In the dark of the night ( 'The Herculean' Entry)

The Characters

"Tell me about the girl." The old Royal said before sitting down in the corner of the Intelligence Office.

"Yes, My Lord." The captain replied before looking down at the pile of papers in front of him.

"Amelia Brandtcrest, twenty-five years of age. Adoptive daughter to Cassandra and Harold Brandtcrest: both deceased, biological parents: Unknown. The Brandtcrests never reported the incident and took care of all the paperwork themselves, stating the day they adopted the child her date of birth. Charmaine Brandtcrest: younger sibling, deceased. Amelia Brandtcrest, also known as 'Lady A', is the leader of the faction 'Justified', responsible for the bombings and vandalism that has been plaguing the business district lately." The captain finished summarizing the first few pages of his report.

"Orphaned and alone, good combination. Any personal relations?"

"None reported, My Lord. The sister died two weeks ago in a house fire after a raid with other known relatives."

"Good, good." The Royal said while scratching his chin. "What else can our spy tell about our lovely young lady?"

"Our spy has just infiltrated the faction a month ago, his reports, so far, only mentions very little information about the group's inner workings and attacks. The girl isn't too welcoming of strangers."

"And the group's psyche evaluation?" The Royal look at the captain expectantly.

"The team leader, Lady A, is basically the brain and backbone of the faction. No decisions made without her say so, she personally handles all the projects the group takes on." The captain replied promptly.

"So a grieving intelligent and cunning mastermind who is also a control freak. We can work that to our advantage. She'd be extra vengeful and reckless."

"We also have reports of her using some kind of concoction that left three of our operatives in ashes. We don't have anything concrete since we can't do any tests ourselves." The captain said with a scrunched face like he just ate something disgusting.

The Old man contemplated the new information with a very cold look directed at the captain. If this intimidated the younger man, he didn't show.

"We have a faction mastermind who's both perceptive and sly with a secret weapon against our kind in her repertoire. Indeed, we'll need to make this swift and efficient then."

"She seems to have a lot of good things stack up against us, My Lord." The captain said in an unusual show of uneasiness.

"Yes, she has a lot of great assets but she also has a weakness we can exploit." The old Royal snickered "Any human who fights us the way she does is surely scared of at least one thing; she is scared of being turned into one of us." The Royal went on.

"Also, don't forget her recklessness. We are hunters by nature, Captain, and a reckless prey makes mistakes. That and being over confident are her weaknesses and we can exploit that as well. As long as your spy inside comes through, we will get her."
