[Faye thankfully knows how to retrace her steps and heads back to the back door (navigate 15). Catching sight of Emma, she holds up the clipboard and hands it over to let the other woman look through it. She'll even shine her cell phone light down to help. Look at her team playering.]

[ what the manifest contains is rather chilling. or would be more chilling if faye and emma knew more about science but they know ENOUGH to recognize after a moment that this is some kind of chemical warfare shit. ]

Faye, this - [ she skims the pages, confused but processing enough to know it's seriously fucking bad news. ] This is bioterrorism. [ and MORE than enough to depose the mayor, which emma is ... now seriously reconsidering. because having a mayor willing to commit what's essentially genocide really trumps the threat to their client's life if he gets vengeful doesn't it??? she swallows her shock and hastily snaps pictures of the pages with her phone, but she's fumbling. ] Maybe we should just take the papers with us. Set them back a few days, we don't know, it could keep them from shipping some of this out before we can talk him down.

My guess is we might stall them a day but they probably have a digital copy. And if those guards come to and talk about someone knocking them out? He's going to move up his plans. Whatever we're going to do, we need to do it now.

Yeah. [ she takes a breath and starts to snap pictures of the pages with her phone, shaking it off. it's just confirmation of what they already knew - some kind of attack on shadowkind in the city. but talking about it in abstract is different than seeing it. ] All right. Drop that back where you found it. [ she shoves her phone into her pocket. ] Let's get out of here. Where the hell is Christos?

[reallywicked]

Being smug and annoying somewhere? It wasn't my turn to watch him. [She hopes it's never her turn. Taking the clipboard, Faye goes to make her way to drop the manifest back off where she found it.]

[everyredcent]

[ he's... right behind you actually. but with a 44 move silently and a 35 hide, you probably didn't notice that. he swishes his cloak to conceal the line of knives at his belt as he sheathes one. ] I'm surprised the entire block didn't hear you both. Let's go.

[ THANKS ASSHOLE. emma looks markedly annoyed for a moment, but simply turns to exit the warehouse without a word, because YOU AREN'T WORTH IT DAMMIT. ]

[reallywicked]

[After returning from doing HER DAMN JOB, THANKS... Faye just rolls her eyes at Chrstos' remarks and heads out with Emma.]

[everyredcent]

[ as they get in the car, christos checks the phones, where there's no word yet from the other group ] Let's hope they haven't fouled everything up on their end, at least.

[reallywicked]

Should we wait until they check in or head their way or..? [She has not taken it upon herself to just text Lila... yet. For all she knows, that may somehow blow their part of the mission. Being cautious and caring is hard though. ugh.]

[uncurse]

Back to the hotel. If they needed help, we'd know by now. [ lila would have found a way. emma starts the car and tosses her phone back to faye. ] We'll need to print out these photos and the phone records when we get there anyway. [ drive 18. ]
