---- Scarlett’s POV------

As my lady went to rest in her home. I immediately got to work after cleaning out all the employees and began to replace them with members of the Strategic Tactical Operations Resource Management or STORM for short.

I’m in charge of STORM which is one of the direct military branches of the shield group.

Our specific area of duty is as the public military face of the Shield group. There exists several other branches within the shield group which I don’t need to go into for now.

Going to the spec ops center for Sapphire I immediately set about installing the members of storm throughout the building as the receptionist and staff of all the businesses and restaurants as well as locking down the entry of anyone who is not pre-approved by myself.

Of course we are open to the public but we are only granting entry to those that I feel would make a good addition to our forces.

That’s right since Trinity is not making a lot of money from this place I might as well turn it into a recruitment center.

If there is one thing I know my mistress does not lack it is material wealth. The one thing she can always use more of is talent.

Focused on looking for women of exceptional ability in order to be recruited into the forces that serve the Shield group.

Whether it be in my department or one of the others.

Star approached me with the plans that she had worked out for the defense of sapphire in the event that is raided by one of Trinity’s many enemies.

Looking at the plans before me I circled the places the needed to be fortified because they are considered weak points as well as places to be reconstructed immediately to be turned into defensible positions.

We created choke points on every floor of the first twenty floors. Every floor that you would go up would have less elevators in it and entry points into the next floor eventually leading to the 20th floor which would only have one entrance.

The twentieth floor is a rather special place with it being a massive indoor garden that has one entrance that leads to the floors beyond the 20th floor.

Where Trinity lives with myself. Looking at the plans that drastically cut back on the entrances to every level. I began to give instructions to install automated turrets into the walls along every entry point to every floor in order to turn them into choke pits. If somebody wanted to make forceful entry into any of the floors they would have to get past the concealed turrets and pay for it with rivers of blood.

I also had sniper points concealed at various places on every floor but disguised with decorations such as paintings or various other things.

The interior walls of the building where immediately reinforced to easily withstand missile attacks. And magical attacks.

The entire building was covered in magical formations which would immediately dispel any magic used within the building thus making it impossible to use magic.

Something like that should normally not be possible but the resources that Trinity has gathered makes it easily achievable.

As I continued to look at the plans for Sapphire I immediately noticed a service basement that was built so I ordered Star to have that place opened up further and developed into an underground base with an entrance that leads directly to the 21st floor from underground as well.

The underground base would be done being constructed in just a few days as well as massive amounts of room being cleared out for Trinity’s vehicle collection since she loves collecting various transportation vehicles such as helicopters cars motorcycles and other things.

The underground base would also have a helicopter pad that comes up from underground much like an aircraft carrier it will appear in an empty section of the Sapphire parking lot and when it's ready to be used the parking lot will retract and the helipad will lift up with whatever vehicle that Trinity chooses to use to fly that day. Or the car she chooses to use.
