Hill: "Its footprint is all over the world - robot laboratories, armories, jet propulsion labs. These places have been pleading for help, saying that several metal beings came to their locations and cleared out their belongings."
Captain: "What about casualties?"
Hill: "Casualty count is zero, but the victims' minds have become bewildered. They speak of their deepest fears, and there's talk of a mysterious entity moving at such speed that it's almost invisible."
Captain: "The Maximoff siblings!"
Inside Avengers Tower, Hill, the agent who was called back by Tony to assist the Avengers, is briefing the Captain about the latest information on Ultron.
As they walk and talk, they eventually arrive at the conference room.
"Everyone, we've got new information on Ultron. It teamed up with the enhanced twins and raided numerous top laboratories worldwide, stealing valuable materials and equipments."
"After that, Ultron killed Strucker, and left the word "peace" on the prison walls using his blood."
The Captain summarizes the intel from Hill and shares it with all the Avengers present in the meeting room.
"But why would it do that? If it wants to declare war on us, it could do so directly without this elaborate plan. I think it's a diversion; Ultron wants to mislead us," Natasha expresses her opinion.
"Indeed, Strucker must have had some information that Ultron didn't want us to know," the Captain agrees.
"It seems to be the case. All data related to Strucker has been deleted by Ultron. We can't stop any of its actions in the digital world," Natasha confirms after checking the computer.
"No, Ultron didn't manage to delete all the data."
...
Inside the meeting room, Mark calls forth miniaturized magnetic axis robots to bring in a large stack of paper documents from the archives. These files contain information about Strucker. Apparently, traditional methods are still relevant in the new era.
The team works together to search through the extensive documents, and soon they find some clues that catch their attention.
"Ulysses Klaue. He has a strange brand on his neck," Thor says, holding up the file he found, looking puzzled.
By using a computer system's graphic comparison, Dr. Banner quickly finds the answer to Thor's question, "It's a native language from Wakanda in Africa, and it means 'thief,' with a strong insulting connotation."
"I think I know what was stolen from Wakanda," Tony confirms immediately after receiving the information from Banner.
"I thought your father, Howard, had taken everything," the Captain also realizes, looking at Tony with curiosity.
"What do you mean? I don't understand. What did Ulysses bring out from Wakanda?" Dr. Banner looks puzzled.
"The strongest metal in the world - Vibranium," the Captain says, taking his shield out of the capsule.
"Since that's the case, our target is clear. If we find Ulysses, we can trace Ultron's whereabouts and stop it from getting what it wants," Hawkeye proposes to the group.
The others exchange glances and express agreement with Hawkeye's suggestion, preparing to leave the meeting room to get ready for action. However, Mark speaks up and stops their movements.
"I feel that we shouldn't be led by Ultron's actions. We need to analyze the true purpose behind its series of actions. Only then can we stay one step ahead and utilize our advantage to the fullest."
"Now, the question is, why does Ultron snatch those precision equipment and rare materials from top laboratories? What does it want with the Vibranium in Ulysses' possession?"
"Ultron is constructing a new body for itself, not one like the current makeshift body for convenience, but a powerful one that can express its ideals, carry its consciousness, and embody its ideas."
"Ultron wants to prove its own strength and achieve ultimate evolution. Once it successfully completes the new body and transfers into it, it will become our most formidable enemy, stronger than all of us combined."
"By connecting all this information and key points, Ultron's course of action becomes very clear."
"Vibranium will serve as the perfect material for crafting its body, the gems in the scepter will act as the computational center for its thoughts, and the technology and personnel required to fulfill this ambition are none other than Dr. Helen Cho in Seoul, excluding both myself and my dad."
"Now, our available courses of action are very clear. The first option is to rush to Ulysses' hiding place and directly engage Ultron in a confrontation..."
"And the second option is to be fully prepared, lying in ambush at Dr. Helen Cho's laboratory, waiting for the careless enemy to enter the well-crafted encirclement."
"So, what do you all think?"
"Considering everything you've said, do we even have a choice? Even without your extraordinary wisdom, using our ordinary intellect, it's clear what the most favorable choice is.
Mark, you will be in charge of devising the ambush plan against Ultron.
Dr. Banner, your task is to contact Dr. Helen Cho and explain the current situation to her, urging her to evacuate the laboratory's researchers as soon as possible. We will provide her with a reliable hiding place.
The rest of you should get ready for battle. Hill, set the destination of the teleportation portal to a transmission node in Seoul."
After listening to Mark's analysis, the Captain also changes his initial viewpoint and accepts Mark's suggestions. They quickly adjust the action plan and assign tasks to everyone.
Upon receiving the Captain's orders, everyone immediately springs into action, proceeding with their individual tasks and preparations at their own pace.
"Old man, time is tight, and I need your help. After all, you only need to put on your Iron Man suit to be ready, without any preparation."
Mark directly calls out to Tony, who was about to leave, and asks for his assistance.
"You brat, is that how you ask for help? You make it sound like I have nothing to do, too. I have a lot of things to prepare for, you know!"
Tony appears quite annoyed after hearing Mark's request, but he stops his departure and walks over to Mark.
"Tell me, what do you need my help with? Considering the importance of this mission, I won't argue with you for the time being."
"This ambush mission against Ultron is quite special. Our task is not just to trap Ultron physically but also to cut off its connection to the virtual network.
Otherwise, if it discovers our ambush beforehand and transfers its intelligence through the digital world, we'll be powerless against it."
"Moreover, this time it's no longer a lone battle. The alliance between Ultron and the Maximoff siblings will undoubtedly cause us significant trouble. We need to plan carefully on how to restrain their abilities as well..."
