4 Operation Cipher : Initiation

Ring! My phone rang and I saw that it was from the Oscar committee. "Yeah, tell me," I spoke and the other side was a cheerful voice.

"Mr. Witwicky, we would like to invite you to the Oscars this year as the Co-Host. Disney's CEO has recommended you and you have been nominated for the Oscars in the category of best scriptwriter." The voice said and I agreed.

Thus a few weeks passed as I went down to Hollywood. The people who worked in the film industry knew me by my pen name, Trixx.

So, when I landed in Hollywood, I was greeted by Disney's CEO Micheal Eisner. "You need not have come, Micheal. You had that meeting with Stan, didn't you?" I asked and Micheal shrugged.

When I got hold of one-third of Disney, I practically absorbed Marvel Entertainment when it merged with Toy Biz in 1998 to start early production of superhero movies. Disney first partnered with them and bought Marvel's assets.

These Disney guys faulted Stan's fees for 3 years and I repaid Stan Lee every cent that Disney owed him and offered him a contract to keep working with Disney. Stan Lee's family was delighted and even invited me to dinner, but alas time did not permit. 

I told Stan that I would stop by later. "We put the celebrities into the Beverly Wilshire. Well, the money was from your pocket and I know it's not going to affect you much. A few celebrities requested to meet with you including J.K Rowling and the Harry Potter trio." My handler said and I chuckled.

"Not much of a cost my friend. I am the owner of the Regent Hotel Group, along with the Four Seasons chain of hotels. Thus, the owner of Beverly Wilshire too." I said and everyone was stunned but Micheal shook his head.

"You never stop for a moment, do you?" he asked and I grinned. "However, Micheal. Is such an entourage required?" I asked and Micheal nodded with seriousness.

"The President along with the Chief of Staff have decided this for your protection. You have given the United States the best surveillance systems and security systems ever seen. 

 Your sensory systems have also played a huge role in the front lines as the U.S. Military has lost fewer personnel on the front lines. You have pissed off Senators, defense contractors, and gang leaders. So, the president assigned you a special entourage. I do not know the specifics but I think they will brief you. I will take my leave now." Micheal said as he went to handle his duties and a soldier armed with a M16 came and gave me a salute.

I greeted him with a salute and thanked him for his service. The M16 was a better assault rifle than the AK47 due to lesser recoil during auto fire and better accuracy. But the name AK47 has a gravitas which the M16 did not. They probably did not think much about the name.

"Sir, a team of six snipers has been assigned and is ready to protect you. I shall be with you anytime you head outside the hotel. We also have a team of drones to provide surveillance and intel on activity. Sir, I would like to thank you for protecting our families in the States with your technology while we do our jobs on the front lines' sir." He said and I shook my head.

"Semper Fi, Captain. I may not be in the army or navy, but I can only look after them when you are out there protecting us out there." I said and the captain nodded with a smile.

The entourage moved and headed to the Beverly Hills. 

Beverley Wilshire Beverley Hills Hotel

 The celebrities were relaxing at the expensive hotel and they had one man to thank for it, Samuel James Witwicky. He put them in the hotel and even paid the bill himself.

The richest man in the world. He was a defense contractor for the Military, an Investor, and a computer genius. He was also the Owner of Infinite Corp. and a game developer. He owned high stakes in almost all sectors and most of all, he was also a scriptwriter.

He wrote scripts for Disney movies like The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and Cars. The merchandise was also very popular with children and people alike.

He was also a Martial Artist trained in Karate, taekwondo, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, MMA, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jutsu. This was all that he had revealed.

His company had the best VFX (Visual Effects) and CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) equipment and owned chains of movie theaters across the World.

All of the work was handled by very few but capable people working in his company, the Infinite, but their identities have been hidden so that they can live their private lives. 

Sam's POV:

The Oscar arrived and I received the award for the best scriptwriter which was well received by the masses as they cheered me on.

I was on a tight schedule since I had meetings one after the other. The umbrella under Infinite Corp had expanded significantly as I now had domination over the IT sector, Automobile sector, Aerial Defense systems, weapon industry, Telecom, pharmaceuticals, Entertainment, and most importantly government contracts.

Most of the contracts around the world were being given to the companies under me yet this fact was unknown by the Government. Every profitable stock was being handled by Skye so I had nothing to worry about. 

With five more years until the Autobots arrived, I started to improve my influence far and wide. With applications like YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter, I was able to spread my influence further within the public. I placed people within the government agencies with my trusted men.

I opened charitable organizations for the military, where 200 million USD were being donated annually across the U.S. States.

With YouTube, I was able to show the country how brave our military on the front lines were and this moved patriotism among millions. The average donation towards the military came around to be 200 million USD and this money went towards improving the military and marine bases in the U.S.

To provide education for the children of our soldiers and to provide a safer environment for the soldiers' families. 

What started as a small fan following on Instagram and Facebook blew up with many celebrities and world leaders following me and befriending me on Instagram and Facebook. If you excluded these people, many ex-convicts of the United States and policemen followed me.

A few days ago, I put forward a bill that helped review cases faster and reduced the pressure on the United States Judiciary system. A simple greeting boomed up!

Since most convicts were imprisoned unjustly or due to petty crimes and corrupt politicians, every state could have a panel of retired judges who were at the top of their fields. They could simply review these cases and use software developed by me which had the entire judicial laws within it.

It was an online repository of the law and thus the law could be accessed by just about anyone. This was helpful for the men in uniforms. 

The people who had been imprisoned unjustly were given support by the Infinite Reformatory Groups. This helped them reconnect with families, provide counsel, and help reform and change the trajectory of their lives.

Biker Gangs that just wanted to ride bikes without getting into criminal activity were given a chance to become patrol officers and help people in need. They would have to volunteer for such duties.

Biker stops were built near police stations so that biker gangs involved in patrolling could give their reports to the police. However, the police were to not break the law for the biker gangs.

However, with Instagram, as I promoted the social work that the Biker gangs did in aiding our law enforcement officers, people began to warm up to the gangs. This was the start of the patrolling Volunteers of Law and the Patrolling Bikers. 

Bikers who wished to ride at night were given electric motorcycles developed by Tesla and Harley Davidson in a joint endeavor, but they would have to pay a small fee for renting the bikes at night.

This was so that they would not disturb the wildlife and human populations around them. However, they were asked to stay away from mountainous areas to prevent attacks by wild animals.

At this point, people were starting to incline more toward electric vehicles since they understood the potential implications that petroleum had on the environment. The bikers across the country formed a United States Biker Federation and made me its head in a unanimous decision. I had no choice but to accept when thousands of bikers showed up at my doorstep. 

Meanwhile, Skye had been taking control of Sector Seven systems. She was developing energon-based weapons in an independent supply chain and I was receiving news on every major decision that was being discussed. Condensing my energon, my purple core was created. Right now, I am stabilizing my energon core.

The core would absorb energon even when I am not focusing since it acted as a reservoir.

We still had so much to do for development which Skye was working on advancing the Cipher front. She had already got her hands on NBE-1, which was Megatron's database. None of the Government's assets could escape Skye's reach.

She had also started analysis of Megatron's memories and spark which would give us an edge. Operation Cipher would take two more years to complete.

I think it is time for me to head to the Tomb of the Primes and pay the primes my respect.

"Skye. Petra, off the books." I gave the command and Skye began preparations to arrange a chartered plane. One whiff of the bots and S7 agents would be on my tails.

After all, I was manipulating them from the shadows. It wasn't like S7 could touch me. Most of S7's funding is through the Government and the Government raises funds through investors like us.
