Quoted By:
[MIMICRY MODULE] "HEY! BACK FROM MY LUNCH BREAK! THREE DUMBASSES ARE WAITING HERE. GO BOTHER THEM OR SOMETHING." It sounds like an AI mish-mash of the two security guards she heard.
It seems to work since the shutter opens up to reveal one of the Drone Guards. A girl this time given her monotone voice is slightly higher pitch. "HUH. WHERE'S JOAQUIN? ANYWAYS, LOOK, WE'RE CLOSED. DON'T YOU SEE THE SIGN?"
She shifts to look at Kiara with a sneer. "I SUPPOSE IF YOU'RE HERE TO DISPOSE OF YOUR TOY-"
[BIRD BRAINED CHARISMA] "We don't mean to impose or overstay our welcome. We're sorry for bothering you," That oddly deep voice he put on earlier is back in full voice. "My, is that a new Shell you got? Quite stylish I'd say."
You can't quite tell due to her lack of facial features and her monotone voice but is she...flustered? "OH. WHY YES, ACTUALLY. I ACTUALLY SAVED UP FOR IT OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS."
"I can see!" You have no idea what he's talking about and neither does Kiara. You assume he's just bullshitting. "The thicker layers, the faint sheen of sweat from functioning sweat glands. Trying to impress someone?"
"INDEED. NO ONE HAS NOTICED BESIDES YOU AND I WAS WORRIED IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY!"
"No, no, it looks good."
"WHY, THANKS. TELL YOU WHAT, I'LL TALK TO YOU GUYS." That seems to have opened up a line of communication with Security at least. She doesn't seem shady so maybe it's just those two that tried to stop Heathcliff. You take a moment to weigh your options.
You do notice a door behind the counter. Presumably it leads into SECURITY ONLY sections of the station.
Pick four.
>[KIARA ALLY] You might fight out what's going on with Kiara's ANALYZER MODULE if you could get behind that door. Pretend to be security auditors to be let inside. (AUTOPASS due to OVERHWHELMING RESTRAINT. Your bluff will work and your group will be allowed to explore inside, though you imagine you'll have to deal with the shady Security Guards.)
>[BIRD BRAINED CHARSIMA] "One of my friends has been blatantly harassed by someone; Someone who put a false tip within your very system!" Let Benjamin yap her head off. (MEDIUM CHARM DC: 21, rolling Benjamin's 6d6. Pass and you'd get a good lead on who's harassing Heathcliff and presumably other important corporate officials.)
>[PERSON OF INTEREST] "Why is this place so short staffed? Are other places around here this understaffed?" Try to pry into why barely anyone is working. Something's really off about all of this.
>[SEEKER OF THE CITY] You're a girl, she's a girl. Why not gossip? (You'll roll 4d100 to determine what she'll spill to you. You may also accept to roll a CHARM THRESHOLD check to add another 3d100, though you're unsure how hard it'll be.)
