Super Science
Ch 37: Research Log, Update.
This is Doctor Izuku Midoriya reporting from the *Yawn* my office. Anyway, a lot has happened here at the laboratory and *Yawn* man I need more coffee. I thought it would be best to report on it. So going in no order, as I've already stated in another log, probably, we were attacked when the League of….the….the leagues of….I don't know. Some villains came in when UA came for a trip of some kind and we weren't prepared. Everyone got out alive, except the villains. And we killed the giant monster they brought to kill All Might. It was a whole mess.
We carved up the monster, found out….a bunch of stuff, and…yeah. Oh! One other thing, we found some sort of thing on the monster's body. A calling card or signature of the person who made it. Going by DKG and now we're trying to figure out what it meant but it's not much to work off of.
Anyhow, after that, we went on a full-scale modeling of this place and now it's ten times more secure than before. We have turrets on the roof, new types of plants out front for hidden defenses, an anti-warp quirk generator, defense animals, silent alarms, super locks, sound-based weapons, chemical traps, rail guns, wall spikes, and just about anything you can think of. At this rate even if we get broken into, they'll be in for a whole world of hurt. Hankoyo is even trying to develop a sound-based forcefield.
Hatsume even perfected his robot designs for all the grunt work and even a small armada of droids used for fighting a small army. He's even started production on a few special ones he called the Assassin droids. Robots have far more human flexibility and lethality with the downside of very little defense, but he is having trouble since recreating the human body in a machine is very difficult.
Once things were set up, everyone was allowed to go back to their own devices and continue on their previous projects. I personally haven't had the time to do any since I've been busy with….stuff and things…and giving pointers or helping out with other projects and developments. I really do want to work on my stuff, but I always find myself helping someone else or writing down notes on an idea I have and then expanding upon it. Then it becomes too much and I give it to the rest of the team to see if they want it.
After that, we then set a meeting on the problem with Torch Wick. In short, he's gotten way bigger, way faster than any of us thought. We discussed termination, but in the end, it was Professor Hollyhock who gave us an alternative. She made something called a Reset Bomb, a small device the size of a really big watermelon covered in flora and highly unstable using a piece of the original Singularity Soul. In short, when this thing hits any area, it'll cause a massive and sudden growth of indigenous plant life.
After which we tested it in the fallout zone of Hokkaido and it worked. It worked so well we decided to completely scrub clean the radiative zone and now it's safe for rehabilitation. Of course, this caught the attention of the government and they called for a meeting with us. We had prepared for this kinda event and things went better than expected. Then we decided to go public and….and….and….
Things didn't go so well. During my speech, a quirk enthusiast tried to kill me but failed to do so. For some reason, he found out I was quirkless. I have no idea how, but he did. I have a hunch it wasn't a coincidence, but the gunman isn't so keen on talking to the police…it was really scary. It was like looking at K-K-Bakugou again, and this time he was out for blood and more.
After this Hollyhock made a new Reset Bomb that was modified. It looked about the same but was far larger. Around the size of a small car with a larger fragment of the Singularity Soul inside. This one was dubbed the Island Bloom and as the name suggests, it causes an Island to form in an open space of water. If we had used a normal Reset Bomb to do this, then we would have just made a really big coral reef, which could be used to revive the coral reefs around the world.
We were supposed to throw Torch Wick on there the moment it sprang up, but Egon said we shouldn't as he noticed, even hours later, that the new Island is still developing. So it needs to "ripen", as he says. It should be ready in a week or so, but I hope it's sooner because Torch Wick is already getting to be the size of Gammoth. As for the island itself, it is quite possibly one of the most geographically marvelous places in the current world. It has so many different biomes in just 4,000 miles. There's a deciduous and evergreen forest, a jungle, a savanna, a desert, a swamp, a wetland, a high mountain with snow, a volcano with active lava flow, and some more I can't remember. From all this, we decided to name it. Atlantis was immediately out since it wasn't located in the Atlantic Ocean. So instead we decided to name it Pacifica after the Pacific Ocean.
Anyway, back to what I was saying…..what was I saying before? I forgot. Where should I go from here? Oh! I know! I'll report on what everyone made in the time that this place became more fortified.
First is Cho, who I already stated before how she outfitted the facility with far more dangerous methods. She's even starting to make a laser gun with Doctor Cluck. Then there's Hatsume who, as I already said, is making new and improved robots. Honey Lemon has produced a whole host of different materials from several chemical compounds, such as super adhesive concrete for buildings, an instant air cushion for people who attempt to jump from high places such as suicide and trapped on top of burning buildings, and even a super dissolvent to speed up demolition.
She's even been working closely with Anima on creating a new form of bacteria that eats inorganic matter like plastics, glass, and metal. We actually finished that one and have managed to purchase Takoba Municipal Park Beach for experimentation.
Hankyo has figured out how to turn a Splinter that is primarily positively or negatively charged into a base. I'll spare the details but it doesn't seem to have any effect in causing evolution or quirks and just gives off the radiation that allows for extra energy given when in proximity of a living being. When we turned it into a quirk Splinter, we found out that it was far more powerful than before. A normal quirk Splinter will allow a person to utilize around 40 to 50 percent of a person's copied quirk, but this one allows the use of 80 to 95 percent. So we've decided to scrap all the current quirk Splinters we have and make new ones.
Luckily through the intervention of Doctor Cluck, we now have a full-proof method and machine for producing them in mass stock. What took me months of work to do, can now be done within only a few hours. As of now we've completely remade, restocked, and now making new Splinters by the dozen. This gave me so many ideas that I've given to Cluck and now she's going absolutely bonker with it. Which in hindsight wasn't the best idea.
Pamela has been restocking the greenhouse since the last attack and is the main reason the outside of the facility is so easily concealed. She made a Willow tree that grabs anything that gets too close. A tree that appears dead at first glance but when agitated will reveal a horrifying face that can produce a paralyzing gas and throw homing fruits that can latch on with sharp teeth and explode after a few minutes. Another tree, which I can't remember, makes flowers of different colors that have different effects. Several defense cacti and bushes, a rose plant that can cause extreme and uncontrolled aggression, grass that trunks into blades, shrieking flowers, and so much more. Unfortunately, many of the plants she made have been deemed, too unsafe, to be controlled without her so they have either been discontinued, destroyed, or are to be sent off to Pacifica.
Speaking of the island, Egon has given Anima full reign to do with it as he pleases. Since it's an island with no indigenous life, it's a blank slate for anyone to create a whole new ecology. You can imagine how he took that; by that I mean he fainted. Otto was pretty excited too. He has so many new animals he can put on the island as both a way to keep it at balance and protect it alongside the killer plants that will be placed on it. As of right now the only creatures that will inhabit it in the near future will be Torch Wick alongside a horde of Dodo's and the evolved sheep, being used as food for him.
We found out quite recently that the new Dodos I made months ago have an extremely quick lifecycle. After an egg is laid, the chick will hatch in 24 hours and then mature into a full-grown adult in a week. How Peet has lived for so long is beyond me. But thanks to this we will be able to breed and cultivate more dodo meat to be sold.
Anyhow, before this news was given to the Creature Division, Professor Genus had discovered and proved the Aquatic Ape theory. By testing some of the Evolution Splinters with a whole host of different primates and subjecting them to environmental stimuli, he was able to create a living mermaid. Currently, a small pod consisting of a dozen are swimming in a large pool in the facility. But since we don't have the heart to kill them, they too will be sent off to Pacifica with another new aquatic species.
Genus also decided to look into the Terrestrial Fish theory and ended up creating Sirens from a group of lungfish. I have the description of both creatures but….I think something is wrong with my eyes. I can see the paper.
… I think I'm gonna end it here. End of…whatever.
Izuku turned off the mic and put the papers he was holding down on the table. He rubbed his eyes and tried to look at them but no matter what distance he looked at it, short or long, he just couldn't make them out. What was happening to him?
He felt his stomach twist into painful knots that nearly made him double over in pain and threw up into a nearby trash can! He tried to sit back up in his chair but found his limbs so weak that he couldn't even pull himself up. He tried to look at the computer screen but only saw a fuzzy light.
His head began to spin and the sound of his heartbeat began to block out all noise! At that moment the only thing he could rationalize was that he just needed more coffee.
So he stood up with all his might in legs that felt like they were stung with needles and made of jelly. He looked over to the other side of the desk where he saw his half-finished coffee. He tried to walk over to it, one arm on the desk and the other stretched out to try and grab it. But the few feet felt like yards and waves of pain and nausea hit him with even a slight movement until he looked up and saw the room spinning.
He saw everything and nothing at the same time, and then, blacked out!
That's where Honey Lemon found him. On the floor of his office and sprawled out with his face pale as a sheet. Then altered the rest of the facility when she screamed.
Quick side note, I just found out yesterday, at the time of this post, my story has been used on two What If channels. More specifically Not whatif and Quirky Whatif on youtube. Check out their other fanfic stories they have on their channel, it's pretty diverse. If you're reading this, yeah, I see you. But even though you posted my story without my permission, I'm not mad. I'm honestly a bit bashful and flustered to see my story be this popular. Just a little word of advice, ask to repost a story on youtube before you do it unless the author has been inactive for a long time. I wouldn't want to see you get a verbal lashing from internet strangers. Just as next time, k?
Please Review and have a Plus Ultra day.
