Massacre at the Wedding Party

The Massacre at the Wedding Party was an attack on members of the United States by HYDRA by the use of a chemical weapon based upon weaponized Obelisk in the champagne offered to the wedding guests.

Background
The United States Armed Forces created an anti-HYDRA unit; Pete Leitner was a member.

After obtaining a skin samples from a waitress who had been petrified by the Obelisk, Daniel Whitehall wanted to see if the effects could be replicate and weaponized for HYDRA's use.

He assigned one of his top scientist, Doctor Lingenfelter with finding a way replicate the Obelisk's effect. After much work, Lingenfelter created a chemical weapon based on the Obelisk's effects and were ready to test their creation.

HYDRA decided to test their weapon at the wedding of Peter and Mariah Leitner. The wedding was attended by many of Peter's colleagues from the Navy. As Peter's best friend Schneider was giving his toast to the couple, the wait staff started to serve champagne to the guests and would not allow them any other drink.

After the toast the guests who drank the champagne started to become petrified and died. Some of the wedding guest suffered no effects while others had to be hospitalized.

Aftermath
Only a total of nine wedding guest died from drinking the poisoned champagne which did not please Daniel Whitehall. He summoned his top scientists to discuss solutions to solving the problem of fully recreating the Obelisk's effect.

Jemma Simmons had been asked to attend the meeting by Sunil Bakshi and was able to report HYDRA's experiments with the Obelisk back to Phil Coulson.

HYDRA did learn that the chemical was successful in some instances and used it to kill the Baroness.
