## Dialogue

 Caption: Within moments, Carina and Guillotine have aligned several foreign devices, orbs, and spires within the ruined Sanctum Sanctorum.

 Caption: Standing in the middle of the pattern of objects, Carina focuses. The devices begin to glow, and arcane energy flows into her.

 Carina: Doctor Strange, do you hear me? We’re at the Sanctum Sanctorum--or what’s left of it. We need your help!
 Caption: In response, an astral projection of Dr. Strange appears before them, looking worn but relieved.

 Doctor Strange: It’s good to see familiar faces. I take it you all have a moment of peace? We are in no such situation.
 Doctor Strange: Victor von Doom and I are at Doomstadt Station, fending off a Divergent invasion. We’re holding, but just barely. We need your help!
 Doctor Doom: Not just theirs, Strange. Everyone’s! Do not tarry, Elder. This is no time for your misadventures and games.
 Carina: Thanks for the pep talk, Doom.

- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest

 Carina: I have an idea, Doctor. If we use ourselves as beacons, we can expand the reach of mystic communications to others within the Battlerealm.
 Doctor Strange: ... yes, yes! I see where you’re going! Each other then can expand that network, until we have eyes across it’s breadth! Mass divination!
 Gwenpool: Divinet... Divinternet... Diviniationet--come back to me, I’ll have something for this.
 Doctor Doom: Why is she even with you?!
 Doctor Strange: This will be a difficult ritual, Carina. It will require all our focus, and much of others. We will only get one opportunity, Kang will not allow us to connect again.
 Doctor Doom: Which begs my previous question: Why is the pink clown amongst you?!
 Carina: Don’t worry Doom, we’ll start right away. I’m ready!
 Doctor Strange: Let us begin!

- Transmission #2

 Caption: The divination ritual spreads across the Battlerealm, and mystics throughout respond and spread its reach.

 Mordo: This had better work, Strange.
 Doctor Voodoo: My eyes are yours. Be well, everyone.
 Scarlet Witch (Classic): We’re holding out here, but we won’t last. Find the machine!
 Black Widow (Claire Voyant): Not normally my kind of soirée, but it’d be rude not to help...
 Mephisto: What, you think I would be left out of this? Let’s just say you all owe me, okay?
 Carina: We’re getting close, but nothing yet!
 Caption: Portals begin to spill open, releasing Divergent warriors that charge the Sanctum.

 Ægon: Summoner, Guillotine, Gwen! We must play our part as well! Defend the ritual!

- Transmission #3

 Cable: This isn’t the first time Kang and I have tangled. We run in the same circles, as you might imagine.
 Gwenpool: Ahh, because time isn’t a line, it’s a circle. That’s why clocks are round. Very deep, Natey.
 Caption: Cable scowls at Gwenpool and then turns back to the Summoner, continuing.

 Cable: This time, nothing worked. I’ve run through the same loops, tried all kinds of advanced tactics, and even just plain old timetravel disruption.
 Cable: Every time, he ends up in the same place. Like he’s tied a knot in the timeline. I can’t win. You can’t win.
 Cable: I won’t let the kid keep pushing. The more she tries, the stronger he gets, and the longer this fight runs. Too many good people will die to this kind of stubbornness.
 Cable: Let me through so we can put her down. When Kang takes control, the killing stops. That’s the best end we get.

- Transmission #4 - Before fighting Cable

 Caption: As the dust settles and the Divergents fall or retreat, Carina and Strange finally have a breakthrough.

 Doctor Strange: The ritual is complete! We should be able to find the location of the Paradox Engine shortly!
 Carina: ...
 Carina: There! The Galactorum!
 Guillotine: The very birthplace of the Contest of Champions... Kang certainly has a flair for the dramatic.
 Doctor Doom: Stop wasting my time and move, Carina! Kang will redouble his efforts once you’re en route!
 Gwenpool: **I’VE GOT IT! DIV-O-NET!!**
 Gwenpool: ... no?
 Doctor Doom: **MOVE, DAMN YOU!!**
