Hyun-Ae There's a thump as Hyun-Ae's forehead makes contact with the door window. She squints as she scans the inside of the room. Just Cain. Fun. She languidly pushes the door open and trudges inside. "gently caress me, man." Hyun-Ae slumps into one of the chairs and lazily raises her scotch glass to her colleague. "Whatup."

Hyun-Ae "Strange." Hyun-Ae spins around in her chair, shrugging. "Doesn't look like anyone's shooting at me right now. I think that means I'm not on duty yet, dude." She looks to the donut, then to Cain, then her drink. She sighs and waves him towards the DD machine without looking. "Whatever. Look, just get me the pills. Please."

She opens up the packet of pills, taking a moment to regard the Sober-Up! logo with great distaste. "Cheers." She taps her glass on the table, throws back the pills, slams down the rest of her scotch, and slides the glass away from her. Hyun-Ae straightens up in her chair and exhales. "Whoo, boy.

Hyun-Ae "Sweet." If only it were likely to be such a simple case. With a wave of her hand, Hyun-Ae dismisses the data cluttering her glasses. "I vote for a field trip. I'll handle the paperwork. Kinda my thing." She lazily throws out a pair of hand signs like a little fanfare. "Insurance claims, inventory, loss analysis, critique report, whatever. All that stuff's easier to handle on-site.

A few waves of her hand clear away a space so that she can watch the rest of her team with one eye. "I'mma run a diagnostic and get the cameras back up so we don't walk into a fire or whatever, aight?" A hand signal causes an avalanche white text to stream down her glasses. She throws her arms up behind her head and leans back into her seat. "Ya'll go ahead and do your thing." Systems roll to try and get the security system back up and the audible alarms off.

What whaaaaat. ] She looks back at her display just in time to catch an eyeful of Basilisk patterns, which forces her to squint and remove her glasses momentarily. [ Be advised: Basilisk Mandala off the main stairwell into Subbasement B. ] Her mechanical minions are promptly redirected away from the trap and back towards the rest of the group. As the first roomba in the stack approaches the wall of foam, its vacuum kicks on and begins to clear the way. Several more fall into line behind it. Meanwhile, Hyun-Ae dials up one of her old shops.

[ Holy f - hold tight, got a phone call. ] While her statement may be bafflingly inappropriate to everyone else, the static-filled voice on the other end had a skill set that was quite relevant to the situation. "Yo Heph, uh... Hi, yeah, doing good. I guess. ... Look, I ain't got time right now. Bringing a feed up. I was calling about a Mandala, but things changed. Need some bomb diffusing advice. We can talk later." One of the roombas drives towards the device at her command. An overlay with instructions appears over her camera feed. [ Sorry, I'm back. Got some advice on the line.

She reaches forwards slowly, her hand motions mapped to the tiny manipulator arms extending out of the roomba. All the best help in the world didn't really lessen the fact that she, a corporate pencil pusher, was currently disarming her first bomb in close proximity to her coworkers. [ Uh... Yo, ya'll think we should maybe move away from this thing? Y'know, a little. Just saying. Or not. Whatever. We got good life insurance. 'Sall good.

[ In the mean time, I'm gonna skip the part where I dig through tech documents and just assume the tunnel ain't on any documentation. I mean, look. That ain't up to no safety code I ever saw. ] Not that safety code ever meant anything to her besides a shrunken profit margin, of course. Hyun-Ae kicks her feet up on the table with a relieved sigh. [ Ya'll feel free to make like Scooby Doo or whatever. I'll call the boss lady and let her know what's up. ] "Thanks, Heph." She scans the foam-filled space around her for any signs of her teammates.

Hyun-Ae FP: 6 Hyun-Ae produces a pack of menthol Marlboros and a bic lighter from a cargo pocket. "Sorry," she says, tapping one out and offering it to Ruud. "Probably not your type. All I got besides my e-cig." He accepts it with an indifferent shrug and holds it out for her to light. "I take it that you came down to inquire as to where we acquired one of your company's prototypes?" "I wasn't gonna say nothing in front of my coworkers - and technically it was never mine - but yeah, man. Enlighten me." He takes his first puff before speaking. "We were loaned the device so that we could make use of its D-Drive seeking feature. It greatly simplified the process of locating and arriving at the Mark III." "Didn't count on it frying all your electronics though, did you?" She chuckles. "I take it ya'll never got the tech manual." "A manual would have been most useful, yes. We were not originally planning on trapping ourselves within your building." He takes a long drag off the cigarette, shaking his head in frustration. "Care to explain why it behaves as it does?" "Hah, sure. The Gatecrasher project before my time, but I hear it was supposed to be a D-Drive seeking weapon. Y'know, to do stuff like teleport a bomb straight on top of one even if it wasn't running. Uller mothballed the project when they couldn't figure out how to stop it from wrecking the electronics inside the payload. Made it kinda useless. The thing also drew so much power that the bond lackeys figured it would be more cost and energy efficient to throw a pile of cruise missiles at the target the old fashioned way." She shrugs and shoots a finger gun at him. "Your turn." "We actually were in possession of two of the devices. The original intent was to use the second one in our escape," he says, massaging his forehead. "It is a pity that the devices do not seem capable of teleporting each other." "Woah, two?" She shoves the pack of cigarettes into his hand and starts for the door, waving over her shoulder. "That's all I needed, dude. Good luck with the trial or whatever." The devices are bad with electronics, have to be charged, and can't teleport one another!

Hyun-Ae's trying not to set off any red flags with the bean counters back at HQ, so she hired out a small, cheap air crew out of Neo Hong Kong that goes by the name Friendly Skies. It's an ironic name, of course, as all of the money they saved by flying a beater of an airframe went straight into an arsenal that appears to compose a little more than half of the VTOL's total weight. The pilot known as Little Wing is the leader of the rag tag group, and he seems to be exceptionally chill as compared to your standard mercenary badass. The other half of her budget went towards flying a specialist in from South Korea: an exceptionally dressed, spastic girl that seems far, far too eager to get to  But you know what they say about assumptions.
