Apollo smirks in response to Johnny Nitro, “Thanks man, I am sort of just making this all up as I go along.”
“Wait I think he is saying that our sensors will be able to see his ship, this is exactly what we want. Obviously he assumes that the craft cannot see him, so to facilitate possible extraction we would need to see his craft. I am willing to take the gamble here guys… either way trust me on this,” he adds brushing his long hair back from his face.
“Transmit this message: Proceed Lord Ares, we will contact you once the data is analyzed.” Apollo replies, "End Transmission."
Apollo smirks shaking his head, “This is going to be a fun gig.”

"Looks like we don't have much choice," Hope mutters, relaxing a little. As she relaxes, the storm-fire fades, though her hair and eyes still remain white, an stark reminder of the forces she unconsciously taps into when under stress. The power she wields is at times both volatile and unpredictable.

"I look forward to it," Ares says before signing off.
The data is quite extensive, with history and inside information about military and technological advances in recent history, as well as his various exploits and the wars he has started and stoked. It is about as complete an encyclopedia of war as you've ever seen or heard of, and probably has a lot of information that the Trust does not.
The information on Barrington is interesting. Ares first found out about Barrington and his potential in a message he received from his old friend Hades, a powerful mutant and old ally who also took on the worship me schtick, but who had since been banished to another dimension.
Using a technological disguise developed from his cloaking technology, Ares also posed as Thor, and was worshipped by certain Nazis, other than Krieglock/Barrington, who knew the truth. In fact, it was Barrington's idea, and he used his connections to "Thor" for great effect.
Most recently, Barrington really was referred from the Foundry, as Ironblood said, even though Barrington did already know Ares/Voderac. Ares provided weapons and planning for all five terrorist attacks that day. Most interesting is the one you came looking for, the operation in Israel that did NOT seem to lure any Freedom Leaguers away.
It seems that the mission entailed 25 Hamas terrorists led by the radiation-based super Hiroshima Shadow. Ares/Voderac provided armored radiation suits for the whole crew, as well as blasters, poison gas, and grenades for each and numerous specialized pieces of equipment mainly for breaking through security and armored buildings. The plan was to raid the nuclear reactor and research facility at Dimona, steal technological data and possibly actual nuclear weapons or related parts, and then Hiroshima Shadow would use his radiation powers to alter the reactor to melt down. Ares provided maps and other operational advice.
This is of course not what ultimately happened. Instead, Hiroshima Shadow was captured after nuking to charred bones about a couple dozen unidentified individuals in an apartment complex, then housed somewhere being neutralized by that radiation absorption technology that Barrington wanted for his tower and that the mystery super (who you guys forgot to scry for by the way) uses for her suit.

Apollo leans against the wall, “Well I am not sure what to make of this, I am not up to speed on your missions and stuff; but it sounds like Lord Ares and Barrington have been long time chums. Working with Nazis, fomenting wars, and my personal favorite funding terrorism… these guys are Class A Jackasses.”
Apollo switches gears, “So do all super women look this good in their costumes?” His eyes appraising each of his female comrades, settling on Shooting Star at the end; he grins, “A guy could get used to this.”

"So Hiroshima Shadow enters Isreal with about 25 guys, is supposed to cause a reactor meltdown, but is caught in an apartment building with a couple dozen nuked guys before anything like that happens? A couple dozen sounds a lot like 25. How many missing Isrealis are there?" Star asks.
"Now what do we do?" she looks to Mr. Black.
I know I'm not... Wait, I guess if he wants to date me, then he wouldn't be teasing me or just including me out of politeness, right?

"Well if we didn't, it'd be even more embaressing to wear skin-tight suits if you had bulges in the wrong places," Hope quips and sobers as she peruses the information.
"Alright, anything on what Barrington is planning to do with whatever machine he's building? We know it's going to be ultimately destructive and tied to magic in some way." she grimanced at some of the things Ares as pulled, not suprising, given who he chose to emulate.
God of war indeed.

"Well, not exactly. He would have probably met up with the 25 separately, since he'd be coming from somewhere else in the world, while the 25 would be some combination of already there or just crossing the borders from the territories. Many could have had work permits or somesuch. I'm sure Barrington could provide fakes easily. There are far more than 25 missing persons in the country, so these could be among them, but there isn't some big group of 25 that disappeared just then.
The only bodies they have identified conclusively and released were the owners of the three-bedroom apartment -- an Arab family -- citizens, native born -- consisting of a widower and his two adult sons."
