Chapter 22

after a long and frustrating conversation with Fury, we successfully obtained me and locked me away behind twenty feet of concrete and rebar with only one way in. was this necessary, no, but I had annoyed me.

[You have contained me (&$&@*

ANOMALOUS INTERFERENCE DETECTED...

I simply nodded in satisfaction. Some things were worth the most simplistic option. I instead pulled out a small USB drive that I had personally received from one of the Shield-Bearers. according to his report, it was the remote satellite access codes for every satellite on Shield's network. did I expect it to be even slightly close to all of them, not even a little bit, especially not any of Hydras. this still gave us satellite tracking and surface imaging, and using it, we could even piggy back any Shield communications that relied on their satellite system.

I handed the drive off to the tech department as soon as I arrived back on base. within moments, we had the access codes uploaded to our systems.

I was reading reports, and each one was a bit boring, but one of the larger ones caught my eye. apparently, one of the agents of Cordycepts managed to get close to Hope, and through her Hank, after spending some time with them, he was able to secretly download a virus to Hanks personal computer. now we had the information we needed to begin construction of the Ant Man suit, although we were missing the pheromone controllers to control the actual ants.

still, even without the controller, we still had shrink tech as well as the formula for the Pym-Particle.

"Get every unnecessary scientist working on this, I want our task forces equipped with it by the end of the week with enough particles in stock to last another month." I instructed

with a quick nod, the swarms of researchers dispersed, already beginning to read as my system informed me

[Technology acquired for research

Ant-Man suit Mk1- 0%

Pym-Particle- 0%

Both sets of Hank Pyms Shrink Tech are in your possession. Upon completion, the rescorses needed to create Shrink Tech from Hank Pym will be reduced by 15%. This bonus only applies to current technology and will not apply to technology developed in the future unless those technologies are also acquired]

ooohhh, technology came in sets? my gamer completion compulsion suddenly reappeared briefly, despite its last appearance being in his last life where it had made him complete one hundred percent of Breath of the Wild without looking up a single guide.

no, no, no, as many no's as was needed. I was not going to be an obsessive tech collector scouring the universe for every bit of technology.... unless it wasn't too far out of my way.

I entered the meeting room where the other Foundation Heads were looking at a live video footage of the coordinates we had received. displayed was what was supposed to be a decommissioned Shield site. nothing was moving across the surface, but I knew better, Shield built like ants. their bases had dozens and even hundreds of sublevels, and Hydra built even more below that. so while the abandoned looking compound might look around the size of a large high school, I knew that beneath it all was countless corridors and brainwashed soldiers.

"Is the object complete?" I asked

"Yes, Sir," the Overseer replied. "It is fully operational," he continued as he handed me a metal block with a small dome attached that could open and close

"Do we have confirmation that the target is on site?" I followed up

"Yes, sir. satellite imaging shows he arrived thirty-four minutes ago. " The reply came instantly from one of the techs working the satellite

"Perfect, gather every member of MTF Nu-7. We are moving in a week so long as something doesn't change, " I said before heading down to my office

A/N

a bit of a shorter chap, but we're going into our first full on Foundation assault in the next couple of chapters, so I think this small chapter is necessary for some setup
