It was a mostly ordinary day in the early summer of Tokyo when one of the alarms went off.  Although those in the HQ would have a much easier time in noticing, anyone who was chipped could easily be alerted.<br/><br/>Although the magicka sensors were still in the prototype, redundant scanners and an allowance for a certain threshold meant that magical energies could be picked up and narrowed down pretty much all over the island of Japan.  It wasn't fully necessary, as most everything seemed to happen in Tokyo, but it didn't hurt to be cautious.<br/><br/>This particular ping went out due to a reading in one of the old underground subway tunnels.  The particular area had been abandoned 20 years ago after earthquake damage proved unnecessary to fix due to other nearby lines, and the resulting caves had never been fully explored to any serious degree.<br/><br/>The bots which kept people out of the abandoned station had already been given instructions to let each member of ULTRA pass.<br/><br/>Whatever was down there, it had some degree of magical power.
