Reed nods.

"We have indeed detected such a vessel, on its way towards Earth."

He gestures, and one of the large screens behind him displays telemetry data.

"The implications of the existence of a being that feeds on the converted energy of entire planets are profound, but now is not the time for debate on that subject. From what you tell us, Galactus is a sentient being, capable of reason, and presumably capable of communication, should he desire to do so."

"We have been as of yet unsuccessful establishing communication with the entity. However, that doesn't mean we won't be."

"Assuming that this inbound vessel belongs to the entity of which you speak, we face a grave danger indeed - but I have to believe it is a danger we can resolve by peaceful means. The Galactus of this dimension may differ from that of your homeworld - you are, after all, from a parallel. I'd further surmise that, modesty aside, the Earth of this reality is a good deal more technologically advanced than your homeworld - Galactus may more readily recognize the signs of advanced civilization here."

"However, we're willing to listen to the specifics of your proposed plan."
