[ In this video is an examination table. On the examination video is something that might have been once Candy Deconnick. The green skin gives it away that it isn't her, but instead a Skrull. There are instruments around, and the lights are bright. There are some computers off to the far sides, but the screens aren't accessible at the moment. On the bottom right portion of the screen Tony pops up ala "picture in picture", and he points to the much larger frame. ]

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a Skrull. I know Jen spoke a little bit about it the other day, but I think it's important that everyone gets a good look at what they are after you kill them. Skrulls have an interesting part about their biology that they shape-shift, as I'm sure most of you have been informed. [ He stops gesturing now. ]

Skrulls are dangerous, period. I've had a little time with the body so far, but it's looking like they're the type that people from my world are most familiar with. [ He doesn't say it, but undetectable is what he's going for. ]

I'm in the Avengers Mansion. If you want a closer look, you're welcome to it. [ A pregnant pause. A very pregnant pause, and he finally speaks again. ] Anyone who wants a closer look is free to come down, but iIf you try and take it, or destroy it though, I wouldn't recommend trying. [ If you're a skrull..... 8| ] This is something I want everyone to see, whether through this, or in person. I'd be happy to give the knowledge we do have in the Skrull race.

If you have a knack with biology or scientific principles, I can also spread some of the data we do have. Or you can take a closer look and gather some of your own.

Ah, yes. So you are 'Mr. Stark.'.

Any data you have and time with the body would both be useful.

I'll need directions.

The one and only. We're at 809 Fifth avenue. The area's pretty easy to navigate.

I know it.

Is now a good time?

Yes, that's perfectly fine. Just head on over when you can.

On my way.

If you could Mr. Holmes, please bring back a copy of that data and your findings with you. I'd like to have a look at it myself.

Of course.

I intend to make the majority of them public.

Something I agree with. The more information out there the easier it will be to eventually track down these creatures. I just want to make sure I have all the available data and more importantly your observations. Hopefully we can use some of the technology we have here at Rossum to find some way to counter them.

I'll stop by the lab as soon as I'm done at the mansion.

You'll understand that this is likely to take priority from my other work for the time being, so I expect to be kept updated.

Mr. Holmes if you weren't already making this your highest priority I would have insisted on it. This is a threat to us all and business can take a back seat until it's resolved. If there's something you need even at Mr. Stark's let me know. I'll have it made available to you immediately.

I agree completely.

If I am in need of anything, I'll forward it. Otherwise expect me later.

I'll be busy seeing what departments I can get working on this while I wait. I'm also going to have security check up and make sure no one has been sick, or absent recently. Might not lead to anything, but it will help everyone here feel better at least.

Yes.

[There's a slight uncomfortable pause.]

My - ah - flatmate, has returned. Unfortunately you understand the timing is... suspicious. If your team does manage a method of detection... [He trails off.]

I understand. I hope it's just a case of bad timing and nothing more, but if we do find a way to detect them you'll be one of the first to know.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

And if the worst case has happened we will find him and bring him back safe. I promise that.

In the worst case he never returned at all, and is dead in my universe. [Bluntly and dispassionately. Or at least his best false dispassion.]

Being alive here in any capacity is better.

Everything I'm hearing so far seems to indicate they need the original person here to able to imitate them so we know for sure he's alive.

We can only hope that is indeed the case.

If he was copied before he was ported out...
