 After everything seemed to have settled, an elusive group of shadowy warriors dressed in black and wearing masks continued to scour the rooftops and the darkest alleyways, their robes all bore the cog-shaped symbol of the Gravekeepers. Their leader dressed in black tights, and a belt carrying a packet of Kunai daggers. He was sporting hair white as snow despite his youthful appearance of that of a young man in his late twenties.

 'Are we now close to the necromantic energy signature?' the leader asked his three underlings. 

 The first underling with messy blonde-brunette hair answered, 'we narrowed it down between the Downtown area and the Eastside burrow.'

 A second underling of African American heritage corrected him, 'I think you meant Eastside Barrio Carey, you're not in Perth anymore!'

 'Oh, shut it Luther, I didn't ask to be bloody transferred to LA so you can make fun of my limited geographical skills!'

 Both Carey and Luther continued to lash out at each other until the third underling; an alluring streetwise young woman stopped them by yelling at them, 'oh for fuck sakes both of you shut up. Yes, you're both pretty, but can we get back to the mission at hand please!'

 The leader calmly told the young woman, 'thank you for getting those two back in line Dahlia. In regard to the mission do we have anything else that can help us on this little task?'

 Carey grabbed a device from his backpack to help scan and triangulate the location of the necromantic energy.

 The scan results came back on the device and Luther read out to the others, 'according to the scan results, our target is located below us, and I do mean really below us. Like subway sewer level.'

 All four squad members headed towards the area resonating with the strongest amount of necromantic energy. The trail led to an undisclosed sewer entrance with a loosely opened sewer plate near an alleyway.

 Dahlia looked up to their leader, 'what do we do now Kalipo?'

 While observing the sewer entrance, their leader Kalipo contemplated what to do next. He assured himself of what the mission was really about.

 Kalipo commanded his team, 'send a report to headquarters. We are approaching our target; tell them we have located Darksun...'
