It is an unremarkable Thursday

Nikola has already retreated to his lab. He is pacing along his bench, eyeing the shelf above the Nubbins which looks more like a liquor store than a laboratory benchtop. Oh yes, he's going to do something about that ever growing collection of wine bottles - preferably before Helen finds them and accuses him (accurately) of stealing them.

"Don't squeak at me... I have fed you twice already," he muttered at the pair of Nubbins as they tried to get his attention.

Behind him, one of the large windows was open, its scarlet curtains rippling in the cool wind.

Kate knocked on the door before letting herself in,

"The defenses are up", she said, "Just say the word and I can have it all lit up and ready to go."

Nikola turned, a couple of empty wine bottles in hand.

"I don't know what's happened to our evil friends - it's been months... They could have taken us at any time."

"Waiting for us to let our guards down? Just plain fucking with us?" Kate suggested, tiredly. She hadn't been sleeping again, and it was showing.

Dana waited in a cafe across the road from the Sanctuary. She could still make out the walls of rock and iron keeping the inhabitants more like prisoners locked inside. No doubt it was heavily fortefied - she would expect nothing less from the 'Great Helen Magnus'.

Dana knew those walls would fall though - she had something more valuable to Helen, her daughter.

She smirked into her coffee and then set the empty cup down.

In the shadows, she lingered. Her cold, meticuless eyes scanning the great building before her. There was nothing great about it. Just a building. A building that must be taken down by any means.

She was completely shrouded by the shadows, except for the two orange orbs that seemed to float malevolently in mid air.

Silently, she stepped forward to stand beside Dana.

Dana was taking in the sight as well. It took a lot of guts to come after Helen Magnus in her own home. Here they were though, and Dana thought that they had a very good chance of coming out of this on top, and maybe with a few prisoners to play with, a few troublesome abnormals taken out of the equation.

"Everything is prepared," Dana whispered. "We have some scouts going in now."

"Simple pawns," Morgause commented darkly.

A soft knock came from the door and Nigel stuck his head in. "Mind if I join you?" he asked, hovering at the door.

[nikolat3sla]

Nikola set the bottle of wine down.

"If you know how to stop these things from squeaking..." he said, pointing at the Nubbins.

[nigelgriffin]

"What's got them in a dither?" Nigel asked.

[nikolat3sla]

"The weather - and we're out of Ashley's cookies..."

The little things had just been fed and yet they wanted more food.
