Chapter 59: Gravitonium On The Principia

Once Mack and Tony returned, they had intel on Gravitonium. We immediately contacted Leo, Jemma, Deke, Piecor, and Kina back in the control room.

"We're looking in an area that they've already searched." Leo explained.

"There's nothing there. We expanded the search range 100 miles in every direction from the coordinates at which it last made contact." Piecor added.

"Bathymetric maps don't show anything." Kina mentioned.

"Sonar doesn't pick up any deviations. So, maybe they were hijacked by pirates." Leo suggested.

"He said it went down in a storm." I commented.

"Did you ever consider he might be lying? He was Hydra." Jemma pointed out.

"Mack believes him. Keep looking." Phil urged.

With that we ended the call. Not too long after we ended the call, they returned our call, informing us that the ship, Principia, was in the air due to the Gravitonium. As we searched the skies, Phil spoke up. "Anything?"

"Yeah. More clouds." May shot back.

Davis sighed. "We're looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Or a flying boat." Daisy suggested.

Our eyes widened when we saw the ship, flying in the air, just like Leo mentioned. Tony gasped. "You got to be kidding me. Holy moly! You guys see stuff like this all the time?"

We all nodded. "Yep."

And frankly each mission was more shocking than the last. Once we were close enough, Daisy, Mack, Phil, and I were lowered in the containment room with oxygen tanks to keep us alive. It wasn't long until May reached us through the comms. "Davis has us in hover mode. You sure you don't need me down there?"

"I need someone on the thing that's actually supposed to be in the air in case the bottom drops out on us. I trust you way more than Davis to fly that crazy rescue." Phil confessed.

Davis then intervened. "I hear you and don't disagree."

"Coulson, don't forget the plan for your oxygen. Five minutes without it, you'll get really loopy." Mack reminded him.

I took a breath in of the oxygen tank through my respirator as I turned my camera in for the rest of the team to see what we were seeing. "Okay, camera's on."

"May, Fitz, you reading this?" Daisy asked.

"Copy that. Crystal clear." May confirmed.

"Yep, copy that. Looking good." Leo said.

"Got to admit it's kind of cool walking around on a ship 25,000 feet up in the sky." Phil mentioned.

Definitely cool until you think of falling into the ocean to your possible death. I could deal with heights, but this was a whole new level.

"Just don't think about how it could fall down once the Gravitonium is removed." Kina stated.

"What a comforting thought, thanks Kina." I replied, rather sarcastically.

"I don't expect anything less from Kina." Mack commented.

"Fitz, how is this even possible?" Daisy questioned.

"When the Gravitonium was supercharged, most likely by a lightning strike, created an applied gravity field on the ship." Leo explained.

"Same way the Gravity Puck works. That means there's got to be Gravitonium there somewhere." Deke added.
