"This can't be good," One of the members of the StarForce, A tall dark-skinned man with a small white beard named Korath  said as they entered the Helion, "Must be another Skrull attack."

"Whatever it is, it's big," Bron-Char, a blue-skinned man with long blond hair and beard said as he made his way towards where the weapons were stationed against the walls

Vers looked over them while she leaned against the wall. Ellie wasn't far from her friend, she was inspecting the weapons next to Vers. At first, she had no intention of using them, after all, her own weapons were far superior and more comfortable for her style of fighting than the ones the Kree warriors used. But Yon-Rogg had pulled her aside before they set out for the Helion, and talked to her about keeping a low profile. She knew it was a wise move and so she accepted to comply and use one of their weapons but she also told him firmly that her weapon would be coming with her even if it is not used and she wasn't going to be wearing the issued uniform of the Kree warriors. After some thought, Yon-Rogg nodded.

Her friend, who was leaning beside her looked at the team, "Has a Skrull ever simmed you?"

"Once, it was deeply disturbing," Korath said as he gave his sword a spin as he looked at Vers.

"Why?"

He moved closer to Vers, "Because I stared into the face of my mortal enemy and the face staring back was my own."

"Maybe if you were more attractive, then it would be less disturbing."

Ellie looked at her friend with disappointment, "Vers," she said as a warning before she looked at the pissed Kree warrior, "He seems attractive to me. He has a certain... appeal."

"Thanks for the compliment, your highness. Your friend thinks she's funny, but I'm not laughing," He gave a slight bow of his head looking pleased before glaring at Vers.

Att-Lass who was next to Vers spoke up, "You never laugh."

"I laugh on the inside. I'm not doing it now."

Bron-Char, who was leaning against a wall of his own pipped in, "It's funny cause objectively speaking, you're quite handsome."

"Well, thank you."

Vers looked between Ellie and the blue warrior, feeling betrayed. Ellie gave her a small shrug with a wink before turning her attention to Yon-Rogg who entered the QuadHelion at that exact moment.

"Listen up, team. Knock it off," He moved to the cockpit and everyone followed, forming a circle around him as he made a hologram, "Prepare for a search and rescue of our spy, Soh-Larr." The hologram changed to display the said spy, "The Skrulls have invaded yet another border planet. This time, Torfa. Soh-Larr sent us a warning. The signal was intercepted, and his cover's blown," the hologram showed a Skrull, "The Skrull general, Talos, has sent kill units to find him. Should they reach him before we do, the intelligence he's acquired over three years is as good as theirs. The accusers will bomb a Skrull stronghold here in the south. We slip in, we locate Soh-Larr and we get out, leaving them none the wiser. The Torfan populace. We are not to interfere with them nor them with us. Nothing compromises the security of our mission. Proceed with caution. Follow protocol before extracting him."
