so23m01_missionstart Name: Nick Fury Message: Agent, we're facing a new Test Subject variant. That's the bad news on Earth. The news from space is worse. Name: Tony Stark Message: Do I have to guess? How many chances do I get? Name: Maximus the Mad Message: You're wasting time, Fury. While you pose riddles, Thanos himself approaches. Name: Tony Stark Message: Thanos? Busted out of his sweet space-amber prison? That's what I was going to guess as soon as you said "worse." Name: Tony Stark Message: Also: Maximus?! Nick, is there something you're not telling us? Name: Maria Hill Message: He came to us for help-- Name: Maximus the Mad Message: I came to warn you. Thanos has an army of Test Subjects and he is intent on using them to at last conquer Earth. Name: Tony Stark Message: You know this guy's nuts, right? Maybe not a good idea to take strategic advice from him? Name: Nick Fury Message: Just like I don't take it from you. I'm well aware of Maximus' character and history. But his story checks out...so far. Name: Maria Hill Message: Go after the Test Subjects. According to Maximus, Thanos has sent the Black Order as well. We're being invaded, people. This is war. Name: Nick Fury Message: We've already briefed the Inhumans and they are fully on board. Coordinate with them in the field. so23m01_missioncomplete Name: Nick Fury Message: So the Black Order and Nebula claim they're after Maximus because he went back on a deal with them. Thoughts? Name: Agent Coulson Message: It's not impossible. Name: Maria Hill Message: It's also not smart to take Thanos' flunkies as reliable sources of intel. Name: Tony Stark Message: As opposed to, say, Maximus the Mad, who is ethically unimpeachable. Name: Maria Hill Message: Let's hear what he has to say. Maximus? Name: Maximus the Mad Message: I said there was a Test Subject army; there was. I said Thanos and the Black Order were after me; they are. You still think I'm lying, Stark? Name: Tony Stark Message: You know what I think? I think everyone is lying. Name: Agent Coulson Message: Your trust issues are showing. Name: Tony Stark Message: Easy for you to say, Eagle Scout. You don't know the Inhumans like I do. Something's fishy here, and when we find out what it is, you're all going to wish you'd listened to me. so23m01_deploy2complete Name: Thundra Message: Did you want to save any of these? Some are perhaps still useful for research. Name: Agent Coulson Message: We'll take a look, thank you. Name: Thundra Message: Take note, Anthony Stark. One of these days your mouth will run too far and I'll show you why the female is the deadliest of our species. so23m01_deploy2start Name: Tony Stark Message: Thundra, you happen to be the closest super-powered slab of muscle to a Test Subject mob menacing the local civilians. Name: Agent Coulson Message: I think what Mr. Stark means is: Can you please lend the field team a hand? Name: Thundra Message: Of course...there's nothing I love more than combat. so23m01_deploy4complete Name: Tony Stark Message: Boy, when it comes to the smashing, he really is without peer. so23m01_deploy4start Name: Tony Stark Message: Hulk. Name: Hulk Message: What? Name: Tony Stark Message: Smash. Name: Hulk Message: That was only funny once. so23m01_minibossreveal Name: Maria Hill Message: Here's one more part of Maximus' story that we can now verify: Black Dwarf just intercepted a field team. They're going to need immediate backup. Name: Crystal Message: I see him. Name: Maria Hill Message: Then go get him, Crystal. Agent, make sure she's not going in there alone. so23m01_minibosscomplete Name: Maximus the Mad Message: It's...invigorating to draw the attention of the Black Order. However, Black Dwarf lies. Anything Thanos wishes him to say, he says. Name: Tony Stark Message: You're not known for an appreciation of the truth, either. Name: Crystal Message: What is the truth, Maximus? Name: Maximus the Mad Message: As I have said. Thanos hunts me as he hunts all the Inhumans because we protected Thane. Name: Tony Stark Message: Who's we? I don't remember seeing you there. Name: Maria Hill Message: We've made the call, Tony. The mission is to defend against Test Subjects and the Black Order, not interrogate Thanos. Name: Tony Stark Message: I'm multitasking. so23m01_minibossstart Name: Crystal Message: That's far enough. Name: Black Dwarf Message: You protect your family. I understand this. Yet it will do neither of you any good. Maximus must answer for his treachery. Name: Crystal Message: Maximus? What does this have to do with Maximus? Name: Black Dwarf Message: Ah. He has not told you. This I also understand. Pity there will be no chance for you to learn the truth from him. so23m01_minibossstartrepeat Name: Black Dwarf Message: My fight is not with you. Present Maximus! so23m01_minibosslose Name: Black Dwarf Message: Maximus, present yourself! so23m01_miniboss2reveal Name: Agent Coulson Message: Gorgon's out stomping Test Subjects and he just reported running into Supergiant. Name: Tony Stark Message: Agent, bring in a support team before she eats all of our minds. so23m01_miniboss2complete Name: Gorgon Message: I prefer a more straightforward battle. Hard to smash someone who fights with her mind. Name: Tony Stark Message: Well, in times like these, everyone has to be adaptable. Did we see where she went? Name: Tony Stark Message: And do we have Maximus in a shielded location? Supergiant is pretty good at following psychic trails. Name: Maria Hill Message: We've got Professor X hiding him for now, but that won't work forever. so23m01_miniboss2start Name: Supergiant Message: I know Maximus is near. I know you do not wish to protect him. Why then do you stand in my way? Name: Gorgon Message: If you're reading my mind, you already know. so23m01_miniboss2startrepeat Name: Supergiant Message: This is purest idiocy. Would Maximus do the same for you? so23m01_miniboss2lose Name: Supergiant Message: The mind of Maximus stands out...you know you cannot hide from me, don't you? so23m01_bossreveal Name: Tony Stark Message: Nebula has dropped by to give the Black Order a hand. Name: Maria Hill Message: Let's escort her off-planet, shall we? Name: Medusa Message: I will see to it myself. so23m01_bosscomplete Name: Nebula Message: Thanos will have his way, Medusa. He was only after Maximus at first, but if you anger him you too will be targets of his vengeance. Name: Medusa Message: If not for this, for another reason. It makes no difference to me. Name: Nebula Message: Not yet. But it will. Name: Medusa Message: She's gone. Can we track her? She might lead us to Thanos. Name: Agent Coulson Message: Trying...no. She slipped our surveillance. Name: Nick Fury Message: Any sign of Thanos anywhere? Name: Agent Coulson Message: Negative, Boss. We'll keep looking. so23m01_bossstart Name: Nebula Message: Queen of the Inhumans. Thanos sends his regards. Name: Medusa Message: The regard of Thanos is something I avoid. Name: Nebula Message: Turn over your husband's thieving brother, and Thanos will look in another direction. Name: Medusa Message: For a little while, perhaps. Until he has another pretext for invasion. I'd prefer to settle things now. Name: Nebula Message: As you wish. so23m01_bossstartrepeat Name: Nebula Message: A liar, a traitor...and still you protect him. so23m01_bossmidcombat Name: Nebula Message: Maximus entered into an agreement. Now he has gone back on it. He endangers all of you. You will protect him still? so23m01_bosslose Name: Nebula Message: All this will end when you give us Maximus.
