The paranoia is in bloom- Characters: Magnus, Justin Hammer Setting: Hammer Industries, LA Content: Violence? Summary: Magnus is in search of information.
Magnus stood before a tall building staring dubiously at the lettering beside the front doors that read Hammer Industries. This was the place, apparently, where the bulk of the Sentinels were being manufactured from. Or so his sources had led him to believe, and that's what had brought him here on a Sunday evening after hours. His intention was to find the plans and find out who they were supplying to. A matter of such importance wasn't one he wanted to entrust to anyone else, and he also wanted to be absolutely certain himself what these things were capable of. It wasn't news he'd shared with anyone else and he'd sworn Pietro to secrecy.
To tell the already harrowed Genoshans that their enemies had even greater weapons would only be demoralizing. Instead, he'd quietly began upping the security on the island under the guise of preventative measures after the attack by the HLS. He hadn't yet contacted Mystique because he'd been lately gnawed by suspicion. True, she'd been there at Genosha when he'd needed her most, but she hadn't seemed to be getting anywhere on her objective and she hadn't reported anything to him about new and improved Sentinels. If he found out that S.H.I.E.L.D. had no knowledge of them, that was one thing, but if he learned that they'd been supplied them after all it would be another thing entirely.
Breaking in was a simple matter and taking out the guards was equally easy. A scan of a computer dock told him that the company's main files could only be accessed from a particular computer and so he set off in search of it. He found himself, eventually, in the office of Justin Hammer where he proceeded to sit himself down at the mogul's chair and search through the files on his desktop computer.
