For all the marbles
Moondragon descends from the waiting fleet as more and more ships return, deploying troops. She lands amongst the Exiles as they re-gather.

"Adam Warlock is dead. As is your companion, Roxanne Simpson. She died heroically, I am assured." she says, her voice cool, as if she were reading the evening news.
"Thanos has recovered two of the gems and is on his way. Normally I would ask for the gems to distribute to the most powerful among us... but I fear that would doom us as empires fall into squabbling over toys when the universe is at stake. I therefore urge you to prepare amongst yourselves to battle Thanos. You have more gems... but he is more skilled in their use, and utterly ruthless. Despite his power and intelligence, however, we have an edge. He will come here... with Death watching, he will not turn down our challenge, and will attempt to defeat us head on. If we fail this time, however, I am certain there will be no last second save by a Silver Surfer this time. I do not think we have much time - so prepare well."

"He has possession of the Time and Soul gems, as well as a vast array of weapons and items of power he's collected from around the galaxy. Someone with the Reality gem, especially if backed with the Power Gem can usually overcome the effects of Time manipulation, if they maintain focus. We don't know what else he may have. He also has allies among the gods of death, so he will bring help. Thankfully, you do not need to fight everything... there are thousands of ships here ready to aid you. But I fear it will fall to you to battle Thanos himself and whatever his plan turns out to be. His mind is too powerful for me to read to gather information on the plan."

	Kev fidgets. "Okay. Are we going to need to make sure the same person is holding the power and reality gems, to get on top of that, or...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thin Miss Rogers is probably our best bet," Natasha said. "We give all of the gems to her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sarah is about to suggest Kev. He has the most experience manipulating reality... but he seems somewhat less than stable. The others clearly have more experience with Thanos, but she's the closest they have, even if its still a distant second, to matching him in raw power. Its also possible, with Thanos, that not knowing what to expect or having any fixed expectations might be helpful.

"If that's what you all think, I'll do my best. I'm going to need your eyes and experience, guys... he's likely to have contingency plans and help. I'll be relying on you to watch my back - its going to take everything I have to deal with Thanos."

	Dani was still a little worse for wear from her fight with the nieman lion. While her skin didn't show it, her clothes were torn and she looked a little beat. She was still kicking herself about losing the time gem. "Just let me know what you want me to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha nodded. "While you deal with Thanos with the gems, we'll take care of the troops he brings. Not a problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)
