Sentinel

Chapter 94 Special Departments
Coulson stepped into the branch established in New York. The huge eagle emblem reflected silver light. He looked at the lengthy name under the logo, and wondered if he should suggest to the director to change to a shorter and easier to remember name. , The name of the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau is really a bit of a mouthful.

"Hi, long time no see, John." Coulson greeted a middle-aged man with a smile.

"What a rare visitor, Phil. It seems that there was indeed a lot of trouble yesterday about the mutants, otherwise Director Fury wouldn't have sent you here." Senior Agent John Garrett smiled heartily.

This middle-aged man with a strong body and a western cowboy look is a top eighth-level agent. He joined the special agency approved by the World Security Council at the same time as Coulson, and is now a manager of the New York branch.

"Yeah, Magneto, who is listed on the number one dangerous list, made his debut in a grand manner, and during the high-end summit meeting, a big man died, and the White House was extremely furious..."

Coulson gave a wry smile. The vacation he got with great difficulty was ruined because of this. He originally planned to go to Provence with his girlfriend for vacation, but now he can only postpone it for a while.

"We are already tracking down the whereabouts of Eric Lancer, the leader of the mutants, who has always been the object of our vigilance, but their strength is too strong, and it is difficult for ordinary low-level agents to monitor. As for Wes The Mutant Academy in Tchester is even more difficult to control, and all the agents conducting surveillance, seem to have been artificially deleted from their memories, and they don’t remember anything.”

Garrett shook his head helplessly. These threatening groups of mutants are not something ordinary people can contend with. They are born with powerful abilities, and unless they are specially trained senior agents, it is really difficult to deal with them.

"Has the director's plan passed?" The middle-aged man, who seemed to be rough, asked casually.

As one of the high-level personnel, Garrett knew that the black director had a very dangerous plan aimed at more and more superpowers, but it was difficult to get the approval of the World Security Council, so he put it on hold for a long time.

Coulson took a deep look at his old friend, and said lightly: "This is not something I should care about. I hope that group of mutants can calm down, so that I can at least take a vacation with peace of mind."

He followed Garrett to the file room where the materials were stored. Rows of shelves were lined with intelligence information sent by various low-level agents, and then classified according to different levels. Confidential information above B level would be sent to the office. When it comes to headquarters, even backups won't stay here.

Coulson came to the New York branch this time just to retrieve some old files. These low-level data files were not recorded in the database, but were stored in paper form.

"This is all the files of Erila Lancer. This guy has confronted the federal government many times, planned attacks, rescued mutants in custody, formed brotherhoods, and treated humans cruelly... Director Fury once specifically targeted He has made a capture plan, but the opponent's ability is too powerful, even with the polymer weapon made by Stark Industries, it is difficult to capture him alive."

Garrett pulled out a few documents and said, "And there are other mutants around Magneto. It is extremely difficult to decapitate or assassinate secretly."

Coulson nodded in agreement, of course he understands how difficult these mutants are, and Director Ferry also feels a headache about this. In the past, he used the moderate Professor Charles to contain Magneto's brotherhood, but with yesterday's incident Vicious incidents have intensified the conflict between the two sides, and the White House has become wary of this special group hidden in society.

However, Colonel Stryker, who had always maintained his stance against mutants, was a blessing in disguise. He received the attention of the White House and the military, and the research on mutants that had been put on hold began to be restarted.

"The White House needs Director Fury to come up with a mutant defense strategy. Not only Magneto and his brotherhood, but also Charles Xavier and his mutant academy will all be listed as dangerous elements. William -Colonel Stryker, a mutant defense team has been set up, these materials have been sorted out and will be handed over to him."

"Haha, it seems that Mr. Colonel got what he wanted." Garrett smiled. He had also heard rumors that Stryker hated mutants.

Coulson was sorting out the dusty archives. He shouldn't be doing this kind of thing. Just find a low-level agent or support staff. He just stopped by and took a chance to see his friends.

"Mutants are going to be unlucky." The senior agent who gave a sense of intimacy shook his head.

Putting the documents into the cardboard box, Coulson seemed to remember something, turned his head and asked, "Is there anyone worth paying attention to in New York recently? Mutants are enough to give us a headache, don't mess with those street heroes. What's going on?"

Garrett frowned, thought about it carefully, and then replied: "The group of guys have been surprisingly quiet recently. They started to fight against an extreme organization in Hell's Kitchen, and then disappeared. The Punisher, Daredevil There are no traces of people like them, and the New York Police Department is expected to open champagne to celebrate, and it is rare to have a peaceful day in that chaotic area where gangsters are rampant."

Coulson was quite surprised. He had served as a manager of the New York branch before, so he naturally knew that there were a group of guys with extraordinary abilities hidden in this city. Director Fury had listed them as surveillance targets a long time ago, and carried out simple investigations. Daily records to ensure that the other party will not commit any terrorist incidents that endanger national security.

For powerful characters such as The Punisher and Daredevil, generally speaking, those field agents will only roughly determine their whereabouts, and will not rashly interfere with their lives, or make contact easily, otherwise it will easily arouse the vigilance of the other party and revolt.

In short, it is to treat these dangerous elements who cannot be recruited as targets of surveillance and vigilance.

"We all strictly follow Director Fury's order, classify according to special events, and list some suspects as surveillance targets." Garrett smiled at Coulson. "However, I think your grading is too detailed. We are a special agency that deals with superpowers or unconventional incidents. Why do we even have to deal with gang vendettas!"

The rough-looking senior agent like a cowboy complained a bit. He still remembered that half a year ago, a high school student knocked down a few gangsters, and at the same time those gangsters were hit hard, and then a low-level rookie who performed field work actually took a boy under the age of 20. The student was listed as a surveillance object, and the other party was not crossed off the list until the suspicion was completely eliminated.

Even the FBI would laugh at them if this kind of thing got out. After all, cases like gangster vendettas were the responsibility of the New York Police Department to investigate.

"It's not the same everywhere. This is New York, so of course we have to be more cautious." Coulson comforted his friend.

This special department with huge hidden power has a meticulous and meticulous classification system, and has set up various authority levels to ensure the secrecy and security of the department. There are many things that Coulson himself cannot intervene.

Especially with the emergence of people with superpowers, their life is no longer as easy as before. It is no longer international terrorist organizations or private armed forces that execute special agents, and they face even more troublesome opponents.

"No wonder the director is so eager to pass that plan..." Coulson thought in his heart.

If you want to deal with a group of dangerous elements, you need to recruit another group of more dangerous ones.
