"Affirmative. Dangerous Old Blood, intercepted SOLIDER reports indicate codename Pestis. Sire recommended we track this one. All agents be advised, sire has initiated protocol Lucan. Official statement is to be made with 24 hours of incident, PR is to begin immediately. Statements of suspected vampirism are to be addressed with affirmation of controlled population within the UK. Officially, Pestis has remained largely inactive to the knowledge of British Intelligence. Target within range of friendly, direct orders not to engage. All available agents ensure survival of friendly. Be advised, possible interference of Purge incoming, note proximity to local vampire nest." An official mandate broadcasted throughout the MI6 secret supernatural sector. Bedivere was not at all pleased with the report of Void's arrival in the states being from London. The global implications thereof would be, rather grim for his puppet theatre. He had in so far as to consider invoking the council to commence judgment upon Void in committing this international incident without formal declaration or notice to the vampire Lords actively associated with both Nations. Even a small incident as this had large geopolitical consequences which tip the balance of the carefully constructed scales between the balance of human and vampire. Stir the flock into enough of a panic, and the backlash would be fatal to the status quo. But it was far more important to obtain Mithias. For Mithias was the key to Gabriel.

Terminal D. Gate D10. Brit. Int. Flight 267." The first message to tell Mithias there was indeed a plane waiting for him. "Channels detect reports of possible threat in area. Due to this, the captain has been notified of your arrival. Request for extraction has been sent to flight control. Please proceed to board immediately, giving your phone to the steward. Takeoff has been cleared within designated 15 minute window." The urgency was rather clear here. "And have a pleasant flight."
