Leon takes a look at the cyberdeck stuff on display in the room (and probably also thinks back to the stuff before). "I'm not sure anyone could manage to put these things together. I don't recall dad ever celebrating any kind of success. I'll check on the panel, though."<br/><br/>While the returning son tries to get the panel to activate (the tampering seems to have caused some kind of power issues), Lapine is free to try and place where the camera is looking at. Not on the premises is obvious, given the lack of proper shapes, and the occasional bit of movement in the scenery. Too much for the way back into the city, too. So definitely coming in from the wilderness, although which direction is hard to say. But definitely coming in from the actual wilds outside the city.<br/><br/>And they were going fast, so escaping with meeting them is probably not possible, although if there's not a lot taken, nothing says they have to see more than an escape. Although they could also follow. Or a fight could go on down and then there'd be more time to take stuff. And considering that Leon just got the panel to work, and the two elves are seeing a last message that's giving some details about what the people that killed old Adelheid Stein might have wanted, there's definitely gold to be had if everything can be taken and safely un-protected.<br/><br/>Because the father was apparently working on reproducing some really crazy elf's bio-mechanical cyberdeck for easier enchanting and literal growth (or something, Adelheid freely admits that he wasn't exactly sure of a number of things on the incomplete notes he had), while his wife was part of a very, very secretive metahuman modification plan that claimed to have successfully found a repeatable genetics based treatment that will quote 'change everything'.<br/><br/>And according to the gallows humor on display, the only reason he's able to make this recording is that the SK hit team is running into the crazies that wanted to kill his wife and are fighting each other as much as hunting down the family. He signs off with hopes that the SK team chokes on their own gas grenades, and that the back-stabber would go and masturbate with a sharp knife.
