[ What are they like? That's a good question. They were nasty, brutish fellas, and they'd dropped as soon as Tony'd destroyed the mothership. A hive mind. Maybe they weren't entirely in control. It's unfair, but it's war. They all had a choice, and they made it. ]

Bluish? We didn't really talk much on account of the invading and all.

Oh, so not that friendly. [She leans one elbow on her console (careful not to trip any controls).] Is that the only time you guys have met an alien species?

[ A moment's pause, then, ]

There's Asgardians, but we've only heard of five and I've met two. They look pretty human, just wearing old fashioned clothes and armour. They live a lot longer than us, on account of their advanced science.

[ The irony of him calling someone old fashioned makes him grin briefly. ]

If there's any more wandering around the neighbourhood, I don't know about them.

[tobeajedi]

Hmm, I haven't heard of them either... I guess Dr. Crusher was right about this being a different galaxy. I'm a Human too, but I bet you're going to make up for lost time with all the other people around here... probably going to get along with them better than the Chitauri.

[redactions]

Prob'ly.

[ Hold on, that different galaxy thing. ]

You're human but not from Earth? What's that about?

[tobeajedi]

Uh... well, most people think Humans are from Coruscant. [They're so ubiquitous it's hard to say.] I just figured--there are Humans everywhere in our galaxy, so maybe some of us wound up in other ones too.
