While he found somewhere to lean against the wall, his preferred method of relaxing if he wasn't to sleep, the hybrid watched the proceedings, keeping an eye on the door. As if to reward this one man entered, followed moments after by a small group of...children? They gravitated over towards the oddly young looking fellow with odd vis. They sure did have an interesting assortment of people, that was certain. With everyone settled, it appeared their host decided it was time to begin the mission briefing.

He listened closely, keeping the licenti's earlier comment to him in mind, as well as the strange weight in the air--which he had noted was accompanied by a scent matching that of their host--and of course the words he'd meant only the Professor to hear. Of course, it was rather difficult to hide things from him. That in mind, he found his eyes--unbidden--being drawn to the allegedly human stranger who had entered before the three kids. The fellow was a bit [i]off[/i] somehow, but he couldn't place it. Maybe it was something in the individual's posture...or perhaps their vis? He checked both, but still couldn't place it, so he filed it away for consideration and turned his attention to the eximius.

to the side slightly, regarding him with interest. The eximius continued, "[color=#BE93D4]A[/color] [color=#BC98CD]p[/color][color=#BB9ACA]l[/color][color=#BB9DC6]a[/color][color=#BAA0C3]c[/color][color=#B9A2C0]e[/color] [color=#B8A7B9]f[/color][color=#B7AAB6]o[/color][color=#B6ADB3]r[/color] [color=#B5B2AC]t[/color][color=#B4B5A9]h[/color][color=#B3B7A6]e[/color][color=#B3BAA2]m[/color] [color=#B1BF9C]t[/color][color=#B0C299]o[/color] [color=#AFC792]b[/color][color=#AECA8F]e[/color] [color=#ADCF88]w[/color][color=#ACD185]i[/color][color=#ABD482]l[/color][color=#ABD77E]l[/color] [color=#A9DC78]a[/color][color=#A9DE74]l[/color][color=#A9DC78]s[/color][color=#AAD97B]o[/color] [color=#ABD482]b[/color][color=#ACD185]e[/color] [color=#AECC8B]n[/color][color=#AECA8F]e[/color][color=#AFC792]c[/color][color=#B0C495]e[/color][color=#B0C299]s[/color][color=#B1BF9C]s[/color][color=#B2BC9F]a[/color][color=#B3BAA2]r[/color][color=#B3B7A6]y[/color] [color=#B5B2AC]i[/color][color=#B6AFAF]n[/color] [color=#B7AAB6]t[/color][color=#B8A7B9]h[/color][color=#B8A5BD]a[/color][color=#B9A2C0]t[/color] [color=#BB9DC6]c[/color][color=#BB9ACA]a[/color][color=#BC98CD]s[/color][color=#BD95D0]e[/color][color=#BE93D4].[/color]"

As the licenti finished, he found himself nodding before he spoke up, [color=#2E6A95][b]“I imagine that part of the plan is to use the armed prisoners to cause a riot, making it difficult for the prae to capture even a majority of them. However, our eximius friend raises a good point, where are they to hide and how are they to escape the observation of our enemy when they control the police, swat, their own personal forces, and have access to street cameras?”[/b][/color] He glanced to Zeki as he spoke, raising an eyebrow questioningly, his expression still unimpressed. In truth he was at least mildly pleased with the man, as his having gathered data regarding the guard shifts and the layout of the prison had been fairly impressive, considering what he himself knew regarding prae security. [color=#2E6A95][b]"To hide any of them, we're going to need to split up and trickle into various areas of the city, I'd suggest. Am I to assume you've prepared such locations? Or is [i]this[/i] also a distraction?"[/b][/color]

Having noted that the rally was a distraction, he couldn't help but wonder if the earlier gathering had been as well. It had not been well hidden, even if it had been out of the way and far from the city center. It would have been easy for the prae to swoop down and take them all by surprise. Given their host's odd sensibilities--revealed in part by what he'd said to the Professor--and methodology so far, well he couldn't help but be a measure suspicious. If the man did not have all the answers, it would go a long way towards convincing him to trust the man, but if he did, it spelled trouble though also told him that this...Zeki was a very cunning planner, at the very least.

So which would it be?
