The visit with Councilman Shelby had lasted a little longer than expected, the clock hit 8 PM, and the candle's fire was extinguishing slowly.

"It is well known that you have managed to solve many flaws with your inventions, it's a mutual benefit, y'know?" The man with the mustache muttered as he passed by the counter, this man's presence has always felt uneasy, despite the fact that the Judiciary Council were his main financiers for his projects and research, it was difficult for him to tolerate the temperament of this one in specifical.

"Craig, man! I didn't know you had children." The man chuckled and encouraged the infant to approach. What he didn't know was that this small creature has been born in the name of science, Craig's lastest experiment.
