"They will go in a week." Pepper said as she was nearby too in order to see the new medical technology. John was happy about it as soon people will finally take a step to space. The only headache would be explaining the new machine animals on Mars.
But this would be handled by the world council as they have already been informed. The governments too got to know of it. Many governments even proposed to bring the machine animals back for research but Wayne was strongly against as they were required to maintain the balance. The people can only look or play with them.
Of course the governments have their own ideas of getting their hands on the new mechanical animals. John knew about all this but didn't care. The league and SHIELD had infiltrated enough for him to care. The purge will start soon and that would keep everyone in line.
Since there were already regeneration cradles built from before under the company of Dr. Helen Cho it would be easier for them to implement the new technology. Helen had already said that in almost two months many medical pods could be sent out to hospitals. John was more happy to hear this as soon the medical facility would be top notch for Earth. No more unusual deaths for them.
John knew that this new technology would rattle the medicine industry but he didn't care. Mandarin was an example for all of the big companies and he was sure that these companies would not be foolish enough to cross the Umbrella.
After a week the new people who had booked tickets went to Mars. The governments on their launch finally talked about the new mechanical animals that were on Mars. Actually they didn't want the normal people to go to Mars and even wanted to stop the expedition. Pepper then proceeded to threaten them with the images of Mars where there were animals grazing in open fields.
The governments buckled under the power of Umbrella and threat. They accepted the fact only on the promise that the scientists would be given access to Kryptonian ships present on Mars. Pepper agreed to it as they wouldn't be able to find out anything anyway as all were transformers by now.
The people of Earth were surprised by this revelation and many who had never played the game of Horizon Zero Dawn started playing it. This was advised by the governments itself. When the first images and videos emerged from Mars after the people landed, those people who didn't believe at first were now forced to believe it.
This whole incident again boosted his fan values by a lot as many started playing the game more seriously now to understand what was going on Mars. Of course the governments had also warned them to be gentle with the animals. Even though they weren't aggressive like in the game, it was told that the AI GAIA was always there looking at them so any kind of wrong doings would be informed to the higher authorities.
Of course after reaching Mars there were some people who didn't pay heed to it and GAIA let the animals teach a lesson to them. This too was recorded and sent for all the people to see. Those who had other ideas about them understood that any kind of assault on the animals must be thought of many times before being executed.
John too saw the new images and was happy to see that at least there was a little bit of greenery on Mars by now. Though it would take years to be like Earth, it was a start.
There was buzz of all this on the internet and again John's name was trending as he was the main person behind the game. Now many people wanted to go to Mars and even settle there as many saw this as a huge business opportunity. They directly contacted Umbrella about it. Umbrella announced that there were already planning on sending humans to Mars and colonising it.
People had already started flocking the company to send more people to Mars so that they could start the process soon. Umbrella had a hard time curbing the enthusiasm of the people. Like this two months went by and Umbrella finally announced the new med pods that could cure almost all diseases and injuries.
This shook the world once more. People didn't believe at first like always but when they saw med pods in hospitals being delivered and even reports of patients getting cured instantly they were forced to believe it. Many pointed out that the whole process looked like the Elysium movie which like many others was produced by John.
John like always was at the forefront of everything again and since the med pods actually affected both the poor and rich, he was hailed as Messiah to the normal people as he single handedly saved lives.
