He steps through the portal. His tattered robes drag like shadows across the different floor. He glances over his shoulder with his eyes to get a glimpse of the portal closing. He grins, it was all going to plan. Even better maybe because it appears like it was Metallic's fault he's still alive even though Talc had happened to have a trick up his sleeve. A woman in florescent orange overalls with a pair of goggles, some kind of holographic wrist monitor, a blowtorch, a pair of pliers and a utility belt full of gadgets turns away from working on what seems reminiscent of a server only possibly the size of a small house.
"Hows it looking Erica?" Dr Talc shouts out to his head engineer.
"Going well, but may still be a decade away from completion." Erica replies.
Talc nods as he moves through this new, potentially more advanced facility. Drones, machines, scientists and engineers are working on a large array of projects as Talc walks past them towards some kind of office.
Another man inside the office waits for Talc with a glass of some kind of expensive beverage. He wears an expensive suit and greets Talc with a heavy handshake as he enters the office.
"Another ingenious plan Talc! Soon America will be ours!" The man tells him enthusiastically.
"Don't celebrate too soon!" Talc tells him eyeing the beverage "We still have much work to do, it could take decades! Now I'll let you know when to freeze your funding of the EHRR. If you'll excuse me I'll be off, it's always a pleasure Wong."
Wong leaves his seat and exits into a portal created by Talc's wand. Talc walks further through the facility past loud clanging and an assortment of industrial noises. He enters some kind of changing room and removes his tattered robe and damaged machinery underneath. He changes into a fancy suit, while making sure to equip himself with some new gadgets. He uses a new wand to create a portal and walks out into a cleaning closet in some kind of skyscraper. He walks out into a corridor then into a relatively luxurious office. Inside some is also waiting for him. He sits with broad shoulders and a shadow of authority. He stands to shake the hand of Talc.
"Let me say this frankly.The facility has fallen and one of them blew up our choppers!" He shouts as he accelerates to rage in seconds.
"Don't worry yourself it's all going to plan." Talc reassures.
"All going to plan but..." He tries to shout again.
"I'll deal with the nuisance, rebellions are always extinguished eventually you need not worry" Talc says with an assured confidence.
"You better be right otherwise you may have lost yourself an ally!" He replies as he grits his teeth.
Talc smiles and shakes his hand before leaving to attend to his many more duties. Talc rubs his hands together as he walks away, everything was all going to well.
But could you say the same for the Infinity Court?
