The corridor of course was state of the art just like everything else in the facility but that didn't mean it had to look like the agency had no taste. It added a nice bit of a rustic look that seemed a bit more homely than many of the other more stark and spartan, no frills metallic looking facilities. A larger looking agent with black hair and quite a bit of muscle on him and a younger and slimmer blond walked as they talked about various things of interest. When two low level agents were together with no superiors around they usually had quite a bit to say. The slimmer blonde started first. "I've heard we're getting a [i]Christmas[/i] present this year, heard anything about that?" The larger agent scratched his chin as he tried to remember. "Heard it was some kind of update to our uniforms to distinguish us easier from the normal SHIELD agents. At the moment all that really separates us from them is location and our little SWORD emblems." He palmed the emblem on his chest and traced the outline for a moment. The emblem had a circle, with some that looked kind of like a dagger starting near the bottom them pointing up through the top of the ring; it did kind of look like a sword with the outline of perhaps a planet behind it. "An update? So like some new equipment woven into it?" "Heh I wish, we don't get that many new toys since most of our budget is going into that space base while the rest of the toys still go to SHIELD first. I think it was just a color change, from black to dark green." "Dark green? Well guess I know who came up with that idea." The blond chuckled as his green haired superior flashed through his mind for a moment. "Heh, I guess that's true, heard that she might be up for a promotion soon, could even be the next head of SWORD! Ya know, what I wouldn't give for some one-on-one time with that lady, if ya know what I mean." The larger agent winked and nudged his comrade with an elbow, who couldn't help but cringe a bit. "She's your type Bartholomew? Eh, can't see what's so good about her, she seems way to cold and pure business for me. Plus all that green is just...like she's a plant or something, kind of weirds me out!" "Bah, you just have no taste in women, she's got a heart of fire that one! I bet your type is those girly girls who love baking and dressing up and stuff. You're a bloody agent! Have a sense of adventure. Meh looks like we're here." They stopped their conversation as they stepped into a side room with a glass window where one of the agents was interrogating a man that was caught on the premises. There were two other agents standing outside of the windowed room on guard. They nodded as the two went in and left their posts to the two new arrivals. The blonde agent tried to get a good look at the man inside, he was fairly average looking, with brown hair, a white blazer, shirt, light brown trousers, brown belt and shoes. It was certainly odd how such a man could have found the facility. "Wish I could hear what they were saying, this is the most action I've seen in a while." "Believe me, its better when there is [i]no[/i] action. This alien tech can be downright terrifying!"[/indent] [b][u]S.W.O.R.D Nevada Base/Interrogation Room[/u][/b] [indent]Walter Larson had been caught sneaking onto the premises and taken into custody. He had tracked the trace negative particles from the Sentry's power core to this location but even his tracker could not effectively pinpoint a location inside the facility. This lead to a problem, either he had to sneak his way through the entire base and hope he could find the Sentry and get it away in time, or he could try to get the humans to lead him there so he could fix things. He knew even if he managed to find it on his own he would have had no choice but to reveal his true identity in the process and probably become SWORD's most wanted criminal, so a gamble on humanity was his choice. Walter Larson had given himself up and was currently being interrogated. A hardened looking agent stared down at Larson from across the desk where he was currently handcuffed. "So tell me again Mr. Larson, how did you find this facility?" [color=8dc73f]"I told you, I've been following the path of negative particles. I was present during the Kree attack a short time ago and I've been researching them ever since. Following that explosion I was able to isolate an unknown particle and noticed there was another source on earth but by the time I found it SWORD had already taken it away."[/color] This was of course completely bogus, another at the explosion site was completely different from the very special reactor Sentry 459 had but as humanity had very little information on them and they could verify that he had in fact been on staff at the location, there was a sense of validity to his story. [color=8dc73f]"I tracked it to here and I believe the device to be very dangerous, please you need to let me help you take care of it before something happens!"[/color] The agent glared, obviously not buying his baloney for a second. "Sure, because a giant hunk of metal is so dangerous, and how would you know that Mr. Larson? Do you have evidence this particle is dangerous? How did you managed to get here undetected? Where is your ride? You sir, are one of the most suspicious people I have eve seen! I'm going to call my superiors to see what we should do with you." The agent reach for a phone hanging on the side of the desk and brought it up to his ear, all while keeping an eye on his captive. Larson groaned, he knew it wasn't going to be easy but there had to be a way to get to the Sentry. [color=8dc73f]"Look I know I'm sketchy but I'm sure you need every available resource to figure this thing out, as one of the few people who had directly interacted with this technology I have experience you severely lack."[/color] The agent ignored him and made the call.[/indent] [b][u]S.W.O.R.D Nevada Base/Underground Hangar[/u][/b] [indent]I looked at the large object, this Sentry 459. It was huge to be sure but there was nothing really too it other than the designation number. Even after reading the text I still had no clue what it actually was. [color=00a651]"So anything you can tell me other than its name?"[/color] Agent Brand asked as she stopped over beside me, her heels clicking on the floor causing a bit of an echo in the mostly empty hangar. I shook my head. [color=fff200]"Afraid not, maybe if I examine it a bit more but its not like I can just pick out the information in my head, it just kind of flows into me at random when I interact with anything Kree."[/color] Brand raised a green eyebrow in irritation. [color=00a651]"I've had agents crawling all over this thing, even tried to crack it open with diamond tipped-drills but the diamonds lost their edge before making a dent. I'm hoping that you get a sudden bout of inspiration or else we might just have to blow our way through it's shell just to get an idea what we're dealing with."[/color] As soon as she finished beep sounded and Abigail put a hand up to her ear where I guess was a hidden earpiece. I couldn't hear what was being said on the other end but I could see Brand was interested in whatever it was. [color=00a651]"So Ms. Marvel, I've gotten word that a Walter Larson has been found trying to locate our little package here."[/color] My stomach dropped, I had a very uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Walter was here? What was he doing here and how was he connected to the Sentry? I hadn't seen him in months and how he just suddenly pops back up, once again involved in something I had been roped into. [color=00a651]"If I remember correctly he was present during your abduction though he disappeared off the radar for quite a while. Now he shows up here? Obviously he knows quite a bit more about what's going on and I have a feeling you do too. I heard that you two were fairly close."[/color] I could feel Agent Brand's cold gaze dig right into my soul, it was a good thing I had military experience or I might have wilted under her mere presence. Still, it was impossible to get rid of the weird feelings swirling around in my stomach. The thought of perhaps meeting him again after so long was both enticing, and terrifying? What was I going to say? How was I going to react to the man who had been such a close part of my life but who was actually an enemy agent? Would I yell? Punch him? Cry? I really had no idea but I did know he would once again be the key to this recent dilemma. [color=fff200]"Listen, Agent Brand, I know you can't trust him, heck even I don't really trust him these days, but I think we may need to take a chance on him."[/color] [color=00a651]"So you're saying we should bring him down to have a look?"[/color] Brand sounded like she disapproved but I continued on anyway. [color=fff200]"Look, keep him under tight security, but he did help save my life back then, so let's give him a chance."[/color] Frankly I couldn't believe what was coming out of my mouth! Give him a chance after everything that happened? I desperately didn't want to give him another chance, I even wanted to hate him, but I just couldn't. My gut was telling me, despite my wishes, that he could be trusted to help out. Brand stared at me hard, but seeing my mind was made up decided to relent and called for the boys upstairs to send Larson down under guard. The die had been cast while the knots in my stomach grew ever tighter as I turned back to the Sentry and put a hand on the smooth surface. Without warning a blue light appeared around my hand and a part of the object transformed in front of my eyes to reveal what appeared to be computer panel and green symbols appeared on the screen. [color=00a651]"Well that's new, it never reacted to any of us, must be that Kree DNA of yours coming through again."[/color] Brand quickly started to study the panel and asked me the obvious question, [color=00a651]"What does it say."[/color] As soon as the symbols made sense to me the blood started to drain out of my face as I realized I had really screwed up. [color=fff200]"Well...it says Unknown Kree access attempted, provide security code or defensive measures will be engaged."[/color] Brand cursed and activated her earpiece again. [color=00a651]"Control, activate emergency measures SWORD Delta, things are about to get hot down here."[/color] She clicked it off then asked me a question I could tell she already knew the answer too. [color=00a651]"I don't suppose you have a clue what that security code is?"[/color] I just shook my head and watched as a countdown timer appeared on the panel while alarms sounded in the facility and the area was soon flooding with activity as agents scrambled to their posts and readied their weapons. [color=00a651]"Get the heavy equipment down here, we're going to need some serious firepower if this thing turns hostile!"[/color] I stared down the Sentry's control panel but other than knowing what was on the screen as well as the buttons, no other useful information was coming, probably the only chance we had to prevent a disaster was Larson, but from the countdown timer of 2 minutes 38 seconds, I doubted he could make it in time. I was probably going to see first hand just what this Sentry 459 could do and I doubted it was going to be fun. [color=fff200]"My day certainly just took a turn for the worse, and I'm not even home!"[/color][/indent]
