Andrew raises a brow. "No, we couldn't have, because I need you to stay nearby now. Dr. Doom is the only one who could have gotten robots or similar devices past Magneto. If it was not him, as we've been assuming, it means that our infiltrators were human or mutants, and in multiples. They need to have influence in Eastern Europe and Africa and reasonable naval capabilities to be at all aware of the defenses of Atlantis. Likewise, they need to benefit enough from political instability to take this level of risk. Check my logic here... no one would think to rule Latveria, Symkaria, Wakanda, Atlantis and Genosha. They're too widespread, and in some cases, too loyal to their rulers. Therefore the benefit is instability itself. It cannot be a friendly associate of Dr. Doom or my grandfather, further narrowing the field. Whoever it is almost certainly has Nazi ties... as the terrorists we're aware of with influence in mid and eastern Europe and South Africa, and still know where Atlantis is and have attacked it before would all be associated with Strucker, the Skull, Fenris, or Zemo. Likewise, those are the people with enmity with both Silver Sable and Magneto in particular, and no love of the Gypsy, Doom, or T'Challa... and most call Namor a personal enemy. ULTIMATUM has no naval capabilities we're aware of, or has never demonstrated any, and the Hand, while powerful in its areas, has not infiltrated areas without much Asian population to blend in with, to our knowledge. Doom tends to plan for people who rival his intellect, but overlooks the common man. Therefore... odds are that we have spies working for either AIM or Hydra still among us. At a guess. But an educated one."
A lot to chew on, but he wanted to air it out loud, make sure each step was flowing as logically as he thought it was. It was possible he was wrong, but it makes the most sense.
