WHO || Wynn, Derek, Clint, Natasha, Davin, Peggy [Closed]
WHAT || London Underground Mission Briefing
WHERE || Downtown London office
WHEN || Late February, shortly before 5pm [forward dated]
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

There isn't much warning at all that this briefing is about to occur. In fact, they're told to come 'immediately' rather than given a time. Instead of being directed to come to the Round Table, however, they are instructed to meet at the downtown London Headquarters. For those who haven't yet been there, the main lobby area boasts an impressive silver dragon statue, about seven feet tall, immediately to the right of the entrance. The room is done in comforting wood and mahogany tones, and there's an array of tables and chairs across the room to the right, as well as a small piano. Statues of King Arthur and Lancelot flank the hallway that continues straight beyond the lobby, and there's a staircase leading up, with wooden dragon-shaped banisters, immediately beyond the bathroom door to the right.

On the left are two doors, and one of them leads into a room which also has a small reception window open, where they are received Between the doors hangs an ornate blue and silver tapestry with even more dragon imagery. It is an exercise in subtlety all around.

The woman working reception directs them each to head up the steps to the third floor, head to the end of the hall and take a right to the holo-room.

Yeah, that's right. They have a holo-room.

Walking in, it's possible to find Wynn waiting next to a neatly coiffed woman who they have never seen before...

Disappearances and murders?

[bloodygood]

Yes. People go missing all the time of course, but the area around this station in particular appears to have a disproportionately high number attributed to it. There's the usual of course, homeless people, vagrants and such like, but perhaps more concerning there have been others too, professionals. Not the sort that tend to simply up and disappear.

And of course now the accident.

No one's had any idea what's been happening to these people?

[bloodygood]

That's what we're hoping you might be able to help with. We believe this to be rather specialist. There's certainly more to this than appears. The derailment in particular is far from the norm, and the suggestion of shadow creatures being involved has been posed more than once.

[wynn]

We want to take advantage of this opportunity while we have it. Hopefully, we can uncover the root of the problem.

[grumpypuppy]

Do we have access to the map of the system, including closed lines that may junction off there?

[bloodygood]

[ She takes a moment, turning aside to fetch and unfold a large piece of paper before laying it out in front of them. ]

A schematic of the station. We have other files for you to examine.

[grumpypuppy]

[He crossed his arms, nodding]

We may as well get started, and then go into the tubes to see what we can find from there.

[wynn]

Very well. Agent Carter will accompany you, and get you through the police barrier.

Any final questions?

[grumpypuppy]

[Derek sat back and shook his head. He was good until he got to look at the map and files.]

[recycling]

I think I'm good.
