Cozy, quaint, and not big at all, it best serves as the last stop for independents and soldiers before they make their way into the Wilds. However, all is not what it seems; there is a disproportional abundance of crime in Ateeka. While the number of crimes committed is nowhere near that of, say, Neon South or Mason, there are fewer people actually doing them. At face value, that was what Chief Detective Curtis was trying to stop. He seemed hellbent on stopping the surge of crime in his town, especially those of drug distribution. His current crusade was against that of the neurological drug "Hyperion", which has showed strong mental alterations to all races, including droids. Because most of this crop was raised in renegade outposts in the Wilds, it was only a matter of time before it started springing up in the gate town. Curtis tried to get a handle on the current situation. His people had just managed to complete a drug bust, but they had failed to bring back adequate amounts of Hyperion drugs. His force also managed to take strong casualties in the process, and yet the people who they were trying to bring in roamed free on his streets. He sat at his desk and pondered when the person who answered his post was to come around. He learned that more often then not, people who answered those posts were stronger than his own forces.

His trip to Kumbar sure got him around pretty soon when a few of his father's friends headed him towards the Mission Board for help needed around the world. For a week-trip, Draiken was getting used to traveling. As he walked towards the Chief's office, he kept a hand on Rai, the katana that would be most helpful in the case of a sudden attack. If crime was that big of an issue, then he'd need to keep his guard up. It worried up a bit that Ateeka's police force couldn't take care of the criminals themselves, but that's why Draiken came here. He knocked on the door before entering. "So, Chief, what's the problem around here?" the mutant asked, skimming his eyes over the office to learn more about the Chief. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary and little else revealed itself to be connected to the Chief outside of the police business. Well, might as well get to the debriefing.

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my office?" At the movement, half the department pulled out their own pistols and aimed at the intruder. Maybe Draiken should've approached this more conservatively. Choose your words carefully.

Farther away from his katanas, but better than getting shot immediately. "By who, do you mean by my name, or who I am not?" Draiken started, thinking about doing this one step at a time to avoid a misunderstanding. "By name, I am called Draiken Talkos. I am not one of the criminals I signed up to take care of," the mutant started out, answering the first of the Chief's questions while leading up to the second. "According to the notice, I am to meet with you about this mission. Perhaps I should have made an appointment first, shouldn't I?" he added, hoping that by acknowledging his mistake, he became less of a threat. Draiken did not come here to get himself killed by the police force he volunteered to help out.

Doo Wop. Posts: 363 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: February 8, 2008	A tense moment settled in as none of the guns faltered. Finally, "Next time, make sure you alert my secretary you're here, Draiken." The detective relaxed and lowered his weapon. As if on cue, the people behind Draiken lowered their weapons and went about their business. Whew, almost got yourself killed on this. Your dad would've been pissed. ((XD)) "Close the door on your way in, kid," Curtis said as he say back down. "It pains me to resort to outside help, but my own forces are low enough. We need to take some bastards down and you're the only one who can do this. They deal in Hyperion, and I want these drugs off my streets. Kill all who oppose you and bring all their stores of drugs and any information on where their other gangs and stashes might be."

Think people as well as objects when scanning a room, he noted to himself as he closed the door. Listening to the chief, the mutant had a few thoughts. I'm the only one? I don't get any backup? was the first thought, and And if I have to kill them, I don't get any information, and I am forced to scour the city and dig them out, was the second. "Sounds good, Chief," Draiken said after receiving the full details of his mission. "Any leads to start with?" Better than getting lost and overwhelmed by an ambush. But the drug issue confused him a bit. Why not catch who is supplying the drug? If the source disappears, then it should only be a matter of time before the addicted ran out of the substance. If the chief saw the gangs as a problem though, it shouldn't be his place to refute that. Still, the bit of sense he just thought about nagged him. Maybe something to ask afterwards.

"Ahhhh...yes, from their warehouse, the survivors were seen heading west from the location, possibly to another safehouse. They should still be armed. We're right now fishing for some more information through one of our captives. Actually, if you'd like, you can come with me and we can check on our guest." He stood up. "You want to?"

He wasn't used to crimes like this back where he lived, but then again, not much happened where he lived, except for that stray droid that killed his mother. Shaking the unhappy thoughts from his head, Draiken stood up and waited for the Chief to go check up on the prisoner. Meanwhile, the young mutant went over the information he now knew. The criminals were seen heading west from a warehouse to what possibly may be their safehouse. Their base would contain this drug called Hyperion which Draiken was to keep "off the streets" as the Chief put it. He then racked through his mind about Hyperion. Something about it seemed familiar, besides that it was bad news, but he wasn't going to make a connection right there. Figuring that it would come to him if he heard about it, Draiken followed the Chief out of the office. He'll think more after listening to the prisoner.

As the two moved through the police department, Draiken was given odd looks. Maybe it was the fact that he walked into their work without any warning it all, maybe it was something else, but the looks he was given more than enough for him to realize he couldn't be trusted here. The duo came through a large, iron door, and as they entered, Draiken could here shouting, though it was distant and muffled. While some of it was cut out, it could be easily heard. "--you see? This is...facade! There's more going on...meets the eye." "Shut up. We'll keep this up until you answer...ow, will you cooperate?" "...in on this, too, huh? Well, you can kiss my...ratting out my brothers." "...the charge to 60k." A piercing shriek filled the halls Draiken and Curtis were walking through. Curtis spoke very suddenly, as if to cover up something. "Don't be alarmed, this is standard procedure. Well, only when dealing with gangsters and terrorists. But please don't be deterred by our methods. We only do what we do for the people."

Advanced Member Posts: 53 Group: Members Member #10 Joined: April 20, 2008	Draiken kept his face impassive, although inside, he was getting the feeling that things were more troublesome than it appeared to be, but was it from what was happening to the prisoner or with the police? Not like he was expecting a lot of gratitude for taking up the mission, but the mutant figured that there was more than drugs going on. Weapons against the police, perhaps? Terrorists, Draiken could somewhat understand for the end treatment that the prisoner was undergoing, but gangsters weren't quite as dangerous. That was Draiken's quiet life experience speaking there. He remained silent through the walk on the halls, trying to piece the situation together. Gangs dealing drugs: end the drug distribution, probably by getting rid of the storehouses. But where was it coming from? That would be something to ask before he left. Also, who's also involved? A rival gang? A seemingly trustworthy smuggler of the drugs? This was just not making any sense. Mentally sighing, Draiken contemplated what he would do when seeing the prisoner. Obviously, the interrogator was trying to get something yet at the same time denying something. Confusion would lead to option paralysis, so he stowed away the information to look at later; he needed as much information as he could, like pieces of a puzzle. He couldn't just stop where he was and guess his way through. Or he was thinking a lot more than he had to. More reason to stow the information away for later.

Doo Wop. Posts: 363 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: February 8, 2008	The two came to a metal door, which swung open as the two came close. It seemed the sounds were coming from here, as the yelling rang loudly in the area. Two men were staring through a window to a room where a woman, with old-looking wires attached to her wrists, and a man, standing and looking very aggressive sat at plain table. The man lifted his hand, and the woman's shrieks subsided, maybe due to the fact that electricity was being force-pumped through her body. "Alright, Krin. We've delayed this long enough. Tell me where your little friends' hideout is. Enough blood has been said for your crimes, and we don't want to add to it." "Yeah, I bet you don't. You're not getting anything from me to fuel your own business." "Why, Krin, I don't know what you're talking about." "Screw you, half-blood, I don't KYAAAHH" Her body surged once more with deadly electricity, making her convulse and foam at the mouth. The man pulled himself close to her twitching body, and muttered something incoherent. Just then, Draiken and Curtis entered the room. As they did, her body stopped convulsing. The man stood up. "This," said Curtis, waving his hand as an introduction, "is my second in command, ID Mewling. He has been interrogating this woman for information. Have you found anything of use yet?" "We've found little, but we've got some leads as to where it might be through some probing, though it is hard to do so; her mind is conditioned against such." Curtis turned to Draiken "Ask him anything you'd like. When you think you have enough one of the men outside will escort you outside so that you may continue our mission."

Obviously, anything too probing or personal would get him into as much trouble as the prisoner had, and that would not be good. "So, um, the chief told me about the warehouse that some of the gangs were last seen at possibly heading towards a safehouse. Is there any more information concerning the destination and/or the locations of other bases?" That would make for a start while Draiken considered questions that wouldn't get him in trouble, but that would be difficult considering the situation now. Well, comes to show that he should choose his missions more wisely next time. Might as well get this one over with before going on.

The warehouse is not far from here, just to the south. From there, the survivors were headed west. On Krin, we've located some items that might hint at the location of the safehouse. We have no information as to where the safehouses might be." The man went to the table and grabbed a finely wrapped cloth that seemed to have a tingly aura about it. "I should tell you about the survivors. There were 4, heavily wounded but not fatally so. All were armed with pistols. One is a pyrokinetic, one has a soul-bound axe, one is an aerokinetic, and the final one can fuse himself onto inanimate objects. Krin was the only one we could capture. We know she is a mutant, she displays the mental prowess of one, but her power is unknown. As well, one of the mutants, the aerokinetic, was seen with a pendant in her hand, holding it for dear life. I suggest you be careful when dealing with the pendant, we have no idea what it does." "Is that all the information?" asked Curtis. "Yes it is, and I doubt we'll be able to fish any answers out of this scum." "Then kill her. She poses a danger if she stays here, we still don't know what her power is. Do it humanely and quickly." Mewling raised his hand, and Krin slightly twitched before sagging, lifeless. What was weird, was that it seemed she had a grin on her face as she died.

The young mutant shook the thought from his mind; it wasn't his place to question procedures. "Interesting item that was found. Is there any idea as to what this may be or what it means?" Draiken asked the chief, examining the cloth while thinking about the four escapees. The pyrokinetic and the fuser could cause some difficulties while the axe-wielder can be taken care of with Draiken's abilities. The aerokinetic would probably be the most troublesome because although it was similar to Draiken's ability, this person would have more experience and wield his/her ability more easily. Not to mention that he probably wouldn't be facing them one at a time.

"I know not what it is for, but maybe it will react when you get to a certain place, or maybe it will allow you to see or hear things. Who knows? Had we gotten it to an identifier, we would know its purpose, but that takes weeks, weeks we don't have. I don't see how else I can help you, um...Draiken, was it?" He held out his hand, as if for a handshake. "I wish you luck on finding them and bringing this crime ring to an end." "As do I," said Curtis. "And I hope you can get on the job promptly."

His final glance at the prisoner gave him an almost imperceptible shudder. He put the cloth in his pocket, forcing himself to focus on the mission. Still, the otherworldly sense of justice nagged him, but the mutant could worry about that later. Outside, Draiken headed south to the mentioned warehouse to search for clues. Perhaps the survivors left some clues. Looking at the seemingly abandoned warehouse, Draiken drew Rai in his left hand, opening his senses wide to detect possible ambushes. It drove him crazy that he couldn't have waited to train his abilities a bit more before embarking on this mission, but what could he do now? Survive to train himself, he supposed before refocusing on the area and searching for carelessly left behind clues. Information could keep him alive if he knew how to use it, so the more he had to analyze, the better. What the heck was the cloth for, anyway?

Doo Wop. Posts: 363 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: February 8, 2008	Sadly, searching the empty warehouse yielded nothing. It seems the police were very thorough in confiscating everything here. Either that, or the gang left nothing for the police to find. Either way, Draiken found not a thing. No hidden stashes, no secret doorways, no nothing. Something feels odd, though. Not about the warehouse, but it felt like Draiken was being mentally pulled towards a certain direction. It seemed like it was towards a wall, but a search found nothing on the wall. Maybe it was outside, maybe something was leading you to a spot.

Advanced Member Posts: 53 Group: Members Member #10 Joined: April 20, 2008	Draiken wondered where the mental pull was coming from. Was it the cloth leading him, or some remaining mutant to lure investigating people like himself to their deaths? Either way, even if Draiken ignored the feeling, it was only going to nag him later, so the young mutant left the warehouse and walked around to where the pull seemed to be taking him. He walked cautiously and quietly, not wanting to be caught up into a sticky situation in which his powers wouldn't help him too much. With that thought in mind, Draiken drew Kaze out of its sheath; better to be safe than sorry, and having Kaze would allow him to Warp to safer ground if needed. Maybe. Doubts were popping into his head about the narrow pathways between buildings, but it was a little late to worry about that now.

Doo Wop. Posts: 363 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: February 8, 2008	And so Draiken followed the pull for what seemed to be a couple miles. Sometimes he had to tread on a main road, where he was given very queer looks from passers-by. After all, it's not everyday you see some stranger appear from an alley with a katana held at the ready. They didn't mind the weapon so much as the awkwardness of the appearance. They let him be, though, for they had places to be, work to do, and other things to see. Eventually, Draiken came to a building with the words "Hen and Harry's Diner". It looked defunct, like it hadn't been inhabited for years. Even now, it looked empty. Draiken knew, though, through some unknown connection, that this was the place, without a doubt in the world. As well, the cloth felt warm and seemed to vibrate softly in his pocket.

BIC: Draiken kept both of his blades out, preferring to be ready with them as needed. It was a bit strange that it took so long to get here as well, but as far as he knew, this could be a trap to lure him. And what was going on with the cloth? Why was he being drawn here? He hoped that it wasn't a mutant connection thing because that would make it even easier to reel him in. Well, only one way to find out. Crouching slightly, the young mutant cautiously opened the door very slowly as to not draw attention. Didn't quite stop him from wincing at the agonizingly long creak came from the rusty hinges. So much for surprise. He remained crouched, figuring that if he was to be attacked that the hidden occupants would attack higher up his body if Draiken was standing straight. Rai in first; low possibility of stunning an adversary, but he wanted to keep Kaze for its versatility and Aeroblade ability.
