The Science Council

[doc-richards.livejournal.com]

The Baxter Building appears to have become the seat of the World Government - the top several floors are reserved as living quarters, laboratories, and meeting space for the Science Council that governs, with the affirmed consent of the people.

SHIELD fliers bring the Exiles to the top of the building in the light of day - the city of New York shining and clean below. President Reed Richards waits on the roof to greet them, dressed in plain business attire, along with a labcoat.

"Ben! Peter! So glad you could make it. I'm very eager to meet our guests - this is the first time we've had a whole group of transdimensional visitors."

"We have sophisticated emergency protocols in place, to allow us to evacuate whatever area he's going to land in, swiftly."

Parker leans forward onto the council table, peering at Sarah.

"However, gathering the kind of information on his ship to plan a smash and grab is going to require significant probing with a wide variety of sensors. How do we know that the probes won't provoke a hostile response?"

"Admittedly, you don't. But first, the Taa will be immune to any type of sensors you have, regardless how advanced. Indeed, if Galactus cared in the least about your response, you wouldn't have even detected his ship until it blacked out the sky over most of a hemisphere. Second, when the Fantastic Four stole the Ultimate Nullifier, it was going in blind, and yet they succeeded."
She pauses, looking for any sign of comprehension or a real sense of awareness of the danger they're in among those on the council.
"Simply put, I hope I'm wrong... desperately. But we don't get sent to realities where everything will be alright. By the fact that we've been sent here, I'm very certain this is the Galactus I'm familiar with. By all means, try and communicate... but when that fails, be prepared to send a team after the Nullifier."

"What about Uatu? On my world, the FF had a little help from the Watcher.."

Sarah nods. "That seems to be a common theme. He was also the one who warned my parents and their teammates not to return to Earth. I have to wonder if the Watcher even exists here, at least in this sector though... maybe that's why we're here, to serve as warning in his place." she offers back, mostly to her teammates.

"We'll take this information under consideration, of course. We have much to discuss about this. In the meantime, Ben, if you could make arrangements for our guests' comfort, I'd appreciate that."
