"The Zola Algorithm aboard the Helicarriers can only work once they reach the designated altitude and connect to the satellites."
"The virus on this chip can temporarily disable the satellites. I can turn those three Helicarriers blind."
Tony spoke with easy confidence, a hint of mischief on his handsome face.
"At the same time, once the virus infiltrates S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system, JARVIS can crack its access controls from within. Then none of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secrets will be secrets anymore."
He spread his hands. "Once the plan succeeds, I'll even know exactly how many moles Captain America has on his ass."
"Hey, couldn't you pick a better example?"
Tony's bizarre description left Steve both annoyed and helpless.
"This chip can control the satellites? That's not something you could put together in a week or two. How long have you been preparing for this?"
He had picked up on the key point.
"I started investigating after S.H.I.E.L.D.'s higher-ups insisted on launching that nuclear bomb over my objections."
Nick Fury answered coldly, "Looking at it now, Pierce was very likely the reason the World Security Council agreed to launch it."
"Project Insight was originally meant to prevent another crisis like the Chitauri invasion. But as the project progressed smoothly, what had happened before remained a gulf I couldn't cross. All the obstacles to my internal investigation only made me more inclined to contact Stark."
"So before the satellites were launched, while the Helicarriers were still under construction, we had already begun working on a way to control and stop Project Insight."
"With this chip, things should be easy, then."
Paimon clapped happily. She glanced at everyone else's expressions and asked in confusion:
"Huh? Why do you all still look so worried?"
Tony turned the chip over in his hand and shook his head. "It's not
