MTLNOVEL Chapter 155: 150
Because of the attack and kidnapping last time negotiations had to be restarted between earth and the Thanagarian empire. Fortunately I wasn't required to be there cause as Rocket pointed out I hadn't contributed anything of substance during the meeting.
Black technology has been recently mostly focused on terraforming and planetary construction. This has led to shortages in proper staffing for other projects. I could gone through the arduous task of listing the job, looking through various candidates, checking backgrounds trying to remember if they were spies in comics or some psychotic super villain but that seemed like too much work. Fortunately I have option B, I would summon someone from the system. Sure it would likely piss off Miranda as she technically the acting CEO for the company and I should probably consult with her first.
Normally I probably would have but I honestly didn't have it in me to care as she kept complaining about needing an expert virologist as we recently obtained a sample of Extemis virus from Silvija. The problem was that the virus makes people into walking bombs meaning that no one with ethics would want anything to do with it. This also meant that those that would were likely to stab you in the back and run away with the virus. Then it didn't matter if they sold it or used it on themselves or even made a cult point is that it would be gone. I needed someone capable of walking along the razors edge of loyalty and lacking ethics it also wouldn't hurt if they looked nice.
This is why I chose to summon Excella Gione she was a brilliant mind for viruses as well as for business and as a added bonus she probably doesn't have a pesky soul to get in the way decision making. Most of her knowledge about viruses comes from the genius Albert Wesker but even I don't trust him enough to summon that particular menace to my reality even with the systems restrictions. So I decided to summon her at home where I would have the greatest amount of control of the situation and Cortona could contain her if necessary.
Excella: Wesker why!? You fucking asshole!
The very second she appeared she seemed to be mid rant cursing Wesker's betrayal meaning that she was likely going to be infected remotely instead directly somehow. Again this was exactly why I was against summoning him in the first place as Wesker is a selfish ass and a general shit stirrer wherever he goes. I would trust his version of loyalty and obedience. Excella finally began to realize that she wasn't wherever she was just before but instead she found herself in what she believed to be as some sort of umbrella facility given how advanced it is based upon appearance alone. It didn't help that Cortona was glowing at my side next to me looking a vastly improved red queen.
Excella: What the fuck? Did I get somehow brought to a Umbrella facility?
This was odd usually everyone that was summoned usually understood why they were here or at least how they arrived.
"No you were summoned here by me didn't you receive the agreement before you arrived?"
Excella: Of course I didn't... wait there was something... when I was signing my executive employment contract. Something about getting potentially summoned to another reality in case of imminent danger I tried to bring it up to the other executives but they said it seemed standard to them. No one I asked seemed overly concerned eventually I just signed it to gain my executive seat at Tricell
"Yes, and in the contract you agreed to become essentially a servant and usually the individual is aware of it prior to being summoned"
Excella: So now that I am here what reason was I summoned because so far examining the room all I could possibly assume is that you brought me here to part of your harem; and although it is flattering that you find me attractive enough to reach across realities I'm going to assume that there was another reason.
"While you are definitely gorgeous and suitable for my harem I actually summoned to take control of virology department of my company as we have recently acquired a extremely valuable sample that we were looking to optimize and knowing your history you seemed perfect for the position"
Without further explanation I passed her a tablet already opened to all of the relevant data about the Extemis Virus. She began scrolling through the information she seemed shocked and intrigued by a viral super soldier serum which came with fire based powers and a healing factor. When she came to the part that listed the possibility of becoming a human bomb she only raised an eyebrow instead of the typical large reaction most would give in her situation but considering she was used to people turning into monstrous undead this barely deserved a reaction.
Excella: I can see why you summoned me... but I can't help wondering why you didn't try to summon Albert Wesker instead considering that... although I am ashamed to admit it that he far surpasses me in the field of Virology
"I wouldn't be able to trust Wesker even within the confines of the agreement that the summoning would summon him with"
Excella: what do you mean confines of the agreement?
"When I said servant I was being generous because when you were summoned here there were two major conditions first your loyalty was absolutely to me and secondly you were obedient to me"
Excella: So I don't get paid?
"Your excepting your new reality quite easily"
Excella: Well my current predicament requires me to earn my masters favor for benefits it's essentially a corporate structure and I know I capable of climbing aggressively to the top even if it means climbing on top
Excella leaned in suggestively as her voice became husky. I could have stopped her but she was making a compelling case in showing what she had to offer who was I to complain.
