Professor Nick Cutter

"Oh this is is brilliant," Cutter breathed as he looked at the device Connor had, "this is definitely going to help as more anomalies appear and we can get that data on them, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing these in action," he grinned at Connor.

From:

"Thanks, it's a compact version of the bigger handheld I've been using to get the data for us. It will take the key readings we need and will record about an hours worth of data in one go." Connor beamed proudly, he was really proud of this little device he had created. "Best readings are of course if it's pointed right at the anomaly but it is small enough and there's a clip on it so someone can wear it and it can gather data while someone like Becker patrols around an anomaly location or while Abby or someone else is in the area around an anomaly."

From:

Cutter smiled at seeing how proud Connor looked at his device, "well after we get back to the anomaly prediction model we should be able to see if we can predict another anomaly and you should be able to test out your new device then," he promised.

From:

"Ya know, almost makes me wish for an anomaly so we could test it all out and see how it works," Connor said with a laugh as he fiddled with the device a little, checking the battery supply and all.

From:

Cutter laughed at that, "well its been a week since our last anomaly, we're surely due for another one," he looked up as he said that, almost half expecting the sirens to start blaring then since that was usually how their luck went with these things.

From:

You went and had to jinx it didn't you Cutter? Cuz right then the alarm for the detector Hub went off. Though judging by the smile on Connor's face he was thrilled.

"Yes! Time to test these babies out!" he said as he grabbed the handhelds and his bag with his gear.

From:

"I wonder what anomaly it will be this time?" Cutter laughed at Connor's expression as he went to start grabbing his own gear, "we should also get Sarah, she can get some field experience as well,"

Because this was definitely the best time for Sarah to get some field experience, Becker was going to love this.

From:

"Alright, let's go!" Connor said as he pulled out his phone to give Sarah a call over in the lab as they headed out to meet Becker in the parking garage.

"Sarah, grab your stuff. Yeah the anomaly. You're coming with us for this one. Meet you in the parking garage."

Oh yes Becker was so going to love this....

From:

"Right behind you," Cutter grinned as he followed Connor to the parking carriage, "any idea on where the new anomaly is located?" he asked as they walked over.

From:

Once he had hung up the phone Connor looked at the handheld and studied it for a moment. "It's still trying to triangulate the location. Looks like it's somewhere outside London city limits though so that's good at least."

Connor kept glancing down at the handheld as they arrived at the parking garage and met up with the rest of the team.

From:

"Well that's definitely a good thing if it's outside the city, hopefully there's less people around," Cutter said as they entered the garage, Sarah was already there with her gear and she was practically beaming.

"I can't believe I get to go on my first official field assignment," she grinned.

From:

Becker and a few of his men arrived a moment later. "Alright, do we have a location for the anomaly yet? Where are we...."

He trailed off when he looked from Cutter and Connor and realized Sarah was there with them.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, a little more coldly than he had probably intended to.

From:

"And hello to you too," Sarah said with a roll of her eyes, "I'm coming along, this is my first field assignment isn't this great," she said excitedly.

From:

"I'm aware it's your first field assignment," Becker said somewhat annoyed. "That was why I was wondering why you were tagging along for this one."

"We... we need her to help us get data on the anomaly" Connor offered, looking from Becker to Sarah. "We need her to come with us."

From:

"Besides I can't get any experience if I don't go out in the field," Sarah pointed out, "I'll stay out of the way, collect the data on the anomaly, I'm helping work on the anomaly prediction model after all," she added.

From:

"Fine. But you do as we say when we say understand? These things are dangerous." Becker looked around at Connor and Cutter and gave them a bit of a 'you brought her you keep her under control' look then started grabbing the bags and getting them into the truck.

"Alright lets go. Connor give me the coordinates to this thing so we know where we are heading" Becker said as he climbed into the truck and started off as soon as everyone was in and Connor read off the destination.

From:

"Alright," Sarah said excitedly as she got in the front seat next to Becker, she was determined to eventually win him over,

"So when we're at the site, we'll need you to use one of Connor's devices to help gather information on the anomaly, it will help us correlate the data and can improve the mapping of the anomalies on the model," Cutter told her as they drove to the site.

From:

Connor nodded and started going over the basics controls as he handed Sarah her device. He smiles proudly as he went over all the features.

"Looks like the coordinates are at the airport" Becker said once the destination came up. " Us that a good thing or a bad thing?" he asked as he looked back at Cutter.

From:

"Well if we're lucky and there's no scheduled arrivals or departures, it will be a good thing," Cutter considered, "but if there's still people around, we're going to have to clear them before we can work on the data collection and securing the site,"

From:

"Well let's hope for once theres an easier job ahead of us this time" Becker said as he turned onto the side street and continued on towards the airport.

"Any idea on what we are looking at as far as creature incursions Connor? We still have to be at the anomaly for that device of yours to work right?"

"Yeah... I don't have a remote network set up for it yet" Connor said apologetically.

From:

Cutter nodded, "once we have an idea of what anomaly we're working with, we'll be able to get the data and then we can work on securing the anomaly," he added, "hopefully this time we won't have that many people around and we can just get straight to the data collection,"

From:

"Well we can hope it works that way. Cuz we have about ten minutes till we get there so let's be ready to get going when we pull in ok?"

Becker kept his eyes on the road and focused ahead though did glance over to Sarah now and then.

From:

Sarah was going over all the controls of the device Connor had given her, she gave a small shy smile at Becker as he looked over at her, "don't worry I'll be ready," she told him, "I've memorised how the controls work," she added confidently.

From:

Connor looked over at Cutter and nodded. "We'll be ready Becker. We'll have this done in no time and we can be back at the ARC and have a relaxing rest of the day."

And that was not at all going to come back and bite them all.
