Rumor has spread of some sort of mechanical monster has been spotted north of city. It's rumored that a woman walks with the creature where ever it goes and that she is a 'prisoner' of this mechanical beast. The darkness of the burned out town seems to scream gloom and dread as anyone approaches it.

Xalev is out on patroll in the rumored areas, Feeling luxurious, he had donned his elegantly lethal Gryphon form, his Two meter tall stature meaning he didnt do much sneaking on patroll, the automatic rifle on his hip ensured that he didn't need it either. Calm, Practiced eyes scanned the burned out windows and dank alleyways as felanoid ears searched for potiential trouble. it had been a quiet patroll so far. perhaps he would manage to get back home withoutbein heavily mutated.

Lunarknight is travelling with Miku as a sprinter due to her being in leopard form. Her stealth capabilites are decent, nut prefers hand to and combat. Keeping her trusty dagger, that was given to her by a friend, at her hip, she keeps pace with Miku.

Lunarknight sprints ahead of Xalev, "I see nothing for at least 2 kilometers. What do you wish to do?"

Waiting for sunrise, a coyote morph lays on a shingled roof some distance ahead, the mutant spread out on a old beach towel. One ear twitches, and the coyote turns his head towards the two patrolling agents. "Morning!"

Xalev laughes softly and points to a rooftop, "you are blind sprinter" he then looked up toty he yote, "Morning Coyote.... We're following some rumors of a mechanical monstrosity. are you local to the area?"

"Been in the city for about 2, maybe three years now, yeah, I guess you could call me a local." The coyote rolls up his towel, really more of a large rag at this point, and shimmies down a drainpipe on the side of the building. "What's this about a monster?"

Lunarknight scowls as she walks back to Xalev, "i am no blind sprinter, they must have Light-Bending Camo," Turning to the coyote she growls, "We heard of a Mecha that has a prisoner, mayhaps you have heard something similiar"?

Xalev looked downth e road again, "We keep hearing things at HQ fromt he mall rats about some kind of giant mechanical beast... i got my number drawn to deal with it..... heard anything? Free creds are in it if you do" he said, simply elaborating on his compatriate's statement.

Then the sound of soemthing moving can be heard, a low whine then the heavy metalic sound of metal feel touching stone. And so is a soft, seductive song of a normal voice. A woman's voice. It comes from with in the city.

Lunarknight fingers her dagger, "looks like our lucky, or rather unlucky, day...shall we head towards that rukus Xalev?"

"Huh, That your metal buddy?" The coyote stares off into the darkness, ears turning every so often to find the source of the noise.

Xalev nods slowly and looks to where he thinks he hears the sound, "I believe so... " he said, taking his rifle into one hand adn spreading his wings, "I'll see if i can get a visual on it ... sprinter.. can you cover the north? it hink ti is heading that way"

Lunarknight begins heading north and pauses, "waht do you want to do about him" gesturing towards the coyote, "we cant just leave him here, he might be a spy for all we know!" Lunarknight draws her dagger ad tosses it from one paw to the other.

The sound continues as does the singing. Quickly it fades then picks up a second time in another spot, still in the same direction how ever. But it sounds closer.

"A spy for who? Don't ya know coyotes are solitary creatures?" The coyote acts as if he's been offended. "Not sure what you expect a toothpick to do to something made of metal, you'll just get yourself killed." He grins, "Not that I'd get in the way of somebody's deathwish."

Xalev sighed and patted his rifle, "You two play nice" he grumbled, then lept inot the sky, searchign for the mechanical beast and the accompanied skinging, searchign intently with avian eyes

Lunarknight angrily replies, "Don't insult the dagger, it was given to me by the first friend i made in the wasteland and means the world to me." Abruptly turning back to the north, Lunarknight sprints towards the source of the noise coming from the city.

The sounds continues ahead, but they always seem to be out of sight, or just to far away. Then there is a pause. "Not now, we are in public." the female says with a sigh in her voice, almost as if they are right across the street.

Xalev growledd eeply, still airborn, and looks along the scope of his rifle, searhcing for whatever made the noise... he clsoed his eyes, relying on his hearing, adn tooikk a shot

Lunarknight nears the edge of the city when she hears the distinct crack of Xalevs rifle and begins to search the skies. Grabbing her walkietalkie she barks, "What happened? are you ok?". With eyes still searching, she awaited a response.

a loud TINK can be heard and a scream from a woman as the metal beast and probably is captive take off. They make the distances pretty quickly and soon are out of hearing.

Xalev growled deeply, stooping, screamign fro the ground and landing easily, he looekd to the sprinter, "yeah. i ehard it and took ashot.. whatever it is.. it is invisible.. mvoes to fast to persue however.... next patroll remind me to use tracing ammunition"

"Bah, more 'shoot first, questions later' guys," The coyote frowned, before berating the gryphon over the common comm channel. "You do realize that shooting before confirming a visual is the biggest cause of friendly fire, right? What've they been teaching you at up in New Dawn?"

Xalev grumbled and looked to the yote, then sighed adn rubbed his head, "Gut reflex mind you... i fucking hate invisibility" he sighed... "Command is going to be royally pissed... "

Lunarknight growls into the walkie, "if you have any tips coyote, speak up or get off the comm. This is recon mission, not a field trip. And i have to agree with you Xalev, command wont be happu. should we continue the recon? or report in?"

"Invisibility? No such thing, Not even nanites can do that. Methinks you two jump to conclusions far too quickly. Hell, you coulda hit whoever was singing!" No letup on criticisms from the canine.

Xalev growled and sheathed his rifle in all practicality, "Well, Damn good thing i hit the mecha instead. onecould tell fromt he sound that it was crafted fo a dense enough emtal to make the shot ricot... " he grinned slightly, "besides, why would i want to hit the person who could be the supposed prisioner?"

Lunarknight goes into a crouched position and her ears start twitching, "so should i go ahead and radio in to Command? or do you want to question the coyote some more? personally im pulling for some interrogation, hope im not TOO rusty" she says with a lusty smile.

"Ever heard the expression 'a shot in the dark'? That's exactly what it refers to. Shooting blind at targets you don't even know are there." The coyote has a point, shooting blindly is just about the worst thing a marksman could do.

Xalev growled slightly, then relaxed, "ya know, you're right, wrong thing for me to do. completely and utterly. Command will court martial me, and probably send me off to some fring area" he laughed softly, "Fucking great way to end a careeer, there i was, thinking i was being an adaptive soldier y trying to use my hearing, and succeeding."
