"DOOM believes that concealing a personal teleportation device and then attempting to use it would qualify as 'attempting to escape custody.' Would you disagree with that characterization (She hulk's family name)?"

>>25490072
"Ms. Walters, as you can see, and as video evidence will attest, Richards was attempting to manipulate a teleportation device.
"Such an act would constitute attempting to escape custody.
"As his memory appears to now be restored, Professor Xavier will be requested to attempt to read Richards' memory again."

Lucia, call for Professor X, inform him that Richards will undergo a second mindscan.

Take the device he was attempting to use, give it to a non-networked doombot to analyze in a secured lab. Get a six forcefield generators and an anti-grav generator in here. Arrange them in such a way that they'll create a free-floating stationary force-field sphere hovering above the ground. It can be penetrated from the outside so the prisoner can be fed, watered, breathe freely, but they will have no traction and be unable to leave the sphere. Call Xavier back down here to read Richards' mind. We must know what foolhardy plan the imbecile concocted that involved him willingly blanking his own memory, planting a device inside his own skin, and deliberately getting caught by us.

And inform Miss Walters that we will be adding 'Attempted escape from prison' to the list of charges, with more pending based on what the device we confiscated is.

>>25490186
yes do this, also put out feelers see what Harvey Rupert Elder is up to, that celestial based teck would be great

Aww yeah. DOOMquest in da house.

"Duly noted, I'l need some proof it can be used as a method of escape, of course"

Xavier comes down a short while after being summoned

"Hmm, I think it's best if I tone down some of the language, but it seems that he set out to prove you had plans to attack the earth with your new fleet. You've already encountered his plans of escape, though. That was the only teleporter he has."

>>25490270
I'll have them investigate, sir

>>25490374
>She-Hulk
"Of course. The results of DOOM's investigations into the device shall be released to you upon completion."

>Xavier
"Attack the Earth? Again with this nonsense? Very well. And what was he going to do at the Shipyards? Just look around?"

>>25490374
>"Hmm, I think it's best if I tone down some of the language, but it seems that he set out to prove you had plans to attack the earth with your new fleet. You've already encountered his plans of escape, though. That was the only teleporter he has."

"Professor, you're part of his ....cabal. Perhaps you can talk some sense into him. This isn't the first time he's tried something like this - at least the sorceror supreme showed some restraint when convinced to go along with these 'plans' of his."

We should also speak with Hank. We need to know how involved he was with RICHARDS little stunt.

>>25490449
"Alright. Gotta say my defense isn't looking too convincing at the moment"

"I could, but I don't think that's the best option. He hasn't taken your sudden involvement well, and I think he just needs some time away to recover."

>>25490517
He did come up with the solution fairly quickly

>>25490374
>That was the only teleporter he has."

"Ah, so it IS a teleporter! lets see where it was going to...."

>>25490517
We did ask him about it and he already gave a legally binding statement to She-Hulk, though.

>>25490374
"I need to know his exact intentions in the shipyards. Did he intend sabotage, or mere espionage?"

-turn to Richards-
"Oh, and I will be adding 'destruction of property' to the list of charges, for the surveillance camera. Doom will eat the cost of the obsolete sphere and the window, naturally, but the camera was entirely on you."

List of charges so far:
>International espionage
>Sabotage of LAtverian mass transit systems [when he altered our portals]
>?sabotage of a UN military facility? Maybe?
>Trespassing in a UN military base
>Attempted murder of a Latverian government official [given his mental state at the time a case could be made to drop it down to Manslaughter, but he went in deliberately armed with lethal weaponry and hopped up on a rage-inducing combat drug]
>Obstruction of Justice [mind alteration]
>Evidence tampering [Again, memory alteration]
>Possession of illegal narcotics [Pretty sure anything that can lobotomize people with one swig is against our rather strict anti-drug laws here]
>Destruction of Latverian government property [both the camera and Lucia's cybernetics]
>Attempted escape from prison
>Resisting Arrest
>?Treason against Humanity for aiding and abetting the Skrulls? Maybe, if we can prove that he's endangered the shipyard.

>>25490596
"Thank you for the confirmation that this is a teleporter, Professor. That will help DOOM's investigation.
"Professor, did Richards intend any sabotage in the Shipyards? Is there damage that should be attended to?"

lets get to work on the self repairing rune cloth/metal processes. We ain't got time for this bull shit.

just have a Doom bot set half way between standard and Mr. rogers to deal with this, its what they are for.

>>25490700
He either meant swearing or he's making fun of us

>>25490642
But Hank did drink some of his own potion to "remember" the formula. Perhaps he also "remembered" about a stupid escape plan as well.

>>25490651
"Espionage, though I regret to say he had the intent to find a weakness in your vessels. It seems as though he didn't find one, however. I can't say if it was because he was interrupted or that there just aren't any"

>>25490636
Are you sure you wish to us it, sir? It could be part of his plan

Sorry about my slow responses, bit of internet trouble. Should be fine now, though. I hope

>>25490739
I was referring to his plan not language

>>25490789
He's not really in a grand sweeping plan sort of mood, it seems. He had some good contingency stuff going on though

>>25490788

Have his daughter use it.

>>25490834

>do you even Xanatos Speed Chess?

>>25490844
But he can't even say anything. Can he? Maybe his eyes can look all crazy whilst paralyzed

>>25490867
Unless we're just messing around with a Reedbot or the teleporter's a trap

>>25490788
"Typical Richards. If you'd really wanted the design specifications on the vessels, he could have pumped Tony Stark for them. Stark had unrestricted access to the base designs for an extended period of subjective time. Instead you create an international diplomatic incident while drugged out of your wits to learn that, like Doom himself, the Earth Defense Fleet has no flaws.What few flaws Stark introduced into the designs I have already compensated for and nullified. All this effort for no appreciable gain. The last twenty-four hours could very well be a metaphor for your life."

>>25490844

no. Valeria does not need to know of this.

It would be safer to destroy the device once the case has been closed...

After all, why would we use a Villains equipment? Ours is superior and reliable.

>>25490844
You want to send Valeria in to what is likely to be danger? You are no DOOM!

>>25490788
>use teleporter
No we will not activate it. Investigate its workings and the destination coordinates.

>>25490844
God No

>send a stealth bot have it scan everything and report back.

>>25490788

In retrospect, no, but do have it tagged as evidence and analyzed

>>25490844
Really? Have our goddaughter, who we love as if she was our own, who might be the one person to one day follow in our footsteps, use a device that RICHARDS made and put her in danger?

>>25490908
Co-ordinates appear to be somewhere in space, sir. I'm not picking up any kind of ship at that location
Should I send a team of robots? It may be dangerous.

>>25490889
Reed did not react, though I believe the paralysis had something to do with this
Shall I ask Mr Xavier to read his mind so he can swear at you?

>>25491025
>Shall I ask Mr Xavier to read his mind so he can swear at you?
Though the thought is very amusing, and I would very much like to hear his response, I'd rather not allow Mr. Xavier's mind be tainted by his words.

>>25491025
Yes, have Doombots and Servo-Guards in one of our cruisers investigate the site.

>reading Richards mind
No, that won't be necessary.
Have him placed back in his containment cell, replace the damaged camera, put a squad of a dozen Doombots on guard duty around him, and then dispell the paralysis spell.

>>25491025
>Shall I ask Mr Xavier to read his mind so he can swear at you?
No need. I Doom would rather Richards sat and stewed in a mixture of impotent silence and his own failure.

Did those forcefield generators arrive yet? Doom would like to get this buffoon safely contained.

>>25491067
I think we should send some using the teleporter whilst sending some to investigate
If there's a cloaked ship, it has time to move

>>25491091
You make a good point.
Agreed. We should have a group of a Doombot, Timebot, Doomknight, Silent Stalker, and Magebot use the teleporter while 6 Doombots and 3 dozen Servoguards in a light cruiser go to the coordinates in space.

Acceptable?

>>25491025
Should I send a team of robots? It may be dangerous.

no send
3 Cruisers to investigate,

with a carrier, Battleship and 3 cruisers as back us a few minuets away I don't want to take chances. hell get one of the Sword ships stark help build there too are they reedy?

>>25491047
good point.

>>25491123
Yep. Do that. And quickly, Lucia

>>25491067
Richards is dumped uncermoniously inside the sphere. A jammer is placed in the cell, to ensure any other teleporters he may have hidden won't function. Forcefields are placed around the cell so that if he somehow breaks the walls, he can't get through

>>25491123
>>25491155
The robots all huddle close so as to be able to use the small teleporter
Once they all have at least a finger on it, the Doombot flicks the switch, and they disappear in a flash of green light
Seconds later, through the eyes of the Doombot, you see what appears to be the bridge of a skrull ship, and several Skrull bridge crew looking at the team

What should they do, Sir?
Cruisers inbound, and should arrive in 7 minutes

Rolled 14

"Xavier... Are you sure that was all you read from his mind, the location that teleporter sends him or anything? Check, Again. Three times if needed.

Next, in a whisper
"And Test Hank while you're at it."

>>25491261
Demand that the crew surrenders, disable them, and take control of the ship.

Meanwhile, talk secretly with Professor X.
"Professor, I have disturbing news. Richards' teleporter was keyed to get to the bridge of a Skrull ship. Are you sure this was not present in his mind when you mindscanned him?"

>>25491261
>What should they do, Sir?
Doom will begin recording the video feed from each robot's eyes in a separate archive for later analysis. One of the robots should immediately scan the navigation system to determine their exact position. Use the DoomDoors to portal in servo-guard reinforcements as needed. Seize control of the ship. Nonlethal force only. Doom wishes to interrogate these alien interlopers. Once the ship is secure, begin scanning for other, similar vessels in the vicinity and use the portals to seize them as well.

>>25491261
High treason against humanity eh? I take back my half measures. Full trial as a skrull accomplice. RICHARDS name shall live in infamy next to Quisling.

I move to declare RICHARDS an enemy combatant. We should be able to hold him indefinitely until we hand him over to the UN.

>>25491318
In the space of a few seconds, almost all the skrulls reach down for their sidearms.
Fortunately, Doombots are quicker on the draw, and manage to stun most
Unfortunately, several Skrulls were lost when a shot broke a window, sucking them into space before a blast shield came down
It seemed that the captain managed to call for security before his paralysis at the hands of a prototype magebot
An unknown quantity will be approaching from inside the ship. What do you wish to do?

>>25491355
"No.. In his mind, he was thinking of returning to the lab, to his home. I can't explain this, and nor do I condone it. If he's working with the skrull, I'll do everything in my power to help. Give me a moment alone with him"

>>25491475
>An unknown quantity will be approaching from inside the ship. What do you wish to do?
If the teleporter still works, extract the Captain and all other oxygen-requiring beings, and break the windows, and have the rest of the bots plot a suicide course into the nearest and biggest Skrull anything, then teleport back.

>A Skrull Ship
I wouldn't be surprised if DOOM was doing a victory dance after this. Tying RICHARDS to the Skrull would be a killing blow to RICHARDS.

>>25491553
Unless said richards is an impostor.

>>25491475
>Skrulls
We have the coordinates. Make a DoomDoor and send in reinforcements of troops.

>Prof. X
Inform Ms. Walters, have her agree as legal counsel first. We do this by the book.

>>25491475
>Give me a moment alone with him"
Denied. Richards will be guarded at all times by at least two Doombots. You may interview him at your leisure, but your body will remain at least 50% shielded behind one at all times. I would have him in a muzzle and straight jacket, if not for his amorphous physique.

>>25491513
Full system shutdown. Take engine, reactor, and life support offline. The skrulls may Surrender or suffocate. Have one of the Doombots teleport the skrull captain and second in command to us immediately for interogation. Being abandonned by a superior is a hard morale blow and will increase likelihood of surrender by the crew. Use the doomdoors to send in reinforcements to hold the bridge and subdue any defenders on board.

>>25491475
>An unknown quantity will be approaching from inside the ship. What do you wish to do?
Can we use the Doomdoors to send additional 20 Silent stalkers and 5 Doomknights?

>>25491513
What? NO! This ship and its computer memory banks, as well its crew, are the biggest pieces of evidence in the trial of Richards!
Not only that, but they escaped our scanning! There's no telling what intelligence they had been sending back to the Skrull Invasion Fleet!

>>25491475
gate in more bots. hell gate in the ships

I want heavy scans of Richards both Magic and mundane.

perhaps Richards is a Skrull we can't detect with Science! it would make sense of his piss poor planing up till now. and the hitting his son...

>>25491563
We've scanned him, unless the Skrull have found a way around our scans.
>>25491607
With an ENTIRE ship escaping our scans its possible they can evade our scans.

>>25491612
Unfortunately, it seems the teleporter is burned out after transporting over 3 tons of machinery.
A Doomdoor is set up, and the door to the rest of the ship is locked, and the elevator is destroyed
The now unconscious skrulls are taken to the skrull camp in Latveria, and more robots head to the skrull ship
A doombot begins transmitting the information from the skrull computers back, whilst shutting down all automated systems, cloaking and shielding on the ship
The skrulls now appear to be attempting to cut through the door

The skrulls burst through, and with Doom engineered precision, almost all are cut down as soon as they enter. Some try to drag the stunned bodies back, but are shot in turn

Unfortunately, some forward thinking skrull brought a heavy explosive weapon of some kind. Without even aiming, it's fired into the room, shattering all of the windows, and destroying most of the computer banks. Some small Fires flare up, and are put out due to lack of oxygen. After a moment, the blast shields come down. Several robots were lost, though enough remained to defeat the last remaining skrulls

Have a team of 24 Doombots begin analyzing the ship's sensors and cloaking systems.
Have a Silent Stalker use our Time Machine to go back in time by 3 hours and subtly siphon data from the computer banks before the computers were destroyed.

>>25491861
good have it dragged to a dock and study everything, like how we couldn't detect there base.

also have all captured Skrulls interrogated, use magic to mind read them.

>>25491913
yes do this.

>>25491861
Coordinates? I want to know if its in our scanning range. If so, then we need to adjust our systems to penetrate skrull stealth tech.

Try to salvage as much data as possible. Focus on RICHARDS involvement and any additional bases of operation/captured metahumans.

Also check to see what information they have on DOOM.

>>25491928
Yes, sir. It shall be taken to the shipyards
I'll have the skrulls taken to the skrull prison on the asteroid belt

>>25492135
We should send out some of the fleet to scour our systems moons after we reverse engineer their stealth tech. DOOM does not care for such surprises.

>>25492083
I'll try, sir

The co-ordinates were correct, though rather than landing on the bridge as expected, the stalkers arrive in the cargo hold
Having taken scans of the ship structure, they head out in different directions, one to the backup room, and one to the bridge
The backup Stalker has a little trouble, as it awakens the sleeping technician by crushing a tool underfoot. The technician seemed to believe it fell from a table, however, and resumed his sleep. The backups were copied, and the stalker returned to the cargo bay, and hid, waiting for a few hours time, when the ship will be captured
The bridge stalker has a less easy time. It has to wait on the roof for two hours until an isolated terminal is vacated for a few moments. It too, takes all the information it can, before heading back to the cargo bay

You have their data. Is there anything specific you'd like to look for?

>>25492192
It might be better to design a probe ship of some kind; sensors, cloak, engines, and comm system. No weapons, no crew, cheap to mass produce, and eminently expendable.
And if it can carry a 1 gigaton anti-matter warhead, all the better.

>>25492210
Look for data on Richards, and their mission here.
Why was Richards' teleporter keyed to their bridge?

>>25492192

Any information regarding RICHARDS

Any further plans involving us, though pointless their assassinations take up valuable DOOMtime.

>Is there anything specific you'd like to look for?

Communication logs with other Skrull vessels.

Records of personnel transfers, both to other ships/bases and to Earth

Specifications on the cloaking technology

Specifications on the teleportation technology. Skrulls have never displayed such technology before. Why now? Did they get it from Richards or is it their own technological innovation?

Any and all information regarding further infiltrators on Earth.

Side note: We should debase our currency, we have some serious deflation issues going on. Maybe just deflate it enough to double our cruisers, battleships and carriers.

Scan Hank for Skrull DNA. This happened RIGHT AFTER HE GAVE RICHARDS THE FLUID

>>25492320
very good point he need a good scanning magic and Sicence too.

>>25492307
Inflation is when a currency becomes worth less and you need more of it to buy the same thing. Deflation is the opposite. Our currency is almost doing too well. It's becoming a luxury item. If we want people to actually use it, we need to put more into circulation, which will devalue it. But with Victor's Fine Clothing up to bat and Latveria experiencing the wealth boom being a colony-holding country grants, we're primed to become an economic superpower. Especially once we start bailing out failing countries.

>>25492353
Also lets not forget WE OWN MARS, even if its only 3/4 size of earth we have technically the biggest space per person ration.

>>25492399
True. We need to check in on those colonies, see if the Mutants and Atlanteans have come up with any ideas for their own industries.

>>25492251
1. None.
2. The Avengers, Yourself, The Fantastic 4 and the Illuminati, as well as other independents.
3. Reed Richards is in cell 3. The DNA appropriation plan has worked well, with the minor setback of the agent's capture
4. The plan to break up the Illuminati and fantastic 4 has not gone well thanks to Doom. Termination suggested, Attack team from this cruiser to assault home once DNA of allies can be acquired

>>25492265
1. Ship has been operating independently for some time, now. There was a top secret infiltration program aboard that was begun after the success of your skrull detectors
2. None permitted for staff, save the Richards agent being sent to earth, and the Pym agent, which necessitated the transfer of the prisoner from Europa
3. The cloaking technology involves having cameras all over the ship, and projects a precisely calculated shot of what should be on the other side. It appears most effective
4. Stolen from Richard's lab, and modified
5. None. Invasion shall proceed as planned

>>25492320
He appears to be talking with Xavier, sir. I'll investigate

The investigation of the ship should be finished soon, sir. Only the lowest levels to go

>>25492467
Sorry, that took longer than it should have

>>25492467
When was Richards replaced?

>>25492467
Send Doombots to Cell 3 of the captured ship, and to check if there is another Hank Pym there.

We shall go up to Hank, and ask him to wait while we check something. Prepare a paralysis spell on Pym.

>>25492467
Apprehend "Hank" NOW.

Check the brig of this vessel, Confirm that one or both richards and hank are there.

Seems we'll have to detain Xavier for the time being, for safety measures as well

I'm wondering if we should find Richards, Free him after he does a 'little' bit of begging, and then walk into the prison and have the fake richard's shot right then and there.

>>25492467

>>25492467
We need to update our scanners. ASAP.

Also takedown Fake-Hank immediately (preferably when She-Hunk is outta sight.)

Shall we save RICHARDS?

You know, this is actually very troubling. The Skrulls are not supposed to be able to replicate powers, but we just saw this fake-Richards demonstrate stretching powers, and also elude a mindscan.
This is very unsettling.

>>25492585
Only in delivery, not in making it.

>>25492582
>How did we miss that they were skrull?

The thing is, they might NOT be. We made a skrull detector.... and they may be relying on brainwashed HUMAN agents instead.

or found a way to defeat our detector.

>>25492467
We need to determine when RICHARDS pathetically allowed himself to be captured.

Additionally, we should personally see to his rescue, as such would likely annoy him.

Restrain Pym and RICHARDS. Scan to see if we can exploit their communications infrastructure so we can keep tabs on the Skrulls, or even distribute a virus through their systems.

>>25492600
>brainwashed HUMAN agents instead.
That's even worse, because this Richards agent was able to defeat a mindscan by one of the best.

>>25492467
The true Richards will be released to a very different world than he remembers. No matter. His doppleganger was accurate enough. Let's make sure Susan is present when we release the real Richards from the brig, however. As much as he hates having to thank us, he hates it even more when he has to do it in front of family. We keep the false Richards imprisoned here, not letting him know that we've freed the real one until the real Richards walks in to the room containing his prison.

I want DNA, brain scans, even a spinal tap so long as the paralysis spell holds him immobile. Everything that can reveal how this skrull eluded our detection. Also, look into any kind of aura-sensing, soul-sight, or other magical means of detecting creatures not born of this Earth.

>>25492509
Just before the Daily show incident. It seems that the attacks from the mutants were the real Richards' doing

>>25492537
Both Hank and Richards are aboard. No other prisoners. They are on the bottom level. Are they to be released?

>>25492537
"Hank" Is talking politely with Xavier. Without giving yourself away, you shoot a paralasys spell in his direction. You catch him before he falls on Xavier
"I trust there is a good reason for that?"

>>25492596
It seems the experimental process involves utilising the prisoners DNA somehow. I'll investigate further, sir

>>25492596
The stretching thing isn't that far-fetched, a shapeshifter impersonating another shapeshifter. Just like it would be simple for one to pass themself off as anyone with non-specific powers, the 'standard' increased strength, toughness, and metabolism. Evading the mind-scan is another matter. That indicates deep level hypnotic indoctrination, similar to some of the work the Soviet-era KGB used. That means dedication, planning, and fanatical soldiers willing to erase their own minds for the sake of their leaders' plans. Respectable, but dangerous in the extreme.

>>25492671

And being charged with Slander and Defamation."

>>25492671
Unfortunate that he isn't experiencing quite the mental breakdown that we thought. Maybe irritability is a sign of the replacements?

As far as countermeasures go, I may have devised a way to check for cloned impostors. We might be able to determine who is real by checking the tellemeres on their DNA. We may be able to use the same tech we used to date the Skrull replacement sword to detect impostors as well.

>>25492671
>Xavier
"Yes, Xavier. This was ANOTHER Skrull infiltrator. Much better than the others, designed to defeat telepathic scanning.
"The real Hank Pym and Richards have just been found aboard the captured Skrull ship.
"Well, Ms. Walters, it appears that your workload just became much lighter."

Let's get Richards and Pym into a Latverian hospital, and inform Susan and the rest of the Fantastic Four.

Check the ship computers; were there any other Skrulls that underwent this process?

>>25492467
>3. Reed Richards is in cell 3. The DNA appropriation plan has worked well, with the minor setback of the agent's capture
What a shame. Then again, it was almost too easy.

>>25492671
Both are alive on ship we just captured correct? If so tow it on home and personally see to Richards rescue.

>>25492671
Blasted Damnation I was Hoping we could Ruin Richards Here and Now but it seems that shall have to wait.

>The DNA appropriation plan has worked well, with the minor setback of the agent's capture
Modify the Scanner's to scan the Human Dna for any hint of Alteration.

>>25492671
Ask hank if he knows his Wife is captured or fake, we may need to pick up the wasp, Again.

This will be very akwards for both their families im sure, Susan's birthday? Hank and Wasps rescue? Very, very odd.

>>25492671
Contact Susan immediately and tell her not to say anything to Valeria. She should just collect her and come straight back to the castle.

>>25492818
Yes, sir. There are Doombots cutting the doors open now. There is still a Doomdoor open if you wish to go personally

>>25492804
"Really? Designed to defeat telepaths? I'm flattered, slightly, but I shall have to see if there can be a way around this."

"Really? Damn. I was just getting into it, too. Suppose the skrulls don't need a lawyer?"

No other skrulls, sir. The process requires the other person for quite some time, it seems.
>>25492787
It appears that the disruption of the superhero populace was their mission, sir, a goal he was on the way to achieving, it seems

>>25492861
She's on her way back, sir. Valeria has been told some, but nothing too bad. I'm sure she'll understand

>>25492671
Two things Lucia.

Did we send that time bot or a stalker bot in the time machine to shadow this Richards back in time? Do we have results with that?

Also, I believe a bot should have gathered the materials for a scrying spell. Use this Richard's blood sample to conduct a scrying spell, use a Magi-bot as a buffer to conduct the spell and digitally record all visions so they can be distributed to the Illuminati members and analyzed for future reference

>>25493017
>Suppose the skrulls don't need a lawyer?
If you wish to represent them in the Hague and plead for their repatriation or leniency, it would be a powerful spotlight on your career. Both good and bad. Doom recommends, however, that you look into prosecution instead. Identity theft is a very serious crime, and the skrulls will be facing a great many charges of it in the near future.

>>25493017
>She's on her way back, sir. Valeria has been told some, but nothing too bad. I'm sure she'll understand
"I'm sure she'll be overjoyed to learn her father's recent behaviors were not at all her fault, or her father's fault, directly. No matter how accurate a personality profile the Skrulls have compiled on him."

>>25493017
>There is still a Doomdoor open if you wish to go personally
Yes. Doom wants the first thing Richards sees upon his release to be Doom escorting his daughter in to free him. Make sure she suits up in the armor we made her. Have Susan on hand as well.

>>25493017
Belay that. Ask to personally escort me as we rescue Richards together. Aid Valeria in a astral projection spell so she may be present as well.

Also, set up an emergency teleportation spell/device hybrid that can recall us to castle doom, that is NOT reliant on Doomdoor tech and magecraft.

>>25493017
We should probably rescue Richards and give him a helpful briefing on all the stupid shit his body double has been up to over the past month. Take great personal pleasure in informing him that the daily show thing is on national television.

>>25493168
Not safe for Valeria to come, have her perform an astral projection. Have for paint a blood rune on a Doombot if that would aid her/

>>25493017
>you wish to go personally
Lets do that, prepare the medical team on this side
>It appears that the disruption of the superhero populace was their mission, sir, a goal he was on the way to achieving, it seems
I think we should start to work on improvements to the Superhuman Registration Act
>Susan and Valeria
They need to be inform abouth the sytuation imidetly, Im sure both of them would like to see Reed

>>25493017
I think we should call Tony.
Or get Shulkie to call Tony and Strange.
Make it snappy, like "RICHARDS SKRULL SKRULLS BROKE DOOM'S SCANNERS INVASION FLEET KNOWS OUR PLANS

>>25493219
Dammit, my typing is shit. I meant have her paint a blood rune on a Doombot, so she can project into it and it can take her appearance.

>>25493232
I don't think the SRA is in this timeline.

>>25493017
>Richards
We shall go personally through the DoomDoor.

We shall have to inform the rest of the Illuminati about this compromising of their security.

>>25493236
Call an immediate Illiminati meeting.

For now, ask Stark to remote a suit to inspect the insides of the ship, ask Strange to astral project and analyze the situation.

Summon Laura to join us in the ship, her instincts and good sense of smell my be invaluable.

>>25493260
We could just take her with us. Even if it is a skrull, We're pretty badass. We can take care of one skrull

>>25493355
Seeing a tortured and starved father may not be the best thing for her to see.

>>25493343
No, we are not summoning Laura. She is not needed, and we already have the ship's crew in custody. And she is a guest, not an employee or minion to be ordered around.

>>25493355
That's not the important thing. It's the danger Richards and Susan would perceive. Also, an astral projection would be a good confidence builder in her magical skills

>>25493386
We could ask her.
"Laura, do you wish to assist DOOM in destroying a skrull vessel? It may serve as an interesting change of pace from your current duties"
That way we are both classy and give her a choice, while maintaining Doom's character.

>>25493389
And showing her a battered, bruised, and starved Richards is a good idea?

>>25493424
Why are we destroying it instead of reverse-engineering its cloaking device (which defeated all of our scanners) and converting it into one of our own?
That's just a waste of a perfectly good ship.

>>25493043
>>25493043
I don't believe so, sir. I can have one sent if you wish. This incident was over a month ago, so I don't think attempting to stop the abduction would be wise

You observe as the mage-bot aligns all of the scrying materials in the correct position. It takes a seat, and begins to conduct the spell.
At first, all seems well, with the spell, showing the still paralysed Skrull Richards in the prison cell. After a moment, though, it flickers to a slightly more emaciated looking Richards in a different prison Cell. The spell flickers and distort, causing an intense buildup. You dispel it, before the robot is damaged. You may need to work on their programming.

>>25493232
With a few doctors on hand, you step through the portal to the ruined bridge. Dockworkers are working to restore some functionality to the controls, and replacing those that are beyond repair
You head down the lift to the lowest level, where your Doombots are just about to finish cutting through the door
with a pull, the chunk of metal comes free, and Richards, looking a bit greyer, thinner and more scarred, looks round the corner
"Not that I'm not glad for the rescue, but I thought it would be coming from someone else, Victor"


>>25493232
Susan and Valeria are on their way back now, sir. They'll be at the castle soon

>>25493386
Actually, good point. I agree.

A different idea. Lucia, I think Morgan Le Fey and I should perform a composite memory reading spell on all the captured skrulls from the ship and dump all the visions into a modified Magi-bot. A fast and efficient ways to collect a trove of Skrull intelligence.

>>25493443
Why convert it?
Simply strip the technology on the spot, find our biggest warhead, and send it back to the main fleet, still cloaked
Free kills mang.

>>25493467
"Ingratitude. DOOM hoped for better, but no less than expected. You have become sloppy, Richards, allowing yourself to be captured in this fashion. Come. There are people to see you."

Have Pym released as well, and we shall return with the two of them to the castle.

>>25493260
If she is to be our successor, maybe we should teach her the body-swapping trick we use. Let her ride one of our doombots to rescue her father.

>>25493467
"Well DOOM had to get you back, your replacement just wasn't up to snuff. Doing stupid things like skipping your wife's birthday dinner to crash a TV appearance of mine while drunk, or trying to convince Strange to summon a demon in the middle of my school.

>>25493467
Fuck. Lucia, research blood runes so we can control these bots ourselves and magically remote into them as necessary. Consult Morgan if necessary.

To Richards: "Your double has been causing quite a bit of trouble for me and your family, some more extreme behavior than what I would expect from you. They would be most happy that the you of recent times was not truly you."

>>25493467
>"Not that I'm not glad for the rescue, but I thought it would be coming from someone else, Victor"

"Nonsense! Who else is pioneering the defense of the solar system? SWORD?" (laughter goes here)

"I MUST thank you for having your 'friends' from the helicarrier strike against my home castle. - I wouldn't have found out about them, otherwise! Do try to spend some time recovering before meddling in my affairs again."

>>25493475
THIS IS the transport we need to disemminate our own SkrullBots into the fleet!
Do this, but with our OWN infiltrators! Infiltrate them right back, like we've been planning on doing as soon as the opportunity presented itself.
It can also self-detonate after delivering the payload

>>25493467
As sarcastically as possible: "You're welcome."

"Now RICHARDS what is the last thing you remember before capture?"

And I forget if RICHARDS hit Franklin before or after the Daily Show. Anyone remember? On mobile atm.

>>25493425
To show her that her father isn't perfect? That he can fail? To teach her that sometimes a problem must be faced head on and resolved oneself? Not bad lessons for a child to learn. And it will humble Richards even more, knowing that Doom has taught his daughter lessons he still denies himself.

>>25493467
>"Not that I'm not glad for the rescue, but I thought it would be coming from someone else, Victor"
"Oh, do you prefer to be left in this prison for another week or so?"
>Susan and Valeria are on their way back now, sir. They'll be at the castle soon
It would be baset if they where in some waiting room, I don't think Reed is in the most presentable condition right now

>>25493467

"I must admit, the skrulls are ingenious. I must forgive you, in some very very small part, richards. Your replacement was ACTUALLY effective at messing with my plans, and somehow more insufferable at it."

>>25493614
Before

>>25493636
The skrull arrived before though. Maybe it had just shown up and Franklin was really annoying

>>25493467
"What one expects, and what one receives in life, are rately the same thing, Richards. For what it's worth, Doom wishes you to know that your wife, daughter, and son are all well and that your body-double will be facing some rather serious charges. He has tarnished your reputation rather seriously.

>>25493588
Actually this is a really good idea.

Lucia, can we use a modified version of basic quantum teleportation tech to copy the ship's crew, except place a mass geas on the copies for them to forever and intentionally serve Doom and the true Doom as sleeper agents.

Have them return back to the Skrull empire to reverse infiltrate.

>>25493626
Or she learns that Doom is fallible, that Doom was fooled for over a month.

>sometimes a problem must be faced head on and resolved oneself?
Showing a starved and beaten Richards doesn't really teach this; even if you can somehow rationalize it, it's not an obvious lesson, and would require explanation.

If anyone asks, it was all according to plan so we could give the Skrulls a load of false information and infiltrate them.
Don't change from this stance
Richard's swap was all according to keikaku.

>>25493738
Their cover story is that they experienced mass casualties before retaking control of the ship, and have experienced severe ship damage. But they have returned with very important (misleading) intelligence on the human race's effort on resist the invasion.

>>25493770
Ha, good point.

>>25493738
>Lucia, can we use a modified version of basic quantum teleportation tech to copy the ship's crew, except place a mass geas on the copies for them to forever and intentionally serve Doom and the true Doom as sleeper agents.

Actually, way back a while ago, when we analyzed the skrull genome and made our skrull detectors, we made Skrullbots - shapeshifting robots specifically to hit the skrulls right back with their own stuff.
No need for geas, we have agents already.

At least, I seem to recall lucia said they some were manufactured and passed loyalty tests.
We should have a few on hand to do this.
Were they called the stalkers, or was that a different breed of doombot?

>>25493743
Doom is Great, not perfect. And were we not the one who discovered he was an impostor, unlike her mother who had lived with her for three months without becoming suspicious.

Besides, the irrational aggressive behaviour that Skrull-Richards displayed was a perfect copy of Dooms view of Richards.

>>25493800
>Were they called the stalkers, or was that a different breed of doombot?
Different breed. The Silent Stalkers pre-date the Skrullbot design.

>>25493552
"Never knew you as the sort to kick a man while he was down, Doom. I was walking back from the shops a few days after that that opening ceremony of yours, and next thing I knew, I was thown into a prison cell. I'm still not sure how it happened, and I've had plenty of time to think about it. I thought they might have erased part of my memory"

>>25493579
"I.. What? Tell me the last one didn't happen at least"

>>25493736
"Glad to hear. For all I knew, the skrulls had already taken over"

>>25493584
You have the ability to assume direct control of any Doombot, sir, with your technopathy spells. If you wish to teach these to Valeria, I'll get your notes from the basement

>>25493738
I'll look into it, sir. I could certainly increase the speed of the brainwashing/intergration camps, they seem to take far too long

>>25493800
Skrullbots have been kept seperate. You have roughly 4000 skrulls willing to do your bidding, but not all are soldiers. The stalkers are pure stealth robots
They can be dispatched when you wish, sir

>>25493800
>>25493738
I like it. Sufficiently devious, though we need a fake RICHARDS and Pym to make the illusion complete.

>>25493848
"Strange didn't actually go through with it fortunately, not that it would have worked, my school is very well warded. Oh, and Lyja was Jonnhy's girlfriend all along, no surprise there."

>>25493897
Brainwash the ones we have?

>>25493848
>I thought they might have erased part of my memory
Hrummm...

There is a serum for that. Possibly. It was made by Skrull-Hank.

>>25493848
Lucia, run simulations on the mainframe. Which would be more effective in reverse-infiltration, Skrullbots, mass geas-ed Skrulls, or a hybid or both.

Also, how good are we at reprogramming the Richards and Pym copies? Can we reverse engineer the tech from the captured Skrull resources? How did the ensure the loyalty of the copies?

>>25490072
>>25493919
Turning the fakes around on them would be sweet, as long as we collected all of the data we need from them.

We might be able to use sufficiently powerful illusion spells to do the trick if we still need the duplicates for study.

>>25493909
"Good, Good. I hope my replacement didn't cause any lasting damage. And I know. It's always her.
Now, could we head to earth? I've had enough of this place"

>>25493978
It would be more efficient to send the skrullbots, as their loyalty does not impede their actions, like a mass mind alteration spell

Some of them have become quite settled in Doomstadt, though

That'll have to be it, again. Hope you enjoyed it. I'll be back Wednesday, Goodnight!

>>25494115
>It would be more efficient to send the skrullbots, as their loyalty does not impede their actions, like a mass mind alteration spell
>Some of them have become quite settled in Doomstadt, though

Well, we can always manufacture more, and arrange it so the ones in latveria can live their lives and the one we send away are actually on a mission. data is mutable like that.

If we dare, though.

>>25494115
Good job OP, I liked today. All dose twists man

also, errybody vote on the archive. I know predquest got messed up by some dudes, so vote to keep it green

>>25494115
Thanks op for the thread

When the next thread starts we should think about creating a small and cheap space ships/satellites and place them all over the solar system to ensure that we would be able to detect any of the future skrull ship

>>25494275

This is going to lead to us littering space with doombots, isn't it?

>>25494304
Not as much as NASA have covered a good portion of the surrounding earth space with all kind of space junk

>>25494304
Astrodoombots would be cool
We need to build more

Wait, if the skrulls have been able to fool our sensors into thinking that they are human, what if they have been able to fool them into thinking humans are skrulls?
