The Infestation Begins
The ship's flight was ungainly, as it tore through Earth's atmosphere. It had exited hyperspace too near the planet to have been stopped by SWORD's orbital monitoring station, and no one would risk detonating an unknown quantity while it was in the atmosphere. It was ugly and utilitarian, clearly not Kree, Skrull, Shi'ar, Kymellian, Snark, or belonging to any of the other major galactic races.

But it was there just the same, and it was screaming over the skies of Boston, heading toward the harbor.

SPLASH!!!

The ship hit the waters of Boston Harbor hard, sinking several boats in the process, before bobbing back toward the surface, it's hull pining as its metal cooled, sending showers of steam into the atmosphere.

A SWORD team was already on its way, but this "landing" would not go unnoticed by others.

Rok Lu was nearby at The Bread Peddler just five minutes ago and having a bit of a stroll around, eating a red velvet cupcake. Until he saw the ship crashing into the harbor nearby. He ran, full speed to the harbor, shoving the end of the cupcake in his mouth and pulling in his radiation mask. He had taken to wearing his tighter radiation suit underneath his costume for these situations, throwing his button up shirt and pants to the side as he ran through the alleyway.

Man of Energy pulled out his direct commlink to the other Thunderbolts. "Thunderbolts, I think we need to be at the Harbor. Now. Big ship crashed. From the sky."

	"Big as in just big, or big as in at what used to be the harbor?" Victor grabs his hoodie, the closest he wears to a disguise, and heads out of his room, tapping the commlinks as well. "Alright 'bolts, time to see how well this whole experiment works. Try not to die." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Big as in it is an extraterrestrial ship that caused a large enough wave to capsize some boats when it crashed. Big enough that I am certain it is manned." Rok then calmed down a bit. "Just big Victor. There still is a harbor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just bloody lovely," Jay groans over the comlink as he rolls out of bed. "I'll meet ya there in a moment. Gotta suit up," he says, starting to get into his armor/costume. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Be down in a sec," Molly said over the comms, finishing suiting up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, flight with half the team carrying the other half (no armpitting) wasn't the most dignified way to get somewhere, but one supposed you worked with what you had. "That's... that's real freakin' spaceship," Sydney said. Sure, she knew there were aliens and invasions and all that junk, but this was her first time up close to one. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Elise had said little but flown under her own power and sort of hung in the air a moment looking at the thing. "Mein Gott...where did that come from?" It was more or less a rhetorical question and as she looked at it, she debated on which of her other abilities to power on, just in case. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm running it against known alien craft in the database," she said. She had a direct connection to the Avengers database and it came in handy at times like this. She frowned when she saw the results. "It's not any type of known craft," Anya said as she swooped in for a closer look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Flying a little slower just for a passenger's sake, Hobgoblin hovers as the others scan and comment. "Nothin' I've ever seen..." he mutters, taking quick mental inventory of the weapons with him. "Wonder if there's anything inside...and whether or not we get to blast it to bits." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	SWORD troops were already on the scene, starting to form a perimeter around the ship. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The SWORD troops approached the downed ship, landing carefully near its hatch. Using tools, they peeled back a section of the wall to get inside. The instant they did, some... thing leapt from the ship, tearing into the nearest one of the soldiers. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Okay Thunderbolts, let's give these SWORD agents a hand," Anya said and unleashed a stun blast at the nearest bug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dont_bug_me 2010-06-28 03:20 am UTC (link)
	Sydney swooped down, unleashing electro-blasts of her own at the first bug she could target. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	These bugs were smallish, about the size of a medium size dog, but they had buzzing wings and large, snapping jaws. One took a chunk out of a SWORD agent, while those blasted by the armored Thunderbolts exploded in a shower of goo. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly charged the bugs, her eyes glowing as she picked up a nearby dumpster and hurled it at the swarm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Try six-digited giants and super-nazis made of bees sometime, then we'll talk about gross." Victor chuckles as he lobs ball-lightning to cover their movement. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With the help of the Thunderbolts, the SWORD agents pushed back the wave of bugs. Three of them had suffered severe injuries during the attacks, and the others were pulling them back. The lead agent was worried. Brand was going to have her ass over this. She looked over to the T-Bolts. "You people want to lead the way inside, I'm not gonna complain." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-06-29 01:26 am UTC (link)
	"We'll do it," Anya said. "You heard the lady, let's lead the way." Anya headed for the opening. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Elise vaporized a few more bugs then shifted around and moved right up with Anya. "I think that perhaps after this is done we all need a beer." She blasted another. "And a shower in bleach." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Abigail Brand, head of SWORD, was on the scene by the time the Thunderbolts emerged from the ship. "Sit rep. Now." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	She tapped her headset. "Sydren. Get the heavy stuff down here. Yes. That." She turned her attention back to the T-Bolts. "Your planet thanks you for your assistance in this time of crisis. Now get your friend checked out by our medic and leave the rest to the professionals." She began barking more orders to her troops, moving past the Thunderbolts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-07-06 02:50 am UTC (link)
	"You heard the lady, team, time to get out of here and let them get bug guts all over them." Still carrying Syd, Anya headed off toward the medic area. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Right behind you, fearless leader," Molly said, thankful to be away from alien bugs as she followed Anya. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
