priam agrees with the plan and beams up a smile on @kingsley . he unfixes the ponytail as he backtracks their way to where they met the said scientist .

luck is on their side as priam immediately spots the said personnel. trusting that Goro Shimizu is following him, he bumps onto the scientist 'accidentally'. he turns to priam, and that is where he notices where it was. hanging on a strap around his neck, priam busies the personnel with small talk. his hands motion to it inconspicuously, hoping the other rocket picks up his signs.

the scientist indulges priam, leaving his attention away from --

-- get interrupted by priam just as he was about to turn around.

hands on the scientist's shoulders he'd give him the friendly goodbye and a whisper of a half-truth to ease the man's unease. 'tell lucas a friend wanted to surprise him but he got lost,' he whispers in a volume inaudible to everyone around. Lucas Lane should be able to cover for him, even if it's unintentional. the moment he turns to his shoulder, priam slides the defective key card from his hand on the scientist's shoulder to the chest pocket of his lab coat.

this was a messy switch. quite obvious too should he realize it later. maybe he'll have to set up a meetup with the head scientist later to give him an alibi. he gives the scientist a pat on the back, going the opposite way as the scientist. he and Goro Shimizu goes back, where they meet --

not? they were. that was quite the sloppy work, though. they'd need to be appropriately reprimanded later, or a training course needed to be given. that would be something to discuss later.

patting Goro Shimizu 's head, cadis smiled, "thank you for your hard work." priam and kingsley, too, received the same reward. with that, he'd slide the card. once the door opened, inside, there were people hard at work. something was strange, the lab they were within did not look secretive. it looked too lax security-wise. upon entry, a scientist would inquiry the group if they needed something.

answering the question brought a crucial point for them. it was already suspicious enough that they were aimlessly wandering the halls of the league hq, but it was made worse by having them do it in a group.

he says nothing and lets the others improvise for him. having the youngest of the bunch speak was going to get them unwarranted doubt. he sticks to @kingsley , staring him in the eye and steers his sight away from the group as soon as eye contact was established. he wonders if he gets his point.

they'd have to do this after --

...until the janiter (jack wainwright ) spawned onto the scene. "just showing them where the magic happens. isn't this beautiful?" cadis skimmed the area. viewing the research lab, he noticed that this wasn't the place. this wasn't what they were looking for.


he'd turn to the group, "please spread out and converse with the researchers. be sure to ask all your questions for we'll be moving onward to the next location." cadis made sure that they were to inquiry about all that was needed. especially about the whereabouts of the parts recovered by the league from the beast they were in search of. it's why they were here after all.

with a simple gaze toward all of them, he said, with a powerful silence, get to work. now...

-- the rest of the group dispersed.

intel gathering was not an area of expertise that priam has probed into deeply, but something he can do nonetheless. he speaks to one of the people working, explaining their supposed reason as to why they're here, and asks what he was doing. he gets an answer unrelated to what they were looking for unfortunately.

he gives him a quick thanks before he takes a step back to watch --
