Mars Electronics initial assault
Thomas climbed some large crate containing shelves at grabbed the laser which came away very easily. So easily that Thomas was caught off balance and began to fall backwards. As if he had disturbed a nest, a swarm of seething black spiders swarmed across him. Undeterred Thomas continued his assault haring through the warehouse when a pain from within his bowels made him double over. Wretching, spiders began to come forth from surprised lips.

Between them they searched the place, an adjoining office and exterminated spiders. The sound of police sirens approached. They continued the search and mutually decided to stay, despite the approaching sunrise. Except brave Danior: when danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. When the police SWAT team arrived they had hidden themselves between crates and walls, with Thomas in a crate of GPS devices.

Go to sleep, little one
As the police searched the place, the sun rose. Alberto collapsed into an aisle and the SWAT team had a dead body on their hands. They called in "McPheeley" who took Alberto away in a bodybag before ordering a full search.

When Thomas' crate was opened Thomas suggested to the SWAT guy that he was not in fact in the box. Reg woke up in time to avoid the search sweep and Gideon kept alert enough to do so anyway.

After some time Mr Kurtz, the CEO of Mars Electronics, arrived. After being told about the break in, and the captured vampire Kurtz began to look through his bag. Pulling out a mirror he searched the warehouse through it, his eyes meeting with Gideon's. Gideon struck a necrofying blow and Kurtz retaliated by burning an agonizing hole into Gideon, diving out of the way and hoping his security detail that appeared as if from nowhere, would take care of Gideon. Gideon staring at half a dozen automatic weapon held by semi monstrous freaks decided to turn into ash as they began to fire.

Danior slept happily at the Circus with some travelling folk.
Alberto experienced unlife in a tube of blue goo, with occasional (nightmares?) of trenches, barbed wire, babies in bits, mass rapes etc with an incessant soundtrack of violins, guitar and a cowbell.

When Reg awoke again he realized the place was still occupied, army personnel this time. He decided to sneak out and head back to the Circus. Where he met with Danior at the Renaissance fair. To their surprise they met with the Autumn Queen who was Astarte from Malta. They talked for a while - Astarte believing the time for the vial to be revealed must be at hand to account for the strange coincidence of meeting again...the currents of fortuitous chance rode in her wake she explained mysteriously. She warned though, that revealing the vial would require a trauma of the very worst kind - it was deeply part of his being.

Let's make a deal
Alberto woke, melded at the circus and went to Cavendish and asked to find his friends and why he awoke at the Circus. Cavendish said it was because he had presumably gone to sleep there, but offered a deal to 'redirect' some children towards Mars Electronics in exchange for the whereabouts of his friends. This he did persuading a bus driver that he was directing them to a suitable place to park where they will be picked up for an audience with Cavendish, and found the locations of his friends.

Then he wanted Tamoszius returned, with faculties intact. The price was to be potentially under surveilance wherever he is by the circus, to be 'inclined' towards helping the circus towards its ends. He agreed, Cavendish suggested it might take an hour or two to arrange.

Thomas awoke, opened the crate, told everyone he hid there during the break-in, and was given military escort from the scene. Toreador for the win. He headed to Riverthrush to fill him in. At first Riverthrush was confused but when it was revealed the building was thought to be owned by Mars Electronics, he became much more interested and was surprised that they had attacked so hastily. He was alarmed about the spider incident, and identified a bane infection within Thomas. Thomas figured it was about time he saw Annabelle.
