In May 2001, the affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D. became busier and busier.After several years of hard work, this defence organization, which is directly part of the World Security Council, has succeeded in establishing its own branches in all regions of the world.With the expansion of the "territory", the work content is becoming more and more complex.As the director, Fury spends almost every day on the plane, and he finally has a large team of assistants under his command to help him sort through the intelligence and information that comes from all over the world.As Merlin described, Fury was like a black spider lying in the middle of a spider's web that was getting bigger and bigger, sensing the dangers that had already happened or were about to happen.It's not enough to sense danger, he also needs fighters who can handle and prevent crises.One year ago, there were five special response units within S.H.I.E.L.D., and one year later, that number reached 12.One year ago, there were 57 departments in the Trident Building, and everyone had plenty of workplaces, but now, a year later, the entire Trident Building has been able to meet the needs of an ever-larger office community, even though the underground facilities have been activated.And friends Clint and Natasha, who used to occasionally act together, also have their own teams and exclusive functions, performing various tasks in various hot spots around the world all day long.Talking on the phone has become a luxury.Even Merlin, who has always been idle, was instructed by Fury to gradually spread the scope of S.D.O.L.D. supervision from New York City to the entire East Coast starting from 2 months.But the best news for S.D.O.L.D. is that the department, for reasons of confidentiality, does not need to compete for office resources in the increasingly crowded Trident building with the endless stream of new departments.Underneath the 21st Century Bell Telephone Company in the Old Town, an entire 6 floors of underground equipment can be used by S.D.O.L.D. agents at their disposal, and Merlin even has the "luxury" of building a shooting range and a combat training ground for his agents on the 6th basement floor, and if it weren't for the intervention of his superiors, he even plans to build an indoor swimming pool.Under Fury's repeated warnings, Merlin had to abandon the plan for an indoor swimming pool, but he stubbornly added large fish tanks to various offices...
Well, anyway, S.D.O.L.D. has a surplus of work funds every quarter, and before each grant period arrives, the heads of Merlin, Coulson, Melinda and Sharon, the heads of the main departments, have a headache, which can be called racking their brains to carry out a wave of surprise spending.This has almost become a "tradition" in this department.Even Miss Bloodstone, who is a consultant, has her own large office, which is very satisfying except for the poor lighting, especially the large desk that can be used to play Gwent cards.Today, however, the entire S.D.O.L.D. office area is very quiet.Each of the internal agents put on a crisp uniform and put on a dignified look, and the field agents who needed to go out on duty all showed a chill between the actions, trying to make themselves look intimidating.As the commander, Coulson rarely smeared his hair oil again, and the other two female commanders also put the guns and documents that they don't use very often in the most conspicuous position.It's like you're about to be inspected by a higher-up.But in reality, this is not the case.At 10 o'clock in the morning, Merlin, who was carrying a handbag, wearing a formal suit and glasses, walked into the office area on the basement floor with a serious face, he raised his hand, looked at the time, and then said to several trustworthy subordinates in front of him: "They will be here soon...
Did you better prepare?
”"No problem, sir!"
Today, Sharon, who wore light makeup, was wearing a blue and black uniform skirt, she crossed her arms and said indifferently: "We have all arranged it in advance, it will definitely make them remember!"
”"I've got the best field agents on the squad to help."
Melinda, who has capable short hair, also said coldly: "Those rookies don't want to get by, but anyone who fails the test will be driven out directly!"
”"I think it's a bit of a fuss."
Coulson brushed his shiny hair a little uncomfortable, he hadn't used hair oil since he started losing hair years ago.If it weren't for today's special occasion, he wouldn't have used the "culprit" that caused his hairline to rise. ”He said to his boss and colleagues with a hesitant face: "It's just a group of rookie agents who have just joined the department, we are having an orientation meeting, and we are not screening spies, such a battle is a bit too exaggerated." ”"You don't understand, Coulson."
Merlin looked at the spotless office as he said to the others, "This is the first large-scale recruitment of S.D.O.L.D. in the years since it was founded.The work content of our department is special, so the new people we need are different from other departments, even civilian and internal agents, they also need a high level of learning and adaptability, and I don't want to accept a bunch of soft and foolish eggs into the department. ”"Especially...
A few of you will soon be transferred out of headquarters to other areas on the East Coast to take on your new role as Regional Commander. ”Merlin sighed, and he said, "In the past few years, I have finally cultivated a group of trustworthy alien hunters, but now I have to spill them out. ”He shook his head and said softly, but unquestionably: "In this case, I must ensure that the newcomers are in the working state in the shortest possible time, otherwise the situation in New York, which has just been stable for less than a year, will be in turmoil again." ”"So, you have to make sure that the quality of the newcomers is guaranteed.We just want the best and the best!
”"Alright, let's go to work now."
Merlin clapped his hands and said to the others: "These two days will be very hard, I will personally interview a few newcomers recommended by Fury, and the rest of the rookies will be left to you." ”Soon, with several black buses from the headquarters parked in the parking lot of the 21st Century Bell Telephone Company, the recruitment of S.D.O.L.D. officially began.And Merlin, as the supreme commander of the department, he did not need to come forward immediately.After the recruitment is completed, there will be a big dinner party in his department, and at that time, Merlin will come forward to speak or something.He doesn't like to show up, but Hill, the temporary assistant, must have prepared a manuscript for him, and he can read it according to the manuscript when the time comes.Merlin sat in his office, on his desk, with several personnel files transferred from the director's office, which were several new agents who had just graduated from S.H.I.E.L.D. personally recommended by Fury, and were considered the "seed" players in this batch of newcomers.He leaned back in his chair, picked up the first file, and flipped through it."
Antoine.
Triplitt, a 2000-level graduate of S.H.I.E.L.D., has 2 years of experience in the military, comes from a family of agents, and his grandfather is Steve.
The members of Rogers' Roaring Commando, skilled in small arms shooting, airborne, combat and reconnaissance, have won the Purple Heart..."
Merlin looked at the young black man with a bright smile on the photo, he looked at the glorious resume of this line, and after a moment of thought, he picked up the seal on the table and lightly stamped it on the file.Well, this guy, got selected.Merlin picked up the second file, and the photo in this file was a pretty blonde beauty."
Barbara.'
Barbie' Morse, born in a family of secret agents, his parents were both logistics agents of the Strategic Science Corps, and an outstanding 2000 graduate of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he was the only student to receive perfect marks in Professor Natasha's camouflage and reconnaissance subjects...""
Well, there are very few girls in the department."
Merlin rubbed his chin as he looked at the file and said, "It's a lot like Melinda's template, maybe she can take over the vacancy left by Melinda." ”"Smack" another stamp stamped on the file.Then came the third serving."
Zheng Shangqi?
Martial arts consultant?
”Merlin frowned, looking at the honest photo, he shook his head."
The name is weird, the face is not likeable, and when he fights against the alien, he is simply looking for death for an ordinary agent, and there is no suitable place for him here.""
No!""
Smack" this file was thrown into the trash.And then the fourth."
Alfonso.
McKinsey, a 2000 graduating graduate of S.H.I.E.L.D., proficient in engineering and data...""
Bang, bang" Just as Merlin was reading the fourth personnel file, two knocks sounded on the door, he put down the papers in his hand, looked at the office door, and said, "Come in." ”The next moment, a handsome guy in a blue denim suit, short blond hair, and a soft face pushed open the door, poked his head out, and looked into the office, and when he saw Merlin, a smile immediately appeared on his handsome face."
Hi Mr.
Merlin, long time no see.""
Lincoln!"
Merlin didn't expect that the knock on the door was actually a young man who had a relationship in Afghanistan, and with a surprised expression, he beckoned to Lincoln, who was carrying a large bag, and after Lincoln sat down in the chair opposite him, he asked, "What are you doing here with me?"
Is your Inhuman transformation complete?
”"It was done 1 year ago."
Lincoln had a laid-back expression on his face, and there was much less gloom in the young man's eyes than he had been two years earlier, replaced by a touch of genuine peace from the heart.He said to Merlin, "I've been training in ability control in the 'afterlife' since I was separated from you, and 3 days ago, Instructor Gordon told me that I had a new mission. ”He lowered his head, searched in the large backpack he had with him, then took out a resume, handed it to Merlin, and said, "Sir Merlin, I, Lincoln.
Campbell, for the next 3 years, will work in your department as a representative of the Inhuman organization 'Afterlife', as well as a rookie agent.The main purpose is to assist the S.D.O.L.D. in finding Inhumans throughout North America, and according to their choice, send them to the 'afterlife', or dissolve their Inhuman instincts and turn them back into normal people. ”Merlin didn't answer immediately, he took Lincoln's resume, and after opening it, he saw that under the resume, there was already a seal from Fury's director's office and Fury's signature, which meant that Fury decided to do so.Probably some of the things that Fury agreed on after meeting with Jiaying, the leader of the afterlife, some time ago.Merlin did not object to this, if S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with the Inhuman organization, it would have to make initial contact, and in any way, it was appropriate to put Lincoln, who came from the Inhuman organization, in Merlin's department."
Well, if the director speaks in person, then I have no objection."
Merlin picked up his seal and prepared to put it on Lincoln's resume, but at this moment, he suddenly hesitated.He raised his head, put down the seal, supported his chin with both hands, looked at the gentle and handsome young man in front of him, and said, "But do you have the confidence to do this job yourself?"
Lincoln, you already know what our department does, right?
”"I know, I'm ready."
Lincoln took a deep breath, as if it were an interview, and he said to Merlin, "I will do my best to complete every task assigned to me!"
”"'Do your best' and 'get done' are two concepts, Agent Lincoln."
Merlin said slowly: "Maybe you think you are ready, but all this will be tested by time, if I think you are not suitable for this job, then I will not take into account the personal friendship between the two of us, and will let you pack up and go back to the 'afterlife', and you will be the one who will be disgraced then." ”"I'm willing to be tested!"

Lincoln shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm a graduate medical student, and I may not be able to do it, but I think given the nature of S.D.O.L.D.'
s work, we rarely get to the point where we need to kill with our own hands, right?"
”"Well, so to speak.But in appearance, many of the aliens are no different from humans. ”"They're going to get hurt, they're going to bleed, and killing them feels no different than killing someone," Merlin said. ”"But physiologically, they're two species."
Lincoln replied, "I've also dissected frogs in the lab, and it did feel a little bad at first, but then it got much better."
So I think I'll probably be able to adapt very quickly. ”"Good!"
Merlin nodded, picked up the seal, stamped it on the personnel file, and said, "This mentality is good."
Take your resume to Agent Coulson, and then prepare to receive half a month of alien knowledge and combat training, I'm looking forward to your integration into my department, Agent Lincoln.
Campbell. ”"Yes!
Sir Merlin. ”Lincoln seemed to get into the role quickly, he stood up, straightened his clothes, picked up his bag, and was about to leave Merlin's office, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, took out a folded envelope from his pocket, put it on Merlin's desk, and said to his superior, "Sir, this is the information that Instructor Gordon asked me to bring you." ”"All the information about that obelisk is on it, and he asked me to tell you to destroy it after reading it, this thing is one of the biggest secrets of the Inhuman race, and it must not be passed on."
Merlin picked up the letter, pulled out three pages of the letterhead, and waved his hand at Lincoln, "Go about your business." ”"Keep it a secret, I'm good at it
