Aegis smiled when she saw the new arrivals in the warehouse.  "Barbara, Shadu!  Glad you could come!  I'm sorry I didn't call you both over here sooner... I think getting too close to the spaceship did something to my radio.  I haven't been able to hear anything over it since I got to Central Park," she explained a bit sheepishly.  Turning back to Valkyrie after the new arrivals had settled in, she hesitated before asking, "What kind of trouble?  Something to do with the aliens you came here with?"
