Intermission 1: The Darkness steps back

Declan takes note of the camera in the corner. "Security everywhere.", he thinks.

"Sure I can spare a whole week he says to the man.", then he goes for a hand shake. As he does he leans in close and whispers, "We've got eyes on us. In the corner over there. One of your cameras?"

Well, looks like we may have found a candidate for a little interrogation, eh? Abi nudged Corvin, pointing at the man wearing the hat.

I wonder what those wafers do. Maybe before we track down Mr Hardhat we ought to go look at the panel Dr Wu seemed concerned about.

"Distract him, I will need to get behind hin to restrain him." After taking video of the sabotage, combined with his standing as honorary law enforcement Corvin saw a opportunity to get a break in the case and he intended to take it. He offered his tablet to Abi, there was a look in his eyes that implied a level of trust and discretion. "Make sure to record the arrest, I don't want any hitches if we turn him over to the authorities." The journalist left the alternative silent, very loudly not emphasizing the "if" in his plan.

Corvin grabbed a handful of discarded jumpers and fashioned a crude set of manacles out of them and leftover couplings in the corridor. He knew even he would have a hard time breaking out of the plastic and copper bindings if he secured them correctly. Then he slipped around the corner quickly. Making to ambush the person in the hardhat.

He waited for Abi to get the guys attention before stepping uo behind and throwing a chokehold, kicking at the back of the mans knees to throw him off balance, trying to crush him off balance into the deckplates.

Ahh, Abi replied with a wink to show he understood before sprinting off into the opposite direction from Corvin in an attempt to head-off the man in the hard hat.

He slowed down once he got closer so as to appear nonchalant, looking down at the data pad as if searching for information. Abi looked up as he drew nearer to the man.

Hey there friend! I’m glad I found someone. I’m new here and seem to have gotten myself a little turned around. I don’t suppose you could point me in the right direction could you? He held the data pad to his chest so that the camera was facing outward and gestured to it in suggestion that he was looking at a map.

Then let's become scarce. I'll do the job.", Dylan says turning his face away from the camera. He walks briskly away from the man.

Wolf snorts upon reading the letter, before stepping back and leaning lazily against the wall. "Sounds like the usual pseudo-patriotic drivel to justify inaction, and also clearly a bait. No actual threats or demands, just flexing their knowledge? They either have an enormous ego, or want the authorities to investigate them. I would suggest you outwardly ignore it, so they have no choice but to do something else and reveal themselves further." He shrugs. "Although we can certainly sleuth around in the meantime. Where did this anonymous colleague of yours find this letter?"

Declan slides into the office with and with a cocked eyebrow "Sounds like someone is having a bad year or decade.".

He leans against the wall waiting for Samantha's answer to Wolf's question.

"I agree, sounds more like a disgruntled employee than a spy."

Corvin it seemed was quite well versed in tradecraft, ever the silent witness, the quiet observer. It didn't quite fit for a man as large as him to be so deft at it. But with his most recent foray into the ventilation ducts and his arrest of the saboteur, all with Abi's help, there was no denying why he had managed so well still stirring the hornet's nest was bound to have consequences.
