Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 360 Dilemma
In fact, at the same time that Dr. Otto stopped the two, Dr. Banner on the other side had already quickly run to a computer screen that seemed to be the room's main control panel and started typing away.

Clearly, this time he could no longer rely on 'technical means' to brute-force his way through, and could only honestly and quickly browse the information on the screen, trying to find a breakthrough.

However, just as Dr. Banner was fully focused on his operation and everyone was holding their breath in anticipation, the speakers in the room suddenly started playing without warning.

"Dr. Banner, please stop your hacking of the system program."

The sudden appearance of that cold female voice instantly put everyone in the room on edge.

Only Bruce Banner, after his initial surprise, showed a strange expression on his face and asked hesitantly.

"Are you Friday?"

"Yes, please stop your unauthorized intrusion into the system."

As Friday's electronic female voice broadcasted through the speakers, lines of data flashed rapidly across the virtual screen in front of Dr. Banner.

Soon, all his previous actions were erased and wiped clean. Even the virtual screen itself was completely locked, leaving only a blurry female face, making it impossible to perform any further actions.

Before Banner could react, Harry, who had just been put down by Dr. Otto, could no longer contain himself and roared angrily at the screen.

"Release my father!!"

“I’m sorry, Mr. Harry Osborn, you do not have that authority.”

The electronic female voice remained cold and devoid of any emotion.

It clearly recognized the identities of those present, yet it still mechanically executed the preset program.

Even when he sensed that Harry was on the verge of losing control, Friday "thoughtfully" gave him a warning.

"I do not recommend that you forcibly change the current state of the detainees, as this may cause irreversible damage to their brains and result in data loss in the subsequent memory retrieval process."

The cold, electronic voice echoed in the closed detention room, and Friday's emotionless statement was like a bucket of ice water poured on everyone's hearts.

Given Friday's current attitude, making such a reminder is clearly not out of goodwill, but simply to protect Skrull property from loss.

Its words shattered the last shred of hope in Harry's heart.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the blurry outline of a woman's face on the screen, his voice trembling with rage.

"Memory extraction! What are you talking about? Aren't you the AI ​​created by Mr. Stark?!"

With that, Harry pointed directly at Tony Stark, who was also sleeping in a hibernation pod, and roared at him.

"Is he also one of your targets for imprisoning and extracting memories?!"

Unfortunately, for an AI like Friday that doesn't possess many emotional modules, Harry's angry questioning had no effect whatsoever, and it calmly gave its reply.

"Mr. Tony Stark has transferred core authority to Queen Gaya of the Skrulls. My priority now is to ensure the integrity of the materials needed for the Super Skrull Project. Mr. Tony Stark and Norman Osborn, among other targets, are critical materials that need to be protected."

At this moment, the cold ruthlessness of mechanical intelligence was laid bare before everyone's eyes.

"Response complete. The risk of forcibly destroying the life support pod remains. Internal defense protocol activated."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of 'click' sounds came from the surrounding walls, and several hidden cannon muzzles instantly emerged, pointing directly at the people in the room.

"Please evacuate the room within ten seconds, or the cleanup process will begin. 1098" The cold countdown began.

However, what distressed everyone the most was not those chilling cannon barrels.

With the operating procedures locked down on Friday, Natasha and the others didn't even dare to forcibly cut off the power or move the life support pods, fearing that reckless operation might cause brain damage to Tony and the others.

But if they do nothing, not to mention the defensive turrets in this room, it probably won't be long before more Skrull guards come to deal with them.

If these life support pods are destroyed in the fighting, what then?
Everyone present was immediately caught in a dilemma, feeling extremely frustrated.

"We must find that Skrull Queen first!"

Of the group, Natasha, being the most rational, was the first to react. Without even glancing at Tony and Clint, who were still unconscious in the life support pod, she rushed out of the room.

Since staying here won't help with the rescue, it's better to leave quickly to avoid the upcoming shelling harming our unconscious comrades.

Moreover, Natasha has realized that since Friday, this artificial intelligence, only recognizes command permissions.

So whether they capture the Skrull Queen alive, or meet her and use the transformation watch Luca gave her to scan and transform, as long as they seize core access, they might be able to directly control this entire space station and end all of this.

Dr. Banner, who also realized this, rushed out of the room and offered another suggestion.

"We can find Friday's core server, and as long as it is physically destroyed or the signal data connection is cut off, we can safely shut down the life support pod using the independent system here."

"Dr. Banner, your behavior is extremely dangerous. This is a warning."

This time, Friday's cold electronic voice didn't anger everyone; instead, it gave them a pleasant surprise.

'Since it wants to stop it, it means this approach will achieve its goal!'

However, just as everyone was rushing out of the detention cell again on the countdown clock, a huge explosion was heard from the space station.

Immediately afterwards, the entire space station seemed to tremble slightly from the explosion.

"What's going on? Luca has broken in?"

Everyone present was stunned by the sudden explosion.

However, what they didn't know was that they had just set this goal.

The Skrull queen was the real culprit behind this explosion.

In a laboratory not far from this cell, inside a huge, constantly rotating and glowing instrument, Jia Ya had finally completed her long-awaited 'Super Skrull' enhancement.

The reason why the Skrulls were in such chaos just now, and why Natasha and her group fought their way to the detention room without many people stopping them.

This is because Queen Gaya of the Skrulls is undergoing a critical transformation into a 'Super Skrull'.

The moment the transformation was completed, I heard Lucan's mocking 'surrender' from outside the space station.

Enraged, Jia Ya unleashed her power, transforming into golden light and crashing through the wall.

It roared into space amidst the explosion.
