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.
