I couldn't help but feel like this whole thing was my fault. That bomb was intended for me. I was the target not those officers.
A week passed and all of New York City blamed me for the attack, which was fair. The Bugle single handedly used its knack for defamation to make sense of everything that happened.
"New York was a peaceful place before that Spider Menace came and decided to stick his nose in everything!" The radio blasted.
"How can you listen to that crap?" Otto sighed as he turned it off.
"What you don't like the sound of Jameson's soothing voice?" I asked sarcastically.
"Certainly not. He reminds me of a donkey thats constantly braying." Otto sighed.
Doc was a genius of many things, sarcasm however, was not his strong suit.
"You ready to run diagnostics?" I asked him as I walked over to the computer.
After OSCORP took everything I went dumpster diving to find old tech pieces that we could use, including the laptop I was about to run diagnostics on.
"Yes fire her up." Otto instructed.
As the system ran I couldn't help but eye Otto's desk again. The OSCORP file still sat there slightly hidden within the mess.
"Doc what do you know about the Genali device?" I asked.
Otto flinched slightly as I asked him that question.
"I just couldn't help but see the file." I admitted.
"It makes sense for you to be curious Peter. After all you have been spending a lot of time here." He started.
"I didn't mean to pry-" I tried.
"Its alright Peter, you're young and curious, its only fair I shed some light. The Genali device was a machine Norman and I created long ago. It was meant to be used in countries that did not have access to proper medical care. It could take large sums of vaccines and change their state of matter to a more volatile substance. The thought of this device would be to cure millions."
"I'm sensing a but here." I laughed.
"- But Norman wanted to sell it off as a weapon. Instead of curing millions the device could be used to release a deadly pathogen." He explained.
"And you kept the blue prints so it couldn't be recreated?" I inquired.
"Precisely. Unfortunately it did not go unnoticed which in turn led to the dismay between Norman and I." He further explained.
"Diagnostics complete: Results - Failure." The computer chimed.
"What?! That can't be! We did everything right." Doc exclaimed as he looked at the damaged laptop.
"It says that its not a strong enough signal to connect." I explained.
"We'd need to create something that will be able to read the neuron feedback from our subjects brain waves, in order to register the signals in their nerves." Doc explained.
"Why not create a sensor to read the brainwaves?" I inquired.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"You know how in hospitals that use sensors to monitor your heartbeat or brain waves? We can incorporate that with your new design. It would be easier and less invasive than a brain chip like we previously discussed." I explained.
"It couldn't be that easy? Could it?" He laughed.
"We have nothing to loose. Why not try?" I chuckled.
"You're intelligence never ceases to amaze me Peter." Doc stated.
