And, as she warned, things suddenly began pouring in. Rise was the first to catch something and, looking at the monitor, Maeve swore under her breath. Another deep, somewhat hissed breath in, and her head was back in the game.

"All right, so," Drawing her attention to the group, she spoke quickly. "You've got a direct link to everyone on this operation, you just need to let them know what you see. Let's see here.

"It looks like that," Pointing toward the first monitor, "May have something to do with the overall controls for the perimeter. They should be able to control a lot of the regulatory systems through that, but they'll need a password. If we have to, we can brute force it by linking it with the Warp Band system."

"Monitor two..." She made a face. "Yeesh, those look nasty. Okay, so, bad news, those weapons they're holding look like they have an alarm system built in. Good news, they look pretty fragile. I bet if you break them before they go off, they should be okay. No guarantees."

Gesturing toward the next screen, she curled her other hand under her chin. "Hmm, let me take a look at that a sec." Walking toward the display, she gave it a look over, an actual smile crossing her face. "Oh good, that'll be easy to deal with. Another console. I can't quite tell what it does, but like with the first group, we can probably force out way into their system. Have that group patch their Warp Band through, and we can try to hack into it from our side."

Looking at the next monitor, she shrugged. "Drones. Awesome. Tell 'em to blow them up. I'll try to get a read on the rest of the room when I can."

Drawing her attention to the last monitor, her smile fell, and the red-haired Seeker girl went quiet. Even a psychic type could likely feel the change in the air, a strange but familiar-feeling Pressure hovering around the room. Rufus, who had until this point been on standby, stepped forward, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"That's him." Her voice was low, and dangerously quiet. "That's the Emperor."
