Across the Threshold: Requiem's nine part 5

Mean while in Gash...

"Thanks for seeing us," Shiro Jack said, shaking Chipp's hand. The CPDF agents led by Chipp (excluding Scott) were currently at Shiro's office, a large sandstone trapezoidal building with triangular windows. "No problem. So Dr Karka will come by tonight?" "Yes we believe so." Kafe said coolly. "(Can't you just call him or something?)" Q still annoyed. "Well, he has disappeared of the map a few months ago, " Shiro said, "there was nothing on his social media accounts,  Only recently did he posted a flyer for our auction yesterday, saying that he will participate in the auction. As you all should know the auction is meant to pay for the renovations of the museum down the street." "Is it alright if we look around the city?" Chipp asked "Just to get familiar with our surroundings" "Yeah sure. Kafe, can you show them around town." "Yes sir." Kafe said nodding his head leading Chipp and the agents outback.

Outside  in the back lot, Kafe stopped the group and said "I need to  tell you guys something about the Werewolf of the Waste..." Chipp, turning said "You mean our man Scott?" "Yes," Kafe answered "If I were you, I"d keep an eye on him, those suffering from lycancy can be.....troublesome." "Hey! He's a trusted part of the team." Chip said raising his voice, but Bartch places his hand in front of the ceasarian saying, "We understand your caution but Scott is a good man. He's not the savage animal that you knew him as." "I understand that," Kafe answered "but I'm Saying you should be careful around your friend, he was given to your continent for a good reason." Then Kafe led them to Shiro's garage, which is an underground facility with a whole repertoire of various land and sky vehicles. He then led them to a navy blue hover craft with a winged Garuda hood ornament, "(What is that?)" Q asked. "Our ride." Kafe said. "(Huh?)" Q asked.

Later.....

The hovercraft flew over the city of Dirsh as each agent had varying reactions. Bartch was occasionally looking down and was taking notes about the surroundings on his phone, Chipp was looking around asking questions about Dirsh's current societal climate and anything that they should be worried about, Q was steadying himself by holding the railing with his prosthetic arms, and Wisey was also looking around taking in the situation with a clear smile. "So there has been sightings of Red Dragon solders as well as Dragon's Maw!?" Chipp asked. "Indeed," Kafe answered, "It was months ago, near the start of the year when some children had uncovered a secret summit between Dark scavengers and several grey cyclops like creatures led by a strange fan like monster."  "Fan like?" Bartch asked immediately, "Was it like the rest of the Cyclops like creatures?" "They didn't get a good look unfortunately, they said that they were on a cliff side in the rock quarry when it happened." At this point, everyone is now attentive "(So Dragon's Maw is now involved, this is getting out of hand!)" Q said. "Didn't we defeat their leaders before they could get the Gate-" Wisey began before Chipp cut him off, saying "Wisey!" causing Wisey to back off. Suddenly Kafe stopped the vehicle, setting it on standby mode and spun around saying "You dealt with them before!?" Before anyone could answer, an explosion was heard from further away. "(censored) IT! Not again!" Kafe said setting the ship to manual. "You can fight right?" He asked "(Yeah, Why?)" Q asked. "I have a feeling," Kafe said directing the ship to the Dirsh Ancient and Modern History Museum, "someone might not wait for the auction to happen!"
