Batman said that there was more room in the defense budget for automatic defenses and I was a shew in to get the contract. It was hard not to smirk at everyone in smug satisfaction knowing that I was the most scientifically inclined Justice League member. Sure, we had to go through the song and dance of listening to the other members but I was ninety-nine percent sure I was going to win.
I made my way inside the room and the smirk fell off my face the moment I noticed that smug bastard Danny Storm was there. Shouldn’t he be off fucking some bimbo or lazing about on a mission he could solve in a minute with his bullshit superpowers? I disliked the man tremendously and he had never shown any inclination towards making robots so I wasn’t sure why he had even bothered to show up.
I waited as everyone started to give their speeches. Starting with Batman. “I’ve gone for the basic built-in turret design that the Watchtower is currently using with an added twist. The more important areas will be guarded by these specialized turrets that can fire fast solidifying foam to lock people in place to stop them from doing damage.”
He flipped through several PowerPoint pictures of his possible design as well as the blueprint schematics to create them. If someone had perfect memory they could quickly memorize those turret designs for themselves but I think with a few days of work I could improve upon the design. He kept going on with his presentation but everyone knew he was only giving it because there needed to be a baseline.
“The normal turrets spread throughout the base at key locations will be made out of normal materials. That is with a steel and secondary adamantium composite. The ones deeper in protecting the key areas will be made out of a vibranium casing while the center will be pure adamantium. These will be on the expensive side which is why the budget for these is twice the amount as the previous defense budget and there are far fewer turrets as the stronger turrets are protecting the more key areas.”
That was a fine plan, if I had taken part in creating the Watchtower's defenses it would have had more automated suits of armor to protect them but I was busy designing the rocket to get the Watchtower up in space. Reed Richards went next. I was surprised to see him here until I thought about his situation. He was more disheveled than I’d ever seen him. That would be the fact that he was ousted from his own company and hadn’t been able to throw money around like he had in the past.
Point blank he probably needed this job to acquire the funding needed to continue his research and experiments. He was shaky in his speech, he most likely didn’t have to sell a product for over a decade now and it showed. “I–... I’d just like to thank you for the opportunity to accept this defense contract.” Reed at least had a better set-up than Batman did. “I’m thinking robots. Robots that can integrate themselves with a new AI system. The robots will appear human but can grow in size when threatened.”
Reed started to ramble at this point as the planned defense contract he had set up started to rapidly shift. “We could convert all the important rooms into anti-gravity chambers with only the robots being immune to the effect because they’d be magnetized to the floor. If the threats were more severe we could put in teleportation arrays that would chase the intruders and attempt to teleport them into holding cells… That… Would need to be completely designed from scratch though as I just figured out dimensional transportation and would need to rework it to work on teleporting to known locations… The budget seems a bit small though and the timeframe also seems too small… Give me a second to rework my defense plans.”
Reed pulled a notepad out of nowhere and began scribbling down the new plans and ideas entering his head. There was a small chance he might get the contract instead of me if he could tamp his attitude down and come up with a plan right now that is. He shouted out ‘Microbots!’ and began scribbling down more ideas as he mumbled something about getting a hold of Pym particles.”
I pointed to Danny next. “We should save the best for last. Let’s see his plan next then I’ll go.” I couldn’t help but sneer at the self-assured smirk he had on his face. He put down a cube that projected an image in the middle of the room. “Good evening everyone and thank you, Tony. There’s no reason for us to wait and figure out who will get the contract when I’m already here.” He smirked in my direction and I scratched my head with my middle finger in his direction.
“I’d like to present to you. Magi-golem armor mark-3.” A sleek-looking set of robotic armor appeared on the hologram screen as it flipped through several actual situations they’d been put through. “Bigger, stronger, and with all the bells and whistles the previous sets had in one, these new golem armors can do everything.” The robots began to cloak as Danny spoke up.
“From stealth.” The visual switched to a wide area of units going invisible. “Stealth for a large group.” A large barrier was formed to stop a missile from hitting the troops. “Large-scale magical support as each is equivalent to a tier six magician and each can work in tandem with each other synergistically. A distress call for help and you’ll have more suits there in seconds as they teleport to the location to work together.”
Many attacks were shown on the next robot. “They are almost impervious to all physical damage as well as immune to most magical and elemental damage as well.” A person climbed out of the robot and my eyes widened as I thought they weren’t manned. “They can function fully autonomously but can also have a human pilot. While inside the suit functions as a space and divers suit up to everything inside the known universe. A normal human can survive being tossed into the sun in one of these armors.”
It thankfully didn’t cut to a clip of him throwing someone into the sun but he continued. “And last but not least. I’ll give them to the Watchtower for free as they’re made already. For the safety of the world, I’ll only take the tax cut the project would provide from the amount being changed to a donation. On top of that… I’ll add in three Godslayer armors to protect the more important areas. They’re ramped-up suits of armor at nearly the same strength as Superman.”
He smirked and I couldn’t help but feel my asshole pucker as he went in for the deathkill. “Not only will it protect the Watchtower. But they can also be used for convenience or protection for members on the planet as well. Every single Magi-golem armor can teleport which would allow the Justice League to rapidly get to locations they needed to much more quickly. If a member needed an extra helping hand all they had to do was ask and they’d have a suit of the extremely durable armor show up to either wear or work as their backup.”
I knew he had won but now I was curious as well. “Do you have the specs for these robots?” His smug smirk as he clicked the last button and showed the robot's specifications compared to the bleeding edge suit I had just made for myself which had cost me over twenty-five billion to make and the mass-produced suits beat it in almost every category. The fucking golems could even self-repair faster than my own nanobot suit and he was just giving them away… Now I was curious about the Godslayer specs.
