THIS WEEK ON AVENGERS ASSEMBLED

[aa_admin]

LOCAL & WORLD NEWS

• While the Avengers vs. Loki news item cycled pretty fast off of the 24/7 news cycle, there remains heightened interested in Avenger activities.
• There are a few mutterings in Germany regarding the Stuttgart attack, but nothing firm has come forward yet.
• Loki otherwise made of Teflon, the weasely little shit.

WATCHERS

• Nearly all of the SHIELD agents have been released, but a handful remain under Schmidt's control. One was killed, ostensibly in retaliation for Thor's actions. They still have Selvig.
• SHIELD HQ is mostly a skeleton crew of HYDRA agents. Phase 2 and Tesseract-related projects are their main interests.
• Janet has dropped tracking devices on items likely to be shipped out.
• Amora will be questioning underlings to see if anyone knows where it is all going.
• Tony and Bruce have Stark Industries satellites tuned to Tesseract frequencies.
• Thor will be taking Stark's files on Asgardian biology to Schmidt, at which point Schmidt is to vacate SHIELD and allow it to return to the control of Fury, et al.
• The Avengers will figure out where Schmidt is hiding his new toys and then go and TAKE THEM BACK and PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE.

WSC

• Clint and Nat returned from Russia with contacts and information on Loki's new friends amidst Russia's rich and powerful.
• Rhodes dropped by with information that a SHIELD asset is being used as leverage on his father, who otherwise seems ... pretty non-descript. AVENGERS ... INVESTIGATE.

A PROBLEM LIKE AMORA

• Amora and Steve had a lovely date. We will be testing to see how far she can be trusted: just how much less than we can throw her, etc.

THE BLIGHT

• Sif has revealed that the debris found outside of Sleepy Hollow contain the same runes and structure she sees while teleporting to Midgard.
• Sif's sword activated a holographic projection of a star-rune being chased by another rune. A riddle!
• Vision's instruments suffered severe interference while Sif's sword touched the debris. Vision was not able to determine what caused the interference.

Scene ideas:
* Take a trip to China.
* Poke at the spaceship.
* There are more Chitauri weapons out there!

Updates: If you have anything to go in next week's update, or have any questions about this update, poke me on Stark!

TO: Avengers
FROM: Stark
SUBJECT: China
ATTACHMENTS: rhodes.zip, jarvis-wei.zip

Rhodes came by to let me know that a SHIELD asset attached to China's military intelligence recently came to his attention after dropping off record during the SHIELD / HYDRA changeover.

Someone, and he suspects it's HYDRA, captured and are using this SHIELD guy -- Mo-Yi Wei -- as leverage on his father, Gao. Wei Senior looks so fantastically boring on paper that it's suspicious in light of his family: son's connections in mil int., daughter's marriage to one of Shanghai's richest and dirtiest.

Rhodes gave us clearance to go in and pull his buddy's bacon from the fire, but his dad might be the more interesting target if HYDRA wants a handle on him. Even if he's not our WSC guy, there might know who it is.

Let me know and I'll get you on a plane. It looks like something's going down this Thursday according to the itinerary in Wao Senior's file.

OOC: Loki's gonna throwdown ("set up for violence and drama") on Thursday evening (our time; Friday on that side of the world). If you want in, plop your times down at http://whenisgood.net/china. You are free to head to china and handwave poking around. If you have questions, poke Loki. I'm just organizing.
