The feeds sprung into existence once again as soon as the woman made clear she was bound to leave. He glanced between them ever so briefly, but there was a meeting to conclude.
"I think I will," he said, sliding the data pad a little closer before pulling it from the table and tucking it under his arm. He wouldn't be using it for anything important--at least not without a thorough check of its systems--but it might be of minor service as far as the upcoming gathering was concerned. Her offer of a ride was an odd one; he would not have expected the extension of such a courtesy from one he had only just met, especially one with a dynamic such as she. Perhaps, at some other time with some other objective, he would have taken the offer. Yet, for now, there was no point in leaving the conference center.
He began to form the first portion of "I think I'll manage," but something caught his attention and stifled his movement toward the conference room door. A large, black box appeared on several feeds, looming like a monolith above the spiders. His intended phrase instead became "hold on a moment," and he allowed himself to lapse back into his prior business.
"Recon, in. What is that?"
"Ninety percent sure it's a data recorder; it matches up pretty well with what we've seen them use before, we only just found it."
"Can you get it out of there?"
"I mean...out of here, yeah, maybe, but out in the open we'd have something of a problem."
Recon froze. A large, bulky, box of a thing wouldn't get far in an open plaza, especially if someone else was looking for it. There was practically no way to sneak something like that out, not without the risk of someone else catching up. He needed to forego subtlety. He needed something that could get that thing out quickly. Something with the speed to get the hell out of there, regardless of terrain. Something like...
"Start moving it. Down, and out. Don't use open spaces. Cut through if you have to."
He turned back to the woman. "Yes. I do. And I'll do you one better." He nodded his head toward the window. "Tesseract has been experimenting on enough Astras to develop a rating scale, and I have a hunch that those tests, along with the machinery they put on display today, are related to this facility of yours." The exterior of his helmet flicked to life, displaying footage of the interior explosion, along with a zoom on the small, distinct crystal left lying in the aftermath, sped for time. "The data from their first test is in a black box in the testing chamber down in the plaza, and so are several levels of civil security, so if you're in a hurry to leave, I suggest you don't quite yet."
He held out his hand. "Unless you're willing to appear out in the open to get that box, I need you to take me to the conference center's central ventilation system. Then, I need you to take me someplace with a window. How quickly can you teleport?"
