You had more than enough CONVERSATIONAL LEVERAGE for him to immediately SPUTTER OUT the little else he knew.
“I don’t know!” he squeaked, shuffling further into the CORRIDOR ELBOW. “I heard about them breaking in! Not anything about them breaking out! I figured that the bazaar master did something... something awful to them!”
You believed him; a WEEDY PENCIL-PUSHER like that wouldn’t likely be able to LIE TO YOUR FACE. If nothing else, your interest in this BURGLAR gave you even more reason to go down this DELIVERY CHUTE.
The broker lead you and your posse down the GARISH HALLWAYS of the BROKER’S LODGE; the walls were decorated with EXPENSIVE BUT TASTELESS artwork, and all manner of cracks in the ANCIENT CONCRETE had been plastered over with CAMPY WALLPAPER. Your FEZ still provided ample disguise as you shuffled past other businessmen; a servile meatman was not uncommon among the SLUDGE-RICH, so few passersby felt the need to bother you.
“J-Just on our way to... t-to do some business!” your meatman would say, assuringly; his polymer skin peeled back into a TERRIBLE SMILE.
“Uh, here! We’re here!” the broker said, stopping in front of a rather small FULLERENE STEEL DOOR. Along its edges bubbled a mass of sickly brown MEAT, forming a perfect seal between the DOOR and FRAME. “The bazaar master had a flesh-lock installed a while ago... the chute only opens for those given, uh, authorization.”
The broker GRIMACED at you. You still had a KNIFE in hand, and he seemed QUITE WORRIED about DISAPPOINTING you. “B-But... but!” he interjected, just as your fingers constricted around the knife’s handle. “A biohacker c-could open it! Or if you, um, got the eyeball from someone authorized! I think I-Inquisitor Holymoat does...! And... and a few of the Sludgemasters!”
You were FAR FROM PLEASED by the development, but you were still CLOSER THAN BEFORE.
