"Oh, she'll be here soon no doubt; people who prove themselves are allowed leniency in when they arrive." he replied without a beat, a backhand in words if there ever was one "Besides, she's been briefed already; her attendance in this meeting is merely to formally introduce you to her.  Hm... guess that means we've been waiting for nothing..."<br/><br/>A chuckle, and he turns to face Alice fully, that smile ever the same, his eyes definitely disconcerting.<br/><br/>"So... you know what a datasteal is, right?" he said, smirking a bit wider "That's what you're going to do... kind of.  Kuroyama Geosource is based out of Silvermine Bay, and they have some information that my associates desire.  You're going to get in, get the data, get out...and then you're going to 'accidentally' drop the datachip with the information on it as you flee after you 'accidentally' trip the alarm."<br/><br/>A grin, a laugh, and he leans back, relaxing, undoubtedly amused by the likely confusion in Alice, but then he would continue...<br/><br/>"See, your job is to create a diversion for the<em>real</em>job that your new 'friend' will be in charge of.  She's going to be re-writing some of their data to be misleading; we already have the plans we're asking you to get, though they don't know we do, but they have something we didn't want them getting their hands on, and my associates<em>greatly</em>value their privacy... but that's your friend's job; all you have to worry about is getting in without getting caught, getting the datachip with the data Sa'ortra will give you, and escaping while making it look like tripping the alarm was an accident and dropping the data.  Of course, if you get captured... well, you're on your own, Honey."<br/><br/>Shrug as if to say 'what do you expect?' and then it was back to his smug self.<br/><br/>"Any questions?"
