Mar-Vell barely managed to cobble together a rudimentary communications device using parts from the aircraft.
Not long afterward, an air force base somewhere in New Jersey dispatched a rescue team as soon as it learned that the fighter had crashed, that one of its test pilots, Carroll, had "tragically died," and that Dr. Wendy Lawson was the sole survivor.
Of course, to make sure this "lie" held up, Alvin had deliberately tampered with the crash site.
First, he used psychic power to erase the biological tissue Rogg had left behind. Then he burned Carroll's corpse and made a few final adjustments.
Just like that, a "perfect" scene had been fabricated.
He had done all this simply to avoid trouble.
An alien hunting down the leader of Project Pegasus—no matter how you looked at it, there had to be deeper reasons behind it.
If Mar-Vell's identity was exposed, it would cause Alvin trouble down the line as well. He might as well fabricate the scene and save himself the hassle.
"Once you're back at the base, find Howard Stark, one of the people in charge of the Strategic Scientific Reserve," Alvin instructed after finishing his work.
"Yes, Master..."
Although Mar-Vell still harbored resentment, he dared not show it. He could only lower his head and agree. "Master, how should I contact you then?"
"You don't need to contact me."
After casually leaving him with that ambiguous remark, Alvin turned and left the scene.
No need to contact him?
Mar-Vell was utterly bewildered. Watching Alvin leave, he felt as though none of this was real.
Soon, the rescue team from the New Jersey Air Force Base drove up to the crash site.
After asking a few brief questions, cordoning off the area, and leaving an investigation team behind, they drove Mar-Vell back
