<div class="floatright">(http://data.whicdn.com/images/12108300/large.jpg)</div><strong>Character:</strong>Danika Quinn<br/><strong>Location | Time:</strong>63 Wall Street, New York, Penthouse. | Sometime after 0940 hours<br/><strong>Attire:</strong>Cropped blk & wht varsity jacket & red hoodie, blk beater, pale jeans, blk sneakers, mis-matched multi-color socks, blk beanie<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>All<br/><hr/>Having opted to skip the superfluous introductions, both because she was late and because she saw them as unnecessary, Dani simply made herself comfortable and waited. It didn't matter to her in that moment whether the others could read her or not, she was sure they'd figure out enough just given time and there was really nothing to be done about that when you were expected to share a living space with someone as the case seemed to be here. Thankfully the screen in the room came to life shortly after her butt hit the seat so she didn't have to invest too much effort into ignoring anyone.<br/><br/>One thing that was clear: Danika Quinn was not a morning person. Living her life in the city of sin had turned her damn near nocturnal and the energy drink she'd downed on the ride over simply wasn't up to the task of hard-wiring a system like hers. Which meant the woman had to fight not to yawn during the briefing and so ended up plucking a piece of sugary grape bubble gum from her pocket. Unwrapping it she popped the gum into her mouth before seemingly focusing her attention on folding the paper wrapper into some shape or other. It likely gave the impression that she wasn't listening to what was being said but in actuality she was listening rather intently. Both to what was said and what wasn't. By the time the screen went dark again, well, D had more questions than answers. Which she supposed was to be expected in this sort of thing. In any case, by the time one of them--David Oestreicher--had begun speaking, Dani had completed her folding. Reaching out she set a tiny paper bird upon the black box she had yet to touch.<br/><br/>Satisfied with her impromptu project, the woman sat back and let her gaze wander to David. Looking him over as he spoke she wondered if he'd been aware that he was going to be stuck in the role of leader. From his demeanor she gathered that this was not a position he'd been in overly much prior to now and she didn't envy him in the slightest. At least his directions were clear enough. Ticking them off in her own mind she conceded that blueprints were fairly easy provided they'd been digitized and were on some server somewhere. If they weren't they might have to take a visit to physically grab the blueprints but since they were public record a good cover would be enough to accomplish that. To David all she said was, "Sure." Nodding as if it were all so easy. The other two points were the difficult parts anyhow. It would require a close scrutiny of the scum they were supposed to tag and bag in order to figure out his habits and tendencies. Hopefully at least one other person here was good at profiling individuals otherwise they were going to have hell tracking down the pieces.<br/><br/>Her mind was already working through a list of probabilities even as she looked over each of her new "teammates" as David addressed them. Habit had her noticing their expressions and what mannerisms they displayed unconsciously and just after David finished speaking the countdown began.<br/><br/><em>3... 2...--</em><br/><br/>She didn't even flinch as Temple began speaking, cutting off her countdown before she'd even reached one. Her fingers tapped silently on the arm of her chair in a seemingly random pattern, something she did when making note of things mentally, and she sat back to listen.<br/><br/>Temple definitely seemed like 5-0. Not the shiny, buttoned up rookie kind either. Nah, she was the change the world one bullet at a time sort if Dani wasn't mistaken. Her tone alone implied she'd been there, done that, three times over and was about sick of it, and Danika could understand that to a degree but that didn't mean she appreciated the "your techie" comment.<br/><br/><em>Seems the good detective isn't a team player, what a shock.</em><br/><br/>Danika rolled her eyes and let the others speak. It was the first day, the first hour, none of this was going to go smoothly but she didn't feel like contributing to crazy. In fact hearing the others was only making her tired and she almost opted to stand up and go find her room to take a nap while they got their shit together. Which was big because Danika and sleep were outright enemies these days. Oskar's wink earned him an arched brow and vaguely amused smile but that smile faded quickly as he continued on. She didn't begrudge anyone their right to survival but the oh so casual way the man spoke of offing someone was juuuuust a little scary. Was he the type like those she'd seen in the message?<br/><br/>The question hung without an answer and chilled, Dani was forced to file it away before she took another unwilling trip down memory lane. Shaking her head, her dark eyes took measure of the first of the blonde women to speak up and she was actually surprised when the woman offered up an interesting point. The second offered a bit more food for thought but since at least a piece of it would involve Danika's skills directly she opted to break her silence on the matter as Kane began to round the table.<br/><br/>"For what it's worth," she spoke up after popping the bubble she'd blown, her fingers going still before she reached up to pull her beanie off, "I say run the op as prescribed. Let's not get sucked into doin' too much because I, for one, wanna to survive this gig. We've got a lead so lets let him lead." She nodded toward David then shrugged, not entirely sure of him but then she wasn't sure of anyone in that room.<br/><br/>"We don't know what the Initiative dudes already have in place. Could be they're working on another angle that cleans up the mess." If they were smart they would. Relying on a total newbie team sounded like the equivalent of going on tilt and shoving all in on a bluff. Aka, the kind of move that got you knocked out. "Plus, getting the buyers can be tricky. We'd need to know what the--Alpha set up. Like how its all supposed to go down and whatnot. But the cut of it is: you want the buyers then you tap the deal, let it go through with some dummy version of the research, and then play connect the dots. There's no way to bag all the buyers tonight though. Not unless these guys are all total amateurs and planned to show up in person all gathered neatly in one spot like fish in a barrel." If they did that they deserved to be taken down by 'Big Hero 6' here.<br/><br/>"I do agree that nabbing first, capping later is worth considering. You get at him, you break him down and get what you need, either directly or indirectly." Her gaze strayed toward Oskar and the detective involuntarily for a moment but just as quickly she turned it instead to the phone Kane had placed in front of her. "But..." She started to continue her point about taking him out being a safety measure but trailed off on a silent curse. Flipping the phone over she removed the back and popped the battery out for now.<br/><br/>"Whoever this was is fucking with us," she said simply, her gaze lifting to meet Kane's. "If I decided to tap your phone, unless you knew specifically what to look for or got really lucky you'd never know. The fact that you spotted their bug that easily meant it was for show. A scare tactic." And things like this was part of the reason she hadn't touched the phone in the box just yet, she wanted time to analyze it and be able to disable whatever "bugs" they'd placed before hand. "I can remove it but it'll be a bit since I don't even know what toys they've given me to play with and how much of a tune up they'll need. Or you can use it, lead them astray or whatever. Your phone's still functional though it may get the occasional hang up due to the clunky nature of that particular program." Dani shrugged and left it to the woman to decide.
