Upon Lexi's signal, Rattus took his seat, not the kitchen chair she offered to him but on the sofa he was standing next to earlier. She then told him how she thinks of Neo as a person, on how maybe they misunderstood each other and expressed hope on fully reconciling with the blonde alchemist or, at least, work well together on this case.<br/><br/>She then asked him about what they saw on the North of Seattle regarding the skull and the curse in general. Before he began his reply, Rattus pulled out his flask from his coat, drank from it and said, "First of all, I'm sorry to inform you that my resulting report would not say anything specific due to the condition of the weather when the reconnaissance took place during that time. I, however, could assure you that they are helpful enough to confirm suspicious activity from an opposing party, however unclear they might be this time. I do recommend, therefore, that more observations would be needed in some other time to distinguish certain features of our enemy's base of operations or, in this case, rally point."<br/><br/>"As for what he have observed in North Seattle, we wouldn't have found out where the enemy's outpost is placed if not for the fact that they were glaringly obvious, due to the fact that they all wore a certain mark that can best be described as a black and red armband." Rattus then kept his flask back and shifted his tie to tighten it. "They were also heavily armed with AK-type rifles, although I can not ascertain what specific model they were due to the distance of our observation point from them. However, I can assure you that they have garrisoned an warehouse in an abandoned shipyard and have set up sentries and patrols, although I cannot estimate how many of them due to weather conditions. But the most definite sign of their garrison was the flag they raised over what we can assume as the perimeter of the garrison area. It was a black flag with a red insignia, although I can't make out the very features of the insignia itself due to the weather conditions."<br/><br/>"I am, however, asking the question of why are the local enforcement agencies not taking any action against this group if they seemingly pose a safety risk in the whole city." Rattus concluded.
