Multiverse of Madness

Between keeping track of what's going on at SWORD and helping get things set up at the Lighthouse, I realize that I have missed a lot of comings and goings and should probably make an effort to actually get to know people.

So hi. I'm Monica Rambeau. Captain in the US Air Force. My mother, Maria, founded SWORD.

I have no idea what else to share.

I have two announcements to make:

The first being that as of a couple of weeks ago, Vision and I are officially engaged. We just wanted to enjoy the time as a newly engaged couple to ourselves before letting others know. We do not have a set date, but are looking to get married in October, as we would like to be officially married as soon as possible.

The second announcement ties into this as well, Vision and I are planning to move to New Asgard by the end of the month. We will both still be active around the compound to help, but we wish to have more of a space to ourselves, and Thor has graciously offered to allow us to move.

I would be honored if you would both be my co-maids of honor.

As for the matter of this...other me killing Thanos, I want it known that I stated to Carol that I am not pleased that I was not informed right away, and had to learn second hand. It also hurts me to know that there were also discussions of me getting a handler like I am some sort of child.

I am aware that my powers frighten the governments of the world. However, I am personally tired of constantly worrying about people being afraid of me or not. I would also like to not disclose this information, as personally, as far as I am concerned, no one needs to know that Thanos died at the hands of some other version of me.

Furthermore, I would like to be included in any future conversations related to this matter from the beginning please. I understand that people were afraid of upsetting me, but I can assure you, I am an adult, and am more than capable of handling big news developments such as this.

It should also be said that just because some other version of me decided to apparently go back in time and murder Thanos, it does not mean that I would make the decisions.

I was angry at first, when I found out, I will admit. But now, I think I am more disappointed than anything else. I am, however, willing to discuss it, if there is anything further to discuss.

[The Team who went into space]

You can stop your efforts to find Thanos. He's been confirmed dead.

Full discloser: I've been planning a trip to finally get to the bottom of the Thanos situation. So far, those going consists of Malcolm Reynolds crew, Monica, Valkyrie, and Rogers.

I know there might be others interested in getting to the bottom of this, but it's probably a good idea to keep it small. We'll be doing some salvaging as well to take back pieces to analyze.

Frankly, I know we're all tired of wondering and waiting. If he's out there, I'll find him. And if he's not, we're going to find out what happened.

[Loki]

The Collector expressed an interest in going home. We're taking him along. I have assurance from Nova Corps they'll be looking after him on Knowhere while we're sorting this mess out.

Does anyone else find it suspicious the government didn’t come crashing down our door after the Mind Stone thing?

Planning a trip into the city this weekend. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a break. Anyone want to come with?

[Rhodey]

Any updates from command? I got nothing when I tried to check in. I left a message I’ll be leaving Earth for a short time. I suspected them to be more concerned about that.

[Firefly Crew]

I think it’s time to up the game plan. I’m suspecting Tony’s up to something space related, but he’s been keeping it hush on what it is. I don’t plan on poking around too much, the guy’s been on the edge for the past few weeks.

That said, we need to figure out what happened to Thanos one way or another. That means we’re leaving soon, preferably next week. I’m not sure how long we’ll be gone, but I trust Mail can come up with a timeframe for when we’ll depart.

Just be ready. I’ll brief you and answer any questions you have here.

[Monica]

Have you talked to your mom recently?

I gave Mal the heads up about putting together the next mission. We are probably leaving next week. Do you think you can be ready by then?

[Thor]

Just checking in with you. How are you holding up?

[Avengers]

I agreed to the contract. I read it a few times and the biggest red flag is that they want to call me in if something happens on a galactic level. I generally don't mind that because protecting the United States aligns with protecting Earth.

But, I'm also not going to do anything that will harm anyone down here.

Overall, it seems like a fair deal. As far as we're going to get, anyway.


[Monica]

Just checking in. How are you doing? Also, how would you feel about a trip into space?

[Bruce Wayne]

Hey Kid,

It's been a crazy week. You hanging in there?

[Peter Quill and Mal Reynolds]

You boys have time to talk later this week?

Hey everyone!

We've had quite a bit of a shake up lately in disappearances, as well as some new arrivals.

For those of you that don't know me, my name is Daisy Johnson. I'm a former agent of SHIELD, and I've been helping out here for a few months. Along with Barbara Gordon, I helped form the Mainframe here.

I've got a couple of announcements that will be of interest here:

First, after discussing with Tony after Natasha's most recent disappearance, I've taken over communications for the Avengers' Compound.

Second, I've been working on something for awhile now that I can finally say that I've finished. I'd like to let everyone know about a place called the Lighthouse. For those of you that don't know, it's an old SHIELD bunker that was designed to be a safehouse in case of an apocalyptic event. It was abandoned in the 70s, but my team and I discovered it a few years back, and modernized it. It's a state of the art facility, and the vast majority of it is underground.

The best thing about it - it's almost entirely underground, and the government doesn't know it exists at all. It just looks like an ordinary lighthouse on the outside, with some various houses and outbuildings.

I will be moving there to focus on communications operations primarily, but I am planning on splitting my time between there and the Avengers Compound. I've also spoken to several people already about operating out of there.

We don't want to spread everyone too thin, but I do want to offer it as an additional lab space if anyone wishes to operate out of it. All I ask if you wish to use it, you ask me first, just so I know who's coming and going.

If we absolutely need to, it can be used a living quarters, but for the time being, I'm going to ask that it be used as a workspace only, unless we've worked something out.

Thanks for helping me get everything set up again. I greatly appreciate all of your help. The Lighthouse hadn't been used in a while, so it was definitely great having the extra hands to get everything up and running.

[Babs]

I know you're going to miss having me around as roommate. But don't worry, I'll make sure I visit plenty. And I had a lot of help from Tony making sure that it's 100% wheelchair accessible, so you can come to the Lighthouse any time for work.

Or you know, non-work related is good, too. Especially non-work related.

In fact, we need to do more non-work related things together.

God, it's been forever since I've done this.

Would you like to do something non-work related with me?

Like...say, a date?

Nice place. Kind of prefer Xavier's, it had charm. Grace. Twinkies. Before, you know. Kapow.

But as a place full of super-dudes crammed in like it's Space Camp, solid 8.5 out of ten. I like the whole shiny futuristic vibe.

Supposed to introduce myself. I'm Peter. Sup?

Thank you all for the birthday wishes and the cupcakes and everything. I very much appreciated it.


[Carol]
How's your arm?


[Jimmy & Wanda]
We should get together soon.

Group meeting tonight for anyone who wants to talk about the stones.

Hi.

My name is Monica Rambeau and it was suggested I reach out to talk to you about possibly running some tests.

Recently, I had a few encounters that manipulated my DNA and resulted in me having some new abilities.

Would anyone be able to assist?

Thanks.

Mr. Stark,

My apologies for the damage in the gym. Please let me know the cost of repairs and I will find a way to repay you.

Sincerely,

Captain Monica Rambeau

Well, space was interesting, but it's nice to be back on Earth.

I missed sleeping in my own bed.

[Filtered To Avengers plus Sharon Carter, Jimmy Woo, Monica Rambeau, and Team Hackers]

Hey. So I mentioned to Tony while I was in space that when I got back, I was planning on moving out to the Lighthouse, which is an old S.H.I.E.L.D bunker not too far from here. Back before I went to space, my team and I had taken it over and modernized it when we had a break from dealing with various bullshit. It's really off the grid. It hadn't been used since the seventies before we rediscovered it, and not even Fury knew it existed.

I was thinking that because it's so off the grid, it could come in handy for us, especially if the government's going to keep poking around. It might be nice to have a place that they don't know about.

I also thought it could be used to service as a second base of operations for our group of hackers that we have.

My goal is to maybe have it run like S.H.I.E.L.D, but different. More focused on protecting those displaced by the portal and looking out for them. And if we have to run missions, we can. I know there's several of us pretty experienced with espionage in some way.

Which is why I've included Sharon and Jimmy in this, because as former agents themselves, they might also be interested. And Monica due to her work with S.W.O.R.D.

Anyway, I was planning on checking it out later this week, if anyone would like to go with me to see for themselves. I can still split my time between there and the compound.

And if anything else, it can also be used as an additional living space, if we need it.

[Space Crew]

I'm heading back with Thor and the Statesman. Keep me posted about what's up on Knowhere. I trust Nebula and Rocket know enough to get the information we need from there and you all are less conspicuous than me these days.

[Monica]

I should be back in a couple of days. How's your mom? Are you okay?

Update: We've made it to Xandar and we have an appointment to meet with Nova Prime tomorrow regarding the stone.

We weren't exactly welcome.

There was no sign of Thanos in the wreckage, but Nebula accounted for most of his commanders. Some of the bodies couldn't be identified.

We'll update you when we know more. After this, we're going to see if we can find the Statesman.

Hope things are going well back home. It's good to see Stark and T'Challa expanding things. Maybe it won't be so cramped when we get back.



[Monica]

You holding up?

How's your mom?

Hello.

This is Captain Monica Rambeau. I got the run down on this place and figured I should say hi. Not sure if anyone here even knows me.

Tag dump, please ignore
