Mission 1.3: Black Party Clean Up

Strange... Matsuki thinks. This doesn't look like any filter she has ever seen before. She makes a mental note to inquire about Dr Wu Kehui later.
She looks around the room and at the worker whether she can find the missing filter wafer. She also investigates the notes on the wafers. Maybe she can deduce which of the wafers is missing

It's been quite a while since Wolf had any success in relationships. The kind of people who didn't mind his intimidating appearance or gruff demeanor usually weren't the same kind of people who were looking for stability, and so most of his dalliances were interesting, but ultimately meaningless one night stands. Actually chatting with someone over a cup of coffee was admittedly pretty nice, more so than he expected it to be.

...Not nice enough to completely distract him from his mission, however. As he notices in his peripheral vision that the cultists start moving out, he excuses himself for a moment - claiming he wants to go buy a can of soda from a vending machine, - and once out of the earshot, taps his communicator on. "Matsuki," he whispers into the device while operating the vending machine. "The skull followers are moving towards the construction site. You might want to leave before they get there, or hide and spy on them. Where do you want me?"

Crap! Matsuki whispers into her communicator. Can you hold them off for just a few minutes? Do a distraction? One of the filters is missing and I want to find it.
While she waits for an answer she sneaks to the utilities room and peers inside.

"I can try." Wolf offers a laconic reply as the vending machine spits out his soda, and quickly makes his way back towards Connor. He doesn't sit back down, instead opting to lean in closer to the man, half in an attempt at being seductive and half so he can lower his voice. "I'm afraid my superior just called demanding results of the survey, so I have to go and bother some more people with pointless questions. But this was lovely, and I wouldn't mind a repeat outing, if you're free-" and I am alive, he adds in his head, "tomorrow. Call me, we can talk more about air filtration." Wolf winks, which doesn't come naturally but is hopefully nevertheless convincing, and after a brief hesitation adds: "And stay away from the conversation club, alright? Just trust me here."

After he says his goodbyes to Connor, Nikolai follows after the cultists into the corridors, waiting until they reach a slightly less populated area so that there is less risk of anyone interrupting, and then looks around for the closest electrical panel. He has no desire to cause a massive disruption on the station, but simply sabotaging doors and lights locally can go a long way...

Matsuki hopes that Wolf is able to hold off the cultists long enough for her to explore the utilities room. She pulls out her tools and starts fiddling with the lock.
Trusting on you Wolf. Hope you have some smart idea she mutters to herself while droplets of sweat begin to appear on her forehead while she works on the lock

Wolf grins as the darkness descends and with a quiet whishing sound unsheathes his claws. Yes, he is about to cause illegal property damage he'll probably have to fix later himself, but in its own way the small act of vandalism delights him, reminding Nikolai of his mercenary days. As the cultists murmur in confusion, he uses this time to strike right at the panel, the metal blades - isolated from his own skin, he's not that careless, - sinking through it like butter. If the cultists want to fix it now, they'll need to do more than just flip a couple switches. After all, he can't say for sure that there aren't any electricians among the club, so it's better to be sure.

His mission successful, Wolf then quickly backs away from the ruined panel and into the closest branching corridor, his coat helping him to merge with the shadows. He doesn't want to leave too far away, in case the cultists deal with the situation faster than expected... And if needed, he can always repeat his earlier performance as an inspector. The best way to cover a sabotage? Pretend that you're here to fix it.

Matsuki Looks around. She's somehow reminded to her trip to the ruins. An uneasy feeling spreads in her stomach. She wants to sit down but no.... There's no time to ponder. She doesn't know how long Wolf can hold off the cultists. She has to act quickly
She snatches the notebook and puts it in her pocket. She'll read it later.
Then she goes to work opening the lockers, starting with the first one
