"Someone who put a false tip within your very system! Now, as..."
Kiara whispers, "security auditors."
"As security auditors of this very station I realize how silly it is to give you contraband."
"INDEED BUT YOU'RE CUTE HAHA I'LL LET IT SLIDE HAHA." Oh she's fucking off her rocker now.
"O-okay?" Even he's picking up on how weirdly flirty she's being now which is obviously making him uncomfortable. "See, I don't like having my pals harassed for any reasons. And I think if you want to find out where you can get more of that to confiscate, you would tell me who told you that tip."
"After all! I think that's the least you can do for me! Look! It's not asking for much. A simple description is enough and, hey, do YOU want to waste your time bothering every person who exits that train? I don't think so, especially with how understaffed you seem!"
The guard considers it for a moment before agreeing to be your stool pigeon. "WELL. OKAY. THAT MAKES SENSE. THEY CAME BY YESTERDAY; MOSTLY ONLY A SKELETON CREW DURING NIGHT TIME WHEN PRODUCITVITY IS LOW."
"GROUP OF FOUR PEOPLE APPROACHED, ALL ADORNED IN SHADES OF BLACK AND RED. COULDN'T REALLY MAKE OUT THEIR FACES BECAUSE <span class="mu-b">ALL LOOKED THE EXACT SAME TO ME.</span>" Huh. You've seen people with no face and people with censored faces but the same face? "SCAR RUNNING DOWN THEIR LEFT EYE, BUSHY MUSTACHES, SCRAGGLY BEARDS."
"wait, Black and Red?" That catches Benjamin's interest. "Could've sworn I recognize that pattern from somewher-" The gears are turning in his head. "Wait hold on, The Ace-"
"ANYWHO. THEY TOLD US THAT ON BEHALF OF THEIR ESTEEMD GROUP-" She continues without letting him finish his sentence. "THAT A LOT OF IMPOSTERS AND FRAUDS WOULD BE TRAVELLING THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT OTHER STATIONS ACROSS VARIOUS DISTRICTS TO WARN OF THESE IMPOSTERS."
"Did they say who they were working for?"
"IT WAS LATE, MY MEMORY'S A BIT FOGGY. ALL I KNOW IS THAT THEY MENTIONED <span class="mu-b">SOME MEN IN SHINY UNIFORMS AND TWO CORPORATE FAMILIES, ONE E-CORP AND ONE A-CORP.</span>" Hm.
You have a decent idea who is behind the men in Shiny and Checkered uniforms but A and E-Corp? You went to A-Corp to deal with an anomaly and you did the whole X/E/Q-Corp alliance but that's about it.
"Thank you for your time, miss." Kiara gestures at her to let you three behind the counter. The guard moves to unlock the security door to allow you behind. While you wait you take a moment to mind scan the area around you. It's mostly empty but you can't be sure; camo tech does exist.
>33!
Even with this particular section being as empty as it is, the general mental noise throughout the whole station makes it hard to filter out anything in specific yet with a bit of focus, you detect some voices of interest.
<<span class="mu-b">"Not sure if I have a clean line of fire with her. Can't afford to not land a killing shot."</span>>
<<span class="mu-b">"Shit. Foxtrot sent his top goon here. We need to warn the others."</span>>
