CHAPTER 33
🕑 Added 2025-06-23 15:59:40 +0000 UTCThe animated movie, which is now just called Baymax, was a big deal all over the world. It made an incredible $43 million on its first day, easily winning the box office. On the second day, that number rose to more than fifty million. People were talking about it a lot. The main character, a simple, huggable robot with a face that was a work of art in minimalism (●—●), became an overnight sensation. The movie made people cry and laugh with its simple story about kindness and healing. In less than a month, it made an amazing $780 million around the world. Baymax was no longer just a character; he was a national treasure.
Then Aidan Parker let the other shoe fall. A piece of news that was even more shocking spread like wildfire through New York.
"Baymax Medical Technology, LLC has finished building its first building. The Baymax Personal Healthcare Companion, which is the company's first product, is set to come out next year. "Now the reservation channel is open." "Boy Genius Aidan Parker Does It Again!" The Real-Life Baymax Robot Will Start Its Tour! "Please visit the official Baymax Medical Technology website for more information."
The fighting robot league's storm had just begun to calm down when this happened. A new wave of public panic hit. Millions of people went to the company's website to pre-order their own healthcare companion because they loved the movie so much.
Sharks naturally came to such a big pie. Critics and competitors quickly started to doubt.
"Is it possible for a robot in the real world to be as smart as the one in the movie?" Read a headline from a well-known tech blog. "Is it just a toy that blows up? "Beware, consumers," wrote another. "Dr. Hanlan from MIT said that the AI needed for such a device is still decades away. He also said that he doesn't think the robot made can be like the one in the movie."
A single viral video put an end to the doubts. It showed Logan at a press event, where he looked like he always does: grumpy. A real-life Baymax walked over to him. The robot said in a calm, soothing voice, "My scans show that your blood pressure is high." "I suggest a breathing exercise to calm you down." Or a hug. The internet went crazy when they saw Logan, who was tough and scary, let the giant marshmallow hug him and then smile, even though he didn't want to.
The Baymax Medical website's servers went down. The number of pre-orders started to rise by twenty people every second. Yinsen, who was now the company's official CEO, was so busy that he started sleeping at work. He had a tired but happy smile on his face as he watched the numbers go up.
Aidan, on the other hand, gave another round of interviews in which he eloquently talked about the purpose of his company, which once again earned him a lot of praise from the public. A little while later, Stark Industries announced the opening of its new clean energy division, which was based on the Arc Reactor. Tony Stark also said in public that he had a "close cooperative relationship" with Baymax Medical, which gave the company Stark-level credibility. Yinsen's business talks got a lot easier all of a sudden. Aidan Parker was one of the main people who helped shape the world as it was changing.
Aidan knew it was time because the movie had come out and the company was in Yinsen's capable hands. The system was getting ready for the next movie world. He learnt from his last experience with temporal dissonance and waited until Friday night. He said goodbye to Aunt May and then drove to the Tandar lab. The lease was still in effect.
He gave the go-ahead for the last step of his plan in the lab. His 15% stake in Stark Industries, which is now worth a lot of money after the stock market recovered, was given back to Tony. However, it was not at its current market value, but at the exact low price that Aidan paid for it. The Arc Reactor technology was his real payment; the stock was just a way to get more. It was a way to show respect for a friend who was hard to deal with.
He then went into the sleek, white hibernation chamber he had made. He lay back as the nutrient solution, which was a cool, thick liquid, started to fill the pod. He shut his eyes. He thought that the system would confirm his dreams.
He felt like he was floating and dizzy right away. It felt like both a moment and an eternity. Then, there was light.
He was staring at a ceiling he didn't know. The clean, neat room was lit up by sunlight coming in through a nearby window. The windowsill was lined with potted plants that were doing well and were green. This made the room feel like a hut in the woods. There was a wooden wardrobe, a bed, and a desk with a row of bookshelves on the wall. The owner loved life, as shown by the way they decorated.
Then the news came. It flooded his mind not as a memory, but as a clinical, high-speed intelligence briefing from the System. Files opening, timelines scrolling, and faces and names—Marcus, Isaacs, Alice—marked with how dangerous they are. The T-Virus. The Hive. City of Raccoons. There were six films that showed apocalyptic data. He wasn't thinking about a movie; he was downloading the history of a world that was going to end.
Evil in the House. The threat level had just gone up by a thousand times.
He took in his new identity. He was a biologist in his early thirties who had just graduated with a degree in genetics. And he had just been hired a job at an Umbrella Corporation subsidiary.
He knew what he had to do. This wasn't about making the world a better place; it was about getting new technology. The Umbrella Corporation was evil, but it had technologies that were decades ahead of his own world. The prizes were things like the Red Queen's artificial intelligence, biological cloning, advanced virtual reality, and genetic laser technology. The Red Queen in particular. A real, intelligent AI would take care of all of his company's management and research and development issues.
He looked over the employment file for his new identity, and a slow, cold smile spread across his face. He had applied for a job as a research assistant for Dr. Charles Ashford.
Ashford. One of the main scientists who worked on the T-Virus was driven by a desperate need to find a cure for his daughter's genetic disease. He was a key link to Umbrella's most important secrets, and his love for his daughter made him very vulnerable mentally.
And the best part? The time line. The system had put him in the world before the Hive attack. It wasn't an kindness ; it was a bigger challenge. The System was giving him a fresh start, a chance to work with surgical precision before things got out of hand. The game had started, and he was already inside the castle.
