Nothing.

Or at least, no Nathan. We found the place they appeared to have been holding him and the phone he called from. Obvious signs of fighting, and Psylocke found a couple of witnesses, one of whom claims he saw "a big-ass fiery bird". Psylocke was fairly sure that meant the Askani. It doesn't seem to have helped Nathan, in any case. Our other witness saw a military helicopter land over by the warehouse where the bulk of the fighting seems to have taken place. We removed some items from the warehouse. Medical supplies, mostly; there were some drugs there I've never heard of, and I thought our medical staff might want to take a look.

We did a number of aerial sweeps of the area before heading back. The helicopter went directly north, according to the witness, but we weren't able to find any signs of it. Psylocke's scans turned up nothing, either.

I don't know what to say. I imagine they'll be on their guard now; it won't be as easy for him to escape a second time. We may have lost our chance to get him back with his mind unaltered.

Drugs, drugs and more drugs...

Initial analysis of the drugs you picked up at the warehouse indicates most of them were tranquilisers, but there's a lot of other stuff there, not all of it known to me. Hank's running further diagnostics, but basically if they were feeding Nathan a cocktail of these, I'm surprised he could walk, let alone escape and form a coherent sentence. We're looking at some pretty heavy mind-altering substances - sodium pentothal, for one, and thorazine. It looks like they were prepping him for some major mind control, I'm afraid.
