Kaon, abandoned shipping port. Dusk. These things always happen when it's gotten dark out. Arcer and his team were on the hunt for a serial killer. They were about four years out of the acadamy, and Arcer had just recently been selected as their captain. As this was his first command, he was understandably excited. His excitement was muted, however, as his thoughts returned to the task at hand. The one they were hunting was a serious threat in recent months, going from one killing to another, from city to city. He had been tracked to this abandoned shipping port, and they had him cornered. As the crew split up, Arcer and the teams' mechanic/scientist, Spanner, made their way to the administration building, up to the watchtower. Spanner was looking at the layout of the compound and the buildings that could be used as a possible hiding spot while Arcer checked on the main control console, which powered up for exactly less than a useful amount of time before sparks flew out and it powered down again.
