"This is from the relay station's security camera." Jordan said before handing Iris his phone, making Scott look over Iris' shoulder. Both of their eyes widened as they watched a beast like creature bust out of the building and run after Hayden and Liam in the woods.

"That looked big." Scott said and Jordan nodded, "And too fast for anyone to get a good look at it." He said and Iris nodded slightly. "It was bound to happen someday." She muttered before noticing the look on Scott's face, "You know what it is, don't you?" She asked. "The last Chimera." He says as he looks back at the building.

Jordan led the two inside the relay station, and they walked down the steps until they got to the ground floor. The space was completely wrecked- power cables were ripped apart and showering sparks. Equipment and cabinets of all kinds have been smashed or knocked over.

Iris noticed the puddle of blood on the floor near the wall where the technician was killed the previous night and crouched down next to it before turning back to Jordan. "Hey, do you still have a blacklight?" She asked and Jordan nodded, taking out a small UV light from his utility belt before handing it over to her.

She turned it on and shined it over the bloody puddle, revealing dark shadows of modified mercury before glancing back at them with a sigh. "Mercury means Chimera." She said and Jordan looked both horrified and confused, "But what was it doing here? Why come here and kill some random communications tech?" He asked and Scott sighed as Iris stood up and walked over to them.

"Maybe it just likes to kill. Maybe it's what it does." Scott said and Jordan's eyes widened slightly, "...That's terrifying." He mumbled and Iris nodded in agreement. "Parrish, how many bodies do you actually see when you dream about the Nemeton?" Scott asked and Jordan sighed softly, glancing at Iris as she grabbed his hand.
