Strange occurrences amongst the clutter of already-overflowing crime statuses struck the news within the committee of the MI6 team and had also seemed to show itself at a bad time considering it subtly slowed the progression in the restoration of the S.I.S. Building.

A new criminal dared to emit their presence upon the Mexican media and for good reason, it was bared as urgency within the London district. They had been managing to get the jump on several skilled secret service agents and took them down off the radar with seemingly no mercy before they could even take a chance at this mysterious and well-shadowed enemy and considering the skill and clear capability of the individual, this meant danger for the agency itself with a rising threat of more fatalities to count on the death toll.
