The murder the Knights are sent to investigate took place in an abandoned warehouse, near the largest highway in London. The aging and dilapidated structure is covered with graffiti and bits of rusting metal.

Squad cars and emergency vehicles have surrounded the building. Outside the main entrance, police officers are questioning a small crowd of people when the Knights arrive.

Fred parks the car, and looks across through the passenger window.

"Must be the place. Let's roll."

fulbert shifts a bit. "Well, the plan involved eventually creating subservient, thinking creatures to serve as... as military weapons, yes, but we wanted a chance to study them first, to find ways to control them." he shakes his head. "But these creatures exhibited all the cunning of their prehistoric ancestors. Once they reached full size, three of them awakened and smashed their way out of their growth containers. I managed to evade them, but I couldn't stop them from escaping."

fred's expression is hard, as he glances at the others. ] And now they're hungry, and out there looking for fast food.

[ fulbert puts his glasses back on, hand shaking. "I- I've managed to locate them, using a tracking device keyed to the implants placed in their bodies. I already made efforts to recapture them, but-- they became enraged at my intrusion and attacked. I barely escaped with my life." he pales, looking desperate, and on the brink of sanity. "I was hoping to take care of this by myself. If I'm caught, they'll not only send me to prison for endangering innocent lives, but my work-- will have all been for nothing. I was hoping to be able to recapture them, to continue my research, but now..." his shoulders slump in defeat. "I know that's an impossible dream. So I was doing what I could to lie low, in hopes no one would make the connection." he averts his eyes to the ground, ashamed. ]

Sorry? Are we supposed to feel bad for you after you set one loose with the sole purpose to eat us? Screw your work, buddy.

{ "NO," he sputters, "I-- I panicked." ]

Yeah, well. Now's the time to unpanic and help fix the mess you made. You said you had a way to track them? [ he glances at the others ] We need to go after them and take these things out before they hit anyone else.

[ fulbert nods vigorously. "Yes, I-- Here." he pulls out the device he'd grabbed off the counter in the lab, and holds it out. "It's keyed to their implants. They're the red dots. It's relatively easy to operate even for a -- a layman." ]

[cuivre]

Layman? Please.

[He snags the device from the guys outstretched hand, taking a look at it and quickly figuring out where they need to go next. (Computer Use(?) 20 total)]

The sooner we take care of these things, the better.

[Says the guy who is in the worst shape. He gestures to Fulburt, glancing at Fred.]

We bringing him along?

[nepotism]

[ as miles activates the device, which shows all three dots roaming around a sewer not too far across town, fred glances at the others. ]

Likely, he'll just get in the way if we have to take these things on.

[reallywicked]

We could always use him as bait.

[She's kidding...kind of....]

[nepotism]

We're not gonna sink to his level. We can cuff him and come back for him, bring him to the police. [ and he'll yank out a pair of cuffs. ] We should get back inside first. C'mon.
