I hope you excuse my taking action without your permission, but I felt I should move quickly. I've activated my agents in the New York City area, offering best payment for freshest information on Spider-Man; I also have someone in the Daily Bugle offices to tell me if something is coming in, and I am launching a spurious attempt at purchasing the paper to distract Jameson for a time from any investigation of Spider-Man's disappearance.
The first moment I hear anything, Lord Nathan, I will contact you to tell you.
Spider-Man was not a mutant, but he was a truly superb individual. One who could defeat, through nothing but sheer perseverance, a Herald of Galactus, deserves such respect.
Good. Also let it be known that anyone who brings me the slightest bit of bullshit info about Spidey's death disappearance will die. I don't have time to waste fucking around on this.
Also have everyone on the lookout for someone named Morlun. All I need is for someone to find him. I'll kill him myself.
In my organization, the root of 'deadline' is 'dead'. I was never merciful to fools and liars. I doubt there will be any mendacity on their parts - it is quite well known that 'Mister Noor' may not be a terrorist, but those who cross him die painfully.
Morlun. Understood. The word will be passed, Lord, and again, any news I receive will be sent immediately. I will think very hard about you - I think we only should trust telepathy on this, unless there's some other form of communication.
I'll arrange it immediately. It will take me about a half-hour to pull it together - I'm sorry, but the kind of discrection you require can't go much faster without possibly attracting official attention.
Are you all right, Lord? You sound strained... perhaps even if the worst occurs I'll keep the medical team ready.

Is there anything else? Logistics, supplies?

I'm not operating under the assumption that he's dead.
