Premise Parapsychologist Timothy Ulysses and his associate Rachael Harding (Timothy Ulysses, Crusader) work for the FBI's Special Science Division. Tasked with their protection is cyborg fox Miles "Tails" Prower (Miles the Cy-Fox), the spiritual next-generation in RoboCop technology and also a brilliant scientist in his own right. Together they are called in at the Eleventh Hour, solving crimes that normal police procedure and science can't. Episode 01 - Pilot Federal Law Enforcement Center Special Science Division Station Square The Special Science Division dealt with (as their main human troubleshooter Dr. Jacob Hood said) crisises of a scientific nature. Hood had seen it all, or so it seemed. Cloned babies, children maliciously poisoned by digitalis and food-borne paralysis by fungi. But when Mobius was discovered, a whole new can of worms was opened. Some of the new discoveries bordered on being defined as magic. Hood never believed in magic. He was the type who would have been committed to a war of words with a stage magician. If it wasn't for Agent Rachel Young and her Glock .40, he probably would have been carried out for his tongue. But Hood's time hobnobbing in both Earth and Mobius was over. It was time to pass the mantle. Dr. Hood was a tall, slim man with piercing blue eyes and graying black hair that was eternally curly. He always a black sportsjacket over anything he wore. Agent Young always looked dangerous but also very appealing while doing so, even in her late 40s. Hood toyed with an empty styrofoam coffee cup as Agent Young ate jelly beans. "Want some?" Young asked. Her eyes flickered, and small wrinkles of stress could be seen. The Executive Protection Detail was very tough. Even on petit blondes. "No thank you," Hood said sedately. "The dye on those is made from a South American beetle." Young then looked down and wrinkled her nose. "Disgusting. I hope the new guy is just as savy as you are." "New team." Hood said, closing his eyes halfways. "It's not just the boy. A girl too. I'm still surprised who Executive Protection is giving them." Young smiled. "Well it's not every day that the FBI gets their hands on an old RoboCop class unit. With Homeland Security flexing its arms, we're lucky to get the tires changed on our Towne Cars." Hood chuckled and then opened his eyes. He then looked at his watch. "They should be here, just about now." |

A blue sedan pulled up just in front of the building and parked alongside the footpath. As the engine rumbled to a halt, the two occupants looked at each other. "Are you sure black is fine?" Timothy asked Rachel, tugging slightly at the lapels of his suit, "I know it's all meant to be formal, but I don't know..." The fox next to him gave him a smile and patted his shoulder. "It's fine, Read. Besides, you don't want to walk into a government building on your first day wearing brown; it sends the wrong impression. Now, are we getting out or what?" Tim looked out the window and took a deep breath. "Yeah," he replied after a short pause, "Let's go." The pair exited the vehicle on either side; Rachel got out of the driver's side, being the more experienced driver of the two foxes. She straightened her dress (which, while newly bought, was still her usual blue) and jogged to the footpath to find Tim standing beside the car. He was shading his eyes as he stared upwards at the building. "I wonder where we're meant to go from here?" he pondered aloud. |

With that, another sedan pulled up beside their own. It was a gray-black Ford Crown Victoria (the LTD series having been long long retired since the 1970s). On the front door panels was a white shield which contained this insignia in an unusual orange:![]() The Crown Victoria was known to be the flagship government vehicle, but this car looked to be like a civilian model. No sign of strobe lights, sirens or anything remotely 'government' except for the buggy whip antenna in the back, which signified that its occupant at least had a police grade radio. The front driver side door opened quickly, and whoever that was driving must have been Arnold Schwarzenegger's weight lifting buddy, because the car door slammed into the blue sedan's passenger side door, setting off its alarm. The driver then casually stepped out of the car. He didn't see it as unusual that he was wearing enough armor to make an old French knight crap his pants, or that when he shut the door and glared at the blue car that the alarm stopped. He was just your typical unusual urban-enforcement grade cyborg fox. The fox's armor suit was white with the exception of some gray and orange through out its design. Two tails snaked out of a hole in the back end and swished casually as he stepped up towards Timothy and Rachel. His white muzzle (most of it hidden inside the helmet armor) had a blank expression on it. |

Both Tim and Rachel winced noticeably as the two doors collided, ears flattening as the alarm erupted right behind them. "Gr... Sc... ear... ing!" Tim shouted. "WHA...?" Rachel shouted back. "I S... CA... EAR... ING!" "I CA... EAR... !" "I S... HEAR A THI- oh." the parapsychologist repeated, only to have the alarm stop halfway through his sentence. He wiggled a finger in his ear and pulled a sharp about face towards the other car, opening his mouth to say something. The words lodged halfway between his temporal lobe and his spine as he caught sight of the immense figure stepping away from the black vehicle. Hastily closing his mouth, he continued turning until he was facing the other direction again. Maybe it's like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, he thought, if I don't make any sudden movements, it won't see me. Not much physical difference by the look of it either. His eyes widened as he saw Rachel fearlessly walking around the car from the corner of his eye. Nonono, don't make trouble with it! he groaned inwardly. Scratching one of her blue streaks absent-mindedly, the vixen strode cooly past the stranger, without acknowledging his presence, around to the passenger door and inspected the damage with a small 'hm'. Through some kind of sheer miracle, it had suffered only cosmetic damage. She marvelled at the amazing endurance the small vehicle wielded; it had been through much worse in it's time and was still running fine... "Nice arm," she commented without looking up, "You ought to play baseball." |

"Good afternoon," the fox said. "My name is Miles Prower, designation: Cy-Fox. I am your assigned guardian, assigned by the Executive Protection Division. My primary directive is to serve your needs and also your security." Cy-Fox then tried to smile, but it looked more like a grimace. |

Rachel's usually infallible smile wavered slightly. Obviously not the conversational type, then... "O... kaaaaay..." she said aloud, "Well, it's nice to know someone cares about our safety. I'm Rachel, and that yellow and black statue over there is Tim." "Dup dor a'az Mubster!" Tim squeaked, only half-concious of what he was saying. Rachel rolled her eyes. "He gets nervous at times," she explained apologetically. Walking over to him, she poked Tim in the ribs, causing him to jump significantly. "Reed!" she hissed, "Remember our talk about first impressions?" "First impressions?" he hissed back, casting a glance at the cyborg, "The job description said nothing about having Inspector Gadget here following us about!" "Oh come on," Rachel said, raising her voice to a normal level, "Now you're just exaggerating." Tim raised his hands submissively. "Guilty as charged, but the first time the word 'assimilate' comes up in conversation, I'm catching the next flight to Tokyo, see if I don't!" |

"I'm no fan of the Borg myself. In fact I prefer original Star Trek." Cy-Fox said, voice tuned towards that of his original, past self. "Sorry, but my systems have been on the blink today. It's a good thing that we ended up meeting each other here because you wouldn't have been able to enter without me with you." The cyborg then tilted its head down. "There'll be a small briefing by Doctor Hood and judging from metabolic scans, you two haven't had anything for breakfast yet." |

For the second time that morning, Tim found himself speechless; the sudden change of personality displayed by their new 'protection' was even more frightening than his appearance. If he weren't half-machine, Tim would have dubbed it schizophrenia. He decided to psycho-analyse him at the first opportunity; it's not every day you get to figure out how such an odd individual ticks. "Unfortunately not," Rachel confirmed, "We had a long drive ahead of us, so we didn't have much time." Tim shook his head and apparently found his tongue. "So, security's tight around here then?" he asked, nodding towards the building behind them. |

"Very. But my presence should expedite some of it. Come along." Cy-Fox said, indicating his head towards the doors. |

The pair exchanged a glance, then followed behind quickly. Rachel held the car key over her shoulder and locked it as they walked away. "You know, it's funny," Tim commented as he looked back at the car, "I never thought I'd end up working for the government in any capacity." He hefted his ever-present satchel onto his shoulder (the one thing he had refused to omit from his attire that morning) and patted it softly. "I just hope we're not making a huge mistake..." |

Just as Hood was staring down at his watch, the door to the room he and Young were in opened. Cy-Fox filed in and stepped to the side, waiting for his new principles to come through. Hood turned in his chair "Mr. Ulysses!" he called out. "I'm Jacob Hood. I think we've heard a lot about each other in the media." |

As he walked through the door, Tim was instantly assailed with Dr. Hood's greeting. He raised his eyebrows; while he had indeed seen the doctor's name crop up in many articles in the parapsychology circle, he was completely surprised to hear that his own name had recieved media attention also. Wow... I guess I ought to Google my own name some time... he mused. Rachel poked him from behind. "Remind you of someone?" she whispered. He nodded slightly; only one other person had ever called him 'Mr. Ulysses'... "Yes sir," he replied to the greeting, "I've heard a lot about your work. Although," he continued, looking around at the office, "I never really expected... well... this." |

"That's what happens when territory expands. It's hard enough to be science's one man army in the United States. Which is where you come in." Hood then looked over to Cy-Fox. "I see you met your protection. Don't worry about his quirks. Miles himself is actually a scientist as well with a, shall we say, strange past." "A twisted one at that." Cy-Fox said, half-lidding his eyes within his helmet. Hood sighed. "Luckily for us, there is currently no crisis, but when there is, he will be the one to know about it and inform you." Hood then stood up. "Now, if you would excuse me, I have a fruitful retirement to look forward to." |

Tim's eyes glazed over for a second, then refocused. He pushed his glasses further up the bridge of his nose. "Ah... you mean... that's it?" he asked. He and Rachel exchanged another glance. "That was easy," Rachel said. I wonder if everyone else in the building is as incomprehensible as this lot... the arcanist thought, arching an eyebrow. "So, what now?" he continued. |

Cy-Fox then turned his head quizzically "Fast food or something more formal?" |
