Jacoby contemplated his friend's question as he followed Bradamante to the crime scene. Had the Blood Angel killings been the work of a handler and their sentinel? There had been 2 incidents of sentinels going rogue before. The 1st incident saw a sentinel known as Cain go on a rampage through Volstryggr's underworld when its handler got taken by a gang of criminals. And the 2nd incident had a sentinel by the name of Moriarty take over 1 of the city's larger gangs after severe damage to its Magnus Core left turned it's mind from that of a dedicated keeper of the peace to that of a ruthless career criminal. But those were the only times sentinels had gone rogue the since the time of their creation and Cain had even been brought back into the fold once its handler was rescued. On top of that only 1 handler had ever gone rogue. Unfortunately for aforementioned handler, his sentinel had no intention of joining him in such a venture and promptly locked him in a prison cell. Other than those 3 cases, both handlers and sentinels were incorruptible. Sentinels being programmed to stand as bastions of peace and justice, and handlers being selected by the sentinels for their strong commitment to the aforementioned ideals.

"[color=fff79a]I can't see that happening[/color]" Jacoby said finally "[color=fff79a]For something like that to happen, both a handler and their sentinel would have to go rogue at the same time. But only 2 sentinels have gone rogue with only 1 of them actually staying rogue, and only 1 handler has ever gone rogue to date and he didn't even last a day, let alone long enough to kill over 50 people. So the likelihood of that happening is next to nothing. And besides, there aren't...weren't many sentinel/handler pairs capable of taking down Cyth and Abe, and those who were able to do so wouldn't have gotten away unscathed, so unless 1 of those pairs turn up covered in unexplained dents and bruises, I think it's safe to say that we can cross other sentinel/handler pairs off the list of suspects[/color]".
