Done with his questions Thorin sat back in his chair and finished his drink in two quick gulps, placing the glass back on the table he gazed at the empty contents for a few moments before sliding the glass suggestively towards Mr Johnson. He listened to Thovren talk more about the drone and its technicalities. He seemed convinced that any attempts to destroy the drone or subdue it in any way other than his would be futile, and it seemed that it was too ‘advanced’ to be simply destroyed. If the rigger wants to deal with the prototype then let him, he figured dismissively. It wasn’t his area of expertise, but if recovering it would lead to a bonus then that was reason enough to let Thovren do his thing. 

Suddenly Old Soul cackled, directing Thorin’s attention directly towards the young man. 
“156 people?” he repeated, wondering what the hell the mage was talking about. As Old Soul leant forwards and systematically broke down and explained the number of occupants in the club Thorin had to admit that he was more than a little impressed initially. That was until the spell slinger fell backwards dramatically in his chair, crashing into the ground immediately after he finished establishing that he wasn’t some useless parlour magician. A short gruff laugh emanated from Thorin as he turned his attention back to the others. If Old Soul could back up his opinion of himself then he might actually be of some help he mused, also making another mental note as Red Five and Quicksilver started talking about ways to access the security systems. 

Once Johnson had confirmed that he would provide plans of the building, along with a few other things, even a DocWagon thrown in - Thorin was pretty sure that he was going to accept the job. That kind of support on a mission meant that the people pulling the strings really wanted this thing to go down well, which only helped to tip the scales more in their direction. But then the sweet cherry on top, when he found out that just by recovering one of the two ‘optional’ targets would result in a significant pay boost he was certain he was in. 

Taking a small metallic flask from one of his jacket pockets Thorin grinned savagely as he said “Oh I think I am definitely interested in this opportunity” before he took a swig from the small flask and added “If you got the nuyen, then you got the blueprints.”
