As most of you already know, the recent incursion on campus was caused by shapeshifters of extraterrestrial origin. What not all of you might be aware of, one of them has defected and joined our cause and currently resides at our school. Shari has offered to fill in our significant gaps of knowledge about these aliens calling themselves the 'Skrull' and the attached file compiles everything we have found out to date.

>> They are a Warrior race from a distant star-system and a current home-world called Skrullos, the location of which we were unable to determine due to a difference in names for surrounding stars. Every member of their race is capable of shapeshifting, often preferring infiltration over direct conflict but dangerous in combat none the less. Shari was part of an expeditionary force tasked with scouting potential planets for invasion. They encountered a wormhole that transported them close to our system but damaged their craft. They managed to reach Earth with damaged engines the workings of which she unfortunately knew little about. [Tosh, Natalie, Cam: If you get a chance to talk to her, she has a vague understanding of the principles if not the specifics.] They have access to advanced technology, although limited due to lack of necessary resources. Most of their ship's system has been salvaged and turned into weaponry, one piece of which we managed to recover and subsequently use to restore the destroyed Point. They seem to have decided to conquer our planet with just their limited force based on their assessment of our technology and ability to defend ourselves for, as Shari tells me, personal glory. It is possible that should they encounter too much resistance they will attempt to send a message to the rest of their people. Based on rough estimates of distance Shari came to the conclusion that if they ever chose this route they would likely attempt to launch a probe to travel through the wormhole, as any direct signal would take decades to reach their home planet.

>> They crash-landed in Russia, an event Tosh was able to correlate with the impact of the assumed Chelyabinsk Meteor. Assuming the shape of government officials they restricted access and covered the event up while also infiltrating the Russian Government at the same time. They have since taken over Russia's officially non-existent X-Weapon program, training and brainwashing Mutants to be soldiers. Ongoing infiltration efforts seem aimed at increasing dissent between humans and mutants as well as Anti-Mutant legislature in order to funnel as many refugees as possible into Russia. Based on reports from X-23 and the Team that destroyed one of these facilities as well as estimates on how many mutations are combat-capable the Skrull-controlled Mutant Force is in the hundreds. Most activity seems to be focused in Asia and the Middle-East at the moment, traditionally unstable regions, and for now they appear to be trained as terrorists more than soldiers. Shari assures me eventually as their program matures this will change and destabilization efforts will shift towards open conquest. Our main objective is to stop them before it reaches this point.

>> Their assumed identities are as follows:
Lady Mondegreen - Captain and First in Command (Shari's Parent)
Tony Danza - Second in Command
Gravity Joe - Propulsion and Navigation Specialist (Shari's parent)
Slow-Motion Walter - Tactics and Analytics
Secret Asian Man [deceased] - Infiltration and Assassination Specialist
Business Mandy [deceased] - Expert on Memory and Identity Extraction (see Ritual of Infiltration below)

>> All Skrulls are generally competent at infiltration, adaptation and imitation and as far as we know all of them are currently operating under nothing but their baseline abilities. They have access to a process they call the Ritual of Infiltration that allows a level of subterfuge that is capable of fooling any means of detection we're capable of, including genetic testing or even telepathy. The process imbues them with the complete memories of the victim and is what lead to the infiltration and near destruction of the Point when the Skrull known as Secret Asian man assumed Tereza's identity. We suspect they are attempting to use this process on at least some of the mutants in their programs as a method of brain-washing although Shari informs me the process causes massive trauma that, without the ability to physically adapt or otherwise weather it, will cause the process to most likely fail or not function to the full extent. Business Mandy was their expert on this process and her death will likely cause them significant set-backs in this area.

>> I will inform everyone as soon as we have located another one of their facilities or, ideally, the exact location of their crashed ship to put an end to their machinations.
