History
After having a discussion about the fate of Skye Ward briefs the team that they have been called to Peru to investigate an 0-8-4, an unidentified object, at a archaeologic site called Llactapata.

At the archaeological site Skye tells Phil Coulson that they shoukd move the civilians away, but he explains that they want to keep the situation contained. The team is lead to the temple by an Archaeologist, who takes them to the 0-8-4. Meanwhile, Ward and May, who are guarding the perimeter, are attacked by Peruvian Military soldiers. Ward quickly contacts Coulson who, seeing the leader, introduces the team to Camilla Reyes, with whom he had worked years ago. Reyes, aware of the artifacts' presence, claims they should discuss how to settle Peru's national interests and claim to it. Though Coulson agrees, he explains that an 0-8-4 from S.H.I.E.L.D. overcomes all national claims. The two then begin to talk personally.

As Ward is checking up on the Fitz, Simmons, and Skye and their progress with the artifact, the Agents and Camilla's squad are attacked by local rebels. Agent Ward escorts Skye, Fitz, and Simmons to safety and are nearly killed, only to be saved by May, who drives the squad to the plane as Coulson and Reyes follow.
