Chapter 100 - [BT] Using Protection...

[Before Transition]

Suffice to say Ben didn't take my theory well though thankfully he just got up and ran away which I appreciate as I would have been smushed into the ground if he wanted to hurt me but anyway it's been two weeks since that accident and I've continued to work here with nary a problem except from Ben giving me a wide birth whenever we pass each other in the Baxter building but apart from that everything is dandy but I suppose if there's one thing that I was a little miffed about then it would be the fact that after Ben ran off I didn't get to finish my presentation or even present my newest invention which was the set of relays towers that would amplify the 'No Power Field' (I'm still trying to figure out the name for me device and any other variations of it but I think this will be alright for now) to cover a certain amount of area which would ideally be used to imprison powered criminals but in the end I didn't get to present it and nobody asked about my project again since they weren't really in the mood for it, I don't think that I'll be giving out or telling anyone about my 'No Power Field' relays as it might be useful to keep that information to myself for now but since the bracelet is already basically revealed I'll just wait for the offers to roll in assuming that S.H.I.E.L.D ever finds out about my device as they would most assuredly want it.

In these past two weeks I've basically been given free reign to do whatever I want during my internship and develop whatever I want but I think this is only because right now they've been focusing on trying to bring a telepath to the Baxter building in order to check over Ben's mind to see if my theory is correct and from what I've overheard while I've been trawling around these hallowed halls, definitely not trying to gain whatever information I can, Reed has been trying very hard to get a certain professor over hear to examine Ben's mind and I don't want to be anywhere near a telepath with an unprotected mind and so I've taken these last two weeks as an opportunity to prepare for the mind readers arrival and I've done that by developing my own special device to ward off any mind peepers in the last two weeks but honestly it didn't even take me a week as I used the information that was available at the Baxter building as well as the information I gained while creating my 'Power Banning Bracelet' (is this a better name? It's got alliteration in it) to create a device that would put up an energy field around me that would stop any mind readers and then I used the rest of that week to make the device as small as possible to microscopic which I did using all the readily available information provided to me by the Fantastic Four's database, it was at that point that I notified that I hadn't come up with a good place to have the device on me and so came my next job for the following week.

I had to come up with somewhere to have this device placed in me where it can't be messed with by anyone or removed from me but it was at this point that I realised that people with magnetic powers existed and they would be able to easily able to mess with the device and so I spent about a day or so switching out the materials used in my device for non ferrous materials which sacrificed a little bit of the size but it was negligible but I realised that my device could be a easily fried by anyone with electrical, lighting or thunder based powers and so I decided to wrap my device in a, quite thick for the size of my device, layer of rubber before wrapping it again in a layer of non ferrous material that has low conductivity for heat and electricity and despite this my end result was still a quite small device but now I needed a place to put it and I had a great idea, I spent this rest of the second week working on implementing my design and it took quite a lot of work as I was diving into a field that although I've read up on and kept up to date on I don't actually have much experience with it and so I had to focus extra hard to make sure I don't mess up on this but in the end it all worked out even though it took a lot of hard work but in the end I was satisfied as I came up with the best way to implement my idea with the utmost safety although some may say that my chosen method is actually the most risky.

The idea I came up with was to implant the device in my head as that way it wouldn't be easily removable by anyone else as well as having it be secure and safe where no one can mess with it but this came with the issue of how to implant it in my head and as I currently don't have anyone who I trust enough to help me do this and I don't want to involve my butler Earl Grey as he would definitely have a problem with it so I was left like most other times in my life relying on myself but of course I couldn't use my own two hands to get it done and so I decided on the next best thing which would be a machine be lit by my own two hands which would implant the device in my head and I did this by building a kind of medical station that only had the items and tools that would be needed for my operation (as I did not have the time to add anything else though what I'm making could be a lucrative innovation for the medical sector) as well as making a simple artificial intelligence though it would probably be closer to a virtual intelligence as I've installed it into the medical station as well as giving it all the information that would be needed for my procedure and what to do if it was to go wrong (the VI bit) but that wasn't enough for me as something unexpected might go wrong and so I downloaded as much medical information as well as general knowledge relating to my procedure into the machine so it could go over the information itself and make a decision if anything unexpected was to happen during the procedure (the AI bit) though thankfully I've made the decision to keep the machine quite simple without that much freedom as I don't need a Skynet situation happening.

On the last day of my two week free period I waited for Johnny to go out partying while Reed stayed at his own lab, Susan went to her room and Ben was being depressed somewhere in the building and he wants to stay as far away as possible from me at the moment which is perfect and so I hacked the security cameras in the room which I've mainly been working in feeding it a loop of myself moving around working before beginning the procedure with my medical station using anesthetiser on myself before my head was actually opened up and I know it would have been better to do this at my bas.e.m.e.nt at home but I had an oversight and developed my medical station here and by the time I thought about it my medical station was already built and I didn't have anyway to remove it from the building and so I was forced to adapt and do it in the Baxter building as I didn't know when the mind defiled would be coming and I'd rather have this device implanted in my head now then risk it and come into contact with professor mind sweeper before I was ready and have all my most intimate thoughts revealed as well as my true origins and my meta-knowledge, I am glad that I went through with it though as I now have a permanent mind shield around myself that will keep nearly every telepath out of my mind (I doubt that I would be able to fend off the mind attacks of the Phoenix and I'm a bit iffy about resisting a host of the Phoenix).

Immediacy after my procedure was done and my medical station had served its use I completely erased all the data in it as well as eradicating the budding artificial intelligence in it before completely dismantling my machine and getting rid of all the parts and destroying any component that might have once held the budding AI in it and that is because I don't want to create an AI right now as I'm sure that I'd mess it up and the only time I'd be comfortable with creating an AI would be when I've analysed as many already existing and stable AI's as I can and have discovered the similarities between them that keep them loyal and obedient and I don't think I'm gonna make an AI before then unless I'm confronted with an unforeseeable situation which I don't think is gonna happen, apart from that nothing has really happened much in the past two weeks that wasn't the same as before as I've just attended my lectures at ESU sometimes getting in a tutoring session with Mary Jane here and there and that's pretty much it.

Now I can just concentrate on using the information in the Fantastic Four's database to further my personal research...
