As The Team spoke, they could hear a whirring sound, almost like a Helicopter. As if out of nowhere, a gold ship appeared in the sky, touching down outside the wrecked mansion. 'C'Mon everybody. I know it's pretty conspicious, but it generates a field that erases it from the memories of the ordinary people as soon as they look away from it.'
As The Team entered the ship, Rachel took one last cursory glance at Cal's body. Two Hazmat-clad technicians went out of the ship and loaded Cal's body onto a stretcher. It was a dangerous world they lived in.
'Episode 2: Change the World'
Welcome to London-a city which is half a bustling metropolis, and half a shady city of backalleys and secrets.
Soon, the ship arrived outside a nice, yet humble house in Kensigton.
The door opens, revealing Joshua Naismith. He's wearing a suit (without the jacket), and is wearing an apron.
'Ah, Miss Safron, and Mr Kresnik. I was just about to leave. Just waiting for my sister to come and pick her boys up. Would you like to come in?'
He smiles a friendly smile.

Meanwhile, Crichton, Rachel and Beetle are dropped off at a clean science lab. Although it's late, Jayna Naismith is still working. She steps out of her Lab, wearing a white lab coat and holding a clipboard.
'Shall we?' She says curtly. The lab doesn't look to extraordinary, but there is a conspicious locked door, with the Roman Numeral VI on it, which may hold something a bit more interesting.
'I'm Doctor Abigail Naismith, and I'll be guiding you around the Lab today. I'm glad that scientists of your stature have come to visit our little project.'
She was clearly trying to act businesslike, but couldn't mask her joy at meeting them, and that the possibilities that her project could bring. 'Aeronauticsand Astrophysics, Robotics, and Cybernetics. I'd love to ask you more about yourselves, but I imagine that you'd rather see what we're working on. So what have you already heard about us?'

Joshua shook 'Ludger's' hand enthusiastically. 'I'm Joshua Naismith. Very nice to meet you.' A child's voice called out from inside Joshua's house. 'Uncle Josh, who is it?' 'Just some friends from work, Toby.' He looked at Kresnik and Saffron. 'You'll catch a cold out here-would you like to come in? I could get you a cup of coffee, or tea if you like?'Victor nods, waiting for Saffron, offering a hand in a gentleman-like fasion for her. it would seem that Rachael chose to call him Ludger Kresnik instead of Victor and to make his appearance as that of his former self. Victor, thinking this over, can't tell whether its brilliant, or cruel. "Please, Sir." while he doesn't feel different, and feels like the mask is still in place, he does his best to act like his other self, minus the nearly mute nature of this time. "I'm Ludger Kresnik. You are?" He seems eager for the masterful saffron to take over, not the best with missions of 'diplomacy' like this one himself.

'Ah.' said Joshua, smiling warmly. 'A sweet talker. It's true, I have a lot of connections, but it took me a very long time to get them. Almost as long as it took me to write my book. I never thought that I'd be interested in Politics, but...I just feel that we're on the verge of a big change in the way we live. And I wouldn't mind being the pilot of that wonderful change.
Ludger remains quiet through the whole thing, true to his nature, as well as Getting some powder that apparently makes the drinker tell the truth ready while Hidden in his sleeve in case Saffron fails, as he has no idea what to say thanks to his 'if it annoys you, kill it' mentality. He helps Josh produce the coffee, putting the packet in with the sugar, done masterfully In such a way that the mix would look like sugar falling in. this, Coupled with Saffron's Wiles, should get them what they need, but at great cost, as most of Victors items were consumed to make the working powder, something he'd have to restock soon. Ludger just focuses on preparing the caffeinated concoctions, before handing the clean ones to Saffron and himself, nonchalantly handing the laced cup to the other man. it seems that Victor was a Master at poisoning as well, as the Truth-serum would've been no different from your run-of-the-mill powdered poison. He Smiles softly. "We want to know more if you'd be willing to tell us that is. Why have you chosen the path you did, What led to your writing to book? Why Climbing the ladder so fast? Isn't it hard on your Nephews?" Merely questions both meant to keep on topic, and to see if the drug was working yet. It seems, even in disguise that Victor has a hard time suppressing his dark, sadistic tendencies. Good thing he Sent Elle to his better self.
Haha, a very good question,' said Joshua, merrily drinking the Truth Serum Coffee. 'Well, like I said, I believe that the world is on the brink of a breakthrough, and I want to be there when it happens. Project R.A.I.N will revolutionize the world, but that's only the beginning. I guess that I wrote my book to inspire people like me. Those who want to change the world, in any shape or form. Hence the title.'
Ludger shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly, but rather then trying to shrug, he was trying to make sure they were still there, and to his relief, they were. he looks at josh, and nods. "Yes sir. Lets end with a note or skepticism on my part. RAIN sounds too good to be true, and, from my experience, when something is too good to be true, it usually is. something like that could learn to become sentient, and then turn on its host, or, corrupt them, or some such. HOW can you be sure this isn't going to be the biggest international backfire this side of nuclear war?" He waits for an answer, having made sure his GHS device (think Cell Phone) was recording the entire ordeal for his employers, that way if either of the two forgot anything, the transmission would help them retain information, though it also meant that he had to have possession of the GHS, otherwise Ludger's questions would be too quiet to hear. having muted the devices speakers, this mastermind as effectively turned an everyday tool into a bug of sorts with no more then a few standard functions of the device.
he waits for Josh to grab the car, and whispers to Saffron. "Killing this man would be unwise. RAIN would know we are onto them as a result...." He looks at his GHS, increasing the volume and holding it between them so they can hear instructions from their employers, see if they have anything to add.

Meanwhile, far away, back in The Box, a guard stood outside Ace's cell.
'You've got a vistor, Kid.'
The shutter on Ace's cell opened, to reveal a set of beautiful brown eyes.
'Yep, it's him. Hello, neighbour. Your sentence may have just been cut short...'
