Lotus looks across the room, and narrows her eyes. If this is a set-up, there's no doubt that someone like Aya would be involved. Just her luck.

"You two want to find a back door?" She says, smiling. "I can give them the run around and distract them for a bit." She's already forgetting about the MacGuffin cuffed to her wrist.

Lotus has her pistol out now. It's Warren, no one really blinks at that. The rain bothers her a bit, but not that much, a little water won't mess with the cybernetics.

"We could take the train. It's not far. But then we'll be cramped in a box full of people with Aya." She says, scanning the street. "We used to roll in the same circles. Pretty goal-minded, doesn't really mind collateral damage. Let's not risk that."

Instead, she does the rational thing: rush through the electrobikers in the middle of the stampede to steal one of their rides. Even with all of the confusion, there's a biker that's still minding the rides for the others.

She just walks up to one of the empty bikes, no big deal. She then stares at the biker, pistol at the ready, as if daring them to stop her.

Lotus winces slightly at the explosion, until her artificial ears adjust to balance the noise levels in her head. It's a good trap, though. Knocks out the bikers real nice. They're not gonna reach for this shiny red bike anytime soon.

Aya and her friend's still coming, though. Lotus shrugs and points at the assassins' general direction with Wynona. Her thumb clicks a switch at the side of her custom pistol.

The gun screeches in three-round bursts, launching gauss rounds in sub-sonic speeds. It sounds kind of terrifying, really. But she's not out to actually hit them, but keep enough bullets in the air to keep them back. It seems to be working.

"I have a thought." Lotus says, casually wrenching the cuff from her wrist, the sound of metal bending and breaking apart as if it was brittle all along. "We open it. Next to an airlock. While wearing a hardsuit."

Lotus whistles at the sight of it.

"That's what you call, in business parlance, something that will get us hunted and killed. How soon can we find another buyer?"

"I mean, the entire job was handing it over to someone and getting paid for it."

Watching Kinase storm off with her prize, Lotus pulls off her breathing mask and decides not to push the point further. Might as well see where this takes them.

"Okay, so we let her study this thing. There's still a bunch of people coming after us for it, including someone I know very personally. We need to lay low, at least."

No one knows Aya as much as Lotus does. She's not going to stop for what she wants, especially if it's for a mysterious glowing box of death. So Lotus goes out of her way to pull up some old friends from the assassin days, people good enough to mask a trail. At the same time, she's looking at more electrobikes to add to the collection, since it might be useful to them as smugglers to get cool rides on the ground.

"Alright."

Lotus rolls in with a large cart, used for moving supplies and food around. It's more than big enough to fit Calliope, though Lotus has also filled in some stuff she's nabbed from the kitchen to give it some weight and noise.

"Sorry, you'll need to stay in the dark again. Hop inside." She says, pulling up the cloth that's covering the cart. "We're get you past security."

Lotus does the same, perhaps even draws her pistol even faster.

"Don't even think about it." She shouts, pointing Wynona at the hoods. "Let her go and back away."

"How did we piss these guys off?"

Lotus twists around to face the larger twist, firing her pistol from the hip like goddamn cowboy. She's hoping to disable the arm swinging that club.
