Black Order/Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Demon in the Machine

== 12:33 A.M. Airbone over the Indian Ocean ==

Painter Crowe was flying over the Indian Ocean while in contact with Logan Gregory and Kat Bryant. He was reading the mountains of information that Logan had faxed over about the Waalenbergs. This included a picture of twins Isaak and Ischke Waalenberg, the youngest heirs to the family fortune, a fortune that rivaled most countries' gross national product. The jet carried Painter, Lisa Cummings, Anna Sporrenberg, Gunther, and Majo Brooks with two U.S. Rangers.

Anna needed Painter's connections and Painter needed Anna's knowledge of the Bell. Painter picks up a picure of the family. A family of Sonnekonige. There could be only one answer: They had a Bell somewhere on the estate. Logan tells them that they will meet a British operative from MI5 who has been observing the family, as MI5 had been tracking them for years due to unusual transactions but were never able to penetrate due to their secrecy and privacy.

Painter and Lisa are interested in what Anna knows.

Anna tells them a lot of information. One important thing is quantum evolution, which is an accelerated evolution, something that is changed due to a quantum-mreasuring tool that forced the DNA to change. Anna says that human cells pushed the evolution of cells and DNA, allowing natural selection to kick in and preserve the modifications. The Bell is the ultimate quantum-measuring device. It holds a lot of power to evovle DNA in its perfect form and change mankind. It also had the power to conduct the reverse – de evolution. 5:05 A.M.

Gray, and Monk wake up in an estate by sounds of monkeys, in a cell of course. They had been moved to South Africa, the estate of the Waalenberg estate. A group of guards came and marched them to the grandfather, who is the patriarch of the family. They were Issak and Ischke, the twins.

5:18 A.M.

Painter learned a lot. Afterwards, he needed sleep. Unable to, he had to learn a lot about his nemey, trying to gain as much intel as possible. The Walalenbergs was a massive family stretching back to the 17th century and earned their wealthy from stakes in companies. Their income was supplemented by the massive mineral wealth on the massive estate. They embedded themselves in the political machinations of modern day South Africa. The family is lead by Sir Baldric Waalenberg. It was the power of the family that Painter suspected them to be behind the recent destruction of the castle in the Himalayas.

He connects to the fact that the two sonnekoige he saw are connected to the Waalenberg family. They were nazis if symbols are to be belived.

==6:04 A.M. South Africa ==

Gray stepped into a glass conservatory. He meets a white-haried person. It was Baldrive Waalenberg and he wanted to talk. He had the runes and he knew that the Darwin Bible had nothing more when Gray m ade his bluff. Then, Baldric reveals he had Fiona and monk in cages, and he releases one, but he hides. Now, he demands to know information on everything, particularly Painter Crowe.
