Chapter 14 - Chapter 14

I no longer had conventional tinker limits, and once I got the chance to create a time lock room and/or necklace. I would no longer be bound by the conventions of time itself. Anyway, the control and command room was protected by twenty feet of proto-adamantium along with reinforced rebar made of the same, with vibranium mixed into the cement. I wasn't about the life of being raided and I wanted a secure bunker to defend from. The command center even had its own air recycling systems and replicators for food and bathroom facilities.

Even the power plant system was protected in how it connected with the hospital as the main power ran up the building and branched off at each floor. The junction boxes were located in a janitor's room and only the head electrician and security would have access. The same was done for the servers because fuck getting hacked or allowing just anyone access. There would be no cutting the power or data lines of my hospital.

Hell, I even ran a line under the bay to connect to the ferry station on this side of the bay, even though it wasn't connected. I would rather prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

My first action was to swap out the aluminum and steel mix that made up the hospital's sliding doors and replaced them with something a lot stronger, and I do mean a lot. Titanium-A was from the Halo universe, and it was not only space worthy, it was also what their starships were made out of.

I was going to use proto-adamantium for the main supports, but Titanium-A was perfect for the outer face of the hospital. Arcanine walked at a lazy pace beside me as I walked the entire 1st floor of the hospital fixing, replacing, or cleaning up all that I could scan. This all worked because of the scanner tractor-beam combo I was running. I could get a scan of the material, like laminate flooring, then change it to marble flooring.

The outside windows got a massive upgrade and I had to stop for a quick 30 while I puzzled out the solution before just applying it to the whole building. You see, I felt that even though I had a fusion reactor in the basement, that it just might not be enough somewhere along the lines. So while I was swapping out the windows for triple-paned windows, I got a mad idea. Well, that mad idea took me down a rabbit hole of discovery.

One of the materials that I had scanned into my tesseract was transparisteel from star wars. It was another hull construction material which was basically clear metal. Now, normally that wouldn't be any sort of issue, but I figure if they could make metal that could allow photons right through it. Then why couldn't I add PV cells to the freaking things and use that as a way to generate more power.

Then I had to create a dimensional power bank in the command room because I wanted something capable of taking more than 20% of the power the sun could produce. A little bit of digging and research later had my power collection sitting around 73%, which would have been great if it didn't generate so much freaking heat. Yeah, it turns out that collecting all of that solar power generated a lot of heat. Arcanine had absolutely no problem with this as he rubbed his massive frame against the first transparisteel solar panel I had created.

No way I was going to slide something like this under the rug, so I swapped out all the other windows of the hospital with the transparisteel solar variant. Then I added a new water cooling system that ran around the panels where the grooves and holders of the window panes were located. I didn't need all that power now, but I might later on, so I might as well collect it for a rainy day.

A few times, the PRT had sent someone out to knock on the barrier surrounding the hospital, but they were all ignored as I worked through the day. I had gotten a call from Quinn while I worked on the back half of the hospital, but that was only an update on the situation at my house. The police had taken all of the bodies away, but they didn't want me to leave the city or the state soon since that was part of the protocol.

I, of course, replied that I wouldn't because not only would that be foolish, but I also had things to keep me busy. Plus, I knew the Empire was going to retaliate for me killing Hookwolf, and I wanted them to come.

Night had fallen by the time I had gotten done fixing up the 1st floor, cleaning the parking garage, and redoing all of the windows of the hospital. By the time I dragged my bone-tired body back to the apartments, Tsunade was curled up on the couch with a book in hand while Arcanine was snoozing at her feet. The enchanted transparisteel solar panel window wasn't even showing the bay. Instead, Tsunade had it shifted to a sunset somewhere that I couldn't tell the location just from a glance.

I couldn't even say anything, she did, after all, call me home earlier as the sun was going down, so this was only my fault. With a snort, I walked past them both and found my food already waiting in the replicator for me, kept perfectly heated by the stasis field. Not going to lie; I did forget to fix up my home with all that I was dealing with during the day. I still had safe houses that would need fixing, but those could wait for later.

I was just happy Tsunade was here to put a lady's touch on the place because if I was alone. I would just eat my food while I sat my ass down on the bare marble floor. Two bites was all it took before Arcanine was awake and giving me sad puppy dog eyes. Rolling my own eyes at the big baby, I pulled up my omni-tool and sent a command to the replicator. With a ding, a massive meaty cow leg was produced. With a little application of telekinesis, I brought it over and rested it on a plate for Arcanine.
