"Oh, you explained it perfectly!" The professor said, his mind racing with excitement and ideas. A device, that allowed you to go from one place to another?! And perhaps into other universes. Just think of all the schemes and heists who could pull off, with that kind of technology. Whole new worlds, filled with treasures and valuables unlike any, back on his town of London. And if it could be refined but a little, it could allow him (and others) to travel inside of buildings, vaults and armories, and leave before anyone could stop him. His mind as gitty with excitement. Maybe Negaduck, could be a worthy addition after all.… "Do you need any help, with that wondrous device of yours?" Negaduck ponders for a moment, given Ratigan’s small status, he can get around undetected for the most part. Yes, maybe there’s something he could do for Negaduck. “I suppose I could use a little help with this project of mine. Now there are some parts I do need gathering. You’re familiar with that Varian alchemist? Maybe he wouldn’t mind if he would loan his some metal parts. Now I need to figure how to acquire electricity.” Negaduck told Ratigan about possibly asking Varian for some metal parts and who knows, might even have another pun working on his teleporter. Just as Negaduck gets off the sofa, something crystal shaped caught his eye. (OOC: Let’s see say Mozenrath accidentally dropped the crystal of Ix and now it’s in Negaduck’s hands currently. At least until Mozenrath noticed he lost the crystal.) [OOC: Ooh, I like that! I can definitely make that into a plot thread later! In the future, could you shoot me a PM or talk in the Planning thread before you make a decision involving Moz's actions? But this one is totally cool because it's gonna lead to fun stuff on my end.]

He was currently on rather good terms with the young Alchemist, so it shouldn't be too much trouble convincing him, to lend him some parts. Ordinarily he would have simply stolen them, but considering his current stature among the taller and stronger humans, he didn't want to get into trouble, this early into his residence. Besides, given the boy's enthusiasm about Sykes car & Mozenrath's magic, the boy might even jump at the opportunity, to be in charge of something like this. "I shall locate him, as soon as…" before Ratigan could finish, he noticed Negaduck's sudden interest an in the distance. As he turned to where the duck was looking, he saw the brightly colored crystal, with some very sharp ends. His eyes glittered at the thought of the value in such an item, but he doubted Crystal like that would just be lying around, without being more than it seemed to be. (OOC: Will edit this comment later depending on if Sykes gives Clayton a mission or not)
Upon his conversation with Sykes, Clayton ventured through the archives, wanting to learn information about these 'thirdacs' Mozenrath mentioned...Upon arriving there, he noticed what appeared to be a rat and a duck meddling around. He grabbed his gun and shot upwards "What is happening here?!"

"Gah!" the shot was enough, to shock Ratigan. He had been so preoccupied with the crystal, that he had hardly noticed the new human entering. The one, currently holding a smoking gun and looking rather cross at the moment. After a few seconds, of recovering from his shock, the mouse collected himself and responded, though quite crossly: "My good fellow! You can't just go about shooting your guns, just for attention!!! You could have killed someone with that thing!"

Pheraps they were higher ranking ones? That wouldn´t explain his way of talking...The best course of action would be knowing what were they or how did they talked "My apologies, I assumed you were goons meddling in other affairs...I couldn´t help but...notice your accent"

Otherwise, I don't know if I'd be so curious," Ratigan said with an annoyed hoof. Though, now that the man had mentioned it, and that Ratigan had calmed down, the professor noticed the man's accent as well. A fellow Englishman eh? After all the sorcerers, talking ducks & lions he had met so far, this was a rather nice turn. "Aww yes, I can hear it with you as well. It's good to see another cultured brit amongst us. Other than the lion, of course."

"There is a talking lion as well?" Had he not been informed, he would have likely shot at it upon encountering it...The man in persian robes had assumed they wouldn´t need a hunter, but if a lion was here, it means he died either at the hands of a more skilled hunter (which was unlikely because he felt if such was the case, said hunter would have been summoned here instead) or...another animal...One he could clearly shot at.
"Oh right, where are my maners? My name is Clayton"

"Professor Ratigan," He introduced himself, his tone changed since the initial encounter. "And judging by your clothes and choice of weaponry, I'm assuming you are a hunter of sorts?"

Clayton asked, he assumed the rodent was more than a mere academic judging that he was in the same place than these sorcerers or criminals.

"Well, mostly I'm here, because Maleficent deemed me worthy enough to be amongst her troop," Ratigan replied, which wasn't a lie. He had been brought her by Maleficent's spell, to bring worthy villains. "But, if you're referring to skills, I would like to believe, it's my masterful intellect, cunning planning and convenient size."

Negaduck reaches down bringing up the Crystal of Ix, routine the crystal around to give a quick analysis, and then place the crystal into one of his inner coat pouches. “Sucks to be the poor sap dropping something valuable like this. You know what they say; “finders keepers, loser are losers.”
As Negaduck was just about leaving for acquire parts for his teleporter project, another hunter came into the Archive and pointing his shotgun towards Negaduck. “Woah easy there, shooter! There’s no need to be waving that gun around. Now who are you and what brings you over here?”

"Interesting" He scratched his chin, Ratigan apparently thought that Maleficent brought him willingly and not at random. Pheraps its a mix of both? The portals had not summoned any 'pure soul' yet, but it was clear that Maleficent didn´t picked each of them specifically. As for his set of skills, Clayton was willing to believe him, as once again, most of the ones he had met so far had something in common...Dealing with them would spell death for an average person.
He wasnt sure wether Ratigan was the exception or not, but one thing was clear...To be here, he definitively had to be deemed dangerous in his homeworld, which peaked Clayton´s curiosity "Though I assume that if you were brought here, you must have commited an act that would be deemed henious to someone, in my case it was ilegal hunting."

"Ah, a criminal mind, there were a few of those were I came from back in my youth...They were stopped by a medling thin detective from Baker Street though" In an instant, Ratigan's jolly nature flipped into fury. "OH, I know whom you speak. And while, I've managed to avoid the notice of the infamous Mr. Holmes…I have my own, meddling detective! That DAMN Basil of Baker Street! That sniveling pest, has been at my feet as far back, as I can remember. Always trying to undermine me and foil my machinations!!!" Ratigan growled, at the thought of his nemesis. "Why he even foiled, my greatest scheme yet! Months and planing and careful work, GONE DOWN THE DRAIN! WHY IF I EVER SEE HIM AGAIN, I'LL…" Ratigan stopped himself. He soon calmed down and tried his best to resume his calm demeanor. "Apologises for the outburst. I'm still recovering from a rather…unpleasant memory."

"But once again, thats why we are here, to take what its ours...Revenge against those people who dont know better than to mind their own business included"
