“Sort of,” the Spider replied. “The Shroud’s men were wiped out by the Brotherhood agents. Apparently the Shroud has some kind of experiment going on that he doesn’t want disturbed, so they tried convincing the Gentleman’s group to stay out of the western and southeastern sectors of the city.”

“Strange,” Rovin replied.

“Yeah, tell me about it,” the Spider said. “Right now I’m going to check out the western sector. Since the Warlock I interrogated just now said something about an experiment with foreign alchemists, I’m assuming its taking place in one of the bigger labs over there.”

“My best guess would be the MagiTek building near the bank,” Rovin replied. “They’ve been under suspicion for a while, and Allivierion supposedly sent in agents to investigate the company a while back…they never came back, according to the rumors of course.”

“Thanks, Rovin. In all honesty, that was going to be my second guess if the first one did*' pan out.”

“And what was your first guess?”

“GenMag,” the Spider said. “The same company that King Roald chartered to research breakthroughs in humans channeling magic that comes natural to some races.”

“Now wait…why would he do that?”

“Beats me,” the Spider said as he began running across the rooftops of Varrock’s skyline. “But I do know that they’re still in the city after Roald’s charter was revoked by Allivierion on suspicion of treason against the city. Could be something, could be nothing.”

“Come to think of it…there was some sort of undead that killed some people during the Liberator’s attack, wasn’t there?” Rovin asked.

The Spider stopped dead in his tracks. “Of course…the Vampyre. I remember her now.*

*Do you think Roald knew that the terrorists had one with them?”

“I don’t think so...but then again there were the rumors of Roald’* vault underneath the castle.”

“So he might have known?”

“If the rumors are true about the vault, then I don’t know what to think,” the Spider admitted as he managed to leap effortlessly over a rather long gap spanning two buildings.

“Ok, so new theory" Rovin said. "Roald knew about the Vampyre. Let’s say he doesn’t like the idea of one running around his city unchecked. What would be the best way to fight a Vampyre?”

“Well if I wanted to waste human lives, I’d say one of those weapons the resistance fighters in Morytania are rumored to have engineered,” the Spider replied. “But the easiest way in my book would be to kill two birds with one stone and get another angry Vampyre to do the work for me.”

“But what about a Vampire?”

“Isn’t that what I just said?”

“No, you said Vampyre. With a Y. I said Vampire. With an I. There’s a difference. One needs to be in a cage to keep people safe. The other doesn’t.”

“So you think Roald commissioned a psychotic undead being as a failsafe against an intelligent undead attack from Morytania?” the Spider asked.

“Hey, you said it yourself. Roald chartered the lab to research cross-species magic. Could be that they just needed one for a test subject or raw materials and already have a human specimen with Vampiric magic all ready to go.”

“But who would be stupid enough to volunteer for an experiment like that?” the Spider asked as he came to a sudden halt at the edge of a roof.

“Wait, I have an idea,” the Spider said before Rovin could reply. “Double check my logic, will ya?”

“Sure,” Rovin replied as the Spider leaned against a nearby chimney.

“Roald fears an attack by Morytania. So he charters an alchemy lab to research cross species magic as a defense. Let’s say they already made a breakthrough….they can replicate the results if it worked the first time around. Do you think that the Shroud would’ve been willing to fund another charter for the lab in exchange for free access to the experiments as weapons against his enemies?*

*That could explain why the authorities haven’t evicted them yet,” Rovin replied. “If one charter is over but another remains, they technically have the legal right to be here if the second one permits it.”

“And who would be more willing to volunteer for that kind of experiment than one who’s willing to advance his position in the gang while gathering favor with the boss?” the Spider remarked.

“That sounds about right,” Rovin agreed.

“So it’s settled,” the Spider said as he turned west.“Looks like I’ll have to pay the GenMag a little visit.”

“Just do me a solid and be careful, alright?” Rovin replied.

“Heh. Yeah, I think that would be the smartest thing to do if the Shroud’s involved,” the Spider said.

“Well, there’s that. But I was thinking it would’ve been hard on Myra, ya know? She tips you off and you go and get yourself hurt…that kind of thing does stuff to a woman.”

“I’ve never known you to be perceptive like that,” the Spider replied.

“I’ve worked the City Guard for years,” Rovin said. “Had to deliver lots of bad news in my time. So just trust me when I say I know when there’s a connection between people. Even if they don’t realize it at first.”

The Spider cut the link off as soon as he began to get annoyed at Rovin. “Ingrate,” he muttered. “Myra’s just a friend. Someone I help out every now and then to get to my own ends too.” He repeated that sentence to himself many times, but for some reason he found himself doubting it.

Finished ch7.

OH NO! NOT THE BAT-SHAPED MAGIC! ANYTHING BUT THE BAT-SHAPED MAGIC!
Tease.

Well, now we have gangs who hate each other, but I am looking forward to a few other things instead.
But no problem, really, I'm sure that once things do get rolling, it'll all work out in a mixed way.

I'm speculating this all has something to do with that otherworldy dimension in some way. Oh wait...

ANYWAYS, just anticipating to the best of my intelligence! :P


Opeth, interesting band. I never heard of them, their style did give me a break from my usual listenings to Rammstein, Mushroomhead, GWAR, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Ozzy Osborne and a few others I cant recall.

Opeth make very long songs, poetic, with a lot of feeling. I still prefer Corey Taylor, Till Lindemann, J-Mann or Ozzy tho, heehee.

und keiner hort dich schreien.


Oh that music tastes. As for humanity failing, the above was supposed to be a little funny thing.
But then again, is it really?
:P

^Well if it wasn't obvious that the "otherworldly dimension" is going to be a major part of the storyline(s) by now...then I lose hope for the future of humanity. lol

Yeh, Opeth is...different. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like them, but for the most part I tend to listen to the kind of artists you mentioned, actually O_o

Meh, figured might as well give a short notice since it's been nearly a month (or 2....or 3) since the last update....

Due to school/irl issues the next chapter has been delayed for a while. It's sort of a long one so far, so I can't promise much in the way of ETAs....but I'm looking at getting it out within the next week or so if all goes well.
