Dialogue[]
Caption: Without Annihilus to protect it, the second space station is disabled with ease. Now the Fantastic Four race to locate the third space station...
Invisible Woman: That last station was definitely Negative Zone technology, but there was something else about it...something familiar underneath.
Thing: Well there's noth'n familiar about what we're fly'n into now. Looks like some sorta horrible bug nest in space.
H.E.R.B.I.E.: My systems detect a fusion of organic components, technological components, and unstable arcane energies.
Thing: Magic space bug nest. Poifect.
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Caption: Meanwhile, inside the anomaly...
Mister Fantastic: Norrin? I can't believe you're here. This place, it's as though time...resets. I have this distant memory of why and how...but it's hard to think straight.
Mister Fantastic: If only H.E.R.B.I.E. were here, I could find some way to measure quantum chronal events. At least then I would know how long I had between resets.
Mister Fantastic: Regardless, time or no time, I need to stay focused on the work!
Silver Surfer: What exactly are you working on Reed?
Mister Fantastic: Escape! I haven't given up Norrin. I'm going to find a way out of here, out of the Battlerealm. We'll finally be able to go home...
Mister Fantastic: And though I may not have H.E.R.B.I.E., I still have my beacon. I've also found this strange device...
Mister Fantastic: It appears to be a simple artificial intelligence, programmed for search and rescue. If I didn't know any better I'd say it was Stark tech...
Mister Fantastic: ...M.I.C.R.O....yes, I think that with the aid of this device, and some help from you old friend, I might finally be able to save us all.
- Transmission #2
Caption: Back in space, aboard the nightmare amalgamation of alien technology and arcane science...
Human Torch: How is everything moist and dry at the same time?!
H.E.R.B.I.E.: The underlying structure of this station is purely technological, but it has somehow been fused with this alien organic material. The two are somehow bonded, sharing energy.
Caption: **A healthy relationship demands a little give and take...**
Human Torch: Who said that? Who's out there? Show yourself!
H.E.R.B.I.E.: I do not hear anything Mr. Storm.
Caption: **Your tin puppet cannot hear me, but the rest of you can...ohhh, it has been so long since I have had company. Such exquisite morsels.**
Thing: Everyone else hears the voice in their head right? And I'm not talk'n 'bout the one that sings the tripledent gum jingle.
Caption: **You have questions, and I have answers. Find me, and I may consider sharing them with you...**
- Transmission #3
Symbiote Supreme: You're stumbling around in the dark as usual Summoner. Following some cattle on a quest to upset the greatest discovery the Battlerealm will ever see...
Symbiote Supreme: Richards' anomaly isn't just a prison, it's an experiment. As we speak, Mister Fantastic inches ever closer to uncovering the ultimate secrets of the Battlerealm.
Symbiote Supreme: And I shall be there, to watch. To learn. To steal those secrets for myself...as well as my benefactor.
Invisible Woman: I knew it. You'd better explain who's behind all of this, or so help me I will cocoon you in that cape and pop you like a balloon!
Symbiote Supreme: Such audacity. Obviously, I cannot allow you to interfere with the experiment.
Symbiote Supreme: Besides...my newest generation of symbiotes are going to need hosts, and you all look like perfect vessels for the task!
