NOVPUBNick walked down to the research and development department of Aegis and entered the Technician's office.
The Technician was smiling brightly as he sent one report after another.
He was currently writing down all of his accumulated knowledge and made it available to basically anyone in the world.
Many people would want to keep their knowledge secret. After all, they worked hard for it. They spent years upon years accumulating said knowledge. Sharing it would be akin to doing the work and letting others benefit from it.
But the Technician was like the Left Arm.
He was someone whose sole desire was to help humanity.
He was happy that he could share centuries of accumulated knowledge with everyone on Earth.
"Good job out there!" the Technician said with a smile.
Nick nodded. "Humanity broke one of its biggest shackles today."
The next moment, Nick's eyes narrowed, and he took out the glasses that the Champion wore during the battle.
Naturally, the Champion had handed the glasses back in the 30 minutes after the Envious Researcher died.
"Want to see what the Envious Researcher looked like? I can show you with these," Nick said.
The Technician became interested. "I would love to!"
Nick handed the glasses to the Technician, who put them on.
The Technician saw the image of a floating brain with a nervous system.
After a bit, the brain vanished into smoke, and the glasses deactivated.
The Technician took off his glasses and handed them back. "Really interesting. So, what are you going to do now?" he asked.
Naturally, the Technician wanted to confirm his suspicion.
He was there while Nick developed the glasses, and he knew that the image didn't disperse when they were deactivated.
The image would just become fainter.
The Technician knew that he was the only other person who knew about that.
The Champion didn't know about that.
"I am going to focus on technology for a bit. Compared to humans,Specters don't have such an inherent affinity with technology," Nick said.
The Technician's suspicions were confirmed.
The fact that the image of the Envious Researcher turned to smoke was already enough.
Or, more precisely, the Envious Researcher didn't turn into smoke but into mist.
And the Technician knew of only one being who could turn into mist on command.
This message told him that Nick now had the job of the Envious Researcher, and the fact that Nick confirmed that he was interested in technology confirmed it. ṙ
