Case File 1X01A -

It wasn't hard to set up my extended leave with the department when the coordinates came through. I was still technically on leave due to Dad's murder investigation still being considered 'open' and that I was 'too emotionally connected to the case'. Captain told me to use up my vacation time or turn in the badge if I couldn't stay away. I was undecided until Moira showed up at my place with a bottle of wine and a smirk on her face; it'd be nice to get away and unwind with her.

We met at a Family Reunion for the Tuatha a few months back. The Irish are big on family and the Tuatha (our gods) even more so; plus it's a way for the Gods to show off their Scions and for us to make contacts - anyways. Moira's a daughter of the Dagda and bumped into me when I ducked away Mother's latest attempt to pit me against one of Lugh's daughters to asses my capabilities. 

Back to the present. After all was said and done, she mentioned that her father had dropped by earlier with some rambling task that she thought had to do with the missing towns cropping up over the world. I figured it was good sport. Vacation in the mountains, pretty girl on my arm, and I'd more than likely get to stab something. So we headed out to the cabin and while I packed just enough to survive, Moira brought the entire  city of New York's weaponary with her. ... ok, so she also remembered my swords (hey, I spent my life training to use a gun -- not my fault I don't remember to carry blades with me everywhere.)

Two other Scions were there already. A quiet gal who looked Japanese and a paranoid lass who probably had good reason to fear cameras. Whatever, I'm not on duty so I don't judge. Plus, once you become divine, you're sorta above mortal law. We did the bed arrangements - meaning that there's a spare room if someone wants to designate a storage closet - and the paranoid girl ... Aren did a bone prophecy while I checked maps.

Right away I knew what we were up against here. Malformed giants and bright ones? That's Tuatha Training 101: How to Spot Your Formorian Cousins. The All-Father of Darkness gave me pause though, but we'll probably figure that out later. Right, so that done and our course set - we headed into town...

Or the crater of the town because that was all that was left. I realized this was Mother's idea of a test because none of us were survival nuts and here we are in the middle of Montana in the winter. Whatever, I'll kick ass and she can brag about it to Lugh. Win/win for the Morrigan. Anyways - found tracks heading off ... Moira whined about driving the jeep because she wore heels instead of boots ... I gave in -- the usual stuff.

Up until the Giant stabbed the jeep with a spear biger than me. Yeah, see, jeep engines make noise. Noise breaks Stealth and Moira will not hear the end of my 'I told you so' for a while. I'll get back to what happened later, later. I need to tell her 'I told you so' again.
