Trouble strikes almost immediately. As you head downstairs and squeeze past several chatting neighbors in the lobby, you spy several robots out front. Alarm bells ring in your head, as you watch them collecting metadata snippets from them. Are they going door to door? No, they don't seem to be entering the building. Maybe this is just a random search, and they aren't here because they have any kind of lead on you.

>Activate an Optical Camouflage app. It's a rare piece of tech, because the system is insistent on user models being visible and properly rendered. It'll consume one valuable use, but allow you to get out without any issue, whichever way you go.
>Turn on your c1oak, and then book it through the rear exit. It's a far cheaper method, but being unscannable is going to draw attention from them if they spot you. It's like a big sign that says 'I'm up to something', and could draw surveillance immediately.
>Go out the back door without using any .apps. You don't know if there are servitors in the other direction, so this path is up to pure luck. Having no active .apps means that you're just like any other citizen, and walking out onto the street isn't a suspicious act. The downside is that if one sees you, it'll be too late to activate an .app and avoid questioning.
