Yeah, the sun is high already, I was a bit lazy after having a productive week. I was right I had plenty to integrate Cypher and Sage's genes. I then added Ciphers after my next visit with the Murlocks. Although at first it felt like a moral dilema like with what I did with Trask and Genosha, but I went ahead with the death row plan.
Trask and Genosha I could justify in my head as a preemptive strike, because they are the biggest threats to my kind and even regular humans were greatly affected by the Sentinels. The inmates however were a different story. They may be sentenced to die, but I was still stealing years out of people I wasnt and will never be involved with. So yes I keep justifying what is essentially murder and I have to remember that lest I turn into a monster.
It has been put to use, I've been secretly cleaning up operations of The Hand, local criminals probably associated with Wilson Fisk, and even a few small time crooks. Always invisible, and using my new found hacking prowess and financial acumen (I really have no idea where I got that from probably some trader it is NY...) I would go in cripple them financially and steal years out of them. Several times I would quickly incapacitate them and call the police. I always made sure that there wasn't some sort of sting operation in any of the databases I had access to.
The worst ones I've stumbled across though, weren't pretty. Rapsists and traffickers around NY may have started getting some non contagous diseases. I bet some statistician is having a meltdown with the increase in cancer, gout, lupus, MS, HIV, and the like. I have seen too much of the underbelly and frankly its scary knowing whats all out there. I would do something about the high profile cases in the future, but quite frankly I'm afraid if I do their actions wouldn't ever come to light. Case and point I've sent evidence about a certain financier and a certain island to a few authoroties days ago. If I wasn't worried about the safety of any reporter I would leak the info to I'd try that route...
Honestly the higher up I dig the worse it gets. There are very few good people left, and most of them are stuck in the middle. Look at Nick Fury, sure director of S.H.I.E.L.D. sounds like it's the top but he has to report to people like Alexander Pierce.
I've put that money to good use, my portfolio looks like a regressor's wet dream. Bitcoin, Etherium, Amazon, Walmart, Samsung, Google, etc. I've also bought quite a bit of land, some of it investments, but I also secured lare acreage in rural Alabama for cheap. The Murlocks are planning to migrate there as soon as we get some infastructure in, we don't want someone or satellites seeing the more abnormal. That is the temporary solution, and Forge is helping make some stealth tech. I didn't notice the guy as he is almost always deep into one of his projects, the man loves to create.
Meanwhile I've been visiting other planets after I integrated Lila Cheney's and Darwin's genes. Lila's wasn't too bad, but Darwin basically wiped out all my reserves two days ago. I've been doing three a day, looking for Thanos's garden, the world Ms. Marvel was going to settle the Skrulls in, or anything like it. I've found some interesting places, but nothing I would ever want to settle long term in. One of them was teeming with life, very very violent and hostile life. That gave me an excuse to replish some of the energy I lost getting Darwin's genes.
I'm lying down thinking if I shouldn't go the terraforming route. I would have to get 3 omega powers though; Iceman, Storm, and Magneto. Maybe four and the I don't want to imagine the cost of integrating Hope Summer's genes. The bright side of it is that Proteus is with the Murlocks which would take care of the time powers needed. Am I rushing things? Should I await the birth of more mutants? Should I just try and find Krakoa and negltiate with the Island? I'd need something to protect myself better if so and maybe a telepathic ability other than Prodigy's specialized one.
I had gotten out of the shower after training hours ago and I can't bring myself to do more work. It's just so exhausting, and it's not even work I want to do. I follow the fan and think about the restaurant I want to open up at some point. I would too, if I didn't know how much time and effort it would take. It would be life for at least a year more than likely. Once the Murlocks are settled I keep telling myself, but it feels empty. It's worth it though, seeing the looks of everyones faces when Proteus and I got worked together to form the steady supply of mushroom cultivation to start things off. Happiness, relief, and hope... It was bittersweet seeing the last one on the children, like they didn't have any before.
I should take some downtime before I burn myself out. I never thought I would be thinking that about planet exploration, but I can only take so many dead planets before it starts wearing me down. I did find Morag, but I have no clue what I would have to sacrifice to get the soul stone... Should I clone James and try? Hey there'a a thought all this time and we've just been doing our own thing. Powering ourselves up concentrated on the future, we have yet to go and have fun somewhere together. Maybe we should challenge in arena in Sakaar? We should make plans to do something, maybe not his crazy idea of finding Mephisto or Cytorak.. Man is a battle junkie.
