After Jakob took off, Violet decided that it was going to be her who brought him back home, despite Dom's reasonings. Violet wasn't going to sit around and watch the family she loved so dearly move on like nothing happened. H...

Wherever Mr. Nobody took them, Levi felt like he was planning on getting them killed. The long sewer like paths just gave Levi the creeps, and it didn't help that Roman said if the Ninja Turtles popped out, he was out. But he had to agree that this place was completely off the grid. Levi shined his flashlight around the room, trying to figure out what Mr. Nobody was leading them to.
"No way this place was sanctioned by the agency. This was definitely Mr. Nobody's secret hideout." Tej turned, finding a switch on the wall. Soon enough, the secret base was lit up, giving them a bigger picture of what they were dealing with. The place they were dealing with was old-school. It seemed like something out of the old spy movies.
"What now, Dom?" Roman asked.
Dom turned to address the team, "Whoever Jakob has become... and whatever he's up to," Dom paused, looking at the team. "It's on me. And me alone." Levi made a face, shaking his head.
There was no way they'd let Dom do this alone. They never let him do anything alone, and they saw the outcome when Dom worked alone. The memories of two years when Dom decided to keep them out of the loop about Little B and Cipher haunted them. They wouldn't let Dom do this alone.
"Nah. Whatever's on you, it's on us." Roman stated.
"Let's get to work." Tej said.
And that was what the team did. It wasn't even that hard. While they all got everything ready, Letty apparently called Mia because she deserved to know about Jakob. Once Tej and Ramsey got the computer system back up and running, Ramsey called them all over to find out what she discovered. "The firewall on this old thing is actually pretty good. But you know, port scan, UDP message peek, pop to root shell, and..." Ramsey showed off she was able to access the computer system from her own laptop. "Say hello to Project Aries."
"What is it?" Mia asked.
"It's what we got from Mr. Nobody's plane. Or at least part of it." Letty confirmed.
"Aries was designed to override an assimilate anything that runs on code. Any computer anywhere. If it operates on zeros and ones, it's vulnerable. Aries owns it." Ramsey explained.
"It can weaponize anything. Someone could burn your house down with your refrigerator if they wanted to." Tej confirmed.
"Oh, so now my refrigerator's gonna kill me?" Roman asked.
"It could be made to." Ramsey said.
"How about my George Foreman grill or foot massager?" Roman asked, not taking this seriously. Levi placed his head into his hand, groaning softly.
"Do you know how it feels to create something that could destroy the world?" Ramsey asked.
Roman stopped laughing, going silent. "No."
"Well, I do. And this will. If you take Aries and upload it to a satellite, it'll spread like a virus. Then it'll be a matter of time before someone can control any weapons system – traditional, nuclear, stuff we haven't even seen yet – and just point it wherever they want. Jakob reboots the world order within minutes." Ramsey explained.
