The O.P.U.S. project, if these records are right, was Moscow’s push to weaponize quantum entanglement—and then build it.

If they got it done, they’ve found what amounts to the legendary lost unicorn of every physics department in the world. 

There are hundreds of pages of files here that corroborate mentions of your O.P.U.S. project.

That device right there was an attempt to entangle the psyches of two unsuspecting parties. 

Like an adaptor, but for brains. 

Conceivably. A weapon. 

Imagine a modern-day version of the Vulcan mind meld, only Spock is completely in the driver’s seat now, and poor Captain Kirk doesn’t even know his mind is being melded. 

Is that before or after they blow up the Death Star? 

It’s the perfect way to spy on heads of state, tycoons of industry, military generals, Supreme Court justices. 

More adaptive. More growth of neuron pathways. 

Until you’re twenty-six, and then it all gets shot to hell.

suck up

That might be a little not good. Ish. 

Would the connection be stronger when both parties were in physical proximity?

You tell me. As far as we know, you and Ava appear to be Ivan’s only Entangled working prototype. 

A level seven classified breach? 

An intelligence disaster? 

An unparalleled vulnerability

not just for S.H.I.E.L.D. but for the entire Avengers Initiative? 

No. Agent Romanoff will eventually just start leaking... leaching... into your brain. 

And I’m only saying this because I’ve never seen you as an over-sharer. Or even an under-sharer. Or, you know. Sharer.
