It seemed Niko's guess about the turrets movement capabilities were slightly off the mark. While at the top of the wall, they were faced with getting shot at if something wasn't done about it, and quickly. Han didn't need to be told twice. He gave the nearest turret a solid kick just before he went over the edge. The kick itself did a number on the machine, bending its barrel and appearing to damage the mechanical swivels that allowed it to turn and move. He'd tried to hold back so not to leave an obvious clue of intrusion, but it looked like he underestimated himself.

Once they were both on the ground, Han was the first one to speak. "We shouldn't stick around. Someone's going to notice what we did to the turrets just now." but that was all he got out before something else caught his eye. A figure on a nearby rooftop staring down directly at them. No way. No one could have found them out this quickly! Han quickly pointed up at them, "There! On that roof!" but the figure was already on the move.

They jumped down, using various ledges and footholds to rapidly descend the structure without having to fall the entire way. When they were on ground level, Han recognized them as one of higher level Wuyeying. A bit higher up the chain than the group they faced before in Hong Kong. They said nothing, but instead silently threw something in Han's direction. He caught it, realizing it was a cellphone. And the assassin was gone before they could be questioned. Were they just... delivering this? And then, the phone rang.

"Unknown ship approaching the planet, huh?" asked Goda when that bit of news was delivered to his desk, "It's gotta be the kid. So he had the guts to show up after all..." the man was sitting in a personal office. The Wuyeying had a few branch offices and HQ's in certain strategic locations. Mars was no different. Goda had come here with the four men he'd chosen to await his chance. But when his targets didn't show up for some time, he decided to do a little extra preparations.

His office wasn't just guarded by his four chosen assassins. Other men were here. Right around 40 in total. The old man may have only given him four assassins to do the job, but that didn't mean Goda was without his own... personal resources that he could potentially call upon. He was determined not to let this contract get away. If that meant he had to call in every contact and favor he still had remaining from his old days in the Yakuza? Then so be it.

"Here." he gave a certain cellphone to one of the 4 assassins, "Deliver this when they get past the walls then regroup back here. Just because we're tasked with killing them, doesn't mean we can't do it on our own terms."

Han reluctantly opened the phone after it rang a few times, and sure enough, he heard a familiar voice, "Took yer sweet time showing up, didn't you kid? You almost had me thinking you'd chickened out on me. You may have those corporate bigwigs fooled with your little stunt, but did you really think you'd fool me?" Han put the phone on speaker for Niko to hear as well.

"Oh let's meet up then, Goda." said Han, deciding to play along with the banter for now, "I'm sure we have lots of catching up to do."

"Sorry, kid. Bit busy at the office, you know how it is." there was a brief pause, "But... just for you, I might be willing to share what I know. If you can make it to my office alive, then maybe I'll tell you." the line went dead after this.

"Well, I think it's obvious he's goading us into a trap." Had said to Niko, "The real question is whether we can afford not to walk into it or not." he took a deep breath, "In most situations I would suggest we just leave him to stew, but... I'll be honest with you: I can't help but feel like I need to go face him. If for no other reason than to send a clear message to my father that I want no part of his organization."
