"Giles!" Jocasta said excitedly. "You wouldn't believe what we've found out. Did you know that during the Inquisition, the Council had to have the slayer rescue the high priestess of the coven from the stake? It was after that they moved the coven to Devon and magical shields were erected around the shire to keep out the notice of the secular and ecclesiastical authorities."
"How fascinating," Giles said sincerely before pausing and frowning. "Unfortunately, we must put the magic project on hold for the time being."
"What?" Jocasta exclaimed. "No! Why?"
"I received a call from my brother Alan," Giles said. "He said there was a vampire attack in his sector of the ISS."
"Impossible!" Jocasta said. "There's gotta be some mistake. Not that I doubt Alan, 'cause you don't get to be the AC's administrator of the space station by being stupid, but…there has never been a demon in space, Giles."
"I'm afraid the evidence is quite clear," Giles stated, handing Jocasta a data pad. "The autopsy report."
Jocasta scanned the report. "The victim had been turned," she noted grimly.
"Yes," Giles said. "And Alan said there has been a rash of missing person reports recently."
"They're building a nest," Willow interjected helpfully.
