Deathstroke's next stop was S.W.O.R.D. headquarters. After all, the many spacecraft leaving Earth needed to be scheduled through S.W.O.R.D.'s Low Earth Orbit Space Station to ensure that Earth's basic traffic order did not run into problems.
The last time he came here, construction had not yet been fully completed. But this time, the enormous structure resembling a multilayered flying saucer had already revealed its full form.
Its white metal shell reflected the sunlight, while the protruding "tentacles" were actually docks for spacecraft.
As Earth rotated, it slowly rotated as well. Countless small spacecraft passed through the surrounding airspace, like little mosquitoes buzzing around a large loaf of bread.
Some people did not rush to jump into deep space after entering orbit. Instead, they came here first. Whether out of curiosity or concern, the S.W.O.R.D. space station gave them some psychological breathing room.
When S.W.O.R.D. was first established, Su Ming had been heavily involved in the project. The Men in Black scattered throughout the station were, in fact, his subordinates.
Of course, they nominally fell under United Nations management, which had authorized Captain Carol Danvers to take full command. Among the candidates "known" to the politicians, she was the most powerful and most properly credentialed Earth soldier.
Daisy, Thor, was not weak either, but her power came from Mjolnir. Since it involved something divine, many people took a cautious wait-and-see attitude.
Blue Marvel was qualified as well, but he was a scientist. He had previously served in the lowest-ranking Marine Corps, lacked experience dealing with Aliens, and was more than a step behind Carol, who had even served in the Kree Empire.
S.P.E.A.R. Agency actually had capable people who could have been used, but everyone knew how the United Nations worked. They would never hand command of such an important facility
