It was not a good night for Brad Carbunkle. No Jenny meant no fun. No excitement. So tonight he found himself alone again, bored out of his mind. He'd had another fight today, with the only other person in this city he truly cared about. He hated it, when she was like this. He thought he was alone in Mezmers. Then a glass slammed down next to him. Jenny turned to him, smiling. "Hi Brad," She said, "Have you seen Melody lately?"

Alex was hunkered down in his house, though he had established com-channels with the others (though he wouldn't directly contact Jenny), and was surveying the town by tapping into all surveilance networks that he could hack (which was pretty much all of them).
If Melody was around, he'd probably be the first to know.

Jakob took his own direction in looking for Melody. At the same time, he was getting some R&R. KPG's house was a haven for the duo. More-so for the Doctor himself.
Jakob channel-surfed, before deciding on a different course of action.
"Y-K9... Created by... Something Mogg. Lives in Tremorton."
KPG overheard and turned in his chair. "Yeah, you should try to squeeze information out of that character."
"Doesn't sound like something you'd readily say," Jakob said as KPG tossed him a polished-up sniper rifle
"He's hardly original," KPG replied, "And his creations are quite inferior. Have heard reports that his robot could not even split wood using strength alone."
"So, any idea where he lives?"
"Nope," KPG chuckled. Jakob didn't. "Which means you'll need to find it yourself."
"Shouldn't be difficult." Jakob said as he stood and started leaving. He then returned suddenly to grab his submachine gun. He added "Gonna need this."
KPG simply gave a thumbs-up.

"So, Jakob, where 'ya headed?" Alex asked over the channel (which also allowed for tracking).

"Going to check on the third of our current targets. The Y-K9. More specifically, his creator. The creation is no-doubt loyal, and will notice when we go after his master. That will be what we want," Jakob replied, securing his equipment and revving up the now-fixed-up motorbike.

"Alright. The way looks clear....you won't have to worry about interruptions this time." Alex replied. "Just let us know what you find out, if anything. Alex out."
He went back to monitoring the feeds and feeling sorry for himself.

"I haven't seen her in ages, you should know that Jenny," Brad said. He was lying. Jenny knew it. She frowned, giving her friend a harsh look. "Brad, tell me the truth," She said. Brad sighed. "The truth is...difficult," He said. *** Champ stood perched on a rooftop across from Mezmers, waiting. He felt uneasy. Maybe he was just nervous about the sudden divide in the team. Maybe part of him wanted his return home to be more peaceful. Probably both. Still, he waited to be contacted by someone. Jenny or Alex, whoever needed his help more. He didn't care about the job, it was the wait that was killing him.

((Not gonna be around to post until tonight, probably about 10:00 PM Eastern or so, so if you could either wait until then or make posts that don't relate to Alex, that'd be awesome. ))

The Mogg estate. It was smaller than Dr. Wakeman's mansion, but it was still suitable for laboratories and experiments scientists usually do.
Also, the smaller it is, the easier it is to search for information.
Jakob knocked on the door. He wouldn't need to worry. No sign of a security camera or an eyepiece on the door.
His hat was still off as well. Suspicious looks were down by that alone.
The door opened. The doctor himself was at the door.
"Hello, is your son here?" Jakob asked, trying to sound remotely friendly.
Mogg seemed cheery anyway. He called "Y-K9?" before he moved out of the way.
Jakob felt a sensation that he was being thrown back. He then realised that he had been tackled by a giant robotic dog.
Little strength. The element of surprise is what threw Jakob off in the first place.
He flexed his legs inward and shoved both feet into the Y-K9's chest, effectively throwing the canine android off. Jakob then rolled back up and was back on the advantage.
He could see the robot now. No sneak attacks. The doctor remained watching by the door. Smart man, and a lucky one at that. Jakob could have rolled in, smashing things. This just makes things easier.
The canine lashed out, but Jakob was quick. Despite being half the size, Jakob had double the fighting ability and power than the dog. Well-placed punches and kicks for five minutes resulted in a defeated Y-K9 on the ground, whimpering.
Jakob got his pistol out, and aimed it at the back of the dog-bot's head. He then turned to Phineas.
"You aided your creation in this matter, but do you know what he has been doing?"
Jakob was in a good position. Mogg was not one to be good at fighting, and Y-K9 was immobilized. Jakob can put the dog to sleep at any moment.

"What on Earth are you talking about!?" Mogg shouted, "And why on Earth are you attacking me!?" As he spoke he slid his hand into his lab coat, reaching his phone. Still in his pocket he opened it, dialing for Skyway Patrol... ((Really, we can't make it THAT easy))

Jakob waved his hand, while keeping his pistol pointed at the back of Y-K9's head.
"You don't know that your creation has taken part in unauthorized action against the XJ-9 and the possible murder of Doctor Wakeman, alongside other counterparts?"

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about!" Mogg shouted. As he spoke the sound of sirens filled the street. Skyway patrol would alive in just a few seconds.

Jakob cursed to himself.
"Well, he did. I'm going to have to take him in. I'll try to keep him intact. Be seeing you."
At that, he hoisted the incapacitated Y-K9 onto his bike and drove off, looking for a good place to lose Skyway Patrol... like a tunnel... or someplace underground.
He wanted to pass by Mezmer's while he was at it, let the others know he got some new information.
Doctor Mogg had no idea of his creation's actions.

"Okay, saw what happened. There's a junkyard nearby.....maybe you can squeeze in there for a bit." Alex said over the channel to Jakob.

"Alex, I can easily handle Skyway Patrol. Can't handle them when I've got baggage. Pick up Y-K9 in the junk yard, and I'll take care of the rest."
Jakob made a sharp turn and found himself navigating towers of garbage.
"Target can still talk, though. Get information when you have him."
