Nick Fury looked at the Physical Enhancement Serum from Kumogakure that Sitwell had delivered, and an idea formed in his mind.
On his end, he was going to build three Helicarriers to carry out blockade attacks from the sky.
Perhaps each Helicarrier could be assigned two or three superhumans—one using the Fire Cursed Seal, and the other two using the Physical Enhancement Serum.
That way, Project Insight would have far stronger safeguards.
Nick Fury rubbed his chin and pondered, "Looks like I'll have to open up the 084 vault to Kumogakure a little. Let them pick out two items first, and I'll put together a two-man team to see how it goes."

Coulson came to Simmons's Laboratory and asked in confusion, "What am I supposed to be looking at?"
Simmons operated the instruments and said, "Just wait."
The cells in the blood underwent an electrostatic reaction under the microscope.
Coulson asked curiously, "What is that?"
Simmons said excitedly, "A groundbreaking discovery. I think the firefighters were first exposed to the virus when they wiped down the helmet. The friction activated some kind of long-decayed Chitauri organism."
Coulson pointed at the screen and said, "Wait, did these cells come from the firefighter's corpse?"
Simmons nodded. "Yes. Brain cells. The last remaining infected part."
"Some viruses can 'sleep' inside host cells for years before reproducing."
"That's exactly what happened in the infection source—the helmet."
"But these cells show that this virus can spread, which means..."
Coulson said in a low voice, "The virus can spread from person to person."
Simmons said excitedly, "Exactly!"
However, Simmons did not notice that a pair of surgical forceps behind her had floated up, and she continued, "Its method of transmission isn't through the air or direct bodily-fluid contact, but through electrostatic shock. Nothing
