Greetings all. I am Lauri-Ell. I arrived at some point during a storm that was clearly the work of some form of telepathic warfare. As it has finally cleared and I may proceed with needful tasks, my question is how I might serve the needs had here?

Are there repairs that typically take place after a storm? I do not know. Kree cities are built strong enough to weather any storm.

[The blue face has a pondering expression, a hand curled around her chin and her eyes cast aside as she prepares how to speak next. At last she proceeds.]

I have spent much of this time attempting to surmise what species might be responsible for our current situation. The Agrii are unknown to the Space Empires I am aware of, as is this planet. Nor do I recognize the stars. This could perhaps be the work of someone like the Collector, though I understand he prefers things to people. Or perhaps the Grandmaster. He is known for abductions of likely champions and setting them against impossible odds. But that is usually each other.

What further context can be provided regarding our situation? Perhaps with more details I will be able to determine where in the universe we are.

What is an action movie?

[These words you have make no sense to her.]

Yes. She found that the city that was destroyed of which I was the only survivor was ended in truth by a human scientist that hates my people.

[beholding_archivist]

That... Sounds even more...

[ You know what, he's not even saying it. Some of those around are literal super heroes with heroic lives that might well be action movies. ]

W-well... I'm glad to hear it worked out in the end. And you... You don't hate humans in return?

[kree_soldieress]

Why should I hate humans for the ill behavior of one of their number? I grieve those who he killed in his hatred. But I do not hate all of Humanity for the sins of one.

[beholding_archivist]

It's not a mindset shared universally, I'm afraid, so... It's reassuring to hear.

[kree_soldieress]

Earth was beloved by our greatest war hero. Our Emperor was raised there. Or Prince-Consort is from there. Earthlings ended the war with the Cotati and saved the Universe. My sister is half-human, and my mother lived her final days on Earth.


I cannot see a reason why one human's actions should override the good of all of those others.

[beholding_archivist]

Other people will tell you of alien species with very different views of Earth.

[ None of which directed at his Earth in particular, but... You know. ]

[kree_soldieress]

There are more than a few I can name that have different views. But I do not know their histories with the place.

[beholding_archivist]

I can't help you there. On my Earth there exists no evidence for alien life at all. I have investigated enough potential cases.

[kree_soldieress]

How interesting. Perhaps they are out there and humanity has been listed as off limits. It happens. You are strange people.

[beholding_archivist]

If that's the case, they might be better advised to stay away. Something worse than aliens is already trying to destroy my Earth.

[kree_soldieress]

There is always something worse than the current problem. For which I am sad. Peace should be an option.

[beholding_archivist]

In some cases, I am afraid, it is not. But when dealing with sentient beings, an admirable goal.

[kree_soldieress]

Yes. And I do understand such goals are rarely achieved. But I do try.

[beholding_archivist]

Good luck, I guess.

[ What else can he say. It's just really not an option for him to pursue. ]
