Uriel pondered this for a moment.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"No, I think I'm comfortable enough,"</span></span>she said.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"And although it would be better to keep a low profile for multiple reasons, if we do get caught I will absolutely not allow you to come to harm. My people prefer peace, but even without carrying any weapons with us, the four of us could eradicate every human in this compound in a matter of minutes. I alone am more than enough to fend off any hostile human authorities."</span></span><br/><br/>They met the guards blocking their entry to level 4. Uriel crossed her arms and began the deception.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"Honestly, how many times am I going to have to give the "Alien Ambassador" speech before I finally get to level six. I'm running short on patience, so just let me through already, will you?"</span></span><br/><br/>"What about him?" One of the guards asked. Jeez, they really were getting more jittery the farther they went.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"What </span>about<span style="font-style: italic"> him?"</span></span>she returned.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"He's native to the sixth floor and is going to keep me from getting lost while I'm down there."</span></span><br/><br/>One of the guards opened his mouth, but Uriel held up a hand to silence him.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"Don't even start,"</span></span>she said.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"I said he's here to guide me--I don't need any human guards to protect me. I am more than capable of doing that myself."</span></span><br/><br/>She'd finally smashed the guards' wills under her own and they let them pass. Uriel followed Ryan's lead to the next gate.
