But where could such a location be? You think for a moment longer before your thoughts rest on…

No…wait. That doesn't sound like the right place that the Beast would run off to. There's nothing there for them to be attracted to, and while there are people there, it still wouldn't explain why the one you just ran into didn't want to attack you in the first place. There's something else at stake here, but you don't know what. You just need more time to—a crackle on the radio interrupts your thoughts and you answer it. "Good to finally be able to talk to you, Dorn Wilton," Allenby says to you. "Took out a Beast just now, eh?"

You shrug and ask him what's going on right now. "Right. Got a new set of coordinates we need you and the President to head to. Should be a much more secure location, and we'll be able to get through this hassle quickly once the President's there. Would like to pick him up myself but these Beasts are popping out of nowhere like weeds. You ever heard of something like this before?" You tell him you haven't and ask when you should leave.

"In about five minutes. We need to make some time for preparations on our end, as well so make sure you take a deep breath before we plunge you into the deep end," he replies before signing out. You sigh and radio your teammates, letting them know that they need to return to the limousine.

Time to send the President back home.
