"Welcome back Cap."

- Matthew Ellis responds to the return of Captain America

Spoken by Matthew Ellis
"Good evening. I'm here tonight to address growing concerns among our citizens of the threats we face that are not of this world. I don't need to remind people of the catastrophes in New York, London, and most recently Sokovia, tragedies that seem to be growing in number and scale. And the organization we had in place to protect us, S.H.I.E.L.D., brought airships raining down in our nation's capital. Every day, new dangers present themselves, filling our peaceful streets with chaos. By executive order, I have created a special task force to neutralize these alien threats on our soil. The Advanced Threat Containment Unit, or ATCU, will be given full license to act with whatever authority is necessary. The laws of nature have changed. And until the laws of man change to reflect that, we must do what we feel is right."

- Matthew Ellis' speech to the American people

Dialogue
"Mr. President, how do you respond to reports that the recent incidents are, in fact, due to the spread of an alien contagion?" "These are rumors. They are not true. They are fabrications meant to boost ratings and cause hysteria. Any and all possibilities are being taken very seriously by the ATCU." "But if this is an outbreak, shouldn't the public be made aware?" "I think we should be careful, the words we start throwing around. The last thing we need is panic in the streets. Any threat will be eliminated, I can assure you. People have a right to know." "Are the infected among us?" "Thank you. That'll be all for today."
