Valerie took the metal hexagonal case out of Darion's hands carefully, as if it was something far more valuable and preciouss than it appeared to be. Her small and mechanical hands gingerly caressed the metal surface, exploring every inch of it. "<i>Yes, this isn't something that's supposed to be down here..."</i>She touched the APTS Cybergenics logo and the text besides it.<i>"This wasn't part of what those skullbangers got from Tokyo... It's quite heavy..."</i><br/><br/><i>"It's clearly a protective case, I'm sure you noticed the dent here. The metal is rippled. A blunt, spread blow of some force. And that's not the only thing it protected it's contents from. Here, look... Something smaller also hit. Might've been a bullet." </i>Valerie had put the case on her lap, her arms didn't have a lot of strength and she needed her hands to point out the various things she noticed.<i>"This seam is likely where it opens, I don't suggest trying to force it. Anything capable of cracking it will likely destroy it's contents."</i><br/><br/>The cybered up woman continued her examination.<i>"Broken screen, I might be able to get it to use a different display though. No visible lock, but there are these two plugs here. Custom slots... I could probably make something but I lack the equipment. My guess is that this case is supposed to receive two different digital keys to unlock the maglock that runs it's entire length." </i><br/><br/>Valerie looks up, meeting Darion's gaze.<i>"As for what it actually holds? The data of an entire research project? A very valuable protoype? Someone spent money making sure that this thing is transported safe both from damage and prying eyes. This is likely quite valuable to APTS... I don't detect any transmission from it so it doesn't look like they can track you with it, but.... I venture this could make or break an entire company branch. I can't promise being able to open it. For a start, I lack l'outil for it... the tools. But the world where this came from... I came from there and was supposed to be there still! I know how things work up there. I've got perspective and education no one else here does."</i><br/><br/>The girl in her wheelchair holds the case out to Darion.<i>"I can't stop you from doing what you want with this, but here's my contact details... I don't have the money to buy it, but if you want to solve it or just get rid of it..."</i><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
