"This is unsightly." From inside the javelin, Myrene voiced her opinions, but her voice radiated absolute contempt as she did so. The "bug" was quite unattractive, with a dreary black exterior with neon red accents on several of its body components, particularly the wind shield on its head, which was constructed of red-tinted glass.
Who the hell creates these designs?
The enormous bug mecha slowly dropped the body to the earth by bending one leg outward. And as soon as the body reached the ground, the entire Transformers movie began to play. It slowly changed from a moving bug truck to a "big concert hall" as the MCV did its magic.
A concert hall, indeed. At least, that is how it seemed until it changed. The 'concert hall' had a circular helipad in the front. The structure had a half-oval-shaped dome at the end and a large open area with construction equipment on the sides for building machineries between the helipad and the dome.
Additionally, there were several chambers with doors leading to the yard beyond the oval-shaped dome. Though it appeared futuristic, he didn't think it was at all attractive. The patterns and colors were at least drastically off.
A woman emerged from one of the dome's doors and proceeded directly in the direction of Robin and the others.
Sigret muttered while placing her mouth next to Robin's ear.
"She is Nod's chief scientist, Dr. Elena Petrova."
Robin made a head nod. In front of Robin, the woman bowed deeply and got to her knees.
"Commander Supreme!"
Dr. Petrova was a graceful woman who stood around 5 feet 8 inches tall. As her name suggested, she was from Europe and most likely of Russian ancestry. Her shoulder-length blonde hair was on display. Despite the fact that she had bowed her knees in front of Robin to show her subservience, she exuded authority and dominance in the way she carried herself.
Robin told her, feeling humiliated.
"Dr. Petrova, you don't need to get on your knees in front of me."
"How on earth is that possible Supreme Commander? The most powerful person in our organization is you." She was still on her knees when Dr. Petrova began to speak.
"I am aware, but please don't stoop . We don't do that here." As he answered, Robin assumed the T'Challa persona. In actuality, this nation would be more developed than Wakanda, and he had developed beyond everything the fictional Black Panther could have hoped to achieve.
Dr. Petrova eventually looked Robin in the eyes after rising from her kneeling position.
She blushed when she glanced at Robin because, by worldly standards, he was fairly attractive and because of his charm. Dr. Petrova herself had a diamond face, Roman nose, broad lips, and keen eyes. She shone thanks to the flawless blending of all her features.
"We stopped here, Commader, but why? There are no Tiberium Crystals that I can see." Dr. Petrova could sense something wasn't right, but she couldn't place it. She emerged when the MCV was told to calm down, and she did so out of curiosity. She simply didn't anticipate the Supreme Commander to be there when she arrived.
In the game, Kane served as the Supreme Commander, but in this instance, she recognized Robin as the Supreme Commander, and as a result, she was permanently subject to his whims and commands. She was incapable of escaping from this because it was deeply ingrained in her mind.
"I brought you out from a different world Doctor. The Tiberium Crystals are not present here."
"No Tiberium Crystals? New world? I don't comprehend."
"Sigret explain her."
"Hai." Dr. Petrova was being dragged away by Sigret as she held her hand and explained to her how the new world operated as Robin and Myrene went through this icy valley. They could stroll around because the snow was not too deep.
Dr. Petrova returned after a half-hour explanation and now had more radiance in her eyes than when she had first left.
"Do you fully understand, Dr. Petrova?"
"Commander, yes. I'll exert every effort to give you power over this backward Earth."
When Robin heard those worlds, he became rigid. Sigret undoubtedly said some nasty things.
"I have no desire to be world ruler. That takes a lot of time and is uninteresting. What will I get if I conquer Earth? Manage it? Time waste. We will soon travel to space, where we can consider settling and possibly conquering new territory. Earth cannot offer us anything." For the first time, Robin voiced his opinion. It was 100% true.
There was nothing here, and conquering Earth would be simple and dull.
"So Commander, what do you want to do?"
"While I don't want to conquer the planet, I do want it to be a more peaceful place than it is right now. On this planet, a small group of people have all the power. This must be altered. People are capable of having powers, but they have a long history of abusing them. I wish to alter that."
"Commander, you will have to go to war for that."
"No, fighting only kills innocent people. I want to hit the leaders hard and make them feel the heat. I am aware that the Brotherhood has a variety of stealth technologies that might be used by both air and ground units. I want you to specifically make an army based on stealth."
"The goal of the elite team will be to enter the locations where the leaders live. Naturally, that doesn't imply that we will take a backseat. We need to address the issue of illegal drug usage and people trafficking in Africa, which is why I brought you here. We need an army for that."
"I am merely a scientist with a research section reporting to me, Commander. I'm not very skilled at military strategy."
"I want you to create devices that could conceal and camouflage our bases since I am aware of this. This outpost will be the Nod's most top-secret location and its main emphasis will be technology."
"Supreme Commander, I understand, but we lack the means. There are no Tiberium crystals in this place."
"Minerals and metals concentrated within the crystals themselves make up tiberia crystals. Correct?"
"Commander, it goes much beyond that. When those crystals are used correctly, the minerals can be drawn into our bodies and strengthen them."
"Yes, but that's dangerous. Is it not?"
In embarrassment, the doctor hung her head. She had been doing research on this topic for quite some time. She tried to figure out a way to transfer the crystals' extraterrestrial power into human bodies, but she was unable. Although using crystals properly may strengthen a person's body, doing so was toxic and fatal.
"I agree, Commander."
"I'm not interested in improving human bodies. For me, that is worthless. You may refine the necessary minerals and metals here to create all the different bases, and I will provide you with them. Is that clear?"
"Yes commander."
Robin, meantime, opened his laptop to retrieve additional metals needed for the construction of numerous factories and companies producing infantry, planes, and vehicles. They just needed soldiers and the aircraft industry in this situation. Introducing the automobile manufacturing system served no purpose. It was nearly impossible to enter or exit this valley using land vehicles because it was closed.
Robin instructed Doctor Petrova to create a list of objects, minerals, and metals for creating the necessary industries, such as the power plant, the refinery, the secret shrine, and the tech lab, in order to retrieve stuff.
They proceeded with Dr. Petrova to the construction yard. Robin entered and was shocked to discover numerous individuals sitting or conversing in white lab coats. While some simply spoke among themselves, others drank coffee.
Everyone rose from their seats as soon as Robin entered and yelled.
"Commander!!"
"At ease."
Dr. Petrova didn't pause; instead, she simply sat down at a computer to determine the elements needed, while Robin started to work by launching the game that would provide him with an unending supply of metals and minerals.
No Man's Sky.
The Commander's presence made the other scientists feel quite uneasy because they weren't expecting him. But Myrene and Sigret walked around the inside of the construction yard. Everyone in the room was taken aback by Myrene's outfit, and one brave guy dared to inquire about the stunning suit. She smiled and got out of the suit for these people to check on it.
When Dr. Petrova returned with the list of necessary items, he approved the list. He left the house holding the list in his hand. He had instructed JARVIS to open many saves of the game with access to various minerals on various planets while it was already open.
Names from rare metals including tritium, plantinum, cadmium, and other uncommon elements were on the list. The materials were transported in bulky luggage. These metals were never taken out separately before as they were always kept in the inventory. However, it appears that his power enabled the metals to be extracted in the shape of sizable boxes of partially processed materials.
