" </em></strong><br/><br/>Daniel stopped dead still in the corridor as he forced himself to listen to Athena's briefing.  The two ships in distress was enough, but the additional information about the platform's disaster protocols. Athena was right and even emergency systems such as the disaster protocols would have been deprived of power without regular maintenance performed by a crew, or supplies from Stane Industries.  Either situations would had raised an eyebrow.  Both together, and Athena was right to bring it to his attention.  The ship would need assistance and Daniel was one of the very few who could perhaps provide them time to give rescue operations the best chance of success he could, and once the search and rescue was completed, allow him to further investigate both the platform, and the object which had caused all of the trouble in the first place.<br/><br/>Daniel pushed himself back from the wall, and moved towards the elevator.  Once there he put his eye to the bio-metric scanner, as well as placed his finger in the DNA reader.  Both accepted him and Daniel felt light headed as they elevator went speeding along its new course to his private lab.  As he did so, Daniel touched his communication device again.<strong>"Athena thank you, this indeed was working interrupting me for.  I shall be in the hanger in one minute.  I am going to need spare Shield units.  They have enough power to operate independent of the armor for a few minutes.  It's not much time, so lets hope it will be enough."</strong>As soon as he finished, the doors to the elevator open.  Sheena was gone from his mind.  Athena would handle her if she woke.  Daniel had something far more important, lives were on the line.<br/><br/>Daniel moved with sure steps, discarding the robe and the slippers as he did, and placed his palm on a door.  The cabinet he touched opened, and as he did there was a slight dry fog from the difference in the temperature between the internal environmental systems of the storage cabinet.  Daniel stared at the set of armor he created before him, so unlike the Iron Man armors Tony Stark created, and in the end help put an end to the War.  Daniel was not trying to put an end to the war, but he was a growing symbol to the people.  Ebony Shield was once more about to operate in the in a very public situation, a champion of the people, even if they did not know it.  It did not take long for Daniel to put on the suit, less than the five minutes and he was in the elevator once more, to the personal hanger that he had attached to his residence.  Less than a minute later he was taking a speed and heading as fast as he could without triggering New Haven's anti-air defenses, and once he was outside the defenses which he had helped designed and built, pushed his craft to the very limits of its speed, passing MACH 3 in less than a few seconds, making for the sinking destroyers as fast as he could.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Ebony Shield Armor</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/fe/28/b2/fe28b2428bba1131a0d7dc7275f37762.jpg)</div></div></div>
