The night was dark and dreary, as nights in London tended to be, especially in autumn. In a heavily guarded mansion, a paramilitary group was checking over its various weapons. Many of the soldiers were praying, a habit one tended to get into when one worked in an organization such as the Hellsing Institute.

Upstairs, the elite of the organization were gathering for orders. Said elite were made up of one Pip Bernadotte, A butler by the name of Walter C. Dornez, a No Life King (bound) by the name of Alucard, and one Seras Victoria, who was only just arriving.

Speaking of which, her arrival was…off. Seras walked into the room, slightly off kilter. She didn't dare try phasing through the walls in her state.

Noticing his child's predicament, Alucard started to laugh, only to be cut off by a bullet Integra sent his way. He quickly got himself together enough to speak without laughing, "Night has fallen, my Master – what are we doing tonight?"

"The same thing as every night, Alucard – Try to take over the world," she intoned in a solemn tone. Seras blinked. She couldn't possibly ha heard right. " Er, what was that Sir Hellsing? I'm not sure I heard you right."

"I said 'Search and Destroy'" Integra said in an irritated tone. "The same as every night since the beginning of Hellsing Institute. Did I stutter, Miss Victoria?"

"No, Sir Hellsing." Seras said, feeling relieved. As she left, Seras vowed that she would never drink from a stoner again, no matter what her master threatened to do to her!
