Email To: The Avengers; Sharon Carter; Nick Fury From: Captain America [captainamerica@avengers.gov] Subject: Carol Danvers Date: November 14, 2009 (sent early in the morning, a few hours after this event.)
If you were at the Avengers Mansion, yesterday evening, I'm sure you're well aware of what occurred. If for some reason, you were not, then the facts as we understand them are these: At 12:34 pm, the doctors at the SHIELD base where Carol was being treated, reported that her vital signs had dropped. Doctors rushed into her room to find that Carol had awoken from her coma and as the doctors attempted to save her, she was reported as telling people to 'Get away'.
Carol then violently took on a flaming form, very similar to the one exhibited by the Fantastic Four's Johnny Storm. The machines monitoring her body captured highly erratic readings. She left the base by flying, crashing straight through the ceiling, causing substantial injuries to several agents and damage to the base. Carol then arrived at the Avengers Mansion, spanning the distance between here and the SHIELD base in a matter of seconds, making the announcement, 'Hear me. The being you once knew as Carol Danvers is no more. Only Binary remains.'
Carol then fly straight up into the sky, passing through the Earth's atmosphere; radar has now lost track of her location.
From these events, we have reason to believe that an entity, referring to itself as 'Binary', has possessed the body of Carol Danvers. The nature and motives of this entity is not yet known.
There will be a meeting at 10:00 this morning, which I expect all of you to attend, where General Fury will play back the video taken of Carol's transformation, as well as the footage from the Mansion's outdoor security cameras. The implications of this event shall be discussed. Information is still being processed, and we hope things will become clearer by the time of the meeting. Also in attendance will be Reed Richards - General Fury has requested him to share his expertise, in conjunction with Bruce Banner, to help, us further understand what happened to Carol.
This information remains highly classified, not to be discussed with those who are not Avengers or have the proper SHIELD clearance. Family and friends of Carol Danvers will be contacted by SHIELD, and you may discuss the basics with them, but no specific details, until further notice. The press has been notified with an official release to alleviate fears and stem the potential of a city-wide panic.
