Hayden glanced down and flipped open the computer he was carrying, noting the layout and sighed, "Up one floor. This way." he paused for a moment, then started patting down his pockets, pretending to look for something. An act for the cameras to explain their pause at the elevator doors. He gave an exasperated expression, nearly over acting and shook his head, turning around mouthing the words about forgetting his badge. He waved for Taika to follow and they darted up a floor through the nearby stairwell.<br/><br/>Heading straight towards the Security room, he confidently knocked on the door while shifting the computer and the satchel that hung from his shoulder, seemingly innocently. He thought he saw his boss start to panic, but he gave her a subtle wink and turned back to the door as a guard opened it.<br/><br/>"Yes?"<br/><br/>"Hey, I'm with IT. I'm here to fix stuff." Hayden said, still pretending to fumble with his computer.<br/><br/>"The monitor for 52B?" he asked, "Sure. Come in. Who's your friend?"<br/><br/>"New Hire. She's in training." Hayden quickly replied, "You know, workplace shadowing thing."<br/><br/>"Right. Well it's been acting up a lot lately. It's flickering and sometimes just dies completely." he explained. Hayden stepped inside the small room and looked over the many screens that covered the wall. One was indeed flickering and was really annoying to look at.<br/><br/>"Might me a blown capacitor." Hayden mumbled, quickly scanning over the rest of the monitors. He gestured towards one where a girl was laying on a bed, "Yeah these ones are fine. It's not the sharpest quality, but surveillance systems never are."<br/><br/>"Can you fix it?" he asked.<br/><br/>"Would need to be replaced." Hayden replied, "Open a ticket in our system to have it replaced and we will order one for you."<br/><br/>"Thanks man, I can't stand to look at that thing while it's like that." he said, "I owe you one."<br/><br/>"Speaking of which, I might have to ask you a favor."<br/><br/>"Oh?"<br/><br/>"I'm fairly new here as well and I have work to do in the lower levels. They haven't set me up for the scanner yet and on top of it, I forgot my badge in the locker room. This is sort of an urgent request."<br/><br/>"You want me to let you downstairs?" The guard asked, "Without credentials?"<br/><br/>"That is where the servers are, right?" Hayden pressed. This was the point where his ruse could fall short. The Guard was looking skeptical but didn't say no outright. Taika seemed to remain silent as she let him work, but this was the point where she seemed like she would pop. The guard seemed to mull it over for a long time.<br/><br/>"Here." Hayden finally said, standing up to reach behind the broken monitor. He pulled a signal cable and pinched it between the wall and the side of the monitor, holding it in a way that made the flickering stop. It was clearly a temporary solution but would tie over until it was fixed properly. The guard seemed more relieved and quietly nodded, jutting a thumb towards the door.<br/><br/>Hayden led his boss back down to the elevator and stood in front of it, his heart in his throat. A wave of relief washed over him as the light turned green and the doors opened. He fought the urge to run inside as they entered and he waved to the camera before pressing a button to decent.<br/><br/>"That was close." He muttered, "I noticed the girl is on the 23rd level." He slid down the wall to sit on the floor, seeming exhausted from the performance and relieved it worked.
