The Origin of Marvel’s Native Foundation 28: The Truth About the Chaos Insurgency?

has encountered the Chaos Insurgency in Hell’s Kitchen.] [Rumor Points obtained: 5,000.] [Anomaly summoning successful.] [Reward obtained: D-Class Foundation Branch Base — New York Sector.] [Reward obtained: 2,000 base personnel, including staff and security forces.] [Reward obtained: Mobile Task Force Nu-7 “Hammer Down” Unit Card.] [Reward obtained: Service Pistol Upgrade Card.] Aboard a V-44X Blackfish currently flying toward New York, Ethan raised an eyebrow as the system notifications suddenly appeared.

The Chaos Insurgency?

What was going on?

Why would that organization exist in this world?

According to the Foundation lore Ethan remembered from his previous life, the Chaos Insurgency had originated from a faction that broke away from the Foundation after being corrupted by its own ambitions and desires.

Logically speaking, an organization like that shouldn’t exist in this universe.

“System, why does the Chaos Insurgency exist in this world?” To Ethan’s surprise, the system actually answered him.

[Host has acquired E-Class Foundation clearance.] [Relevant information is now available for inquiry.] [As previously disclosed, this world has already suffered anomalous erosion for several decades.] [During World War II, a Mobile Task Force encountered a space-time storm while carrying out a containment operation and was transported into this world.] [Although the MTF successfully contained the anomaly, the unit itself was almost completely wiped out.] [The handful of surviving Mobile Task Force operators were subsequently recovered by Allied forces and remnants of HYDRA.] [Several operators who fell into Allied hands assisted the United States in establishing this world’s native Foundation-related organization: the Strategic Security Administration.] [However, the MTF operator recovered by the HYDRA remnants happened to be a member of the Chaos Insurgency.] [As a result, that HYDRA remnant eventually broke away from HYDRA.] [After absorbing part of the MTF’s technology, they established this world’s version of the Chaos Insurgency.] Hearing this, Ethan calmly opened a can of Coke and continued questioning the system in his mind.

“So what happened afterward?” “Are any of those original MTF operators still alive?” [One of the original operators remains alive within the Strategic Security Administration.] [The others, including the Chaos Insurgency operative, have already died.] [Since then, this world’s Chaos Insurgency and the Strategic Security Administration have remained hostile toward one another.] [Because both organizations operated under extreme secrecy, neither S.H.I.E.L.D.

nor HYDRA became aware of their existence.] Ethan took another sip.

“Then in terms of combat strength, how powerful is this world’s Chaos Insurgency?” “How do they compare with the Foundation under my command?” There was a brief pause.

[Ding!

This information requires an additional fee of 1,000 Rumor Points.] Ethan’s mouth twitched.

“You’re seriously charging me for intelligence now?” “Fine.

Deduct the 1,000 Rumor Points and tell me.” [Ding!

1,000 Rumor Points received.] [Answer: They are incapable of posing a serious threat to Host’s Foundation.] [This world’s Chaos Insurgency inherited only a portion of Mobile Task Force technology.] [Unlike the true Chaos Insurgency of the anomaly universe, they lack the support of a complete technological and organizational system.] [They have been forced to reverse-engineer the equipment left behind.] [Ultimately, they are merely an imperfect byproduct created by this world’s anomalous erosion.] [However, this world’s Chaos Insurgency has gradually specialized in biotechnology.] [They may therefore cause Host a certain degree of trouble.] Another notification appeared.

[New Side Mission triggered: Eliminate Marvel Earth’s native Chaos Insurgency.] [Rewards will be issued according to the number of Chaos Insurgency forces eliminated and the overall degree to which the organization is dismantled.] [New Side Mission triggered: Recover the assets of the Strategic Security Administration.] [System rewards will be granted whenever Host recovers a sufficient quantity of Strategic Security Administration assets.] Ethan hadn’t expected there to be such a complicated chain of cause and effect.

Both the Chaos Insurgency and the Strategic Security Administration in this world had apparently been created by the butterfly effect caused by a Mobile Task Force being transported here during World War II.

Then Ethan suddenly remembered something.

“System.” “The anomaly that MTF was containing back then…” “Don’t tell me that counts as one of the assets too.” [Correct, Host.] [Contained anomalies are included among recoverable assets.] [They are also among the most valuable assets.] [However, Host is advised to focus on the containment mission currently in progress.] At that moment, 2B walked out from the cockpit.

Her cool, melodious voice sounded through the cabin.

“Commander, the Helljumpers Mobile Task Force will reach the outskirts of New York in thirty minutes.” Ethan nodded.

“Have the aircraft land at the Foundation’s D-Class New York Branch Base.” “Afterward, deploy units into Hell’s Kitchen and begin the investigation.” “Understood, Commander.” “I’ll transmit your orders immediately.” 2B turned and headed back toward the command systems.

By now, she was no longer serving only as Ethan’s bodyguard.

Thanks to her integrated communications and command systems, she had temporarily taken on the role of his adjutant as well.

At the moment, she looked like an elegant and composed female aide.

But anyone foolish enough to underestimate her because of that appearance would pay a bloody price.

This was 2B, one of the most powerful combat androids from the world of NieR:Automata.

Her individual combat ability was enough to effortlessly destroy a modern heavy armored brigade.

If she ever decided to give someone an annoyed little punch to the chest…

That person probably wouldn’t have a chest left afterward.

Ethan raised the can of Coke and drained the rest in one gulp.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

“Things are getting more interesting.” “The difficulty of the E-Class mission is rising…” “But that means the rewards are probably going to be enormous too.”
