She then noticed the two techs already working away and finally Gabriel in his somewhat casual suit. She knew better at that moment and chose not to say a word just yet, her eyes looking over the empty station that was no doubt hers, before turning her attention to the screens to watch the scene unfold with Dallas and the woman. She recognized the woman immediately, of course she had but she did an excellent job of not even blinking at the scene.<br/><br/>It wasn’t until he spoke to her that her eyes pulled away from the screen again and she focused on him, listening carefully to the woman’s second life history, all of which was completely new to her and she was skeptical on how much of it was actually true or if he was just making these stories up to get a rise out of her…..a Lieutenant such as herself wouldn’t stoop to such levels would she, she seemed respectable from the handful of times she had met her. But Prentis has no reason to lie to her about it, so perhaps it was true, perhaps there was a lot she didn’t know about many of her superiors.<br/><br/>Crossing her arms under her chest as she was introduced to the other techs who would be working under her. She looked over Cherry head to toe once, taking in her rather….juvenile appearance with only the slightest of smirks on her lips. Listening to her introduction, she decided not to react to her taunting and rather crude comments to her new boss, she could deal with her later if she continued to feel the need to attempt her alpha female act. Turning her head to Cue she listened the second tech and she enjoyed his introduction a bit more until his last sentence, not being able to help but smile just a bit of the two of them began bickering, “Tweedle dee and tweedled dum indeed….” She mutterered under her breath, which was drown out by Gabriel’s scolding.<br/><br/>Quinn watched Gabriel leave the room, finding the orientation to be a bit lacking, but she wasn’t about to show any sort of weakness in front of the two idiot techs as they would both clearly eat her alive if she did. Moving around to her station between the two techs she stood there, looking over the monitors for a long moment and watching Dallas in all his typical vulgarness, she couldn’t help but feel a slight flush through her cheeks. It wasn’t until cue asked about the nickname that she shifting her eyes from the monitor, over to him briefly before she pressed her lips into a firm stare, “Don’t you worry about silly nicknames….I don’t intend on that one sticking around either….” She warned once before sitting down in her chair.<br/><br/>It took her a moment to scan over the multiple screens as she pulled on the smart glove before she decided what she wanted to do. “Alright then you two….let’s get to work.” She reached out with her left hand and moved a few things around on her screen into a better lay out before doing a quick scan of the menus and options she had in front of her. She could do this….it had been awhile but she was pretty sure she knew what to do with most of anything in front of her, just in different applications of course.<br/><br/>“Cue I need you to get in there first please, let’s see some of these interference skills you spoke of and see what you can do with that bio software, we need the anti-malware system shut down.” Her eyes looked away from her screen to him for a moment, waiting for him to do as he was told before she returned her gaze to the computer screen to her right and then to Cherry, “Cherry help him out, once you guys get me in there I’ll take the reins….”<br/><br/>Reaching over she picked up the headset sitting to her right before pulling it on, leaving her right ear uncovered so she could still listen to the two assistants and any sort of alarms or chimes that could come from the computer. It would take them the entire morning but the three of them would find a way in before lunch. All the while she was careful to ensure that they both understood very clearly what her role was and that she wasn’t some buddy to them but rather their boss without coming across as a complete asshole.<br/><br/>Satisfied with their progress by late that afternoon she was able to access some basic memories and spent most of her time cataloguing the different finds and trying to decide what the best approach would be for their attack, pretending in her mind that it wasn’t a real human being she was dealing with but rather some sort of computer puzzle, it kept her motivated to do what she needed to do without feeling that moral compass leading her a stray. Both assistants looked rather exhausted at that point and she noticed it, sitting back as she tugged off her headset. “Why don’t the two of you call it a day….” She suggested before standing up herself to do a quick stretch.<br/><br/>Neither of them seemed interested in disagreeing with her and cleaned up their work stations and desktops as she went pour herself another mug of coffee. As the two left the control rooms he gave them each a bit of nod before she went back to her station, grabbing her cell phone off the desk and thinking for a moment before spending a bit of time setting up a firewall and encryption base on the phone….juuuuuust in case Prentis felt the need to monitor her personal phone which she was hundred percent he did. When she was satisfied with the measures she had put in place to allow for a secure line out into the real world, she set aside the phone again.<br/><br/>Sipping at the hot coffee, her green eyes looked at the monitor, staring at a frozen image on the screen where she had paused one of her memories. It seemed insignificant at the time, and to the assistant techs it would have been completely random and likely an unusable memory but she knew otherwise. The man in the image was her partner Agent Graham Norton, although it was a very old image and likely before she knew him but it was still him. Taking a moment, she picked up her headset and put it back on before she hit a button and allowed the memory to continue, watching the scene unfold in front of her. It was clear, after sitting in front of the monitors for another hour and herself and Graham had a rather intense relationship well before her robotic husband and she couldn’t help but feel the slightest ping of jealously….he had never mentioned it to her ever before and she thought they were pretty close partners.<br/><br/><br/>Her mind rang back to Prentis’ discussion about the cavalry coming to try and save Lieutenant Chambers, and he was definitely right they would, but if Prentis knew they were coming they weren’t going to have a successful mission. Sitting back in her chair she picked up her phone, taking a moment before sending out a quick message to her partner. She hadn’t been about to be in contact since the whole chapter had started and she needed to get in touch. She let him know that she was alright and she was where she was supposed to be before going on to explain that Chambers was in their custody but it would be a suicide mission to try and get to her, even though she knew no one would listen to her. Sending on her intel, she had enough for one day. Rising out of her chair she turned, shoving her phone back into her jeans pocket, wanting to speak with Prentis again before continuing with the project. They hadn’t gotten past the bio-software and scanned through several important memories, pinning them for later use at that point and she wanted him input before jumping in with two feet.<br/><br/>Locking out her work station she stepped down off the platform carefully before making her way out of the control room and back through the maze with the help of her ID bracelet, finding the ‘mess hall’ not long later for something to eat, she was most definitely hungry after the long day.
