Virge and Cecilia are doing last minute checks on a large machine in the Phaser building. Cecilia is on the top of the machine checking the circuits.
“Why did Lieutenant Thames offer you money for your help?” Cecilia asks her boss. “Does he not know you own this building and five others in Century alone?”
“Bison and I have grown a part in the last few years. He doesn’t know a lot about me anymore,” Virge explains. Virge is walking from one side of the machine to the other, inspecting its exterior. “Everything is fine from here, how’s it looking up there?”
Cecilia closes a lid on the top of the machine and jumps down. “It’s ready to go.” They walk over to a computer in the corner of the room. Virge types in a command as the walls on the opposite side of the room opens. The machine begins to heat up as rockets on its rear blasts it out of the building and into the atmosphere. As it leaves shoots out of the building the wall closes again.
“I think it wouldn’t hurt seeing their operation, I mean… it could umm, help with out project…” Cecilia suggests. Virge looks at his assistant and smirks.
“I don’t have to read your mind to know what you’re up to. If you want to see Bison again we can arrange it. Set up the car, we’ll leave soon.”
Cecilia blushes as she leaves the room to prepare to visit her new crush.

On the roof of the Vincent Building on the edge of the city, the Mayor’s personal helicopter touches down. The Mayor and team steps out as three guards await their arrival. The guards stand in a line each with a riffle strapped around them.
“Welcome Mayor Jones,” says the guard positioned in the middle. “We have been waiting for your arrival and-” he freezes as he begins to choke. His body jerks before he collapses forward onto the floor in front of the mayor bleeding from a wound in his back. Standing behind the fallen guard is a Stagger, a tall brown slender alien with coarse skin and small spikes all over its body. Protruding from its wrists are 12 inch blades made out of the alien’s cartilage.
The guard on either side instantly pull out their riffles and point at the Stagger about to shoot. The alien is in between the two and in one quick extension, stretches its arms out stabs each guard simultaneously with its blades. It retracts its weapons out of the men as they fall. The Stagger glares at the Mayor, turns its head to sneer at those standing behind him: Liam, the large man and the slender woman. It pounces leaping forward about to attack them when it is intercepted.
The large man leaps forward grabbing the Stagger in mid air and forcing it to the ground. The ground shakes as the Champion lands on top of the alien. The Champion, the Mayor’s personal body guard is huge at 6 foot 6 and 200kgs of pure muscle. The Champion holds the Stagger down with his legs planted on the alien’s body. He grabs the Staggers left arm and pulls it off its body. The alien lets out a deafening screech as blood spurts out of the aliens shoulder where there used to be an arm. The Champion throws the detached arm to the side then raises his fist about to pound him.
“Stop!” Liam orders. Liam Chambers is the Mayor’s right hand man and is respected by most of the Mayor’s men. His ash blonde hair, blue eyes and boyish features perceived him as innocent, but those who know him know he is anything but. “We need him alive. We will take him to the mind readers and find out who sent him.”
The Champion nods and looks down at the Stagger. It glares back at him furious. It lets out a second loud screech as the Champion disables its other arm.

Five blocks down from the Tempest is the Phaser Building. On the 18th floor, Virge Dylans sits behind his desk across from his assistant, Cecilia. They are going through a confidential document when the intercom beeps on the desk. Virge turns his chair towards the intercom as a holographic face appears.
“Lieutenant Thames is here to see you sir,” says the hologram.
“Send him in,” Virge acknowledges.
The face disappears, moments later the office door opens as a muscular man enters. Lieutenant Bison Thames stands tall with perfect posture as he turns to Virge.
“Virge, how have you been?”
“I’m well thank you. You remember my assistant Cecilia?” Virge says as introduces his assistant.
“Of course,” the Lieutenants replies, “how are you?”
Cecilia closes the files on the desks, picks them up and gets out of her chair to walks towards the man.
“I’m good thank you Lieutenant Thames?” Cecilia acknowledges shaking his hand.
“Please call me Bison.”
Cecilia smirks looking up at him. Bison towers over the very slender and small assistant. Cecilia turns back to Virge. “I’ll leave you boys to your business,” she gives one more smile to Bison as she exits the room. Bison walks up to the desks and sits across from Virge.
“So what brings you here?” Virge asks.
“I wish I could say this was a social visit, but unfortunately old friend I came to ask a favour… Something important was stolen from one of the labs yesterday. We suspect it was an inside job. I was hoping you could assist us in finding out if we have a spy in our mists.”
“Ah, I’m sorry but you know I don’t do that anymore. Also since the new mayor stepped in I’m not one for helping out his ‘government’.”
“I understand, since the accident you have not been in action lately.”
Virge glares at Bison’s remark.
“I still have some tricks,” Virge states. He tilts his head slightly and stares at a glass on the side of the table. The glass slides across the surface and in front of Bison. “Drink,” he offers.
Bison pauses for a moment before speaking. “No thank you.”
“The mayor has a number of capable mind readers that could reveal the spy. Why not use them?” Virge asks.
“We have eight, all in which are well known within the organisations. If any of them were brought in, the spy may sense we are on to him and could potential do something drastic.”
“I’m sorry but I think I will have to decline. I am currently busy with other projects at the moment.”
“Just think about it. We are willing to pay. You could earn enough money to fund your project. Maybe you could even walk again.”
Virge looks at Bison and smiles. His chair swivels back away slightly from the desk. He sits hunched as he closes his eyes. He instantly sits up and straightens his back. He stands from his chair and opens his eyes.
“I can walk, but thank you for the offer I will keep it in mind.”
Bison nods as he gets up from his chair as Virge walks him out of his office. Once Bison has left the room Cecilia enters.
“Shall we continue with our project?” Virge asks his assistant.
“Lieutenant Thames is here to see you sir,” says the hologram.
“Send him in,” Virge acknowledges.
The face disappears, moments later the office door opens as a muscular man enters. Lieutenant Bison Thames stands tall with perfect posture as he turns to Virge.
