to: everyone

[assembles]

Hey there, everyone. My name is Steve Rogers and I'm one of the people most recently summoned to the Free Cities. I'm also a good friend of Sam Wilson's — we've worked together for a number of years. I know he's made quite the name for himself here.

I've only been here for a little over a month, but in that time I've noticed a sudden increase in military activity within Cadens. There's increased drills and training exercises, equipment moving in and out, that kind of thing. I went by Fort Wilbridge and tried to ask some questions, but all they really had to say was that they were acting out of an abundance of caution. Almost like they're expecting something.

It seems suspicious, so I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a change in how the factions are behaving, whether it's something I haven't picked up on in Cadens or something going on in Thorne or Solvunn. I figure it might be a good idea to compare notes so we won't be completely blindsided if something else is coming our way.

That's all I've got for now, but it's nice to meet you all. In a manner of speaking, anyway.

Yeah, uh-huh, cool – you wanna, like. Take it down a couple dozen notches, buddy?

[thunders]

FRANKLY, I AM SURPRISED THAT YOUR WORDS ARE NOT LARGER THAN MINE.

Glad to hear you know where I stand on the org chart.

I WOULDN'T TRUST ANY CHART FROM A MAN WHO WOULD LIST THE HULK AS THE STRONGEST AVENGER.

Uh, correction, Bruce Banner is the strongest Avenger. Come back to me when you can level buildings and write a 287 page dissertation on the effect of decaying radionuclides on organic polymers, okay, pal?

THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE. WHAT, DID HE WRITE IT WITH HIS PHD IN STRENGTH? YOU CAN JUST SAY YOU LIKE HIM BEST, YOU KNOW. IT'S NOT LIKE I CARE. [ He cares. ]

[industries]

I mean, he's never tried to choke me out, so like.

IN MY DEFENSE, I WASN'T REALLY TRYING.
