I'm unsure on how fast we could expand and right now as we're starting up would be one of the easier times to get infiltrated.

I also figured that if we get it installed now we can always improve it as we go, that and Fury's paranoia would absolutely demand it being done now.

Fair enough, that just means I'll probably have to google a few things since I'm not that aware of the comic lore....... that's a black hole I'd never climb out of.

    • I'd expect every canon hero to need an arc and efforts, but I am now just going "what if we got Hawkeye, BJ and Winchester..... but not Potter."

    I feel vaguely Fury would just fire them.

    More serious question:
    I assume we'll have, later, options about international cooperation?
