The Return
Thankfully, the return to my world was much easier than getting to that hellish place. I stole something from there, though - something dangerous. Hopefully I can find some way to contact someone from that world again, and get some help figuring out what it does. I took a full scan of the containment room in case it was somehow necessary to keeping the thing from becoming dangerous, and copied it in one of my lab rooms. It's supposed to be some sort of healing device, but performing any tests on it is bound to be terribly dangerous, if where it came from is any indication...
Anyway, I've gone ahead and bought the island that will be the landing point for the WareGates. I am quite worried about getting this to work. I talked to Richard and he said something about how the company's budget didn't have room for "buying and developing islands willy-nilly", I believe were his words. Not sure I understand that, I was fairly sure it had billions it was working with, but, I guess that's the point of Richard. Aside from, you know. The other things. Anyway, I spent most of my own budget for the month on getting some basic infrastructure in, but apparently this is the kind of things that takes billions! I'll have to see about an alternative revenue source if I'm going to get this done in time to make a difference, and have it work well enough that the U.S. Government can't stop me.
That latter part might be easier than I think, though... A few volunteers, with their own suits?
Maybe. I'll need automated defenses as well, maybe underwater torpedo launchers. Anti-Air missiles, laser defense systems, the whole nine yards.
I'll tinker with the suits a bit more, see if I can get them to really push even normal people into a defensive bulwark.
