[When Voodoo starts to speak her voice is quiet and unsteady.] I...guess I should um, say I'm back or something. [She takes a deep breath and steadies her voice.] Did anyone else that was taken encounter [a beat as she thinks of what to call what she encountered] something in that place? Something that really wanted you...um dead?

[The video cuts on to show a feed from the roof of one of the buildings in the city. Anyone who knows where Thor is staying will recognize it as "his" roof. His expression is grave as he gazes upward toward the ceiling of the cave complex, beyond the reach of eyesight.]

There is no static, no hesitance, and the woman holding the tablet, her expression determined and slightly aloof, doesn't appear to be holding a tablet as she addresses those who see the feed.Many of you have been expecting an explanation for a long time. Others have received information from these ( Read more... )

[There's the quiet scrape of something familiar, a soft sound, dull. Consistent if not exactly repetitive. Anyone familiar with bars may recognize it as glass on wood. Anyone very familiar might even pick up on the stick that says the drinker's been in his seat for some time.]
