"It's simple really. All we need to do is find one of those mortal devices called a Cosmic Cube." Loki said. "I happen to have stumbled across a lead while scouring the universe. It seems like the Skrulls have access to one on one of their fringe worlds guarded closely by a new group of warriors called the Super Skrull Corps."

"I know the device you speak of. The Silver Surfer has witnessed its power firsthand, and it dwarfs my own cosmic power considerably. This might work", she admitted. "...And the Skrulls have displayed hostility towards the Earth multiple times. However, I am hesitant to attack without provocation to essentially steal something from them, even if it is technically speaking for a good cause. And, as much as I hate to say it, are you sufficiently back in Father's good graces to be allowed close to such a device, brother?" she asked seriously, as although she loved and cared for Loki, she also knew more than anyone else - save for Odin himself - how often Loki had ended up on the All-Father's black list over the years.

I suppose those are factors and risks you'll have to take dear Brother. Of course if you do not wish to use the cube, I can just as easily assemble a team to help me take it myself." Loki said about to turn away. "Besides the Skrulls would likely just use the cube in some scheme to take over Earth... and it's not like you value aliens over mortal humans... I mean how many times have you aided or turned a blind eye in driving Galactus away from this planet so that instead he must consume some other hapless world?"

"I have an history with humans. I see them as family", she retorted, a bit annoyed by Loki's remarks. "And I'll have you know that driving Galactus away once is already nearly a miracle. I'm not turning a blind eye, I just cannot possibly be everywhere at once", she pointed out, sighing.
"But it's true that Skrulls cannot be trusted with such a device. And speaking of Galactus and similar threats, the Cube could be a potent tool in dealing with them in the future", she admitted. "Fine. I will get the Cube back", she decided.

"Good. Then shall we get a move on?" Loki said creating an illusion of the coordinates to the astroid base the Skrulls were using.

"Allow me", Illyana said, raising Mjölnir, and opening a portal to those coordinates as precisely as possible, before stepping through it if successful. 8 in Intelligence to figure out the coordinates properly;
then using Mjölnir's teleportation 10 power to open a portal there, and step through it.

You arrive inside a wide open space hanger which is actually some sort of force field dome with an atmosphere inside
No Skrulls have spotted you yet though a few are roaming around the area.

Not being nearly as reckless and impulsive as Thor alone would be thanks to her other selves, Illyana glanced around, and while she did keep Mjölnir on hand and ready for battle, she began by using her powers to attempt to sense the Cosmic Cube's current location using her own cosmic power. 20 (Ef) in The Power Cosmic to sense the location of the Cube from where we stand.

You sense it inside a control room 180 meters below the surface of the asteroid.

"I sense it... deep below ground, in a control room", she whispered. "I shall open a path."
Using her powers over earth and stone, the heroine dug a tunnel heading straight for the prize, intending to deal with obstacles as they'd encounter them. 15 (Ef) in Daughter of Gaea (Earth/Stone, Create/Manipulate, Area effect as needed) to create a tunnel heading towards the control room into the very ground of the asteroid.
1 in Speed to get moving.

You open up a hole leading straight down to the room with the cube.

"Let us not be careless", Illyana said, as she used the Power Cosmic to sense whether the Skrulls had set some sort of countermeasure(s) to prevent the theft of the Cube in place, and how to circumvent or disable them. 21 (Ef) in the Power Cosmic to do so.

You sense an emergency dimensional shunt designed to send anyone who tries to touch the cube into the Negative Zone.

"A proper trap indeed. Let me try to undo its effects", she said, attempting to use her cosmic powers to undo the effects of the dimensional shunt in question... while at the same time, keeping an eye - mystical, in case of illusory tricks - on her brother, just in case. As much as the Thor side of her wanted to trust his brother, the rest of her was not so trusting in the God of Mischief. 21 (Ef) in Power Cosmic to attempt to undo the security trick and negate its effects.
...while using 17 (Ef) in Entropic Sorcery to watch Loki's every move with more than my eyes alone in case of treachery. The idea is, I'm not letting him get his hand on the Cube before I do, just in case he had some other plans he's not telling me about.

You deactivate the field around the cube as Loki uses telekinesis to pull it to his hand simply.
