<strong>Ada (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>The man barely had a chance to let out a hurried yelp as the thorns nailed him to the wall near the door, inside the room's entrance. Trembling shaken up by the blast of thorns, he stared at Ada looking frightened enough to faint, trembling and gasping for breath a bit laboredly. The guy didn't seem to be in the best health either. Well, he didn't look like he was in danger of dying but certainly panicked by now.<br/><br/>It was the first guy already held down by the vines that began to speak hurriedly then, seeing his companion secured to the wall like that.<br/><br/>"We work for Tony Cote, please, we just wanted to make good money on this stuff and Tony's got the connections to make it, our job was to figure out how to get it to work so he could present it to a buyer, but the thing has been volatile when assembled so he wanted it shipped in parts. As far as we understand, the three parts we got now are the main body of it, the control interface, and the power source and system sharing one item." The guy was hastily explaining. "That orb alone should be worth a ton, but Tony needs us to find out how it works safely first, so it wont just fry everyone in the room!"<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Myriad (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>The limousine pulled over waiting for Val's forms, with darkened windows, and a security guard leaving the passenger seat of the limousine moved over to secure the way between the front door and the limousine. Waiting for the Vals to make their way to the waiting Limousine. The guard briefly grunted and turned away a few people walking that side of the street, gesturing them to take a hike, find another route, and avoid that spot. It was pretty obvious he was having nobody interfere with his clients.<br/><br/><strong>Myriad (LA)</strong><br/><em>@Marie's Office</em><br/><br/>"It sounds like there should be no leaks then, and agreed, after the press conference." Looking out the nearby window, Marie smirked. "It looks like the storm is starting to pass, the water is falling at a far slower rate now than it did earlier. So, hopefully we can get it done soon. Though the reactions for the first day or two should be very interesting." She smiled while looking at Val there, then raising the phone to answer a call briefly.<br/><br/>Frowning, she made quick replies. "Ahah. I see. Alright. Tell them to be ready. Yes. Ok, yes. No, it has to be ready as soon as possible. What? Alright. Yes, at least by then." She set the phone down and smiled. "Thirty minutes till you take the stage, the reporters are coming over and using the conference room if the storm doesn't stop before that."
