Rumi's weapon never left its position the entire time Pit was spilling his guts about EAGLES' plans. Not much of it was very good news to him, but it was important information. Powers had locked down HERO One and he was targeted for potential access codes... Rumi was almost disappointed that EAGLES thought so little of him. Rumi had expected someone like Nero to come, as his metal manipulation power would've been a hassle to deal with. Instead, he got... Snake Pit. To send a single low ranking villain armed with so little against him at his home base was nothing short of folly. Still, Rumi had always kept a low rank for precisely such low evaluations from would-be enemies. It served its purpose here, and Rumi was reaping the benefits.

Once Pit was done, Rumi responded with, "[color=silver]Well that explains a lot.[/color]" before shooting Pit in the face, knocking him out and leaving some minor burns on his face. Rumi retracted the nanobots around his head, giving him some fresh air again. Rumi looked to the side and saw that the group of reporters and heroes were still around. "[color=silver]Well don't just stand there. Anyone with fire or heat abilities, heat up the Tar. It'll crumble once it's dry enough. Anyone with damaged equipment can look through our wares, seeing if they can be repaired or replaced. Polamor employees will assist you in these matters,[/color]" Rumi ordered. Turning to the employees who had been hiding during Pit's attack, Rumi added, "[color=silver]When Pit's free from the Tar, get him out of that suit of his. I want to examine the tech personally.[/color]"

Pit was eventually dragged away by the heroes and Rumi took Pit's suit away in a cart, eager to see what secrets lay within it. He returned to his office, only to find Chris at the desk, sorting through paperwork. "I see you finished taking care of that mess outside, sir. Well done," Chris said absentmindedly as he kept working. 

"[color=silver]I see you've been busy yourself, Chris. Keep it up,[/color]" Rumi chuckled. "[color=silver]Anyway, how about a status update? There anything new?[/color]" 

"[color=silver]As a matter of fact, yes,[/color]" Chris responded, turning the computer screen around to face Rumi. It was another news article, showing Tom's apparent betrayal, having joined EAGLES now. There was also something about a Priestess, but Rumi didn't particularly care about that. "[color=silver]Well that's certainly interesting. I wonder what's going through his mind.[/color]"

"Also, I've tried to contact Firebird, but he hasn't answered my calls," Chris reported. 

"[color=silver]Tsk, that idiot always answers. EAGLES probably got to him already,[/color]" Rumi theorized. "[color=silver]Dammit.[/color]" Rumi had found the tracking device in his own phone ages ago. He had decided not to tell the rest of the gang because he wanted to learn what the goal of the Wings of Law were, and hopefully even find a way to use it against their plans, but they had acted far more boldly than he had anticipated. 

"I'm planning to contact Bypass next, but I'm a little swamped here," Chris said. "Would you like to do the honors?"

"[color=silver]No, if I know Grace, she's probably caught on to the tracking devices by now and ditched her phone,[/color]" Rumi said. "[color=silver]No way of contacting her from here. I'll just do what I can and see what I can learn from this tech.[/color]" 

"As you wish, sir," Chris said, placing a hand into the scanner and opening the way into Rumi's underground workshop. After making his way inside, Rumi began to spread Pit's suit onto the table. "[color=silver]Initiate scan,[/color]" Rumi commanded, and the table began to slowly scan the suit. Rumi could tell it was a little much for some noname villain like Snake Pit to obtain, and he wanted to be prepared for whoever was supplying tech like this to EAGLES.
