Manhattan, NY - The latest reports from the FBI of a terrorist attack are now due to what zoologists are calling "heavily mutated animals," estimated to be sixty feet long.

The National Guard was unsuccessful at stopping the animal responsible for the attack on the Red Hook Waterfront. Despite efforts, it is currently nearing the Brooklyn Bridge. Reports state that the other two animals are also moving North, although one of them has yet to leave the water. The other was briefly on Governors Island, resulting in structural damage.

Additional search and rescue services are being called in from surrounding counties. Anyone near the waterfronts of Brooklyn Heights, Lower Manhattan, Tribeca, and Jersey City are encouraged to heed local law enforcement warnings and evacuate further inland along designated safety routes. If unable to evacuate, the FBI recommends taking shelter in basement areas or the interiors of buildings, away from any windows or exterior walls.

We are closely monitoring this story and will update when provided with new information.

Ross sucked it up and called for the Avengers, right after a hairy monster ate almost half of a National Guard unit.

We need three groups, with at least one heavy hitter in each team. Everyone else who can't power punch monsters can help with diversions or rescue ops. Monsters need stopped STAT. If you drop yours, tell us on the comm channel and go backup another team ASAP.

1. Team One: Anyone not afraid of getting wet, head to Pier 25. That's close to the Tower. Besides people in air-tight armor, do we have anyone with a super special surprise talent, like breathing underwater?


2. Team Two: Anyone used to fighting on foot needs to go to Battery Park. For those in the Tower, take the Quinjet on the rooftop and fly there. It needs stopped before it gets into the city.


3. Team Three: We need volunteers who can fly or fast travel to get to the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge. That's over on SHIELD's side and where the biggest mess is right now.

Let me know which team you're on. If it gets really bad, I can activate E.D.I.T.H. to help out.

Dr. Palmer's at Metro General. Take any wounded teammates there, and she'll admit and treat them.
