Plans

[aa_vance]

Here is what was decided at the IC meeting today:

The Avengers are going to continue to keep Loki locked up at the old Stark weapons-testing facility in the middle of nowhere. Stark is going to work on upgrading the containment facilities. Loki-guarding is being handled primarily by Asgardians (Sif, Fandral) and a small number of others on a rotating basis.  

Everyone else is getting put on standby to go after Schmidt in multiple locations as soon as they have info from the bugs. The primary goal is to destroy the weapons, capturing Schmidt or his agents is secondary. Stark is working on compiling and disseminating info about how best to break the weapons without blowing yourself up. They expect heavy resistance to any move against Schmidt/his facilities.

They are also going to do thorough sweeps of SHIELD to see what Schmidt took/left behind after the handover.

Stark is also going to try to get in touch with Amora and see what her deal is.

Did I forget anything?

Hits from Russia: E-mail.

From: Barton

Hey, looks like we got a hit back from the time we spent in Russia. Not a good hit, though. Seems someone linked us to Avengers, and you can be sure we were careful not to flaunt that link in the cold wastelands. Romanoff is looking into it. We’ll keep you updated.

From Russia with Paranoia:

One of the contacts that Natasha and Clint made while they were in Russia reaches out to them on Sunday evening via secure means: encrypted email, perhaps; secure phone message.

They want to know what the Avengers really had to do with what happened in China. Did the Avengers kill Wei?

SHIELD HQ, 11:59 PM 9-30-2012

* All upper floors abandoned entirely of personnel. Schmidt redecorated Fury's office with red banners and slept in his bed. Sometimes with other people. The sheets have been laundered.
Lower levels devoid of all but the most basic lab equipment. Computers, file cabinets, servers, experiments, weapons, phase 2 – almost all of it is gone. Experimental material not deemed useful was probably left behind. Everything regarding the tesseract and asgardian tech was taken, including HYDRA weapons, research and data.

* Remaining security and data storage systems are fried, including those involved in CCTV surveillance. Some more minor things like door access histories were probably overlooked, contact me if they would dig this deep and I will give you some things.

* The airlock to Amora's cell opens on a timer. She is free.

* The remaining green eyes are locked together in another cell. They appear to be unharmed. Selvig is among them.

SHIELD HELICARRIER, 11:59 PM 9-30-2012

* Two (2) F-35B Lightning II aircraft are missing from the flight deck. A couple of other planes look like they've been used for target practice by something that has blown off or vanished massive pieces of them.

* Aside from clearing out personnel, not a lot was done here. CCTV surveillance remains. In this way it might be discovered that

* There are five substantial bombs on the helicarrier. One in the control room, four attached to the hull beneath the surface.

SHIELD HELICARRIER, 12:00 AM 10-01-2012

* Timers on the bombs activate, all set to 5 minutes.

OTHER STUFF

* Schmidt and his crates are on a small, half-frozen island within Svalbard, north of Norway. Satellite imaging shows an abandoned mining town on one side of the island and ancient nordic ruins on the other, including a castle. The terrain is mountainous and there are polar bears because fuck yeah, polar bears.

* Satellite imaging also shows modified flak guns mounted around the island. Modified how? COME AND SEE.

* Beyond vehicular movement and the aforementioned artillery there is very little to see at the surface.

QUESTIONS?

* Comment.
