Clive ducked into the shadows and snuck toward the exit.  While he walked, he tired to take stock of the situation.  "OK, so a girl shows up this morning and assasinates some dude on an upper floor.  I follow her and meet Thoron, a guy who's looking to kill an annoyingly useful enemy of mine.  We go back to my office, the girl disappears, and three people randomly break into my office at once, two of whom definitely want to kill me for some unknown reason.  Meanwhile, my extensive security has gone completely off-line, my office is a total loss, and to top it off my scanner-keeps-showing-these-random-energy-dispersals!"

OOC: MSRR, that's you.

"Something bad is definitely going down.  Thoron said his employer is paying him 8,000 bars of adamantium laced beskar.  That's a rediculous amount of cash.  Someone with that kind of cash could be a good ally--I need to get in on his mission, see if I can score some brownie points for the assist."  As Clive heads through the maintenence tunnels, he continues to talk to himself.  "That Cyber Human could be a good ally, too--if I can convince him not to kill me.  He seems...different than the others.  He can't be a prototype--heck, I built the other prototypes.  But still...we're kindred, in a way.  We need to look out for each other.  Next time I see that guy, I'll make sure not to kill him."  And that may be sooner than he thinks, considering the tracer bugs I tossed into the mist.  Clive knew the Cyber Human was trying to follow him, but he also knew he'd quickly become lost in the winding accessways.  He was within earshot, but nowhere near close enough to figure out where he went.  Clive silently lifted the access cover above his head, climbed through it, and replaced it just as silently.  Now that he was out of danger, he allowed his suit to revert to its normal (and considerably less attention-getting) form and waited inconspicuously outside the Gray Goddess for Thoron to show up.  Hope he shows soon...Veej the Sleaze'll be leaving soon...
