Technomancer in MCU

UN General Assembly Hall, New York

–Ed–

"As for your question regarding the display of our strength. Well, trust me when I say this that what you have seen is not even a third of our total strength. Secondly, the goals of our organisation are as straightforward as I said earlier. The goal is to help humanity. The way that I think is going to be the no-nonsense route would be better surrounding for humanity, i.e. healing the planet and making sure that any unruly visitors from outer space don't end up destroying human society as we know, well, that is the goal, at last until our society, as a whole, is capable of doing that on their own."

"Do you have anything that can support your claims?"

"You mean, something like the literal invasion that happened recently?" That question shut up one of the French delegates who was interrupting him.

"Foolish questions aside, we will actually be sharing basic information packets regarding the overall scenario of the galaxy we reside in. I had done the same when I had first met the US President but will do so again since international information exchange seems to be nonexistent to me."

All eyes went towards President Elliot whose face darkened even more at the implied failure. He was sure that Elliot hated him more than anybody in this room at the moment and if he didn't know for a fact that Elliot had absolutely no chance of remaining President for long, he would not have blatantly provoked and angered him in such a manner.

"We have received reports from the deceased Director Fury that you have access to spaceships and he even suggested the truly absurd idea of you having some sort of launch pad on the moon. Is that true?"

He nodded and replied, "Yes, it is true. We do have a base of operations on the moon since nobody actually owns it and as one of the first humans to have the capability, we built a base on it. And we do own multiple spaceships and have travelled extensively throughout the galaxy using them and No, I will not be selling those. A previously given commitment to President Elliot will be fulfilled when I send a representative to NASA as well as all the other major space-faring organisations in hopes of talking with them to find out the best way you could use our infrastructure academically, not militarily. In fact, the carriers that you can see if you go out are all capable of traveling through space. They just don't have the FTL technology required to make them viable for intragalactic travel."

Shocked silence was all that could be seen in the hall at his reply. It was understandable since he had just given them an understanding of just how far ahead they were and how laughable any sanction they could put on him, would be. Essentially, he had won the race or marathon and all of them would have to struggle to even catch up to the current him, let alone the level he would reach by the time they managed to become capable of traversing the space around them.

"Next question, please?" Daisy said. The whole hall was silent as it was still processing the magnitude of the words he had said before. Only one of them regained their bearings fast enough to respond.

"Yes, I would like to ask about any chance of an exchange, technological or military, that could happen between us as a nation or as an organisation. I would also like to add that this could help add a layer of legitimacy to your organisation that could help open more doors for you," President Vladimov said in the mic that suddenly appeared in his hand with an interested gleam in his eyes. Credits to him though, since he didn't even flinch when that happened even though his own security definitely did.

Ah, what a typical question from a Russian. As for his question, "Out of the question. We are working on an initiative that could help us establish bridges when it comes to the science of healing but even that is ripe with opportunities for abuse and as such, we will not be dealing in any technology that has potential for military applications and while I do realise that almost any sort of technology has a military application, I myself believe that even showcasing that something is possible, is dangerous since us humans have an uncanny ability to make imagination reality." 

Whatever President Vladimov was about to say got stuck in his throat as President Elliot uttered a question, "Are you?" With the entire room's attention on him, he cleared his throat and reiterated, "Are you human, and more importantly, the ones we saw in the video, are they human?"

Ah, he could see Elliot's play here. He wanted to separate the enhanced ones from humans and play on the mass mentality here, negating any sort of public relations advantage the Ascendency might have had before going into this meeting. Truly, no politician is clean.

"Let me stop you right there. I am human. The people you see in the video are humans as well. Everybody in the world has seen aliens and while there are species that look remarkably similar to us, I am sure that by now everybody can at least recognise humans and no, the people with their powers does not make them aliens or different from humans in any way. They are just a subset of humanity that will be accepted as such." Ed replied vehemently, clearly passionate about the subject.

The President was taken aback at the intensity of the reply but before he could get a word in, Ed continued, "As a matter of fact, today I am going to introduce all of you to someone who you might try to term as an outsider but they are humans just like you me, with just a tiny bit extra to make them even more special. Let me introduce you to the subspecies of Inhumans." He then gestured to an empty space beside him where a golden portal opened up, courtesy of Alfred, and Black Bolt and Medusa came out of it, all decked out in their traditional royal attire. They nodded and sat down on the hard light chairs that appeared underneath them.

"So, let me give you guys a bit of a history lesson. Back when Humanity had nobody, like yours truly, to protect it from advanced species like the Kree, it was visited by said advanced warlike species. They had come in the hopes of using the then-humans as experimental subjects to help them develop super soldiers of their own. You see, they were in a thousand-year war that had already destroyed multiple habitable planets and billions in lives so they were pretty desperate for a trump card to help end the war and destroy their opponents once and for all. So, they experimented on ancient Humans and actually succeeded in creating a new breed of Super soldiers but they succeeded a little too well and in the end, Humans, as we do when there is injustice done to us, rose in rebellion and managed to destroy the outpost. Some stayed to take over the outpost and some ran away. Unfortunately, the Kree sent in something bigger on the food chain and they destroyed the Inhumans that stayed at the outpost, thinking that they successfully destroyed all traces of the experiments and then left. The surviving ones established a hidden colony on the planet and have remained hidden since then. Until now."

He then said while gesturing to Black Bolt and Medusa, "They are the current King and Queen of the New Attilan settling of Inhumans and yes, their residence is hidden and its secrecy is enforced by us so I would advise that you don't look for them but I know you'll try anyway so all the best to you for that."

Black Bolt cleared his throat and he could see Daisy flinch minutely in fear of the suppressor failing and Black Bolt essentially destroying the UN building since he had become even more powerful after being able to speak properly and overcoming his mental blocks that had been created in his childhood, "Greetings. I am Blackagar Boltagon and I am the King of New Attilan. We have been historically calling ourselves as Inhumans but as Ed rightfully pointed out, we are anything but. We are just a subspecies of Humanity and should not forget that. As a step in that direction, we have collectively decided to call ourselves T-metahumans, T indicating the Terragenesis process we have to go through in order to gain our powers. Now, I am sensing a lot of questions that could be thrown our way and I understand your curiosity but as I understand it, Alfred and Ed here have an announcement that would be immensely helpful and make all this questioning moot." He then sat back while gesturing to Ed, as the mic appeared in front of Ed.

"You would be correct. Alfred, if you could do the honors."

"Yes, my Lord," Alfred replied as a huge hard light screen depicting a standard web browser opened up for all the diplomats in the room to see appeared in the center. On the screen, a textbox appeared that displayed the words - Alfred GPT.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we introduce you to our very first public outreach line that would be made available to anyone with an internet connection. The first users will be you guys and I hope you guys find all the answers that you would need from us. It will all be available on the website - "AlfredGPT.com". Now, we have a lot of work to do ahead of us so bye now." Daisy said in a very showman spirit as a portal opened up and began sliding towards them horizontally, effectively swallowing them. He could also see Alfred give out the order for the superclass carrier to become visible for all of Earth to see and for the Ascendency logo to become extra large for all the satellites to catch its size. Truly, Alfred was insidious. He was sure that some people in the military were going to shit their pants and the engineers and nerds were going to cream their pants once they realised the tech it was holding and how it was effectively a large city. Especially since they would be getting all the information they needed from Alfred's chatbot. Honestly, he had no hope of it working but human loneliness could be a dangerous thing that could make humans extremely desperate so he could give it a shot and see if anybody was foolish enough to use it regularly, outside of the intelligence people whose very jobs depended on it.

The cries of the people hoping for them to stay went unanswered as they appeared in the control room of the Supercarrier with Jake dutifully waiting for them.

"Welcome aboard everyone, the mission was a success and we have successfully neutralised the Dreaming Celestial, Tiamut."

Yeah, and there was that. Finally, he could rest easy knowing that the planet-destroying parasite was now safely inert.
