"what?" "where'd all this wind... #3:" "Reap the whirlwind" "This is the Arc Station's new security system, an EMP device." "Looks rather underdeveloped." "Form is secondary to function." "This EMP generator can send out an electromagnetic pulse that's capable of overloading any targeting device, frying its circuits and disabling it." "Very well." "Breaking into this place ought to be even more difficult now." "As difficult as getting you to smile." "Let's continue, shall we?" "we're still conducting trial phases, so it's a bit limited." "But we can increase its power as we develop it." "I hope so." "Hello?" "Dr. Tanaka?" "Thank God, you're safe!" "Professor Yamaguchi?" "It's been a while." "Is everything all right?" "No, I think my life is in danger." "They already got Professor Ohno!" "If you're not careful..." "Professor?" "Professor Yamaguchi!" "Professor Yamaguchi, can you hear me?" "what happened?" "Professor!" "Nanami!" "There are better things to do than to read the competition's magazine!" "And you're not being paid to sit around and eat!" "Ouch, ouch, ouch." "Actually, Chief, you may want to have a look at this." "why?" "what is it?" ""Meteorologist, Satoshi Yamaguchi, killed by tornado while driving..."" "And I care because?" "Because only a day earlier, a college professor was also killed by a tornado." "Don't you think there's some sort of connection between the two?" "Control Tower, requesting permission to land." "Over." "Roger that." "You're clear for landing." "what the..." "Earthquake?" "Look!" "That can't be!" "A tornado!" "An F4, maybe even an F5!" "we've never seen a tornado that size in Japan before!" "It'll be here any second!" "Do we evacuate?" "No!" "It's too late!" "This can't be happening." "Look at that!" "Iron Man?" "lnitiate thermal sensors." "I knew this wasn't just a tornado." "I prefer traveling in a limo." "what the hell..." "Damn." "The Zodiac again." "Interesting." "Professor Sakamoto." "Long time no see." "May I?" "Of course, Dr. Tanaka." "I trust you are doing well?" "Yes, thank you." "Checkmate." "what?" "wait a minute." "May I ask who this is?" "This young lady's a reporter." "Her name is..." "Nanami Ota." "I dropped by to get the Professor's opinion on a string of recent tornadoes." "I thought it would be good to get an expert's opinion." "Right." "Excellent timing." "You can ask Dr. Tanaka here." "She was a brilliant meteorology student." "That was years ago." "I'm sorry, not to be rude, but who are you?" "Dr. Chika Tanaka." "I work for Lab 23." "Lab 23?" "Really?" "That's the research and development lab associated with Stark Industries, isn't it?" "Do you know Tony Stark personally?" "I work with him, but I wouldn't say I know him." "Got something for ya!" "It's not working." "You monster!" "So how about it?" "Can I get your take on these tornadoes?" "And anything you can share about Mr. Stark would, of course, be amazing." "which tabloid are you with?" "I'm with the Tokyo Journal." "Is that so?" "what do you think, Professor Sakamoto, about the puzzling deaths of both Professor Ohno and Professor Yamaguchi?" "It's as if both were sucked into tornadoes or something of the like." "I know what you're implying." "That there may be ties to our old research program, the Tesla Project." "Am I right, Dr. Tanaka?" "wait, what's the Tesla Project?" "It was a research initiative in weather manipulation." "we were exploring methods to control natural disasters like typhoons." "It was groundbreaking work." "We gathered a team of field experts and worked around the clock." "But the project was frozen before we could perfect things." "But why?" "It could have done so much good." "Japan is run by idiots, that's why." "There was no warning." "They were too short-sighted to see how revolutionary our findings truly were." "In light of these recent tornadoes," "I'd say the Tesla Project isn't as dead as we thought." "Absurd." "Every scrap of research data was sealed away." "what's happening?" "Professor Sakamoto!" "Professor!" "Call an ambulance." "Quick!" "Okay!" "Take care of my armor." "Damn it." "Your injury doesn't look serious." "And you are?" "You need to get out of our way if you can move." "we're trying to tend to the injured." "Hey. wait a second." "Look, is there anything I can do to help?" "There's nothing you can do here." "why don't you go home and lie on that plush bed of yours?" "Come over here." "Give me a hand." "Hey, where's the crane I asked for?" "Road conditions are pretty bad." "It's going to take a little longer." "Damn it." "I don't know how much longer we can wait." "It's dangerous here." "Please stand back!" "Let me through." "I'm telling you I can help here." "I can't allow that, sir." "Now, step back!" "what's going on?" "Look, I don't have my armor with me but I'm offering you whatever help you need." "This has nothing to do with you." "Get out of here!" "I get it, you don't like me." "But now is not the time to let your emotions control you." "If you need more equipment, I can get it for you!" "You're a devil's advocate who became rich by trading weapons." "I don't need help from a man like you." "That was years ago." "In any case, civilians are not allowed to enter." "Now get lost!" "Excuse me!" "I just received report that a massive tornado hit a U.S. military base." "Isn't that also connected to your research?" "I want to hear more details." "Oh, man!" "what?" "Not so fast!" "You were a little overthe speed limit there." "How persistent." "I may still be a newbie, but I'm pretty tenacious." "Hurry up!" "Pull it towards us!" "Good!" "Hold it right there!" "Okay!" "Ease off!" "This is the last warning." "You're in the way." "Now get out!" "But you're not my boss." "what?" "Damn it!" "we need that equipment!" "where is it?" "The road is still blocked with debris." "They'll be held up for a while!" "No!" "It's going under!" "Get a rope!" "Hurry up, before it's too late!" "Idiot!" "He's up!" "Get a line and a life preserver right away!" "Hang in there." "That's strange." "Someone opened the encrypted files." "Only research members have access to those files." "where did they log in from?" "So what exactly are we looking at here?" "I mean, I have no clue what's happening." "Are you gonna say anything?" "Hello?" "what's the Tesla Project you were talking about before?" "Please answer!" "we combined Nikola Tesla's electromagnetic dynamics with the butterfly theory, assimilated it and applied meteorology to it, in an attempt to turn the whole world into a massive electromagnetic device." "Miss Ota, right?" "Let me tell you something." "I don't like people like you." "Hurtful." "This email extension..." "It's from Professor Sakamoto's University!" "The person who hacked this file..." "Did you find something?" "Professor!" "Professor. what the hell are you... I finally found an organization that understands and appreciates my work." "I gave them everything I've got, and with pleasure." "So the tornado at the military base... I know." "Breathtaking, wasn't it?" "I was finally able to prove our hypothesis." "It has all come to fruition." "what's wrong with you?" "Don't you care about people's lives?" "You whack job!" "wake up, Professor." "They tried to kill you because you were no longer needed." "So what?" "As long as my work survives, nothing else matters." "Look out!" "You're not getting in my way!" "Now's our chance." "Come on!" "Okay." "How about that?" "Not too shabby for someone like me." "Point taken." "You were also right on the money about the Professor." "About him being a whack job?" "Yes, that." "He's crazy, but nonetheless correct." "He did it!" "Are they both all right?" "Good job!" "Here!" "Grab this!" "Hooray!" "Almost there!" "Hang on!" "Has my armor been repaired?" "Yes." "And I have something I'd like to show you." "what's this?" "An improved version of our EMP device." "An EMP cannon." "You fire this thing at the target and you'll shut it down." "This underdeveloped device?" "Are you sure it'll work?" "There's one possible problem." "Your armor could be affected too." "It'll be okay once the EMP protection is in place." "I need a little more time." "what's wrong?" "A massive tornado has appeared right by the Yokosuka Base." "Round Two." "Yokohama City Fire Department" "It's Iron Man!" "It's dangerous!" "You have to evacuate!" "How spectacular." "Idiot!" "Come back!" "You can't fool me twice." "I'll shut you down." "Mr. Stark!" "Try to reboot the system!" "Mr. Stark!" "Damn it!" "what's happening?" "what's wrong, Iron Man?" "Can I make it?" "Stark..." "He really is a piece of work." "Thank you, Dr. Tanaka." "Form is indeed secondary to function." "Right." "You can't judge a book by its cover." "Maybe using such nasty words wasn't a good idea." "Well, Chika seemed to like it." "I've gone off topic." "Mr. Masuda, our next story is about Mr. Kawashima, right?" "A car racer recovering from a race accident." "So let's go!" "Next on Iron Man:" "A Twist of Memory, A T urn of Mind." "What?" "Who is that with Tony Stark?" "Who is it?" "Next Episode:" "#4:" "A T wist of Memory, A T urn of Mind"
