analysis of the internal status reinforced her orders and she begins moving towards the Archives after some deductive reasoning.<br/><hr/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>E</strong></span>nroute to S.T.A.R Labs, Batwoman let her body fall on auto-pilot.  The streets of Gotham were something all but familiar and handling the Ducati fell to muscle memory.  Convinced that tonight wasn't going to be like the others, things had to be thought through thoroughly.  Poison Ivy makes a return after five years to rob a bank.  A break-in at the world's leading scientific advancement facilities.  Was there a connection?  Kate's initial conclusion was no.  Ivy's reputation of criminal activity was environmentalist.  She was one of the most prominent eco terrorists in the world so there would be no need for a weapon.  Unless said weapon operated on biological, organic power sources.  Even then it was a stretch.  This was unrelated so the question fell down on who.  Who in Gotham's long list of recurring villains would take an interest in S.T.A.R Labs?  Who out of that list would have the technology or brain capacity to pull it off?  Bane?  Riddler?  Catwoman?  Three possibilities but not likely.<br/><br/>Focus returned once Connor reported his findings through the intercommunications device.  Downed guards but not killed.  It was someone skilled and knew how to avoid being messy.  The guards were missing key cards, which was a method to bypass external security and gain access inside.  The team was handling a professional or a team of them.  They also had a quickly closing window of opportunity to put a stop to this.  They were minutes late arriving and anything could have been taken with enough time for a getaway by now.  Sorry team, but Batwoman was moving in ahead of schedule.  Unlike Batman, however, she'd notify them and explain her reasoning.<br/><br/><em>"In that case, I'm moving in.  We're already responding to this later than I'd like and I'd like to be inside before they have a chance to escape.  Spoiler, if you get here before Nightwing, you wait for him to move in,"</em>she told them just as S.T.A.R Labs was in sight.<br/><em>"Superboy, get bird's-eye view of the area and report any suspicious activity until Nightwing and Spoiler are inside and if it's possible, see if you guys can come in from alternative entry points."</em><br/><br/>Making a deft movement of the hand, Batwoman pressed fingertip against the touch-responsive screen integrated on her side of the Ducati's visor, setting it on auto-pilot.  She mentally prepared herself for the following series of actions, understanding and concerned about going in blind.  There was no intel or inkling on who was inside but that's never stopped her before.  The Ducati slowed its acceleration down just manageable enough for Kate to put her left foot on the seat before kicking off, tumbling into a roll upon landing and letting the gained momentum carry into a sprint.  In only a few seconds, Kate found a route inside and immediately analyzed the surroundings.<br/><br/>Every door was open and the flickering red lights near the ceilings indicated an alarm protocol.  That was clever but had a huge risk.  Everything had a pro and a con, she supposed.  It did confirm some things though.  For one, there were open exits, reinforcing her tactical decision in having Connor maintain a bird's eye view.  Oracle needed to get into the system and upload those schematics.  With that, the would at least have a vague bearing on the facilities most likely routes of egress and locate suspect locales where items of interest were.  Until then, Kate had to make do with what she had.  The only way to cover as much ground as possible was using what resources she had and with it in mind, she spoke through the intercommunications relay again.<br/><br/><em>"Oracle, what is the progress on those schematics?  They've triggered an alarm that's opened up every door in this place.  Most likely an evacuation protocol to a fire alert or something.  Connor, that aerial view is even more important until we have those schematics because any exit point is viable.  Nightwing, I entered through the foyer entrance;  take Spoiler and enter from another angle.  We can't afford to have them get away.  They're good."</em><br/><br/>Katherine began to move further inside, relying on labels and common sense to advance.  Facilities like this and hospitals had signs on the walls to help visitors or employees navigate easier.  She had to look for leads to anything such as 'Laboratory' or 'Testing'.  Anything that would indicate the most likely destination for things to be stolen.  Then again, on another thought, a storage space for weapons already tested would also be ideal.  She surveyed the signs quickly, using the part of her brain that memorized license plates.  'Archives', one of the signs said.  Her destination was set and she began to quickly approach.  Her senses were attuned to be as keen as possible, body language poised and ready to react at a moment's notice and her feet silent.<br/><br/>As she moved through the building towards the Archives, she kept meticulous sense of awareness.  Any corner she had to turn, she turned at a wide angle.  Any adjacent door ran past, Kate passed from the opposing side of the corridor.  If they somehow saw or detected her approach, this would reduce the chance of a surprise attack significantly.  It also allowed a more thorough scan of the room, starting from one wall to the next.
