Can someone tell me if anyone knows how people arriving here works? I know we get pulled here, but does anyone know why sometimes people come in from the same universe all at once?

[Private to the Avengers + Bucky&Coulson | unhackable | Tony Stark's code]

Report. What's the status on Loki? How do we deal with this regarding civilians? Thor, what do you want to do? I know he's your brother but you know we can't let him be destructive, or try and take over, either.

[Private to Justin Pendleton | unhackable | Tony Stark's code]

I was told you're the one to come to regarding the Police Force.

I'm Justin Pendleton, and that's right.

[Private | Unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

I need to talk to you about what's happening with a vampire named Karl.

[Private | Unhackable]

[othersdie]

I'm familiar with him. What is it?

[Private | unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

Are you also aware he's been threatening women on a regular basis?

[Private | unhackable]

[othersdie]

No, I haven't been made aware of that until now. Thank you; this will be looked into.

Do you know of any specific instances?

[Private | unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

He's been harassing several of my friends - I can't come forward with their names, I don't have their permission. They came to me because where I'm from I'm in the Army and I've dealt with the supernatural before.

I'd be happy to take care of it, but I want to make sure I go through the right channels.

[Private | unhackable]

[othersdie]

How would you take care of the problem? I can't condone murder.

[Private | unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

Good, because I'm not a murderer.

I'd want to talk to him, first.

[Private | unhackable]

[othersdie]

Good.

If you're relatively sure you won't be killed if you try that, then you're welcome to. Do you require police backup? The Police Force is [a mess and the current chief is a twenty-something year-old murderer with no leadership ability] understaffed, but some officers could be freed up.

[Private | unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

Justin, do you need help?

[Private | unhackable]

[othersdie]

[If this was an actual face-to-face conversation, a long and awkward pause would go right here.]

Possibly... but I'm not the one who's going to try to be reasonable with a vampire.

[Private | unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

I might surprise you.

[Private | unhackable]

[othersdie]

Karl is insane. I'd be more than surprised if he was willing to have a reasonable conversation.

[Private | unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

It sounds like you've handled him before.

[Private | unhackable]

[othersdie]

Only via the network, for the most part.

[Private | unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

That's easier.

[Private | unhackable]

[othersdie]

It's safer.

Does your experience with the supernatural include vampires?

[Private | unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

Not yet.

[Private | unhackable]

[othersdie]

Then you should at least know that most vampires have supernatural strength. Some have supernatural speed, too. Enhanced senses. I don't know which, if any, of those traits Karl has.

[Private | unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

I appreciate the warning.

[Private | unhackable]

[othersdie]

And you don't need back up.

[Private | unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

I have a team. I don't want to stretch you out any further.

[Private | unhackable]

[othersdie]

A team?

[Private | unhackable]

[punchedhitler]

A team.

[Private | unhackable]

[othersdie]

An organized team of trained individuals.
