There, he notes that it is a rather ‘seedy’ part of town, but mostly pretty slow right now. No ships are being unloaded at any of the nearby docks. There are a few dockworkers hanging around, pretty rough looking types, whom he can easily bypass without them ever being the wiser.The warehouse where Inspector Kastle has secured for tonight’s raid looks abandoned for the most part…Black Widow and Captain Britania head out together, asking around some of the more notorious locations within London, to see what they might turn up. After a short time, they do learn that two important facts… first that yes indeed, the Wrenching Crew is in town. They were seen at a pub that very morning on the Lower East Side, not far north of the docks. No one knows where they are now, but they do find the pubs locations. The other bit of info is that yes indeed something is spending some serious money around in the poorer parts of town, lining up various ‘talent’ for some big ‘job’. No one they speak to claims to have been offer any work, but it seems a lot of different criminal professions are being recruited and then laying low somewhere. Most everyone they speak with thinks that whomever is behind it is a foreigner(s), most likely Prussian or French.   Reading through numerous papers and periodicals, Justice gets a good overview of the Queen’s planned routes through London and sees that there are two or three locations that would be prime locations for an attack against her, where she is most exposed and where the most number of people might be able to see it happen. He also learns that various museums around town have been suffering a number of break-ins of late. Nothing seems to have been stolen except records? The reason this catches his eye at all is that Scotland Yard suspects that Men of Renowned may have been involved in most of these break-in… He also learns that the Wrenching Crew was working in Paris of late, and at first they were mostly robbing banks and such. They then started working as muscle for some of the seedier underworld bosses there it was believed. It is strongly suggested by one reporter, that the Crew was last in the employment of a notorious Norwegian smuggler by the name of Leonardo Laufeyson, but there are no follow-up stories as Justice finds that the reported died in a strange accident where he somehow froze to death in his flat, shortly after he wrote the story…</blockquote>
