RETRIBUTION News 04
S.H.I.E.L.D. Releases Information on Invaders
S.H.I.E.L.D. has released footage of the bugs from the Horizon and a description of their capabilities to educate citizens who have never come into contact with them. They are approximately seven feet tall and seem to be a hybrid of beetles and cockroaches. They possess pincer-jaws and prehensile tails. They have surprising physical strength and also secrete a highly acidic and dangerous saliva. Unlike their brethren on the Horizon, these Bugs are also armed with advance laser weaponry. General Nicholas Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., fielded questions regarding the invaders in a press conference this morning. According to Fury, the Bugs are not capable of shape shifting or teleportation, their Queen produces their organic technology, and that heretofore no government of the world was aware of their sentience. When asked how one could be sure they'd encountered a Bug, Fury replied that, "They'd be kind of [expletive] hard to miss." However, questions have been raised as to how they have, in the last several months, been missed while they entrenched themselves on Earth. Several political commentators have suggested that the U.S. government was not vigilant enough in keeping a close eye on Russia's activities. General Fury's answer to questioning of this nature was concerned with nations' abilities to hide their secret, citing devastation that countries have inflicted upon one another in past wars. Whiles he was willing to answer questions about the Bugs themselves, the General was not forthcoming about information as to why exactly the Bugs felt it necessary to invade the Earth. Details about the Horizon expedition have been kept classified by the government and not released to the public, but now have been demands that all information be shared so that the world can understand exactly what is threatening it.
