I'm Grant Ward

Chapter 75: Lab Revelations

The SHIELD shuttle finally reached a safe location, away from the chaos of the temple and the rebels. After a brief period of rest and reorganization, the team was ready to begin analyzing the artifact they had recovered. Fitz and Simmons were eager to examine the object, and everyone gathered in the makeshift lab aboard the shuttle.

Ward, May, Skye, Coulson, and Peruvian Police Commander Camila were present, each eagerly awaiting the discoveries Fitz and Simmons would make about the artifact. The room was lit with bright lights, and the scientific equipment was prepared for analysis. The artifact, now protected in a special container, was placed in the center of the examination table.

Fitz adjusted the controls of the measuring device while Simmons prepared the analysis equipment. Skye watched with interest, while Ward and May stood at attention, ready for any eventuality.

"Are we ready to begin?" Coulson asked, looking at Fitz.

"Almost there, Phil. — Fitz replied as he adjusted the analyzer settings. — Just a few more seconds to calibrate the sensors.

Ward approached, observing the artifact with a worried expression.

"Fitz, what can we expect to find here?" — ​​Ward asked, his serious tone reflecting the gravity of the situation.

Fitz turned on the analyzer and the first data began to appear on the screen. He scanned the results and a look of surprise began to take over his face.

"That's... interesting," Fitz murmured, as he examined the results. "The radiation we're detecting is a mix of gamma radiation and Tesseract energy."

Skye, listening to the conversation, asked a curious question.

"Gamma radiation? Isn't that usually associated with nuclear things?"

Ward, with a worried look, confirmed Skye's doubt.

"That's what I thought. Fitz, does that mean the artifact is nuclear?"

Fitz shook his head, clearly concerned by what he was seeing.

"Not exactly. Gamma radiation is a type of nuclear radiation, but what we're seeing here is much more complex." — Fitz explained, pointing to the graphs on the screen. — The Tesseract energy that is associated with the artifact indicates that there is something more powerful and less conventional involved.

Coulson, who had been listening intently, took the floor.

"Fitz, what do you mean by 'much worse'?"

Coulson asked, his expression showing concern.

"We need to fully understand what we are dealing with here."

Fitz adjusted the analyzer's settings to provide more details and continued to explain.

"Gamma radiation on its own is dangerous enough, but when combined with Tesseract energy, we are dealing with something that could have unique and potentially devastating properties," Fitz said, his voice tense. "The Tesseract is a powerful and unstable energy source, and the fact that we are detecting this energy means that the artifact may be charged with a significant amount of power."

Simmons, who was standing next to Fitz, added in a serious tone.

"And if the artifact is indeed emitting Tesseract energy, that could mean it has capabilities we don't yet fully understand," she said. "We need to handle this with extreme caution and ensure there are no risks of contamination or explosions."

May, who had been watching the situation unfold, stepped forward and asked an important question.

"So what's the next step? What should we do with the artifact?" she asked, looking at Coulson.

Coulson stared at the artifact, his thoughts clearly racing as he pondered the question. "We need to ensure the artifact is kept safe and under control," Coulson said, his voice firm. "We'll transport it to a secure location where it can be further analyzed. For now, we need to ensure it's isolated and protected from any kind of accident or exposure."

Ward agreed with Coulson's decision, keeping watch over the artifact.

"I agree. The priority must be safety and ensuring the artifact poses no threat to us or the world." Ward stated. — We need a cautious and detailed approach to understand what we really have here.

Fitz and Simmons continued to examine the data, while Coulson prepared to coordinate the safe transport of the artifact. Skye watched, realizing the seriousness of the situation and the importance of what they were dealing with.

"Right, let's make sure the artifact is kept safe until we can fully analyze its properties," Coulson decided, his voice firm. "We must all be vigilant and ready for any eventuality."

With the decision made, the team began to make the necessary preparations for the artifact's safety. Ward, May, Fitz, Simmons, and Skye were all involved in ensuring that everything was in order.

The artifact was now the center of an intriguing new mission, and the team was determined to handle it in the best possible way, ensuring that safety and integrity were always paramount.

Ward stepped back from the examination table, watching the team work with determination. The situation was far from resolved, but they had taken an important step in understanding the artifact and managing the risks involved. The mission was far from over, and the team was ready to face whatever challenges came their way.
