"So, Dr. Jane Foster, Dr. Selvig, can you provide any answers?" Coulson stated, laying out the S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation findings.
He opened the files displayed on the desktop. One of them featured images taken through an astronomical telescope. A red-tinged photograph of the distant starry sky revealed a faint but discernible figure.

Coulson maintained his polite smile, though to Jane it now resembled a devil's grin, sending a chill down her spine.
