Operation: Media Frenzy complete.

Agent Morse and I have incorporated numerous media messages on both coasts, attributing attacks (Thor might not have meant it, but it still caused significant damage) to weird weather patterns. Climate change is helpful for once.

We've also found an expert willing to go on TV and speak about the magnetic waves affecting people as a result of sun flares. This should cover why people are getting random memories. Although it's strongest between those aware of the parallel universes, there has been an increase in hospital visits with fugue-like symptoms. Hopefully this answers all of that, and people will ignore anything in the future. If not, we have a few other options we can use.

Some pieces I need:

1) A location. I have a wonderful couch. It does not do well for Agent Morse's reputation to continue to sleep on it when we have to work.

2) Equipment. Multiple cell phones and computers are fine between the two of us, but this lack of tech is disturbing.

3) Volcanoes. Do we know that these are a result of cosmic interference or is this natural weather?

Any answer would be appreciated.

Fury.

	1) There are buildings we own through a shell company in all of the boroughs. They were established as safehouses a while back, but haven't been used. Where would you like to set up? The Village? Midtown? The Bronx? 2) I'll check the invoices and see what the hold up is. Hope that helps! PP (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I don't need a building. We're small, and I prefer it that way. I'm not interested in repeating the same mistakes from the past. A space in the village should be sufficient. Enough odd hours are held there, no one would be suspicious. And I appreciate you looking into it. I don't mind buying burner equipment, but I'm starting to run out of places to go.

Eventually you will need a building. Or at least a whole floor. Storage. Training space. Weapons depot. Don't get modest on me, Nick.

Village it is. I'll write up a bogus lease. By the way, your tenant alias will be Mr. Nicolas Lieberman. Keys will be in mailbox #310 along with the lease. Move in will be available....now.

Don't worry about it. I'll have you all set up by the end of the week.

Damn, I missed how thorough you were.

I think that sounds like a plan with the diversion tactics to explain stuff. Because if it gets out that a wizard caused any of this, the amount of weird might cause mass brain implosion and a media shit storm.

1. Pep's the best person for this.

2. I know you're working with a skeleton crew, but the hold up is that I suggest getting Shuri involved. She can upgrade some of the old Avengers equipment that Pepper and I have been compiling. It's a long list for you to look at before we go dumping it off anywhere. I split things down the middle, so Steve's got access to the other half of what he might need for the Avengers going forward.

Also? Since it looks like the universe has sucked up some people again, I'll step up and help out with the black hat stuff. I make it a point to get nosy in my free time anyway.

3. Good question. Don't know. Not a volcanologist. We'd have to ask Strange about that, but now that you mention it? This is a long list, too. It's kinda weird that it's all at once.

What we do know? That's not Thor. Definitely.

T.S.

1. That's why I included her.

2. I'll go and take a look today. I haven't spoken to Shuri yet, so an introduction would be appreciated. ~~Bobbi~~ Agent Morse and I can take a look at the equipment.

And interesting re: the universe. I was wondering about that, but I've learned to ignore the uniqueness of this world.

3. I'll start talking to a few people. Get information. Might not be Thor, but could be someone else.

I can intro you to Shuri. As far as upgrades, she's got one hell of a unobtrusive comm system she talked about before, that I think would be great for everyone to use, if she's ok with that.

I really don't want to shoulder tap Strange about the volcano thing. It's already going to be awkward after that last dream I had. If you want to know, you're going to have to ask him yourself. We've been doing a dayglo death glare at each other since Day 1 of this mess in our world.

Speaking of which, our world's looking like half the planet is a volcanic eruption. Maybe it's Vulcan, or Hephaestus, or whatever the hell other pissed off volcano god that might've come from outer space.

Anyway, here's the supply list. You and Agent Morse can look it over. It's mostly non-lethal. Mostly. I mean, as far as you can be with a guy that used to make weapons for a living, and ex-assassins, and...you get the hint. It's mostly the basics. Guns, ammo, tactical gear, non-lethal weapons. Some temporary and non-damaging sonic brain scramblers. You know. Fun stuff.

Mark off what you don't want and once Pep's got you set up, we'll work on discreetly shipping it over so you can get started.
