—Commander BrandSo, for the record -- when Emperor Hulkling sent that distress signal to Alpha Flight, there was every chance Gyrich would have passed it along to the Avengers. Hulkling's one of their own -- their problem, by his thinking. And, of course, they'd have all gone running to help.
I just couldn't have that.

Synopsis for "Full Spectrum Diplomacy"
Responding to a Mindless One incursion on Throneworld II, Emperor Hulkling calls in assistance from the imprisoned Captain Glory. Briefing the Captain, Hulkling tells him that their calls to Alpha Flight have gone unanswered. They work to defend the planet, checking in on comms with Lauri-Ell in the southern quadrant, before two Macro-Mindless Ones bring down Captain Glory and the blade Excelsior is broken by enemy fire. On Planet Arakko, Doctor Doom and Storm discuss mysterium over dinner, the Latverian ruler revealing he knows that the material comes from the White Hot Room. He warns Storm that there will be consequences before Commander Brand uses Mentallo’s telepathy to inform Storm of the ongoing situation in the stars, en route to bring her team to assist Hulkling. Needing to check in with Arakko’s governing body, the Great Ring, Storm ends the shared meal with a lightning bolt through the table, rejecting the notion that mutants need Doom’s help. Brand’s team finds an injured Emperor, and Brand misleads him about the reasons Alpha Flight and the Scarlet Witch have not come to his aid, Brand having secretly intercepted and blocked his message to Alpha Flight and the Witch being dead. Manifold transports him back to the Peak’s med bay as the team enters into defensive battle with the Mindless Ones.
