Sousa, LMD Coulson II and others in “Unfinished Business”

No. Is that... Little Ricky?

If by "Little Ricky" you mean General Rick Stoner, then yes. He's top brass at S.H.I.E.L.D. You knew him?

Yeah. I remember when he was an enlistee. Poor kid couldn't tell a mag from a clip.

Alright, thank you. Thank you for coming. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank all of you for being here today. I know that you are all excited to, uh, kick off S.H.I.E.L.D.'s next phase in global security. So please welcome the man responsible, my boss and our friend, Wilfred Malick.

Freddy's still alive.

Thanks, General. So good to be here. I got my start working in this gin joint, long before it was a S.H.I.E.L.D. asset. Look how far we've come. From hiding underground, keeping vigilant watch, to having eyes in the sky, ensuring the Earth's safety. Using targeting satellites and pinpoint laser telemetry, S.H.I.E.L.D. will now be able to neutralize hostiles anywhere in the world before they pose a threat.

This sound familiar to you?

Yeah. Sounds like Hydra's 40 years ahead of schedule.

I present to you... Project Insight.

So, these folks are secretly squids.

No, just a few at the top are Hydra. Most are loyal S.H.I.E.L.D., like Stoner.
