The Monster That Wanted to be a Real Man

Quasimodo walked over the crumpled bodies of the AIM personnel as he began his search of the lab. The location was on a small unmarked island in the Pacific. Norman Osborn had discovered this group of AIM scientists, but saw them as little threat and wrote them off. Normally Quasimodo would agree, but this group had been studying a subject that interested him, biomechanics. They were looking for ways to create humanoids with bionic enhancements of a less mechanical nature. What the Living Computer wanted more than anything, was to attain a human body. If what these AIM scientists had tried to do worked, then feasibly not only could Quasimodo create a body for himself, but a body that would allow him to transfer his power as well. On that glorious day, his life would begin anew. He'd use Osborn's archives to make him a power unto himself.

"At last I will be the master. It will take time, but if there is one thing a living computer has, it's patience."

Quasimodo then began to sift through AIM's files.

"Kristoff can prepare a terminal for you without issue. It will allow you the access you seek." Doom says, nodding to his son.

Doom does not consider if Kristoff is thinking far enough ahead to engage all of the safety measures to keep their databases from being infiltrated, or if Kristoff knows to provide a terminal that does not have access to Doom's private network.

He does not consider these things because he knows that Kristoff will do so without prompting.

Like father, like son.

"Of course, Sir." Kristoff has indeed, already considered those precautions. "There is always much to keep up with," he agrees with the living computer. Which reminds him. He looks to his father before ushering Quasimodo off to said computer accomodation.
"Sire, I hope to talk to you shortly about that design work I commissioned for the project in Strelsau." About Stark.

	"We will discuss that once our guest has his accommodations." Doom says, nodding at Kristoff. "Join me for dinner, Kristoff and we'll discuss the designs you speak of." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Kristoff will nod politely and do exactly that. Once Quasimodo is situated -- and under discreet observation -- he will go to dinner. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lead the way, Dr. Vernard," Quasimodo says pleasantly. He takes notes of the "Streslau" comment but doesn't press the matter. He allows Kristoff to lead him to were he would be situated. He has to admit, even limited access to Doom's technology is an exciting prospect. This could be worthwhile afterall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Kristoff does lead the way. And during the course of the path there, he comments, "The Thinker played his part in the Intelligencia's ...excesses, did he not?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Quasimodo turns to Kristoff at that comment, his larger eye appearing to glisten a bit. "There's no need to give that wannabe scientist the courtesy of calling him by his chosen title. He is, whether he wants to admit it or not, the MAD Thinker. And yes, last I heard he was among their number." Quasimodo's humanoid eyebrow raises. "Why do you ask?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	latverianregent 2011-06-16 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	"It could be argued that the Intelligencia have already paid for their crimes of last year." Pause. "It could not be argued successfully to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Now Quasimodo is interested. "Something happened in the last year..something significant. So much so that Doom couldn't afford for this to be known to Osborn lest it be taken as a sign of weakness. This event was caused by the Intelligencia. Significant enough that even after a year you still desire vengeance for it. I can relate to putting vengeance off for greater purposes." Quasimodo says no more. Rather he waits to see what affect his analysis has on Kristoff.

	"It need not be discussed," Kristoff says with steel in his voice. "The Intelligencia know what they did to me. That will be enough, when the time comes. Do you know where the Mad Thinker is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	legends_baddie 2011-06-16 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	If Quasimodo was bothered by Kristoff's tone, he didn't show it. "I make it a point to know where to find him if the urge to destroy him is strong enough. My last reliable piece of information on him was that he was hiding under the patronage of a Lichtenstein noble." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That is interesting. We should speak of this later. Until then, there is no need to discuss any such matter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	legends_baddie 2011-06-16 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Indeed there isn't, Dr. Vernard." Still Quasimodo logs this conversation as important. Perhaps it could lead to his other, though less important, goal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Indeed. Your room." They've reached it. "Your terminal. The communications system is here," he gestures. "Please contact me if you need anything, and I will send one of the staff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	legends_baddie 2011-06-16 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you, Dr. Vernard. Perhaps will have occassion to chat again. It's a pleasure to speak with a learned individual. 'Til then, I will not keep you further." (Reply to this)(Parent)
