"Nick Fury was murdered in cold blood." rained the commanding voice of Alexander Pierce towards the World Security Council. "To any reasonable person, that would make him a martyr, not a traitor."
"You know what makes him a traitor?" Councilman Rockwell interjected from his holographic post. "Hiring a mercenary to hijack his own ship."
"Nick Fury used your friendship to coerce this council into delaying Project Insight." Councilman Singh reposed from his post. "A project he knew would expose his own illegal operations."

"The drive has a Level Six homing program," Natasha advised as they entered and selected a Macbook Pro to "explore it's capabilities". "So as soon as we boot up, SHIELD will know exactly where we are."
"How long will that be?" Ella questioned the Black Widow, who furiously tapped away on the keyboard.
"About... nine minutes from... now." Natasha bluntly admitted, as she slid the drive into the computer, as Ella turned back to eye how crazy she must sound.
Natasha clicked the desktop button and then to the flash drive, which opened another window to the Lemurian Star System logs.
