We haven't pinpointed Sin and her whereabouts for more than a year. The market is packed. There must be 12,000 dealers hocking stolen goods from around the globe here and ten times as many buyers. Rolex, Oakleys, Gucci, Picassos, designer drugs, smut, Barry Bonds MVP Trophies...you want it, you can get it dirt cheap. We need to break up this crowd. Something to scatter the masses and identify who is with Sin. You're on Agent Quake!

They should be able to identify where and how many combatants Black Widow and Spider-Woman may be dealing with if and when they reach the penthouse. While Cavalry is meticulously putting together one mean looking, high-powered sniper rifle. Unfortunately, no one informed Morse and May that they were atop the same place that Madame Masque and her entourage were staying. And it just happened to be time for her smoke break.
