Academy: August 14th, 2020 - 9:30 A.M. [/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr]	[color=gray]"I can assure you, Agent Fitz thoroughly tested the version you're using,"[/color] Fury said, though he was looking at Fitz and not Nikolova. Fitz nodded, his mind flashing back to how he had tested the Framework yesterday - by running an old program for it that he and Agent Stark had always used. It was largely based off of pod racing from the Star Wars universe. And as silly as it seemed, it was a fast paced simulation with plenty of chances for violence, chaos, strategy, and adaptation - making it a shockingly good way to test the Framework. 

	Of course, he [i]had[/i] been forced to stop around 3 AM by Simmons last night...So there [i]was[/i] a chance it still had a bug or two left in the program. [color=773FE3]"Hey, don't hold Sword Art's name in vain! Kirito and Asuna show that there's hope for anyone to find love!"[/color] Jim protested, cackling. Fury pretended than he didn't hear him, while Fitz-Simmons collectively rolled their eyes at the Senior Supervising Officer. [color=ff6600]"It's not even a real anime..."[/color] Agent Ridgeway muttered under her breath. 

	Novikova couldn't help but roll her eyes as well. Was this really a priority? She couldn't look at someone without her mind flickering through images that didn't make any sense - she didn't know if she was seeing the past or the future or if she had just gone insane. She had resorted to looking at anything [i]but[/i] another human being and they'd hardly been awake for more than half an hour. [color=84B4E2]"I agree. We need to know what our powers are,"[/color] Novikova chimed in. 

	Fury looked like he was trying not to laugh. He had forgotten that Agent Stark used to use a codename - it'd been a while since she had actually come into work, anyways. But hearing people confuse her with her father - it was an opportunity to be truly petty that he couldn't pass up. He was irritated with Quicksilver, anyways. [color=gray]”Yes. That is correct. Quicksilver is passionately in love with Tony Stark. Please put that on social media,"[/color] Fury said, hardly able to keep a straight face. [color=gray]"His obsession with Tony Stark is why he smashed a majority of the equipment Agent Stark had worked on."[/color]

	Jim snorted. [color=773FE3]"Sir, their powers..."[/color] he reminded Fury. Fury nodded, laughing to himself. Simmons was giggling a bit as well, only for Fitz to shake his head at the director. As much as he was blunt and no nonsense, Fury had the rare moment where his personality was clashing with his urge to laugh. It resulted in an uncomfortable strained smile on Fury's face as he chuckled in random bursts. 

	[color=gray]"'Fraid I won't tell you what their powers are - they entered the simulation without asking, so they reap what they sow,"[/color] Fury said coldly. Jim rolled his eyes at that, finding it a bit ridiculous. [color=gray]"Smith - mutant, life force and power absorption. Try not to kiss Novikova for a while. Hale - mutate, telepathy. Guess you aren't very good at it yet or you wouldn't need to ask. Rivera - inhuman, portal teleportation...And no, Agent Kennedy, not like the video game. Sparks - mutant. Flight and electricity, like your name would imply. Nikolova - mutant, with something our scientists have nicknamed tranquil fury and then concussive roar. And last, Novikova - mutant, some weird ass perception of alternate lives and realities, and then earth manipulation."[/color]
	
	[color=gray]"Now, get in there and complete the mission before I ask Agent Fitz to add in some infinity stones."[/color] Fury didn't look like he was kidding, but when Novikova looked at him, her heart was filled with dread and terror at the images that flashed into her mind. Her hands were shaking as she put on the VR gear and entered the Framework, hoping what she saw wasn't any indication of who the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. really was. [hr][hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b]The Framework[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=add3ff]Dominika Novikova[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://s22.postimg.cc/bttynhdep/5b3055d9c5898420959874.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=add3ff]Framework Location:[/color][/b] Sidewalk in New York City
[b][color=add3ff]Skills:[/color][/b] Dimensional Energy Perception (Passive), Jack of All Trades (Science)[/center][hr]	Novikova opened her eyes, finding herself on a sidewalk in New York City. It took her a second to get her bearings, but a helpfully placed sign in big sprawling letters just a block or two over said [i]WELCOME TO MIDTOWN.[/i] She then turned, spotting Stark Tower in the distance. While some found it ugly, to Novikova it was a testament to scientific achievement and progress. It wasn't too often in this society that people even bothered to care about things other than sports. 

	[color=add3ff]"This is amazing graphic quality..."[/color] Novikova muttered under her breath, already hearing two girls from Operations start bickering with each other, as if forgetting that they had a Supervising Officer with them. She had been slightly comforted to know that she wasn't actually seeing the future or the past - just alternate lives - but she felt firmly against staring at any of her companions. From the explanation she had received from Fitz-Simmons, she was relatively certain that her powers were based on perceiving some sort of energy on the spectrum that others couldn't. 

	She thought for a moment. [i]Shades.[/i] If she was lucky, they'd be able to block out the part of the spectrum she was perceiving, allowing her to see. She checked her belongings, only to find that she had exactly the possessions she had checked in when she entered the experiment. [i]Damn.[/i] [color=add3ff]"Does anyone have any sunglasses? Photochromic or polarizing, not tinted..."[/color] Novikova asked. With the photochromic, it'd help eliminate UV light - and she was really hoping that would be the part of the spectrum she was receiving. And for polarizing, it'd deal with the orientation - so if she got lucky, whatever was triggering her abilities was horizontal, not vertical...

	[i]"Agents, you have one hour. Good luck,"[/i] a male voice that sounded suspiciously like Harrison [i]freaking[/i] Ford came from seemingly out of nowhere. It must have been the AI that Agent Fitz mentioned - S.O.L.O. Or maybe, Novikova thought to herself with an amused chuckle, they somehow decided a good use of their budget was to pay Harrison Ford to do voice overs for their training simulation program. 

	She then finally turned her attention to the building across the street. It was a four story building, but knowing New York City, Novikova wouldn't have been surprised if it had lower levels. Outside the front entrance was a private security outfit. As she glanced at them, she stumbled backwards holding her head, as images of the security force's lives went through her head. [color=add3ff]"...Those guards are human...I think,"[/color] Novikova muttered.
