  1. [May 20, 2166]
  2. [Archives Room]
  3. [Global Union of Divisions Headquarters]
  4. [Antarctica]
  5. [Open Territory - G.U.D.]
  6.  
  7. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  8.  
  9. Within the stretches of the G.U.D.'s main base of operations lies its Archives Room, a space dedicated to the, as its namesake implies, archival of various files, documents, and other important information that the Global Union of Divisions concerns itself with.
  10.  
  11. On this quiet day, Dr. Anna Maximoff is joined by two of her colleagues: Eobard Thawne and his niece Daisy Zaibo, one of the C.D.F. Marines' newest recruits following her stellar service in the G.U.D.'s Chinese branch of its security services and a very outspoken Post-Human supporter, mostly due to being one herself.
  12.  
  13.  
  14. (Daisy Zaibo): My god, do I HAVE TO look through all of this crap from Mars, uncle Flash?
  15.  
  16. (Eobard Thawne): Daisy, I keep telling you not to call me not!
  17.  
  18. (Daisy Zaibo): Well it's not exactly inaccurate!
  19.  
  20.  
  21. Dr. Maximoff can't help but chuckle at this exchange between uncle and niece, two powerful and friendly Post-Human colleagues of hers. Professor Thawne isn't amused by his former teacher's enjoyment of the scene, but Daisy looks on, quite appreciative of the approval of a major role model for her.
  22.  
  23.  
  24. (Eobard Thawne): Anna, you're not helping my case, here.
  25.  
  26. (Dr. Maximoff): Hey, it's not like you make it harder to justify that name, what with running around in that yellow getup and doing heroic deeds.
  27.  
  28. (Daisy Zaibo): Come on, uncle....... I'm just teasing.
  29.  
  30. (Eobard Thawne): Okay, okay, I'll TRY to lighten up. Let's see what we got now, eh?
  31.  
  32.  
  33. Professor Thawne activates the holographic display on the table. However, nothing seems to be showing up until Daisy notices that she's sitting on the projector and promptly slides off. With the hologram now displaying in full, the two scientists and their energetic young ward and self-proclaimed "bodyguard" look through the data.
  34.  
  35. The first piece of information to show up is a biography compiled on the Kree remnant known as Ronan the Accuser, along with an audio log of an interview conducted with him and a picture of him in his cell; the man is posed in a meditative stance not unlike that seen with Buddhist monks.
  36.  
  37.  
  38. (Daisy Zaibo): So this guy's a surviving alien from Mars?
  39.  
  40. (Dr. Maximoff): Technically, yes, but he's hardly much of an alien in biological terms. It says here that his DNA, and thus the Kree as a whole, is a near perfect match with Humans, with the difference mainly only being in genetic sequences related to skin tone and physical stature.
  41.  
  42. (Eobard Thawne): Which would support suspicions that the basic DNA template of Humanity is part of some sort of life cycle that extends beyond Earth's borders.
  43.  
  44. (Daisy Zaibo): Couldn't it just be a coincidence?
  45.  
  46. (Dr. Maximoff): Perhaps, but it also turns out that their technological and societal development advanced in a similar fashion to our own, albeit with the details being different.
  47.  
  48. (Eobard Thawne): That, and they too based a lot of their most recent technological developments on those of an ancient civilization that came before theirs, Atlantis in our case, and the Dark Ones in theirs.
  49.  
  50. (Daisy Zaibo): Dark Ones?
  51.  
  52.  
  53. The holographic display shifts to a simulated rendering of what a Dark One would look like; its lanky, tall, hairless body and black skin are offset by a lack of a visible mouth, nose, ears, or genitals. Upon showing up, Daisy blasts concussive waves at the projector, temporarily short circuiting it. This gives Eobard and Anna quite a shock, whilst the young C.D.F. Marine recruit looks on, embarrassed to have used her powers in such a reactive manner.
  54.  
  55.  
  56. (Daisy Zaibo): SORRY! It's just that that thing made me jump, and well........
  57.  
  58. (Eobard Thawne): Daisy, we need to work on suppressing your powers for non-militant tasks.
  59.  
  60. (Dr. Maximoff): Getting back to these "Dark Ones"...... the Kree themselves didn't know too much about these things, just that they had immense psychic powers and a more alien way of life than either they or we could understand at this point. However, the Kree did manage to learn some manufacturing techniques from what little they could translate from ancient texts, leading to advancements that allowed mass production of large scale war technology on a level that easily dwarfs our own capacity.
  61.  
  62. (Daisy Zaibo): Kinda scary, thinking about how powerful the full might of a Kree military could be. And they derived mass production capabilities from these Dark Ones?
  63.  
  64. (Dr. Maximoff): Seems so. Though Ronan did say in his interview that our Guardian Sentinels would've been more than a match for the Kree's High Armada. So that's always a positive, knowing that we have the tech to equal ancient aliens.
  65.

  76. (Dr. Maximoff): [RECORDING] "--our Guardian Sentinels would've been more than a match for--"
  77.  
  78.  
  79. The audio feed cuts out, prompting the Loyalist Warrior listening in to throw its headphones onto the table. Within the confines of this secret location that serves as the primary meeting point for the high-ranking members of this new terrorist alliance, the Loyalists have been listening in on the G.U.D.'s operations for the past few days for the purposes of their leaders' ultimate goal.
  80.  
  81. Bloody Mary, leader of the Order of Homo Novus, steps out from a large shadow behind the Warrior and leans over the busted audio transceiver.
  82.  
  83.  
  84. (Mary Stoker): Well?
  85.  
  86. (Loyalist Warrior): This confirms the news we received from our scouts on the red planet.
  87.  
  88. (Mary Stoker): Excellent. Keep me and the others posted. Oh, and one more thing.
  89.  
  90. (Loyalist Warrior): Yes?
  91.  
  92. (Mary Stoker): Inform the inner circle that I'm calling a meeting. We're bringing him into the fold.
