Clarkson looked at Rhingyll.
"Right, because I am going to totally allow the raising of one undead army under control of a Lich to fight another Lich's undead army, and just trust he will give the corpses back," he said, looking straight in the zombie's eye, "There are other ways for dealing with this. How is she equipping this army? Clubs? Swords? Guns? No weapons at all? We need to know what we are up against, and how to respond."
Clarkson saw John walk into the room, but Clarkson was more interested in the bird and the dragon. Least Clarkson could do was not make to hide the fact John was a PIA agent, needed as many people as he could trust. Speaking of which...
"And how do I know your just a double agent, and not a triple agent?" Clarkson asked, eyebrow cocked, "It would be very easy to give us good information, only to lead us into a trap."
-Meanwhile...-
John turned to Clarkson, "An army? You said we are taking down a single Lich."
"Also, how the @#$^ could the zombie be a triple agent?" John said, hoping to distance any preceived relation between the two by appearing a bit incompetent,"How could he keep his orders straight, or be trusted by either side? You don't trust non-humans, do you?"
Meanwhile...
The high command of the of the PIA, EU division sat on her chair, continuing to watch the footage captured from the two vans ("Clarkson, you KNEW one of them was a dragon. Those things aren't free.") She listened to the live feed from the archives department.
(Translated from German) "... The fairy is registered, British citizen, born on the Isle of Mad. Named Paaie Leslie, age 18. Army Cadet for three years before deciding to travel abroad. Been doing various courier jobs before taking an extensive world trips. Fairly well documented upbringing, private school.
Werewolf/class 3 aminmorph is registered, American citizen. Named Theon Versipellis, age 17. No data of employment, little on upbringing, public education.
Ascended mage #2 is unregistered, no known citizenship, no known name besides "Zaheer", no known age, currently suspect Middle Eastern origins or parents, unknown how he bought the plane ticket. Unlikely to find much on his origin's if he is Middle Eastern due to shortage and unreliability of records in the area. Has appeared on our grid as mage list in various places."
"At least we can arrest him for illegal immigration," The director said bitterly. She always liked knowing as much as possible about the people the PIA dealt with.
"Lich is unregistered, Roman Empire citizenship and has held many others including English and American citizenship, age estimated to be between 2130-2145 years old. Has never made much of an appearance on our radar for dangerous activity, second oldest Lich to do so. No known connections to Publius.
The Dragon... well, you will never believe this."
"I just dealt with a spending reports on mind eating lettuce containment," the director said irritated, "I am incapable of being surprised anymore."
"I found records on the platinum dragon, I think she was once human."
"@#$^," She said, "What records did you find?"
"Records of sale, of a family slaves of a French sugar colony," the subordinate said, "There were later records indicating many escaped slaves being recaptured, including the mother, but never the daughter. Still to this day on the island, it is told of a slave girl becoming a monster to free her family from the cruelest of slave drivers. One year before the mother was recaptured, there was also a huge drop in exported sugar crop from the island, and nothing to suggest weather conditions effected crop yields."
"Well, how do we know that story applies to THIS Dragon?" The director said, annoyed.
"1. The vast majority of dragons look caucasian, asian, or central American, none are known of New Zealand origins. 2. The documents of sale noted the little girl has green eyes."
"So, she might of once a human," The director said, pausing the video right as Lucia was transformed into a dragon, "Very interesting..."
