"Save us... save..."
Ultron decoded and translated a message unlike any Earth communication. Simply put, it might be an extraterrestrial transmission.
Aliens were calling for help?
"Which corner of the universe did this message come from?" Tony Stark looked at Ultron.
Even if he had received an alien distress call, there was nothing Tony Stark could do about it.
He had not yet found the time to crack He-El's Space Bridge technology. He simply could not, and had no way to carry out spatial-node operations across light-years and travel freely through the universe.
If he could, Tony Stark would not have minded going to take a look.
But it seemed they had only received the message for now.
Ultron's projected mechanical head looked rather like a skull. Red light flickered in its eyes as it said with a grave expression,
"Two hours ago, on Earth, I received this message unlike Earth communications and decoded its contents."
"On Earth?" Tony Stark froze for a moment.
He had thought it had been sent from some interstellar region at least several, perhaps even more than a dozen, light-years away. He had not expected it to be right on Earth.
"The transmission point is ninety kilometers northwest of downtown Las Vegas, at approximately 37°14′06″N, 115°48′40″W," Ultron said, red light flashing in his pupils.
"Nevada, Area 51!" Tony Stark instantly realized that those coordinates were practically at Area 51.
Area 51 was now overseen by the Red Unit under General Ross, and it had become a powerful military base.
An alien signal had been sent from near Area 51. It was difficult not to wonder what Area 51 was doing.
After all, Area 51 had always been rumored to have captured aliens for research. If they really had captured aliens and were studying them now...
