       Guard #3: Yes, ma'am. We'll escort him in right away then. Guard
       #3 may be younger than the senior guard but nearly as nervous as
       the other younger guard and his voice reflects. He then hangs up
       the guardhouse phone and walks out of the guardhouse. Guard #3:
       Sir Integra has approved the meeting and requests that we escort
       you, gentlemen.
       The senior guard looks to the younger guard that came out of the
       guardhouse. Guard #1: Very well. You and I will escort Mr. Creed
       and his associate. He then looks to the far more nervous younger
       guard as Guard #3 salutes, then reaches in the guardhouse, and
       hits the switch that opens the gate. Guard #1: Wilhelm, you stay
       here and watch the gate. Wilhelm salutes with what appears to be
       relief with the knowledge that he won't have to help escort
       Victor and Hugo and then walks to the guardhouse. Then the
       senior guard turns back to Victor and Hugo with a polite look as
       the gate finishes opening. Guard #1: If you wish to drive the
       front door, then we request that the car remains no faster than
       a brisk march, Mr. Creed.
       Victor: Nah, my associate and I can walk. Jenkins is gonna to
       get some fuel, lunch, and run the limo the wash while we talk.
       He says as he gives Jenkins a hand signal that tells the head
       houseman that he go about business as planned.
       Jenkins: Yes, sir. I shall return once my tasks and lunch is
       complete. Please do try to remember your manners and act more
       like your dignified British identity, sir. Jenkins says as he
       snaps his heels together and with a hat tip of his head. Jenkins
       then closes the rear passenger door and walks around to the
       driver's door as he continues to speak as Victor turns a looks
       to Jenkins. He pauses only a moment after opening the driver's
       door to finish off with. Jenkins: I would very much hate to have
       to call Ms. Frost and ask for her assistance in getting you out
       of trouble again, Mr. Creed. She is such a prudishly angry woman
       when it comes to trouble involving you, sir.
       Victor chuckles a bit. Victor: I'll keep yer advice handy,
       Jenkins, but I'm sure that things will go mostly peaceful. A wry
       grin spreads across his face as Jenkins shakes his head at
       Victor's response. Jenkins then gets in the limo, closes the
       door, and drives off. Jenkins has been one of the few loyal
       people that has been in Victor's service for a few decades. This
       also means that Jenkins knew the routine. Drive off to a safe
       distance (about a mile or two since investing in a high quality
       spy drone), park, and set up surveillance. This wasn't just for
       information but also to watch and make sure that Victor won't
       need help to "calm" a sketchy situation. Victor's chuckling dies
       off as he looks back to the senior guard, the lit cigar held
       just right in his teeth so Victor can talk. Victor: Now let's
       take that walk to see Sir Blondy. It's a nice day fer a walk.
       All three guards did find it odd that Victor would send off his
       driver before being taken up to the main door. The senior
       guard's eyes narrow a bit in suspicion as he watches the entire
       interaction between Victor and Jenkins but straightens up back
       to a polite look just before Victor looks to him again when
       Jenkins drives away. Guard #1: Yes, sir. It is quite a nice day.
       Now please follow me. The senior guard then turns and begins to
       march towards the front door of the manor. Guard #2 will walk
       behind the group once Hugo begins to walk.
       Victor: Let's go, Hugo. Victor says as he begins to follow the
       senior guard to the manor. Victor takes the cigar from his mouth
       as he passes the guardhouse and knocks the ashes off before
       taking his next drag.
       Hiroshi looks to Flynn as he listens to Kindron and Akiba both
       explain the reasons why Kindron should handle Victor. He can
       admire Flynn's confidence and the craftsmanship of Flynn's
       sword, but he had to agree with Kindron considering what he and
       Feling already know about Victor. Hiroshi: I know that I might
       be new here, but with the knowledge that I have of Creed, it
       would be a far wiser choice to allow.. Hiroshi nods to Kindron
       as he speaks with his thick Japanese accent. Hiroshi: ..this
       Kindron handle him. It sounds as if Kindron can wield
       electricity which is far less likely to trigger Creed's problem
       with blind beast rage. As nice as your sword is and as skilled
       as you might be, you will do nothing more than.. how do you say
       it.. p*ss Creed off. I really do not want to.. tango with a
       berserk Creed and no psychic ever again.
       Feling watches what's going on at the gate through the video
       holographic projection provided by Phoebe with a frown. She and
       Hiroshi already know about Victor's enhancements due to their
       own experiences with him in their time period so she wasn't
       surprised to her Pheobe's report. Her concern was with Victor
       dismissing his limo driver instead of riding to the manor. Her
       instincts tell her that Victor is casing the manor at the same
       time as having a "meeting". Feling: I don't like how the limo
       driver is leaving. Is it possible to have a surveillance drone
       stealthily follow it?
       Phoebe: I am already on top of that, Feling. I too find it odd
       that his driver would leave instead of staying. Phoebe reports
       as she sends a drone to discreetly follow Jenkins. Phoebe also
       runs a background and facial recognition check on Jenkins. Her
       systems quickly hits a treasure trove of information thanks to
       facial recognition. Phoebe: Feling's suspicion is warranted.
       MI-6, UNIT, and Interpol both have quite the record on Jules
       Vernon Jenkins. It appears that not only is he an alpha level
       psychic mutant but also a top trained spy and mercenary who has
       infiltrated several top secret locations of several different
       governments. Yet no government has been ever able to get
       concrete evidence against Jenkins of his more nefarious
       operations. All records have Jenkins marked "dangerous: observe
       and report" yet also shows that he's been low profile quiet
       since 2009 which is around the same time that Victor Creed's
       more socially respected British identity, Mr. Edgar Silver, had
       been reported kidnapped.

       Flynn turns to Hiroshi as Hiroshi talks. Flynn: You don't know
       what this sword is, I take it? We had a version of Victor Creed
       in my world... And you know why the reason we didn't when we
       left? I cancelled his subscription to life myself. He waves his
       sword. Carbonadium. For all your pesky healing factors.
       Kindron: That's fine and all, Flynn... But we don't want to KILL
       Victor. And if he's got adamantium on his bones, then you can't
       slice through his bones.
       Akiba sighs. He takes out a special smoke grenade. Akiba: We've
       dealt with skeletons like that before, and Flynn does know how
       to fight them. Not with Victor in our world, but with a few
       others just as dangerous. I have something I can use to disable
       him, but I don't want to use it if I can help it because it
       might do permanent damage to his skeleton. And we may need him
       alive and in good health to help us. He says before putting the
       smoke grenade away.

       Hugo turns slightly to Jenkins after seeing that he was leaving.
       He silently waved goodbye to Jenkins as the butler drives off.
       Once he was out of sight, Hugo stops and follow Creed inside
       once it was time to head inside the manor.
       Integra silently listens to everyone around her after hanging up
       the phone.
       Integra: I appreciate the idea of being cautious but I must
       agree on not trying to start a fight unless he actually starts
       one. So please refrain from trying to attack him, especially
       when he starts to act irritating. Besides, we have dealt with
       the likes of Creed before and those mich worse with him. And I
       know that this won't be the last. turns her gaze to Phoebe Is
       there any information on the young man with Creed?

       Victor glances around the grounds as he and Hugo follow the
       senior guard. He makes sure to appear casual but really he's
       paying full attention to cameras and the security drones. They
       may be there to hand over a couple of flash drives of top secret
       information and make a couple of deals, but it never hurts to
       scope out the visible at the same time. Victor: The place
       doesn't look like it's changed too much since Sir Arthur's days.
       Just a few new toys 'n' gadgets.
       Guard #1: Yes, sir. Sir Integra takes pride in having the
       grounds maintain in the same fashion as her father. The senior
       guard may not have been around during Sir Arthur's days, but of
       course, the senior guard has dealt with the likes of Victor
       Creed before and knows that this is more than idle chit chat.
       Guard #1: As for new toys and gadgets, what you see is just the
       tip of Hellsing's defenses, Mr. Creed, and what you don't see is
       far more advanced than you could possibly imagine.
       Victor: Huh, ya don't say. Well, I guess Blondy has come a long
       way from what I expected of her. He takes a drag off his cigar
       and exhales as he then looks forward with a grin. Of course,
       Victor does know that Hellsing's computer security is not like
       anything he had ever seen or tried to hack before. Phoebe's
       systems are so complex that Victor had to hack the Pentagon just
       to make sure that he hadn't lost his touch. Victor: Though I
       gotta admit that I didn't expect her to see 20 after her old man
       died. That power hungry bastard uncle of hers had the balls ta
       try and hire me ta kill Arty. I just laughed and told him that
       he was lucky that I was in a good mood ta allow him ta live
       after that request. Victor hadn't told many people that had
       actually has respect for Arthur Hellsing and Walter Dornez.. not
       even Hugo.
       That actually makes the senior guard look back at Victor
       curiously. Guard: Why did you do that?
       The smile that crosses Victor's face is a rare honest and
       respectful smile. Victor: Let's just say that Arty an' Walt
       earned my respect during the second World War against the Nazis.
       A very rare thing fer a human to get, an' sumthing that's kept
       me from really testin' Blondy.
       Jenkins drives the limo first about a mile away from Hellsing
       manor to a local deli where he had preordered his lunch for pick
       up. With such light traffic, it doesn't take long for Jenkins to
       get to the deli and pull into the parking lot. Jenkins and
       Victor had both figured on some form of security to follow the
       limo after Jenkins drove away. That's why he brought the custom
       Rolls Royce today. Jenkins parks the car and then opens a
       computer system. With a couple of quick taps, Jenkins pulls up
       the micro surveillance system and set it to detect any form of
       surveillance. Almost instantly the system detects Phoebe's
       surveillance drone following at a safe distance. Jenkins smiles
       a bit as he gets out of the limo, locks it after the closing the
       door, and casually walks into the deli. Jenkins: So predictable.
       I'll eat first then off to the automobile wash. Jenkins decides
       that the carwash should be a good location to launch from after
       he releases a decoy drone while eating.
       Hiroshi listens to Integra and nods softly in agreement.
       Hiroshi: Sir Integra is correct, and I can say that Creed
       doesn't usually dress nicely if he is looking for fight.
       Feling continues to watch the video of Victor with close
       attention. She makes mental notes of how Victor is acting and
       how he is looking around. She also studies Hugo with an interest
       in who this young man is and why he looks vaguely familiar.
       With the of Nikki in the computer lab, Phoebe is able to finally
       find a file on Hugo by hacking into the US Department of Defense
       computer systems. Phoebe had gotten a classified hit while doing
       a facial recognition search. Phoebe quickly displays Hugo's top
       secret DoD file on Sir Integra's computer monitor. Phoebe: I did
       finally find something from the United States Department of
       Defense Special Weapons Division that is marked both top secret
       and "agent AWOL", Sir Integra. The young man is named Hugo
       "Sollix" Garnier, deserting agent of the US government. Species
       is registered as cambion with a faustian demon wolf father and
       human mother. His history is considered more classified than the
       level that Nikki and I have managed to hack. Apparently the Vice
       President doesn't have high enough clearance. I've also
       discovered that the Department of Defense has a Special Weapons
       Division file on Victor "Sabretooth" Creed as well that is also
       marked top secret and AWOL along with "dangerous use caution".
       Apparently Victor Creed and Hugo Garnier have decided to quit
       their previous employment but how and why is a higher
       classification. I've asked Nikki to try using an UNIT secret
       clearance to see if that will help us with gaining more
       information. Only Integra can see both of the files and is the
       only person who can see the exact division name of Weapon X
       Program and Delta Team on both files.
       Feling's eyes go wide when she hears Hugo's name. She silently
       thinks about this realization to herself as the pieces fall into
       place. Feling: "Tiān nǎ! That is Solo Garnier's great
       grandfather! His father wasn't kidding when he said Solo looks
       like a doppelgänger of his grandfather, Hugo Garnier. Now this
       is not what I was expecting to happen with this meeting. If the
       stories about Hugo told by his descendants are true, then I
       really hope there is no problem."

       Kindron: I get the feeling this is going to be one of those
       days... He says with a sigh as he finds a spot to sit down.
       Akiba: Well, let's just see how it goes. He says as he finds a
       spot to sit down as well.
       Flynn puts his sword away, but stands ready just in case. Of
       course, since he was in his full combat outfit, it was clear he
       was ready in case a fight did break out.
       Walter and Sakuya stay silent as they stay near Integra, not
       sure what to expect.

       Hugo listens to Sabretooth and the senior guard talk among each
       other as he walks with them. Though a question did come to mind.
       Hugo: It seems that the tech here isn't the only thing advanced.
       I take it that there are some hired strong soldiers and/or
       allies in this building, correct? I couldn't help but ask since
       I caught the scent of more than just humans here.
       Hugo was asking more out of curiosity since he thought that only
       a few supernaturals besides Alucard would be here but he was
       mistaken. He also couldn't help but wonder why some
       supernaturals would work for Hellsing.
       Integra frowns as she folds her hands in front of her and read
       the files in front of her. Although she has encountered those
       with hidden pasts, two ex agents of the DoD coming here along
       with what Cortana has told her is more than enough to say that
       this is going to be one of those stressful meetings.

       ((I keep forgetting how long Hellsing manor's driveway is. I got
       remind that at a normal walk it's probably at least three
       rounds, possibly four. XD))
       The senior guard replies with an obvious hint of Dublin brogue
       in his voice. Guard #1: Sir Integra has gained many strong
       friends 'n' allies along with those of us humans with
       backgrounds best left in the past that gave us useful skills.
       All of us willing to do what it takes to assist in keeping the
       peace, and none of us should be under estimated, lad.
       Victor could also smell the scents of others and not just
       supernaturals and mutants. He could smell an odd scent that
       reminds him of tiger.. female tiger. He wasn't going to say
       anything but smiles with pride when Hugo does. The answer, along
       with the brogue, from the senior guard does prompt a rather
       smartarse question Victor: Sounds like ya might be one of those
       humans with 'n unpleasant past. Victor didn't know much of the
       Irish language but did learn a few things from his IRA contacts.
       Victor: Ya be one of those "Tiocfaidh ár lá" (Irish for "our day
       will come") types.
       The senior guard chuckles a bit. Guard #1: As my grandfather,
       Finn O'Sullivan, use to say. Labhair níos mó ná mar is gá.
       (Irish for "Speak not more than needed.")
       Victor may not know Irish very well but that was a saying he
       recognized and not from his IRA contacts. He knew a Gael
       O'Sullivan from Blackwater Armed Security Forces who would say
       the same thing. Victor: Ya wouldn't happen ta be related to a
       Gael O'Sullivan?
       Guard #1: without even a change in friendliness He's my cousin
       if the one you know works for Blackwater Security.
       Sabretooth just goes quiet with a knowing smirk and looks ahead
       to the front door getting closer. Victor knows that not too much
       can turn a mercenary into a loyal soldier except for money... or
       a d*mn good purpose. He's getting more impressed by what's
       become of Integra since Arthur's death. He'll definitely have to
       try to remember to watch his manners and not push buttons.. well
       not too many buttons.
       Hiroshi thought about sitting as the other settle down and
       prepare until he thinks about Jenkins again. Hiroshi: Is there
       any way to project a second video of the limo and driver who
       drove away?
       Phoebe simply answers Hiroshi's question by flying a second
       small security drone into the office towards him but where
       everyone can see the projection. It then stops and begins
       projecting an holographic video of the limo sitting quiet at a
       local deli. Phoebe: This should help with your request, Hiroshi.
       Meanwhile the video is playing, Jenkins finishes paying for his
       sandwich and chips with a drink and walks out the door, holding
       everything except for the keys in his right hand. He pauses for
       a brief a moment and looks in the direction of Phoebe's
       surveillance drone.. at least where he remembers the equipment
       says it is. He gives a knowing grin that he hopes the
       surveillance drone's camera picks up on. It's Jenkins' way of
       letting them know that he knows they are watching him. After
       just long enough to get the message through, he unlocks the
       driver's door, deftly gets in with his right hand full, and then
       closes the door.
       Feling raises an eyebrow as she looks from the holographic
       projection of Victor and Hugo to the projection of Jenkins at
       just the right moment to see Jenkins smiling towards the
       direction of the drone following him. Feling: Is just me or is
       Mr. Jenkins smiling at the camera?

       Akiba: It definitely feels like he's leading us on a wild goose
       chase. He says in response to Feling's statement. Smiling for
       the camera is exactly the kind of thing Flynn would do if he was
       being followed and knew it.
       Flynn: Got me there. He says with a shrug.
       Kindron: He's intentionally leading us... Or misleading us. I
       don't know which. My guess is that either he's leading us to
       something he wants us to see, or he's misleading us while
       someone else is up to something. He thinks for a moment.
       Phoebe... There's no one else on the grounds that's
       unidentified, is there? Anyone that would have just recently
       come into the manor? He says. It was a long shot, but he'd had
       too many times where his organizations get misled and attacked
       while they were focused on something else, so he didn't want to
       make the same mistake again.

       Hugo listen to the two men, interested in the conversation. He
       also caught the scent of a holy werepire. Although the werepire
       part intrigues him, the holy part kind of puts him off in a bad
       way due to his bad experience with holy people, priests
       especially. Would also be horrid if this werepire is part of the
       Iscariot.
       Integra notice Jenkins looking at the drones which made her
       frown. She lets the others handle things as she prepares herself
       for Hugo and Sabretooth to come in.

       Victor, Hugo, and the two guard are about to the stairs of the
       mansion as Victor takes note of the sounds of training Hellsing
       soldiers in the distances. Victor then thinks back to ask the
       senior guard his name just to see if the guard is someone that
       Victor has heard of. Victor: Ya said that Gael O'Sullivan is yer
       cousin. Mind if I ask yer name?
       The senior guard, Liam, keeps his smile friendly and his voice
       polite. Liam knew enough about Victor and his type to have an
       idea where this line of questioning is going. Liam O'Sullivan:
       No, Mr. Creed. I do not mind. My name is Liam Cillian Shannon
       O'Sullivan. Not sure if that will help you in figuring out if I
       am a threat or not though.
       Victor smiles a bit as the first name does ring a bell but not
       enough for a confirmed memory recall. Victor's memory isn't
       always what it should be. Victor: Yeah, Gael might 'ave
       mentioned ya in passin', but I can't say the old memory is what
       it use to be after 200 years.
       Liam gives Victor a smirk instead of the friendly smile he had
       been sporting as the group comes to the bottom of the stairs to
       the front door. Liam: Perhaps the name Master would mean more to
       your old memory then, Mr. Creed. Liam says as he allows the
       younger guard to go ahead of the group in order to open the
       front door for them.
       Victor: Ha! Ya the one who masterfully orchestrated that rescue
       of the French oil tycoon's daughter from terrorist kidnappers in
       Iraq? Victor had heard tales about a master tactician who was
       simply called Master and Mastermind in Blackwater Security and
       how upset the CEO of Blackwater was when that tactician left for
       a more righteous mission.
       Liam: gives a nonchalant shrug as he and Victor climb the stairs
       Perhaps I am. Perhaps I am not. Labhair níos mó ná mar is gá.
       Liam leaves his answer vague though he's sure that Victor would
       understand the subtle confirmation. Liam is not proud of days
       with Blackwater Security and knows far more than most people see
       of the "publicly upstanding" tactical security company.. a
       politically acceptable way of saying professional mercenary
       group.
       Within seconds of Kindron asking his question, Phoebe finishes
       another bioscan of Hellsing manor and grounds. No other
       newcomers or unknown, unauthorized entries could be found.
       Phoebe: Victor and Hugo are the only other newcomers to the
       manor other than Feling's people who are from the future. Not
       much can escape my drones and sensors and will remain vigilant,
       but it appears that Victor Creed is attempting have a civil
       meeting with Sir Integra. Records show that he does such
       maneuvers when there is also something for him to gain as well.
       Much like any ruthless business man or mafia crime lord,
       Kindron.
       Jenkins sets the bag with his food and his drink down (food on
       the seat and drink in holder) as he decides how to send a small
       spy drone back to Hellsing manor. Jenkins doesn't normally leave
       Victor to handle such delicate situations alone with how quickly
       Victor can get violent but has when special circumstances such
       as the need for experienced security surveillance is necessary.
       This is because Jenkins knows that his psychic powers are useful
       at keeping Victor restrained to levelheaded crime boss level in
       these situations. Jenkins now has a reason to use a spy drone
       more than Victor wanting to get a better idea of Hellsing's
       security. Hellsing has an army and enough super allies to put
       his boss and Hugo down by themselves should things go south, and
       Jenkins doesn't like those odds. Jenkins pulls out his sandwich
       and begins to eat like a soldier as he opens a file on the
       limo's computer. He scrolls through types until he stops on the
       xenobot (robot animal with organic parts and flesh) bird spy
       drone. He hadn't gotten to use that one since acquiring from a
       CIA contact. Jenkins: Hmm... I think that the starling drone
       should be useful in this situation. Jenkins says to himself and
       then takes a another bite of his sandwich and a sip of his
       drink. He then puts the sandwich back in the bag, starts the
       limo, and puts in reverse. He then speaks to himself as he backs
       up and takes off to the carwash down the street. Jenkins: Now to
       hope my old friend is at the autowash like we discussed.
       Hiroshi continues to watch Jenkins in the projection video as he
       listens to the others. He first answers Akiba as Phoebe scans
       for other unidentified people and begins to answer Kindron.
       Hiroshi: Oh he is definitely leading us on wild goose chase as
       you put it, but the question is why. Hiroshi then hears Phoebe's
       answer to Kindron about how he, Nikki, and Atlas are the only
       other new arrivals to Hellsing manor. Hiroshi: Trust me. None of
       us are fond of the over 2,000 year old Victor Creed in the 41st
       century so we own nothing to him prior to our time. I can only
       imagine what he must be like in this century.
       Feling: By the way he's smugly strutting up to the manor, I
       would gamble to say 21st century Creed is no different than 41st
       century. She says as she watches Victor and Liam begin walking
       up the stairs. She does barely keep from growling while speaking
       which impresses Hiroshi. Feling: I swear I will at least
       ultrasonic Creed if he even attempts one of his chauvinistic
       maneuvers on Sir Integra or myself.
       Hiroshi: Why does this feel like one of those times I wish I had
       Whitefire or Xylo here to help keep you calm and peaceful, Fey?
       Feling: Because Whitefire had to keep me from repeatedly killing
       Creed after his less than flattering comment about my physique
       when Creed first joined the New Star Rifters.
