[Rainstorm & Squirtle]

"Thanks, let me know what happens" she said still sounding shaken.

tron said:

"..." the tech stopped as if something dawne don him. "You might have hit on something there Officer McClane!" he said darting off.

Watching Magnus take off behind, [glow=blue,2,000]"Hit what? What did I hit? Hey! What the heck did I hit?!"[/glow] Tron said then stomped after the the two.

Epyon left the building contacted his base. "Epyon here. Ive found out our victims name Korix. apparently he was doing real estate business on the side as well as for the letting agency.

He was running late to the office today as he was supposed to be meeting a client be fore he came in today, soemthign important. Reason he took the Iacon exprees is because its a shorter way from his residential adress which is in the outer regions of Iacon."

[Rainstorm & Squirtle]

Tron and Magnum met up with Back-up on thwe wya and the three joined the tech back in the HQ lab.

"There!" said the tech triumphantly after a few miniutes of looking through a microscope. He puched up something on the terminal next to himn and the big screen on the lab wall brought an image up.

"What you're loking at is a close up many times magnified of the wounds to victim A. As you can see what we thought were wounds or some kind of burning effect that had eaten the metal away arer actually hundreds upon hundres of tiny tiny bite marks" the close up showed the small teeth marks and 'chomp circles'.
"And now victim B..."
the screen split and showed a close up of the second victim with the same effect.
"The only thing I know opf that can do this is the ancient space plague Devourus Milius commonly referred to as Scraplets!"

[tron]

[glow=blue,2,000]"Well change my piston without lube, who the heck is using Scraplets? Actually, since when could they be used? From what I've heard they savage little critters who don't stop eating. We may have a bigger problem here then just a couple of murders."[/glow]

[Rainstorm & Squirtle]

"Back before the Great War there was once a large incursion of them on Cybertron but the ancients managed to save our race with a rare chemical substance whose name escapes me now.
I believe there were more instances of minor outbreaks, one millions of years ago on Cybertron during the Great War, and one on the planet Earth where the infection was brought by a lone ship.
Both have very sketchy details as far as being used by others, they are a self serving disease thought to be extinct although were capable of rudimentary communication on some level.
But at this time, now. ... I dont know someone may have used technology to replicate or control them. Who knows?"

[Hoist]

"Woah, woah woah! Manufactured or brought in from somewhere else, we're not just talkin' about a murder here!! Whoever's behind it.. We could have an epidemic on our hands!!", warned Back-up getting dangerously exited and over-panicked..

[tron]

Tron muttered something about over reacting robots. [glow=blue,2,000]"Any word from Eypon?"[/glow]

[Rainstorm & Squirtle]

Magnu shrugged at Tron's questions.

"Thats just it Officer Back-up. We should have oine already the rate these scraplets can potentially spread yet me have two cases of death with no sign of any" the tech said.
"Its like they are deliberately not staying behind to fester on the body or look for more hosts or victims"

[Rainstorm & Squirtle]

[glow=white,2,300]**I have the Chief on the line, i'm patchi...[/glow]


[glow=blue,2,300]Get your sorry skidplates into my office now, and bring that layabout Epyon with you when you find him![/glow]

[Aqualec]

Epyon began to get closer to base. He activated his internal comm and contacted Tron. Tron Epyon here. Ive found out our victims name Korix. apparently he was doing real estate business on the side as well as for the letting agency.

He was running late to the office today as he was supposed to be meeting a client be fore he came in today, soemthign important. Reason he took the Iacon exprees is because its a shorter way from his residential adress which is in the outer regions of Iacon.

If need be i can head out and check the place for anything"

[tron]

[glow=blue,2,000][TRANSMISSION]"Roger that Epyon.... and umm yeah, go and check those places out. We'll get back to you as were busy, out...."[/TRANSMISSION]

"Hehehehe, that oughta take some heat off me...."[/glow]

As the team entered Vice6's office, Tron acted as if his comlink wasn't working, tapping it over and over. [glow=blue,2,000]"Sorry boss mech, bad transmitter. No word from Epyon yet."

(heh)[/glow]

[Aqualec]

(OCC:"Why i oughta...")

Epyon began to change his direction following the co-ordinates he had of the first victims residence.

[Rainstorm & Squirtle]

[glow=blue,2,300]Listen up McClane this is getting worse by the minute. Two bodies now and you dont have my suspect in custody!
I've got the Council breathing down my neck looking for an excuse to test their ridiculous Custodian project and you're giving them one with this incompetenence![/glow] he ranted.
[glow=blue,2,300]You and your 'buddies' better get me someone behind bars by the end of today or you can hand in your badge...

and give that idiot Epyon traffic duty as of tomorrow for the next fortnight! Maybe he can be professional and turn up then![/glow]

[latyrx7]

[glow=blue,2,000]"Whoawhoawhao Hey! Why you busting my ball bearings Captain? You haul us in here and start yelling before we can tell you that the lab boys know what it is that caused those murders. Scraplets. Now, maybe you should call your BOSS and have him have some help ready, cause its going to get bigger then this before you can peal your face off a unbreakable window... SIR!"[/glow]
