Dialogue[]
Caption: As Scytalis falls, the blast doors of the safe room open to reveal Carina and the Avengers, a clearly captive audience to the assassins “performance”.
Caption: Scytalis struggles to stand, defeated and unable to carry on. Despite this loss, a cruel sneer crawls across her face…
Carina: Give it up Natasha! You’ve lost, and there’s nowhere for you to run. Your plot’s failed. Pack it in.
Black Widow (Scytalis): You’re all fools. You think this minor setback is a defeat? You don’t know who’s coming for you. You don’t understand the power of Ouroboros.
Black Widow (Scytalis): You’ve forced my hand, and now, the evil eye of our glorious leader Glykhan is fixed squarely on you and your silly friends.
Black Widow (Scytalis): His time in the shadows is at an end, and with it, your reign ends as well.
Civil Warrior: Everyone get back!
Caption: Civil Warrior throws himself between Scytalis and the crowd huddled around the safe room doors.
Black Widow (Scytalis): Sic semper tyrannis.
Caption: With a flick of her wrists, Scytalis activates her final failsafe, destroying herself and filling the safe room with a tremendous explosion.
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Caption: As the smoke clears, everyone surveys the unbelievable damage inflicted by Scytalis’s self-destruct…
Caption: ...and marvels at Civil Warriors’ protective field that sprung up just in time to stop the Avengers from terminally disbanding.
Carina: Thanks for save there CW. Looks like Ouroboros are real “take no prisoner” types, in more ways than one…
Civil Warrior: Happy to help. Though I didn’t like the sound of “glorious leader Glykhan”. Nice to know the snake has a head though, gives us something to cut off.
Carina: Well, for now we should get this cleaned up and get back to-
Caption: Klaxons blair and the moody basement lighting switches to an alarming blue and red strobe. A loudspeaker screams out-
Caption: *Oblivion Protocol initiated. Self-destruct activated. Sealing all exits.*
Carina: Awwww c’mon! Can’t an Elder catch a break?!

Captain America (Infinity War): I’ve got reports of Avengers attacking Avengers on every floor! What the heck is going on?
Iron Man (Infinity War): Scytalis must have signaled her remaining Adaptoid pals! They’re blocking access to the Arc Reactor core. I need in there if I’m gonna shut this down!
Carina: Alright, you two focus on getting past the Ouroboros Adaptoids. Summoner? You and I are gonna run interference and make an opening for them.
Carina: Everyone else, spread out and help your fellow Avengers! Don’t worry about telling who-from-who, it’ll be easy to spot the imposters.
Iron Man (Infinity War): You coming with us to the core Spangles?
Civil Warrior: Wouldn’t miss it for the world.
Carina: Spangles? Oh I like that. That’s sticking buddy.
Civil Warrior: ...dammit Tony…

Iron Man (Infinity War): Vision! Glad to see a friendly face in this mess. Got that naughty self destruct sorted out?
Caption: *Primary core constraints disabled. Entering overdrive.*
Iron Man (Infinity War): Uh, buddy? I hate to backseat fusion react, but that’s not helping. Overdrive is just gonna speed up the meltdown.
Vision: An excellent observation, for a meat bag. But do not worry, your problems will all be over soon.
Iron Man (Infinity War): Ohhh, you’re one of those Adaptoids Carina was talking about. Good, that means we don’t have to give you any warning shots.
Iron Man (Infinity War): Summoner, blast apart this knock-off synthezoid while I wrestle control of the console.
Vision: Your whole life has been a failure to wrestle control of anything. This time will be no different.
Iron Man (Infinity War): Rude.

Captain America (Infinity War): Wanda! Keep those Adaptoids off my back! The Arc Reactor is crawling with them!
Caption: *With a wave of her hand, the Scarlet Witch hurls a ball of Adaptoids across the reactor room, catching Steve in the collateral damage.*
Captain America (Infinity War): Wanda! Careful with the tossing! You nearly knocked me over the rails!
Caption: *Wanda snarls as she raises her hands up, hurling a flailing wave of both friends and foes at Captain America.*
Captain America (Infinity War): Summoner?! What’s gotten into her? She’s just attacking everyone in the room!
Captain America (Infinity War): ...of course. She’s an imposter, right? One of those Adaptoids Carina mentioned?
Captain America (Infinity War): Look, you gotta take care of her, otherwise I can’t get close enough to shut down the Arc Reactor!
Caption: *Screaming with the rush of arcane power, imposter Wanda spikes an Adaptoid into a fresh wave of Avengers eager to help.*
Captain America (Infinity War): And honestly, I kinda feel bad for the Adaptoids.

Civil Warrior: T’Challa! Excellent timing-
Caption: Carina barely has time to grab Civil Warrior, pulling him out of reach of a vibranium claw swipe.
Carina: Nope! We did this last time, and unlike cats we don’t have 9 lives to make the same mistake twice.
Black Panther: Hssssshhk!
Civil Warrior: Right! Adaptoid imposters. Thanks Carina!
Carina: Summoner, you got this faux paw kitty? CW and I gotta reach that Arc Reactor.
Black Panther: Sccccchhhkkkkssss!
Caption: Carina and Civil Warrior deftly dodge the pouncing Panther as they rush past it, leaving only the Summoner to face down its wrath.
Carina: Thanks buddy!
