At the edge of nowhere a door disintegrated in a flash of light illuminating three figures. They stepped into a room small orbs of light floating at their shoulders. The room they stepped into would have looked pristine if it hadn't been for the layers of dust covering the surfaces of computers, centrifuges, microscopes, and other equipment.

"We have found the source."
"The wards that keep it hidden must be failing."
"Soon it will be-"
The third figure gestured for silence.
"Remind Greyback he is needed for more than slaughtering what's left of this place's defenses."
The two figures bowed low before backing out of the room leaving the third alone in the near darkness. The third figure gestured with a glowing hand causing the lights and equipment to come alive. He strode into the room and picked up a folder brushing dust from it.
"One step closer, my lord," the figure said to no one before placing the folder back a few words now legible... Project Backfire - Clea.
