I see the bad moon a-rising.
Characters: Nick
Setting: Nick's office, late morning, after this post.
Content: Nick Fury, cursing
Summary: Nick receives a disturbing video from space. Truly, this is just one of those days.
What a completely fucked up night. And now it was a completely fucked up morning. Fury had barely reached his office, hardly sat down in his chair, just took a sip of badly needed coffee- when he received the message. An email with a video attached, a day old, transmitted from the Horizon satellite, a space station sent up from the earth for learning purposes a decade ago. Nick rested his chin in his hands and began to watch, not sure what to expect. He didn't expect this.
The video showed a bloodied woman, British by the sound of her voice, sobbing in front of the earth-side transmission camera. The blindingly surgical white wall behind her was spattered with streaks of blood. He could hardly understand her words through her sobbing and the sounds of screams and guttural roars somewhere off screen. "They attacked yesterday, they're killing everybody, oh my god, I can't-" the woman's cries were cut off as something jerked her away from the camera. There was a strangled scream and the lens was splattered with gore before the transmission cut to static. It could've been a scene from a campy horror movie, but it was real, and it had happened.
Fuck. Nick closed the video and pressed his fingertips to his eyes. Another crisis. After a few long moments he picked up a phone and began making calls. This would have to be handled.
