Vreta was less prone to notice odd behavior among Humans compared to Freyr, since his concept of what constituted “odd” for them was not as refined as hers. However, even he could recognize when he was being watched. He was not suprised when they were finally approached, though he feigned enough shock as would be appropriate for a Rothian businessman in his position. 

Vreta listened to the story that the woman weaved about protecting Freyr from Skinners, but he remained unconvinced. It sounded to him like they just wanted to get them away from a public location. Certainly, he did not trust that any member of the Outremer government would be honest with them; not after their encounter with the man that had interviewed them outside. Vreta knew this game all to well to simply fall into a trap blind. Though, that did not mean he was unwilling to turn a trap to his advantage. 

Before the woman was even finished speaking, Vreta was already giving his program new instructions. Instead of observing himself, he had it observe the government agent, and identify anyone who might be associated with her. More importantly, he wanted it to observe their communications. In addition to observing anyone she communicated directly with, it also searched other channels for any keywords that might be related. Skinners, government callsigns, anything out of the ordinary for civilian communications.For now, he still had his program keep itself safe to avoid detection, but his program could run circles around Human intrusion detection systems, and it was still not doing anything beyond listening. 

Vreta was not particularly keen on stepping into danger again, but there were differences this time around. Namely, he was not in the Cradle, and he now had access to his fully array of equipment and capabilities. Whether Skinners or government agents, they did not know who they were dealing with. “I do. I want both of us to be safe. I will help, but why bring her to her apartment? There are more well-protected options. Bring us to the Rothian Embassy and no terrorist will be able to touch her, or me.” He suggested. If nothing else, it was a statement that would get those listening in talking in a way his program could hone in on.
