[Akroma]

"Do you guys like puzzles?"

ICARUS scans the fragments of the thing that was exploded. Who knows how much can be reconstructed

[Projeck37]

"I'm not one for killing, nor blood..."
Ashley lowers her gaze, and rubs her arm.

[PrivateNomad]

 "I see. Me neither, but one has to do what they have to do."

[USEC_OFFICER]

Ashley saved one Russian that was left in the building from being executed. She hands him over to the police.
/"Hired gunmen attacked. They were hired by a Spartak Sokolov. Heard of him?/

The officer shakes his head, /"No idea. I'm afraid that I'm going to have to take you into questioning though..."/ He pauses as he stares at Ashley's katana, /"S-standard operating procedure, of course. You are..."/ he shrugs awkwardly and decides to shut up.

/"Yes."/ Bartimaeus says in Russian.

The policemen stare at Bartimaeus in disbelief. Several ambulances arrive on the scene and paramedics file out to see to the dead bodies and those injured by stray fire.

<Affirmative. Nothing on the bodies, but the center contains a high aura signature.>
HILDA investigates the center.

It's a giant pit, filled with rubble as the attackers detonated explosives to destroy the entire thing. The signature is highest in the center of the pit, unsurpisingly.

[MAG: 2 + 15]

...

The magical signature has decayed too much for HILDA to figure out its purpose. All that she knows is that it's very powerful.

"Do you guys like puzzles?"

ICARUS scans the fragments of the thing that was exploded. Who knows how much can be reconstructed

ICARUS quickly calculates that she doesn't have enough computing power to reconstruct the site from the debris and rubble. Not if she wants to finish within the next couple of years, there is just too many pieces and permutations for her. Hopefully IRIS has something more powerful otherwise they're out of luck.

[Projeck37]

/"My name is Ashley. Continue speaking. I don't bite, officer."/

[Akroma]

"Hmm...I suppose we need to find Spartak Sokolov if we want answers. That is convenient, the terrorist did say we would get to know him soon."

[PrivateNomad]

 "Indeed."
Alucard stares at the police man.

[Akroma]

"Let us return, we were too late. Lunette, how about we check out canada now?"

to Rose: <And I will be having an eye on you.>

[PrivateNomad]

 <I can fly us if need be.>
HILDA shifts into HILDA-ALPHA, which transforms into a jet plane.
 "More than meets the eye." the jet says.

[USEC_OFFICER]

/"My name is Ashley. Continue speaking. I don't bite, officer."/

"Indeed."
Alucard stares at the police man.

/"Err, you are the only ones still here and..."/ the officer trails off as Alucard stares at him, /"C-can I just have the details about what happened quickly?"/

"Let us return, we were too late. Lunette, how about we check out canada now?"

Lunette nods and walks over to join ICARUS, the papers they found stuffed into her satchel. "Okay. I wanted to play with Yomiko some more, but this is obviously more important."

to Rose: <And I will be having an eye on you.>

Rose doesn't respond to anybody, still completely in shock over what happened. Eventually she gathers herself together and teleports back to the castle without replying to Alice.

[Akroma]

"Hmm, flying you over the atlantic would take a while, maybe we should find a teleport opportunity?"

[Projeck37]

Ashley describes what happened to him in great detail. From start to finish.
/"Anything else?"/
The plates of her armor quickly fold back and form her normal clothing.

[PrivateNomad]

 "I'm going to summon an eldritch abomination. Good work, Ashley." Alucard says, making sure the officer can hear well before he teleports back to the castle. Bartimaeus remains.

Alucard draws a summoning circle and attempts to summon a Gotongi. [80+23]
"Not even at supersonic speeds? Hell, with a little help I could reach sub-orbit."

[USEC_OFFICER]

"Hmm, flying you over the atlantic would take a while, maybe we should find a teleport opportunity?"

Lunette nods in agreement, "Probably. It would be faster to start from the castle at least."

Ashley describes what happened to him in great detail. From start to finish.
/"Anything else?"/
The plates of her armor quickly fold back and form her normal clothing.

The officer shakes his head, /"No. Thank you."/ He then scurries away as fast as he can, glancing over his shoulder and mumbling to himself. Ashley picks up a few curse words here and there, nothing too offensive though.

[Projeck37]

Ashley nods at Alucard.
She stares at the officer as he walks away.
"Poor boy."
