As she pokes them, her finger burns! The angel cries out and pulls away, the three surrounding Marco.

"Begone, demon! We have no time for you!"

Marcia winces at the burning, then watches the three angels. "Well that's a bit rude! Why ya all gotta be jerks?"

In their investigations of the alleyways, the pair of Exorcists find scant tangible evidence of NPC homeless within the territory, although on occasion they might see a flicker of movement dancing atop the distant rooftops. It would appear their presence within the narrows was not a secret to the diminutive protectors who prowled the district.

For now it would appear though that the Chibiwanbanshu were keeping their distance from the pair, determining their motives and threat to the Chibi heartland.


*Creaaaaaaak*

There. Off in the distance! The sound of footsteps can be heard echoing down the street.

Thankfully, the scans reveal that the infection is a simple flu virus! As well equipped as the gangs seem, at least they seem to lack capacity for advanced biological warfare.

By now, the nuns are praying at all but a shout, the room echoing with 'Hail Mary' and 'Our Father,' prayers that cease with a surprised gasp as the sealed angel rises into view.

"Capturing one of the divine hosts... your heresy knows no bounds..." one of them whispers, kissing a crucifix multiple times.

Analysis of past behavior of the Cadwaladers does seem to synch up with what the third faction has shown. Due to their financing of weapons, they have access to some high-end weaponry, and weapons they didn't personally fund, they can acquire through contacts in the military. As such, the Cadwaladers have consistently been the most well-equipped paranormal experts in their home world.

However, it seems that there is no information as to how the Cadwaladers fight angels or demons... as there is no concrete proof that such entities exist in their world.

"We are at war girl! We have no time for pleasantries!" one of the angels yells. There's a glint of light... and he suddenly falls from the sky!

"What did you d-" one begins to yell at Marco just as there is another glint of light and she too, plummets to the ground below

The pair note the flickers of movement dancing across the rooftops around them. Lucy even has the gall to wave at them on occasion. Okuni however ignores them, nodding in the direction of the footsteps. Lucy nods and they creep towards them, Lucy keeping the sound of their approach from extending beyond them.

"Whoa, whoa, not my fault!" Marcia said, holding her hands up and laughing nervously. "Ya'll just seem to be... losing control of your wings? I dunno why; you'd think you would have better control over them, ya know?"

Scratches her head. "... that looks like it'll be a painful landing."

The medic makes a note of the infection, and informs the man of it, before offering an antiviral injection to help strengthen his immune system. Some notes are made to help ensure that the family gets some proper food and shelter to stay in, to prevent the illness from worsening.

The stasis cannister opens with a hiss, and steam billows out as moisture condenses upon contact with the cryogenic temperatures within. The angelic being shifts, and then moves, wings formed from some kind of solidified energy spreading out, flickering as the shift and curl about the room. Her eyes open, revealing themselves to be deep blue in shade, and she looks upon the gathered nuns and their prayers.

"My poor, suffering children..." she says softly, stepping forwards, heedless to the chill of the floor. "You have suffered so much... been bound so harshly... but now, your torments have come to an end. Come... take my hand, and I shall free you from those that would keep you imprisoned."

The analysis continues, but increasingly more and more of the AIs and analysts devoted to the subject determine that nothing more can be learned from the limited information the CTC has available. It's quickly determined that new information is necessary... and the most likely source of further information would be the agents employed by the Cadwaladers in the third faction.

The CTC had historically always kept a heavy monitoring presence within Muffinville, as part of their policy that information is the most powerful weapon. Their drones had been a familiar sight, floating down sidewalks and streets, while their Skywatch drones and satellites had kept a watchful eye from above. With the outbreak of gang violence, many of those resources had been pulled out, tasked with securing the borders of Academy City instead... but now they begin to return. Satellites and high altitude drones begin scanning the city, searching for signs of the mercenary attacks upon the angels and demons of the gangs, while the silvery hovering drones begin to return to the streets in force, searching for signs of the mercenary agitators.
