Maybe coming up here was a mistake…
*Puts my hand on my chin and stares at it*
*Puts my hand against a nearby decorative pillar, but then recoils as if shocked*

You think disabling security here would do more harm than good?
Disrupting the satellite is going to be noisy. Plus, we’re exposed up here.

I didn’t even do it this time either. So it does worry me.
*Walks one lap around the array, analyzing it top to bottom*
*The beacon system is surrounded by reinforced glass on all sides, including below, and is only connected by a hair-width optical fiber running between the seams, along with indiscernible wireless protocols*
I brought a vampire tap just in case, but it looks like that thing is using glass all the way down. I’m not really interested in logging in if I can avoid it.

*Chuckles as I set you down on your feet*
No you.
*Turns toward the cameras finally in acknowledgment, now that we’re both up here*
*Kicks at one of them*
Aaaand they're not working. Maybe this place really is a massive trap.

Please don’t burst open.
*I stand as close to the edge as I can and hold my armored hand straight out over it, and a moment later you quickly, but not joltingly, are pulled upward by an attraction between my armor and the thing you hold. I catch you and pull you in, holding you in my arms as I spin you around quickly, making sure not to snag the barbed edges*
Magic!
*Smiles widely*
*Catches your gaze and blushes, but then smiles*
Okay, fine. That was pretty cute.

Doing dangerous stuff when you’re not a super powered invulnerable behemoth just means you need to compensate with utility. That thing just so happens to serve a few gravity-defying functions. Put it on your hand and hold your hand straight up. Make sure it’s tight and secure.
I feel like a data piñata.
*Holds onto the handle and relaxes my elbow*

*Detaches an otherwise inconspicuous segment of my arm piece and dangles it over the ledge at you. It looks like a sort of strapped device just big enough to fit around your hand*
Catch. I’ll do the rest of the work for ya.
*Drops it to you*
Why do you just have this?
*Grabs onto it and pockets my knives*
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
*Peeks over the edge at you*
Everything okay?
I'm fine, just give me a hand. Trying to do anything in this place is like trying to have a nice meal at a hotdog eating contest.

Uh… Breaking and entering? A second time on a place I just broke and entered thirty seconds ago? And also maybe jumping too high.
*Starts a brisk run towards the wall and jumps, landing on one foot and rocketing up several feet past the roof of the building, launched by a blue pulse that bursts from the bottom of my shoe*
*When you reach the roof, a series of camera systems focus on your position, but their feeds back to the central security server are disabled*
Right behind you. Air—
*Takes a couple steps, but slows down, as if dizzied*
You know, never mind. Give me a second.
*Takes a knife in each hand and digs them into the surface of the building, gradually scaling the wall*
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
We need to watch out around the dish itself. But this is doable otherwise.
*Takes several paces away from the wall and taps the toe of my shoes against the ground, twice each*
Which laws are you breaking this time?
