Re: [Avengers Comm Line; All over Manhattan.] Glad to have you. [Then with a tone shift, indicating he's speaking to everyone. Accompanied by a beautiful backdrop of heavy breathing and inhumane growling.] The National Guard is disseminating from Midtown. They have reached the Upper West Side, but I haven't seen them south of Chelsea, and there's no sign of them in Hell's Kitchen yet. Civilians are to be rerouted, and escorted, if possible, toward Midtown—just south of the...uh, big park, where there's better protection. Eradication of the Marauders is secondary to saving lives. [A grunt and a hard, dull sound of metal on bone.] That said, if the Marauders are left to run free, we'll have more and more lives to save. The ships seem to be coming with less frequency, but with no idea of their numbers, we have to assume this is going to last... a good while.
