Nick immediately went to work.
He didn't want to manipulate the Shields' minds, but he didn't really have the luxury of morals right now.
He needed the power to free humanity.
The three Shields fanatically worked with Nick due to their altered memories.
In their minds, they believed that Nick would save humanity, which wasn't inaccurate.
From time to time, Nick left the Containment Unit to check up on the underground city's development.
He knew that Giovanni was the right man for the job, but he had to make sure regardless.
Giovanni's way of governing the city was different from Samar's way, but it was just as effective.
But that was to be expected.
Nick had a choice of thousands of Protectors.
At least one of them was bound to be a good leader.
Sadly, working with the three Shields wasn't as efficient as working with thousands of Protectors, but it was still good enough.
Years passed.
