[this starts off as text because there is a keyboard and Harry knows how to type.]

Right, I've read the pamphlets near that blasted machine, but can someone please explain to me why I was chosen? I'm hardly a hero, you'll want someone more along the Doctor's lines th

[the text switches off, as Harry accidentally manages to nudge it to video. you get a close-up of Harry, looking down at they keyboard and typing in a decidedly hunt-and-peck manner before he notices that the camera is on.]

Oh! Why hello there...I didn't know they made cameras this small. [a pause while he stares at the camera-then smiles slightly.] Anyway chaps, my name's Harry Sullivan, formerly of the Royal Navy now working with UNIT. I don't suppose any of you have seen a man called Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart around here, have you?

Well, considering that I don't know who you are, your secret's safe with me.

Pleasure to meet you, Spider-Man.

So you seem to be adjusting to this whole shindig pretty well. What, do they train for interdimensional kidnapping scenarios in the Royal Navy of the '80s? [Beat.] Or maybe I should be asking about this alphabet soup organization of yours.

The United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. Basically, we deal with the strange and unexplained back home-which usually turns out to be an alien monster of some sort.

Oh, so kinda like SWORD back home. [Beat.] Don't feel bad. Not every secret organization can have a cool acronym. Someone's gotta be the control group, right?

[clammedup]

Pardon me for asking, but what's SWORD?

[incywincyhero]

Sentient World something something Department, I think. Alien defense agency -- against, not of. They're not the intergalactic SPCA.

[clammedup]

The acronym's close enough for me to understand the organization, at least.

Yeah, I've never actually met 'em, but I've teamed up with people who've teamed up, etcetera. Like six degrees of Kevin Bacon, and all tha -- you don't know who Kevin Bacon is, nevermind.

[clammedup]

I'm afraid you're right. I don't know who Kevin Bacon is.

[incywincyhero]

Eh, it's not your fault you're a time traveller. It wasn't that good a quip, anyway.

[clammedup]

Nonsense. I'm sure it was, it just was unfortunately wasted on me.

[He laughs.] Hey, if you see a guy show up here, name of Steve Rogers? Remind me and I'll introduce you. 'Cause boy, you two in the same room together...

[It would be the politest of polite conversations.]

I'll keep that in mind-if he arrives, shall I tell him Spider-Man sent me?
