<strong>Present Day, Triangle Facility outside of New Orleans</strong><br/><br/>"Ah, Darren." The lead agent, 'Commander' Taylor, motioned for the other man to set down the case cuffed to his wrist. "I brought you a project. We.. liberated a unique devise from the police. Along with the notes from one of the MCO agents that left it with them. He kept copies of his partner's notes. She can 'read' devises and other tech."<br/><br/>He opened the case, putting a thick folder on the lab table between him and Daren, before pulling out a fist sized ruby-like gemstone that quietly pulsed.<br/><br/>"This devise holds the mind of a hero, Machano-Lad, and it's been asleep since '95. The folder has the assessment about the mechanism that let it control the androids bodies he operated. There are some schematics in the folder as well. Technical drawings of his old bodies, see if it's useful. One of our 'assets' off site said that the mind is still sleeping in there. She's a touch telepath, a human one, who understands her duties. You get in line with that and we might be able to take off that collar." He put the gemstone back in the case. "I doubt we put him in an android, your talents aren't strong enough and you're the best devisor we have after the raid on the Rhode Island unit."<br/><br/>The sound of a truck pulling outside was heard. A few minutes later, a woman in a high tech tube - most likely life support- was rolled in and connected to the electrical generator devise that provided the entire facility off the grid power.<br/><br/>"Sinclair 'Syn' Dane, Teleporter 5, Exemplar and Regenerator, limited Esper trait.. Major thief, has stolen millions across the world. She was caught in a devise that was SUPPOSED to mentally stun her but it overloaded. Major damage to the prefrontal lobe, essentially her awareness is gone but her memories still lurk in that mind. All her jump locations, hidey holes and the loot she's banked over the years, she robbed Dr. Avarice and if rumor correct she knows at least two of his vault locations in addition to the one she robbed." Avarice was the 'hoarder king' of the underworld. Millions of dollars in gold, precious gems, artifacts, gadgets, mystic relics, devises and more. It would be an amazing coup for the Triangle to get all that stuff. What they couldn't use to collect more mutants to 'uplift mankind' would finance dozens of new cells all over the world.<br/><br/>"I want you to put what is in that gem." He pointed to the gem and then to the heavily tattooed naked woman in the tube. "In her.. I want Avarice's caches, and her bank accounts all locked in the memories in her mind, something called a memory palace. And I want you to figure out how to restrict her teleport ability if possible, or maybe a way to track her." He waved his hands. "I know your kind needs a bit of leeway to create something that works. So brew uo the coffee and nuke the hot pockets kid, we need to get her working for us."<br/><br/>With that he and the other man walked out, leaving Darren in a lab with a functionally brain dead teleport and the devise of an android hero from the 90s.
