Charlene directs her internal agent to connect her to an encrypted line. Through a chevron overlaid on her vision, she goes over the plans one more time, ensuring every obstacle has been considered and accounted for. After flipping through a few different pages, and cross-referencing some details, she is finally satisfied with her prep work. Charlene relaxes a bit, clears her vision overlays, and cracks a rare, genuine smile as she looks out at her view of the Oasis streets.

She takes a moment, clears her thoughts, and begins carefully transcribing her message...

Reed finds himself in a dark room, handcuffed to a table that has been welded to the ground. Four hours go by - Reed tries to make himself comfortable, and get some rest.

The soft steps of a pair of sleek, matte-cream-leather high top athletic shoes echoes down a side hallway in the Trickle Down Hydroponics Tower.

Reed, Sedoy, Mavis, and ISO stand frozen in place in their apartment lobby, not wanting to make any sudden movements and risk the wrath of the three Oasis PD-branded Very Heavy Pistols trained on their heads. ISO opens his mouth as if to speak, and then closes it a second later with a frown. He tries again, reaching deep to summon some sort of explanation, something he could say that will get them to the other side of this room, and to the relative freedom of the city streets… but for the first time in his life... ISO finds himself at a loss for words.
