It was tempting to search the Meteor Room for evidence... but with what she saw within Hammond's mind about his captives being mutated by mere exposure to it, Psylocke didn't want to risk herself being affected, even if it was just her astral form.
That leaves... She passed through the Surveillance Room's elevator door and followed the shaft. If it contains monitors for every area in this... facility, then I might have an easier time looking for physical proof from there.
"Wha' happened? ...oh, oh that? Well, it'shj a long story. Y'see, I went out t' the hashel woord, beacaush a fire wash-"
Lobo's story was then interrupted when he teetered so far to the left that he went down, crashed through a ceiling and ploughed through a recreational gym on his way to terra firma.
Psylocke reached the top of the small elevator, and naturally, there stood a wide array of computer screens, attached to the wall in a concave arrangement, with a spaghetti mess of cables holding them in place. However, instead of a comically obese guard sitting and snoozing in front of the screens, there stood an ominous and alien black pillar. It had a red light on the top, diodes trailing down, and multiple camera lenses going all the way across the front, drifting from monitor to monitor, assessing multiple screens at any given time.
And a Strange Figure Emerges."Whoa, that's some story" Posterity said about Wolverine's explanation. "What do you think, Ant Soldier, should we help?"
Her companion mused a moment, then said, "...I have my doubts about the viability of this plan. Especially with Lobo involved. However, if its for the good of a fellow hero, not to mention a whole planet, you can count on us. How about you Flash?"
"I'm scared just like you two." Flash said, leaning against a stand. "I mean, if we fail, not only is Starfire going to be in more trouble, but also the Earth might be in trouble too. Suddenly, aliens! And they want to fry us."
"I'm in, but-" He raised a finger. "We need a failsafe. Something to make sure that if we fail, the world doesn't pay for our error."
Black Panther winced as he watched Lobo fall right through the roof, before jumping down the hole he made into the gym. The feline warrior assessed the situation, making sure nobody inside was injured, before approaching Lobo.
"You alright?"
He instinctively reached into one of his pouches for his phone, ready to call She-Hulk, before quickly realizing he didn't have her number, let alone anyone else's. That would make things a lot more difficult. Panther laughed weakly and quietly as he put away his phone, and quickly thought up a plan B.
"Lobo, I have a proposition," he said, taking a black blindfold out of his pocket. "Put this blindfold on, and put away your weapons, and I will lead you to the... most beautiful woman you've ever seen."
"@[=g3,8d]&fbb=-q]/hk%fg"Starfire began firing starbolts at the ground in front of them, making it to She-Hulk's specific specifications. It was after all, easy enough to do for her, though it would take some time.

Wizard Needs Food BadlyWolverine thought for a moment. "The only thing I can think of that's gonna be a true failsafe would be the presence of some kinda space cop. Technically speaking the Gordanians aren't allowed to operate outside of the space sector their home planet is in, with all the major law enforcement and intergalactic organizations dropping the hammer down on them if they see even one outside their borders."
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HITTING HELPY!!She-Hulk's plan was a success, and the horde of pigs wound up in a disorderly pile in the newly created hole.
After Lobo crashed the bike, he staggered, dirty and bedraggled, out of the mess he'd just made. "I'm okayr!" he burble, before staggering over backwards.
When Black Panther mentioned he had a proposition, Lobo jerked his head up with a startled "Hrmm?!" and a disgusted look. Then Black Panther handed the blindfold, and explained what was going to happen. "Ooooh, I see. So I'm gonna see thish beautifl lady, an' then she's gonna probosalition me, uh? Okay, right! So, let's me just get this..."
He made several attempts at putting the blindfold around his face. Most of the attempts ended up with the blindfold in his mouth, or around his forehead or nose, which started him giggling. Finally, he got it properly around his eyes. He tied it in a knot, which immediately came undone. Finally, he did it one last time in a secure knot...and found that he'd tied up his finger in doing so. "...um...mm...helop?" he said sheepishly.
And a Strange Figure Emerges."Okay. Space cops." Flash said, nodding to himself. "Sounds completely reasonable. How in the world are we going to find these space cops, if they even exist? What, are we just going to pull up our phones, dial 911 space and ask for the space cops to oversee our operation? We need a better failsafe, something we can count on, without needing some kind of... space cop's help."

"He is Lobo," Starfire answered as if that was the only reason needed for the strangeness. "He does not need a reason."

Wizard Needs Food Badly"Alright," Starfire began floating over the pigs and began flying over the street to try to find Lobo and Black Panther.
Wizard Needs Food BadlyBlack Panther blinked at Lobo.
"Don't worry about it, the look suits you. Let's go."
Panther forcefully took Lobo's hand and lead them outside, where he awkwardly struggled to keep the blindfolded Lobo walking while making sure he didn't step on the toes of the various confused pedestrians along the way. Eventually, Lobo spotted Starfire up in the air.
"Just a moment, Lobo, I need to talk to someone. Don't take your blindfold off just yet."
Panther waved at Starfire.
"Hey there. Lobo didn't put up much of a fight, but I think he's highly intoxicated. I don't think we'll get any information out of him. I do have him blindfolded, though. Shall I bring him back to She-Hulk?"
"@[=g3,8d]&fbb=-q]/hk%fg"Starfire raised and eyebrow at the scene and nodded, not wanting to talk and reveal who she is. Starfire just began flying back though slowly so that Black Panther and Lobo can follow her easily.
Wizard Needs Food Badly"She-Hulk, Lobo appears to be highly intoxicated," Starfire finally said to She-Hulk as she appeared with Black Panther and Lobo. Now with both She-Hulk and Black Panther here, she would have backup if Lobo tried to take her back to the Gordanians.
Wizard Needs Food BadlyShe-Hulk facepalmed. "Well, that explains a lot. Bring him over here... no, wait, I have something better." She pointed at the lamppost on top of them, climbing on top of a car to tie the string to the lamppost. She then motioned for Black Panther to bring Lobo closer so she could suddenly yank him, tie his feet to the string and then leave him hanging on top of the hole filled with pigs. "There. That should get him talking. Now, let me start by asking what in the world are you doing with these pigs?"
Hammond is far too obsessed with form over function. Drifting to just above the strange black machine, Psylocke began looking through the various screens. While she continued to search for archival rooms of any kind, she also wanted to see if there was a camera showing what the meteor the man prized so much looked like.
"Hey, Thor?"
Thor just the magical berry hooked to his ear, "Donald! Do you think I'd look better in a top hat or a bowler?"
"Uh... what? No! I have a couple thing I need to say."
"Speak! Thor listens."
"Okay, first off, there seems to be something going down with that space biker guy."
"Lobo? Ooh, fighting him is fun!"
"Yeah, but it seems like him and his pigs are actually getting mopped up already."
"Aaawwww..."
"But, another thing, Thor.... there's been, like, rumors going around about... you... and me.... I dunno how to say this..."
"Mmmhmm?"
"That you and me are... more than friends."
"Stop right there, Donald!"
"Yeah, sorry, Thor, I just thought-"
"Am I on top?"
"-that- what."
"In these purported rumors, and this is very important, do they say that I, the Mighty Thor, am the top."
"What."
"Because the Prince Of Thunder bottoms for NO man."
"WHAT."
"But there have been a few men before you who have, yes, 'bowed' before my manlier vigor."
"..."
"If you catch my drift."
"WHAT."

"Right," Wolverine said to Posterity. "Follow me." The mutant went inside the museum, away from prying eyes. Once Flash and the Hero Duo was with him, he explained everything. He explained that Starfire was actually a princess from another planet who was to be given to the Gordanians, a race of alien slavers that was waging war against her home of Tamaran, as part of the peace agreement between her people and the Gordanians. However, became marooned on Earth when she escaped from the ship that was transporting her, and she was living with Wolverine ever since.
Unfortunately Lobo came to Earth to try to recapture Starfire as apparently the Gordanians put out a bounty on her capture. After getting his ass handed to him for the second time, Wolverine decided to take up on Lobo's idea on trying to trick the Gordanians. In order to accomplish this, the former X-Man went to a guy that could create a life-like statue copy of Starfire* they could use to trick the Gordanians. He already picked up the statue, and all that was needed now was to schedule the pick up. At this point, Wolverine asked the other heroes to help out, basically ambushing the Gordanians that came in case anything goes wrong.
