Dialogue[]
Caption: Gentle's vibranium tattoos cease their abnormal activity and he seems to regain some amount of control.
Gentle: I am glad you were here, Summoner. There are not many who could help contain my powers like that. Gentle: Now go find the puppeteer that is pulling the strings of this devious holographic doppelganger.
Okoye: So many big words in a row, careful now or you'll burst that lonely brain cell of yours. Gentle: You are an insult to the grace and dignity of Okoye and the Dora Milaje! You are not worthy to project her image. Caption: The light around Okoye begins to shimmer. Their form shifts as they speak.
Okoye: Which form would you prefer?
Winter Soldier: This one? An outsider saved by Wakanda. That's familiar for you. Or perhaps someone in tune with your mutant nature?
Storm: Better? I'd need some time to mimic the meteorological manipulation but they'd make a darling plaything. Gentle: Bast save us from the wicked madness that has settled here.
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Okoye: I prefer this form for now. Fierce, cunning, and a true warrior. I almost feel bad for what will happen to her. Gentle: What horrible trap do you have set up? Okoye: Trap? No no no. I simply am aware of the inevitable fate of your realm. It will happen to her, it will happen to you, it will happen to them. Caption: Okoye points to a corner of the labs where the smashed lightning has caused a deep shadow.
Caption: Two forms step out from the darkness, Shuri and Black Panther are looking ready for a fight.
Black Panther: We have been listening, where is no point in trying to play us for fools by continuing your falsehoods. Okoye: Ugh don't sound so proud of yourself. I knew you were there and enjoyed having the audience. Gentle: Shuri, I'd like to take this moment to apologize for our past actions.
Shuri: Tell you what, Nezhno. Help us defeat this monster and we can call the whole thing even.
- Transmission #2
Caption: The projection calling itself Okoye gleefully gestures to the destruction around the room.
Okoye: I redecorated whilst I was looking for you, Shuri. Semi-clever little thing like you could prove to be a bother down the road. Black Panther: You do not need to travel down any roads. She can be a bother for you right here, it is part of her charm. Shuri: Thank you, brother. You know, monster, my scans showed you were suspicious before all of this. Too much ISO in your "system". Shuri: As soon as I got up from the distraction with Gentle, a distraction that you obviously set up… Gentle: Which again I must stress, I am deeply sorry for. Shuri: … I know. As soon as I got up I got everyone on high alert and waited for you to come and gloat. It is what villains tend to do. Okoye: A monster. A villain. Is that all you think I am? You must think a bit higher of me, my darlings. Caption: A burst of energy fills the room. Shuri, T'Challa, and Nezhno freeze in place. Impossible lights swirl around the floor like a fog of luminance.
Okoye: I am, as far as you are concerned, a god.
- Transmission #3
Okoye: I demonstrate that I can control vibranium, and you still walked in covered in it. It's as though you wanted me to do this. Gentle: Just… Tell me why. Why frame me? Why send us on this chase? If you are so powerful why not just take what you want? Okoye: Spectacle of course! It has been so long since I've had toys to play with. You could never fathom the countless eons I've waited. Okoye: Plots are in motion. Fear will spread. Anger will flourish. Hate will rule over sense. I'll watch you rip one another to shreds. Caption: The trio of Wakandan warriors struggle against this foe's control. Lights continue to manifest around the room in baffling colors and shapes.
Okoye: Of course I mean a more generic "you" than those of you in this room. You'll succumb to my whims in a moment. Your part is over. Gentle: Summoner, I have been hesitant about your naturally violent solutions in the past. But your temperament seems ideal now. Okoye: Yes… Summoner. You seem irritatingly immune to my powers. Fascinating. Perhaps a hands-on approach is ideal here. Okoye: The audience is captive. The stage is set. There's nothing left to do but dance our little dance. Okoye: Go on then. Give us a show.
- Transmission #4 - Before fighting Okoye
Caption: As the Summoner lands the final hit, the false Okoye mysteriously shatters and disperses their energy with a burst of light.
Black Panther: Shuri, your first order of business is to develop a treatment for our vibranium that stops that from happening again. Gentle: I know of a magnetically enhanced mutant who perhaps would have some thoughts… If we are looking to build bridges. Shuri: A big expensive science project does sound like a treat right now. Hold on I am getting a message… From within the mines? Caption: A hologram projector powers up, Okoye steps into view.
Okoye: Apologies, T'Challa. I regrettably was absent from my post due to forced confinement. Be advised that a shape-shifting double is on the loose. Black Panther: They have been dealt with, Okoye. It is good to see you safe and sound. How did you get free? Okoye: Nezhno had sent the Dora Milaje to retrieve Killmonger. They found me further down the mines. My thanks for your compassion and care. Gentle: You are most welcome. I was merely doing what I thought was best for Wakanda and all that call it home. Black Panther: This is the spirit we all need to hold on to. I fear that yet more danger lurks on the horizon. Be on guard, and be ready.
