Lyra: Is Tyger Tiger still Head of State,sir?

Phil Coulson: As far we know ,Lyra...yes. She is still Head of State but there are rumors.

Bengal: What kind of rumors?

Phil Coulson: That she's just a figurehead. Someone else is running Madripoor.

Whizzer: Director Coulson why Madripoor?

Coulson flips to another image on the projector.

Quake: Who's that ?

Phil Coulson: This team is your objective. His name is Dr. Morgan Von Bruder.

Quake: He looks familiar.

Phil Coulson: He should was part of the science division here. He helped spearhead the Superhuman Division.

Whizzer: Yeah ,but he was an arrogant prick.

Phil Coulson: Agreed ,but now he's selling himself off to the highest bidder with all his secrets on the line. Your mission if you choose to accept it is bring Dr. Von Bruder back.

Thor Girl: Fan of Mission Impossible?

Coulson turns to Thor Girl and smiles at her.

Phil Coulson: Your contact ,Jessan Hoan will meet you there. You will go under as tourist . When you retrieve your objective there is a safe house known a Stinger if the situation calls for it. Dismissed people.

The team heads out leaving Quake and Coulson.

Phil Coulson: Agent Quake ,I know I'm sending you and your team off so sudden but I wouldn't do this if I didn't believe you could.

Quake: I know sir ,I just don't want our first mission to go bad.

Phil Coulson: You won't ,better catch up with your team.
