SKYE AND Phil walked down the halls of SHIELD HQ.

"It's too unfortunate that we could not get any other intel," Phil said, "I just wonder what they were using it for,"

"What worries me most is the file, did you get a good look at it?" Skye asked.

"Let's talk," Phil said.

Phil opened a door to his left and he and Skye entered a debriefing room where May, Lance, Bobbi and Leo were waiting for them.

"I'm sure you've all been updated on the results of Skye's mission," Phil said, "I just went through the dossier and it as evident as the seal on the document; the American government authorised this,"

"Isn't it Amerisan?" Leo asked.

"Oh, right, sorry; Amerisian," Phil said.

"What exactly did they authorize?" May asked.

"Secret experiments on an energy source found on the East Coast of Africa –,"

"Afrisia," Leo corrected.

"Afrisia," Phil said with a sigh, "This merging worlds crap is confusing,"

"Tell me about it," Skye said.

"What's the energy source?" Bobbi asked.

"The document calls it the Star Ball, and it was found by a group called the Tendril," Phil said, "Do we have it in our archives?"

"No," Skye said.

"We'll just have to assume they're the hostiles you came across in the building," Phil said.

"Did you find anything else other than the armour?" Bobbi asked.

"Just that and this file," Phil said.

"We need to get on the field," Skye said, "What's the address on the dossier?"

"It was commissioned by SecDef, but we shouldn't do anything first," Phil said.

"Why?" Skye asked.

"This is a little fishy to me," Phil said, "AIM's computers led us to this information too easily,"

"What do you mean?" Skye asked.

"Just think about it; MODOK was set to delete everything in the archives. If so, why leave the one location that would allow us to find a intel as sensitive as this?" Phil asked.

"Maybe they were just sloppy," Skye said.

"No, this doesn't make sense," Phil said.

"What do you want us to do then?" May asked.

"Have Mac's team look at the armour we picked up and wait for further orders," Phil said.

"And what about you?" Skye asked.

"I'm gonna do some digging around and investigate SecDef before we continue on," Phil said.

Phil left the room.

ICHIGO, NEL, Hiyori, Dondochakka, Pesche and Shinji walked down a smaller hallway in a Las Noches building.

"It's kinda odd that it's this calm around here," Shinji said.

"Get in line, wanted more action," Hiyori said.

"Careful what you wish for or you might get a super tough Arrancar that'd kill us all," Ichigo said.

"Better than hanging around Cockroach and Polka-Dots over here," Hiyori said, pointing at Pesche and Dondochakka behind her.

"I'm not a crockroach!" Pesche yelled.
