Murray is walking on the Eden 16-B road, checking his handheld terminal from time to time.
Up high, two pairs of eyes—Valeria and Bazhi—are monitoring him from both sides.
Point A, target confirmed.
Point B, target confirmed.
Don't you find it a bit fishy?
Why?
If he knows he's being tracked, why would he look so defenseless?
You have a point. Run a scan.
Roger.
...
...I knew he's up to something.
Details?
It's a lure. The real deal is hiding in a corner and waiting for us.
Not a bad attempt, but unfortunately, I'm not your run-of-the-mill support Construct.
Well then. Plan B it is. I'll ambush from the blind spot on the left, and you go from the right.
Are we putting him down?
Let me get a confirmation first.
Valeria begins tinkering with her terminal to contact someone outside, but to no avail.
Can't get a signal.
Is Gestalt doing this?
Or our bad boy over there?
Both possible.
Then what? Do we still go all the way?
We can't get an ID on the kid right now. If he's an ally, and we're the backup...
We'll go for a non-lethal approach. But if push comes to shove, then we'll take him down.
We can chuck it on Commander Nikola. He gave the orders.
Never see you so slimy normally. Then let's go.
