LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 135: 131
I had a plan to try and force humanity to once again take to the stars but I wasn't certain I could achieve it. This was mostly due to what happened last time and honestly I didn't want to repeat that experience. Pulled from my thoughts an angry Fury glaring at me...
Fury: Mother fucker what the hell is your plan now?!
"It's just like I said something that can't be ignored..."
Fury: I didn't ask for riddles, I told you to tell me what you plan on doing!
"Just wait till the we get to the R&D department this will change the course of history for humanity and possibly the rest of the universe"
My was both simple but complex but to sum it up I was planning to make a counterfeit Traveler. The traveler from Destiny was impossibly expensive so I couldn't afford to summon it unless I got it as reward not that I ever intend to do so. The counterfeit traveler or C.T. was going to be very expensive burning through most of my points if not all. You may be thinking to yourself what was so expensive or how was it possible? Well it wasn't exactly one thing the first thing I needed was the blue print and notes of the Titan (Titan A.E.), solar matrix core (Starcraft 2), Stargate blue prints (Stargate sg-1), and Khaydarin crystals (Starcraft). Combine all that with Sith Alchemy, Eternium and Vibranium then my janky traveler would definitely be universe shaking.
Nadin was already waiting for me along with the rest of my scientific team. Miranda and Mechanika were already awaiting orders. For a while now we had Tali developing and producing various ships to encourage space travel. Yet even with everything that humanity has seen the desire was shown to be tepid at best. This meant that we needed to hold off until the desire was strong enough to reveal it to public. With the advent of the Thanagarian leaders and humanity joining hands the desire to develop earth made space travel stagnated. The thought was once we became close enough they would share such technology with humanity. This didn't mean everyone agreed but desire shrank from the general public.
I explained my plan and to say that they were shocked would be an understatement. Many species pride themselves on what they can destroy but I would astonish them with what we create.
Miranda: Is that even possible?
"It will be, because we will make it possible"
....
About a month and a half later the although there has been barely any news on what's been going on within the company a lot has changed. The Thanagarian empire is currently at odds with the world government but not yet outright hostile. It seems both sides don't want to completely alienate the other or come to blows. The world government finally realizes that the Thanagarians never had seen us equals and were looking to conquer subtly. They haven't tried to get physical due to the various pantheons protecting and claiming earth. Tensions have begun to mount on both sides and it won't be long before something breaks the peace.
During this time Black technology has had many visitors, Doom, Black Adam, Emma Frost and various other interested parties. Khandaq has sent a few tons of Eternium and I got plenty of Vibranium from the Savage land as well as Wakanda. Surprisingly Shuri was eager to aid us without complaint even before she knew what the project was about which made me wonder what her sister promised her. Although I was technically part of the project my main job was mostly pulling people away for a proper work life balance.
Seeing so many top minds eager to rejoin the project were forced to take breaks had many curious about what exactly they were working on. Reed Richard even tried to coax the answer out of Doom using their shared history trying to act like a concerned friend. Speaking of Reed his relationship with Susan has become almost completely nonexistent if not for the fact that he works at the Baxter building they wouldn't have any contact.
Captain Carter sightings have been steadily increasing as she been declared a deserter and a possible traitor to the crown. This forced her to leave Europe as sightings have her in south east Asia. Steve Rogers even requested my help in locating her and clearing her name as he himself can't because the Avengers official stance on the matter was to remain neutral. In other words they were amping up for the inevitable conflict with the Thanagarians.
The Justice League is currently divided according to Raven and a few sub branches even considering splintering off. This doesn't include the Titans mostly due to Batman's influence but even then there is tension as few members of the Titans are considering leaving and had to be talked down.
