While scams about genetically modified corn wouldn't normally fall under the purview of the Knights, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation has called in assistance from Wynn because of reports of the two agents investigating the matter running into some sort of Shadowkind that attacked them at the silos containing the corn in question.

The Knights fly out to Tennessee to check out the situation, and Christos drives them directly towards the silos in question, which are three lonely, old looking structures set in the middle of a field far away from any other civilization.

[ pops it in her mouth like a kid. she feels useless rn tbh, so she just goes with it and is useless rn. ]

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian looked to the kid, than shakes his head amused. He's got nothing to do really.]

[everyredcent]

[ mulder will take it with a rueful smile, as christos eyes robert and his daughter, before turning his attention to the federal agent. ] She must have overheard you and your partner meeting with her father, and taken the wrong idea from it all. These creatures coming after you were manifestations, like the one you saw here moments ago.

[keptbiting]

She was just protecting her family. Cannae fault her for that. [ if she sounds unsure it's because amy doesn't know how families work. ]

[bowtimeandspace]

Well exactly. What Pond said! So right. Here we are. What now? Do we go somewhere for tea? Maybe a little bit of battenberg. I like the pink bits best, don't know about you.

[believethelie]

[ it's at that moment that diana bursts out of the trees, with a few armed police officers behind her. cindi starts and disappears behind her father, clutching him in fear. ] What's the situation?

[opprobrium]

What is Battenberg? [ He had to ask, looking over at the doctor.]

[keptbiting]

[ idly, ] It's cake. [ she turns her attention to fowley, though, stepping forward to intersect them. ]

It's fine, just a misunderstanding. We've found Cindi and she's alright. You might want to get Mulder checked out, he took a pretty rough hit.

[ and clearly men can't take care of themselves tbh. ]

[bowtimeandspace]

Yes! Lovely with a nice cuppa.

And oh look, the cavalry. With guns! Always with guns. Because they solve everything don't they? [ No :| ] If you're here to scare little children then perfect job, chaps.

[agentspooky]

Diana, tell them it's fine. They need to leave. [ mulder speaks deliberately, looking between the girl and fowley like 8| ARE YOU PICKING UP

WHAT I'M LAYING DOWN HERE

probably not.

she looks at him uncertainly for a second, and mulder gestures to amy and the doctor or someone to make a diplomacy check in this situation before cindi freaks out again. ]

[keptbiting]

Yeah, we've got it all sorted. It was just a false alarm. [ she smiles ingratiatingly, moving -- with hands up because american cops tho -- between cindi and her dad and the newcomers. (diplomacy 27) ] I'll go with you to fill out any reports you need from us, yeah, it'll be no trouble. But, honestly, I shouldn't have called to begin with. I just panicked, you know. If I'd've known she'd run out to her clubhouse I wouldn't have called. Hate that I've put you through all this trouble for nothing.

[opprobrium]

Kid just got spooked and ran.

[ Sebastian just felt like throwing something in.]

[everyredcent]

[ mulder moves towards diana, limping a bit probably but shh. he grabs her arm as she looks around the scene, clearly wanting to say more.

"Like they said. But I took a bad spill. You boys wanna give a guy a lift to the hospital?" he asks. the cops look between them, hesitating, but finally put their weapons away, nodding.

mulder looks over his shoulder at amy, nods a bit to her and the doctor, and with that the agents head off with the police. christos watches them go, before turning to robert. ] ... There are people who can help your daughter to train her abilities. Keep her from hurting anyone else without intending to.

We can put you in contact with these people so that this -- [ he looks around ] doesn't happen again.

[ robert exchanges a look with his daughter, and then nods once. ]
