Skye Volunteers

By now, Fitz had finally found information on the object that looked like a miniature gyroscope. He projected it onto the big screen and began explaining:

"Gravitonium is an extremely rare element with an exceptionally high atomic number."

"It's also the device's power source. It's incredibly rare."

"So rare that most people don't believe it exists."

"Not to mention one related theory, that a single positive charge can distort isotropic..."

Skye cut in. "Guys, I'm a high school dropout."

"What does this thing run on?"

Simmons explained, "Gravitonium destroys the gravitational field inside it, forming a fluctuating, amorphous state."

"Once an electric current is applied, the Gravitonium solidifies, and those gravitational fields burst outward, randomly altering the gravitational field around it."

"That's why, at the accident scene, the truck and the escort convoy were thrown into the sky."

"And many years ago, a genius published a paper on Gravitonium and its various possible applications."

Skye caught on and immediately said, "Doctor Franklin Hall."

Fitz nodded. "That's right. Doctor Hall and Ian Quinn attended Cambridge University at the same time."

Killer B grew thoughtful. Something that randomly changed the surrounding gravity?

If its direction and force could be controlled, wouldn't that be similar in effect to the Iwagakure Ninja's secret Light-Weight Rock Technique?

Sure enough, this world's technology wasn't simple at all. He just didn't know what the cost would be.

Skye gave her opinion. "Coulson may have misjudged this. Quinn is a well-known good guy."

"His charitable donations are nearly eight billion dollars."

Simmons nodded. "Yes, money donated from profits made by draining Earth's resources dry."

"Looks like he's made another new discovery."

Elsewhere.

Hall looked at the miniature Gravitonium in his hand. Beside him, Quinn said:

"Twenty years, twelve mines, six continents."

"But I finally found it."
