Hijacker

"This is based on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s equ.. Tech."

- Leo Fitz

The Hijacker is a device able to infect large systems with a virus that, in time, sequentially destroys all the sub-systems attached to it.

History
Sunil Bakshi and handed a Hijacker to Agent 33 in order to neutralize the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents while bringing Phil Coulson to a trap, having used a Photostatic Veil to mimick Melinda May's appearance. Agent 33 went to Bus, tricking Coulson into leaving with her to the Hotel La Ona placing the device on the plane to keep the rest of agents busy an ultimately destroy the plane

The device started to shut down the energy of the plane, and destroying some of its systems, closing the cargo ramp and locking the emergency exits to trap the agents inside the plane. As Skye and Alphonso Mackenzie were first assessing the situation, Leo Fitz located the Hijacker, learning they had been sabotaged.

Knowing the device, as it was based on S.H.I.E.L.D. technology, Fitz tried to explain the rest of agents that, if they didn't stop it, the plane would explode, as a virus was liberated in the plane's systems, and startet to sequentially destroy the stabilizers, monitors, navigation systems and the communications before disrupting the wings, what would trigger an explosion big enough to destroy the whole plane, as the fuel was stored inside the wings.

Fitz took Lance Hunter to the avionics room of the plane, as he knew ho to stop the virus but didn't have the accuracy with his hands to properly do it, and needed to guide Hunter to do it for him, as the rest of agents were repairing the systems that had already fallen to delay the virus, and Hunter was the only without technical skills to help with that. Fitz guided Hunter through the process, and despite Fitz's troubles communicating, they succesfully fixed the plane, with both agents celebrating the success.
