mandalus :: the city of fates.

Hello my fellow Honored Guests and our triumphant friends and allies ... this is Howard Stark speaking. [Howard looked up from his desk, where he was building a device.] As you all know, thanks to our C'Meni friends, we are down one Serpent. However, a couple of issues still remain -- and for me that's those strange white lines that appeared above our space shield. I'm building some scanners to see if we can find out what exactly these are, but it would be a lot more helpful if we could find a way to safely get some samples.

[He gestured to the device before him.] Hence, what you see here. Now, as soon as I've got this prototype up and running, I'm going out to the bubble and doing some scans. I need some other eyes and help carrying the equipment -- anyone up for a small jaunt out to the country?
