! wait, something is wrong -- the upload has stopped! Dr. Pym, the Tinkerer must have locked them out somehow!
 * Yellowjacket: Dammit! All right, uh... let me think... Okay, you should be able to override him if you can get to the top of the repeater tower itself. There should be a console up there that you can--
 * Black Panther: They got Bishop! Damn! Do whatever you have to - just get that signal out! Tinkerer will be ready for you. Do not let him stand in your way!
 * Mr. Fantastic: Look there! The Tinkerer! The computer he's interfacing with is the same terminal we need to upload the stress program. Take him down quickly!
 * Yellowjacket: Get the Tinkerer away from that console! Hurry!
 * Tinkerer: You're too late, heroes! The tower is active! The Earth belongs to the Fold! Now join us, as you were always meant to! You have accomplished... nothing! Destroying ... my children will accomplish ... nothing!
 * Mr. Fantastic: Upload the program! Now! I had hoped Tinkerer had the security offline since he was using the system. Quicklt, hack through and upload the stasis program!
 * Black Panther: The upload is starting again! Hold your position. We cannot let anyone stop the signal this time! What are you waitng for?! Send out the stasis signal! Use the control console! Halfway there! Are you all right? Seventy-five percent complete! Hold fast, my friends! Almost there!
 * Yellowjacket: We did it. They're all paralyzed!
 * Black Panther: Reports coming in now, from all over the globe. It looks like the entire collective is down. Great work! We'll need to mobilize S.H.I.E.L.D. to begin rounding up and cuting the nanite-infected population. The tower is secure... more or less. We need to stay here and keep watch until a permanent guard can be stationed. Until then - what the...?
 * Iron Man: Reed? We're getting a strange spike here -
 * Mr. Fantastic: I- hrrmmm. It's coming through the network itself, Converging on the tower.
 * Captain America: An attack?
 * Yellowjacket: Something's channeling strange energy signatures back through the network, converging in your vicinity. Can you investigate? I think--
 * Black Panther: By whom? We broadcast the stasis -
 * Nanite Nick Fury: A valiant effort, we will give you that. Now allow us to show you how you properly defeat an enemy. Cure trick... but did you really think we wouldn't see it coming?
 * Spider-Man: It's over, Fury. You're alone, you can't possibly--
 * Nanite Nick Fury: Oh, I'm not alone. You may have frozen the Fold, but you haven't eliminated it. And with these new nanites I can draw on the entire collective's power. I won't need more than a fraction of it to kill you. Then I'll shut down that annoying signal of yours for good. In another minute It'll all be so clear. You damn throwbacks are lile bacteria compared to us! We offered you everything! Can't you see that?! You really think the world is better off the way we found it? It's a shame you feel you need to fight, The time for fighting is over...
 * Mr. Fantastic: Destroy those pods or we'll have Life Model Decoys to contend with! Everyone stay vigilant! The computer won't withstand many more crawler attacks. No! Fury's trying to infect you! Get that tether off NOW! Break that tether! We can't afford to lose anyone else!
 * Black Panther: -block the projectives! Reflect his attacks back-
 * Nanite Nick Fury: You can't stop us! You're wasting your time! Impossible! We cannot... we... no... not we... I... I... Thank you.
