Spider-Man: Friend or Foe (2007 Video Game)

Marc Graue: Nick Fury

Quotes 

• Nick Fury : [after Lizard had helped out Spider-Man]  Oh, that lizard guy, he's hired.

• [Spider-Man is teleported into the SHIELD Helicarrier and he looks around the room for a moment] 

  Spider-Man : Hello?

  [Nick Fury approaches Spider-Man] 

  Nick Fury : Nick Fury, director of SHIELD.

  [Spider-Man and Nick Fury briefly shake hands] 

  Spider-Man : The anti-terrorist organization?

  Nick Fury : That's just one part of our initiative. The rest is top secret.

  Spider-Man : You're top secret and your headquarters is a giant, flying aircraft carrier?

  Nick Fury : You'd be surprised how rarely anybody looks up.

  [Nick Fury walks off and over to the Computer and Spider-Man walks after him] 

  Spider-Man : You know, I'm happy to be alive and all, but how did I get here?

  Nick Fury : Short range teleporter pulled you out of the fray. Somebody wake the Computer up. It's time to get to work.

• [the Computer is activated and the computer screen turns on] 

  Computer : Mission briefing software online. Welcome, Colonel Fury. Welcome, Spider-Man.

  Spider-Man : Uh... Hi? Should I talk to the computer?

  Nick Fury : Only if you want to irritate me.

  Computer : I appreciate the attention.

• Nick Fury : Computer, load up the meteor situation report.

  [an image appears on the screen of a meteor storm in outer space and they pass by Earth] 

  Nick Fury : A while back, a meteor storm passed through our corner of the galaxy.

  Computer : Trajectory Alpha seven three.

  [one meteor rock heads down to Earth] 

  Nick Fury : Now most of those space rocks went racing right on by Earth. But one crashed down.

  [the screen shows an image of the meteor crash-landing in New York] 

  Computer : Tracking impact locale.

  Nick Fury : Right in the middle of Manhattan.

  Computer : Impact location. Forty degrees, forty seven minutes north; seventy three degrees, fifty eight minutes west.

  Nick Fury : Two guesses what hitched a ride on that meteor.

  Spider-Man : Venom.

  [an image of Venom appears on the screen] 

  Computer : Venom: symbiotic lifeform of unknown alien origin.

• Nick Fury : But that's not the worst part.

  Spider-Man : It gets worse than Venom?

  Computer : Worse is a relative term. Venom is only a rating seven of ten on a scale of terrible ways to die.

  Nick Fury : See, that meteor shower he was a part of...

  [Nick Fury is interrupted as an image appears on the screen of a wasp with a rocket launcher strapped to its back] 

  Computer : As a means of comparison, some selections from level eight include wasps with laser-guided...

  Nick Fury : Computer, put a sock in it!

• Nick Fury : As I was saying, that meteor shower that Venom was part of...

  [the screen shows an image of a meteor heading to Earth] 

  Nick Fury : One of the meteors went into low Earth orbit and bounced across the atmosphere like a stone on water. But as it went, it broke apart into smaller shards.

  [an image appears of the world and of the five meteor shards' landing sites] 

  Computer : Meteor shard landing sites. Tokyo, Japan. Tangaroa Island. Cairo, Egypt. Stokerstov, Transylvania. And Alberna, Nepal.

  Nick Fury : We've tracked the various pieces to their landing sites, but before we could move in to collect them, these nasty pieces of work started showing up.

  [an image of a PHANTOM monster appears on the screen] 

  Computer : Perpetual Holographic Avatar Nano Tech Offensive Monster, or PHANTOM.

  Spider-Man : You guys have a department just for acronyms, don't you?

  Nick Fury : PHANTOMS aren't biological. They're a mix of solid light holographic technology and the symbiote substance found in the meteors.

  Spider-Man : Somebody's making monsters that use the symbiote goo? That's just great!

• Nick Fury : We're clearly dealing with someone of advanced technological means creating these things and they obviously have their hands on one shard already. So *we* need to get to the other shards before they can. Which is why I need your help, Spider-Man.

  [an image appears of Spider-Man standing before Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus and Venom] 

  Nick Fury : You've faced enough super-powered threats in your day. You're the perfect guy for the job.

  Spider-Man : Oh, man. I have to say, I was really looking forward to maybe taking a few days off.

  Nick Fury : We've got a saying around here.

  [an image of Nick Fury appears on the screen, pointing forward with several SHIELD soldiers standing side by side behind him] 

  Nick Fury : Saving the world is a full-time job.

  Spider-Man : I get it. Great power, great responsibility... Okay, I'm in. Where do I start?

  [the Computer screen goes blank] 

• Nick Fury : Computer, show us what we've got on Japan.

  [a map of Japan appears on the computer screen] 

  Computer : In 1603, the Tangogawa shogun instituted a long period of iso...

  Nick Fury : Computer, a bit more *recent* history, please.

  [an image of a robotic, Godzilla-sized Sumo wrestler appears in a Japanese city and destroys buildings as it breathes fire at it] 

  Nick Fury : I have access to your "off" switch, Computer.

  Computer : Of course you do.

• [a map appears of Japan and shows an image of the meteor shard's crash landing in Tokyo] 

  Computer : Impact point. Thirty five degrees, forty-one minutes north. One hundred and thirty nine degrees, forty six minutes east.

  Nick Fury : Spider-Man, we tracked the first meteor, but it was retrieved and taken somewhere in Tokyo. Complicating matters are sightings of a couple of old friends of yours.

  [an image of Green Goblin appears on the computer screen] 

  Computer : Threat identity: Green Goblin. Green Goblin is equipped with an arsenal of razor bats and pumpkin bombs. Warning: Approach with caution.

  Spider-Man : Well, there's the understatement of the year.

  [an image of Doctor Octopus appears on the computer screen] 

  Computer : Threat identity: Doc Ock. Doc Ock is a genius of technological science. Warning: May be dangerous.

  Spider-Man : No, wait. *There's* the understatement of the year.

• Computer : Warning. Additional scans of local media, police vans and screaming in streets indicates high concentration of PHANTOM activity. PHANTOMS present have estimated symbiote index of five percent of maximum.

  Spider-Man : Well, sounds like I should go down there.

  Nick Fury : Hold up. There's one more bit of information. There's an operative in the area. Cat burglar by trade, but she sports a heart of gold.

  [an image of Black Cat appears on the computer screen] 

  Computer : Agent identity: Black Cat. Wielding a grappling hook as a weapon, she is a dangerous and agile combatant.

  Nick Fury : She might be willing to lend a hand if you bump into her.

  Spider-Man : So, to review: Crazy hologram monsters, crazy bad guys, lost meteor shard and incredibly attractive cat burglar.

  Nick Fury : That's it in a nut shell. Good luck down there.

  [the computer screen goes blank] 

• [the Computer screen switches on] 

  Computer : Briefing software active. Sense of humor, offline.

  Spider-Man : Excuse me?

  Nick Fury : Computer was getting a little uppity, so I pulled a couple of chips.

  [a map of Tangaroa Island appears on the Computer screen] 

  Computer : Tangaroa Island. Once believed mythical, this island at latitude four point eight one five and longitude a hundred and sixty two point three four two is mostly unexplored.

  Nick Fury : So far, we know this meteor shard hasn't been snatched yet. But there's still a pretty good deal of PHANTOM activity in the area. We sent someone in to retrieve the meteor shard, but we lost radio contact within twenty-four hours ago.

  [an image of Iron Fist appears on the Computer screen] 

  Computer : Agent identity: Iron Fist. There is nothing funny about this name. Iron Fist is a master of the K'un L'un martial arts. His costume is not funny.

  Nick Fury : Clearly, I need to unhook some sarcasm circuits, too.

  Spider-Man : Oh, come on! Just give the poor thing its sense of humor back!

  [after a brief pause, an image of the SHIELD bird emblem appears on the screen] 

  Computer : Sense of humor reactivated.

  [stars drop down onto the screen and a red-and-white striped party hat drops and lands on the head of the SHIELD bird emblem] 

  Computer : Thank you, Spider-Man.

• Spider-Man : Computer, are the PHANTOMS on the island the same as what we saw in Tokyo?

  Computer : Last report from agent Iron Fist identified a nine percent symbiote index in all encountered PHANTOMS.

  Nick Fury : Computer, if you think you can behave yourself, please load up the villain profiles.

  [an image of Scorpion appears on the Computer screen] 

  Computer : Threat identity: Scorpion. Scorpion's suit is equipped with a high-powered plasma laser. Warning: has a big tail!

  Nick Fury : *Computer*...

  [an image of Rhino appears on the screen] 

  Computer : Threat identity: Rhino. Rhino's strength is only matched by his lack of wits. Warning...

  [Computer chuckles] 

  Computer : Smells like a rhinoceros.

  Nick Fury : All right, that's enough! I want some computer techs in here right now! I want...

  [Spider-Man talks over Nick Fury, who is still indistinctly shouting orders] 

  Spider-Man : I'll tell you what. I'll leave you two to sort this out and I'll go see if I can find your buddy Iron Fist and that meteor shard.
