hide from the camera!...again | 1d20+10 ⇒ 24
----
Once again Galatea escaped her cameraman. She actually began to feel bad about it and would likely give him some good shoots later in the evening

She was in a smaller, empty lab, in which she made sure there was no device to spy in them and the conversion they'll have.

After walking around the STEM center enough for anyone to get lost, Arturo joined her alone.

"Good evening." he greeted her as he lowered his hood.

Galatea raised her head from her the datapad she'd been writing on

''Good evening Babble...or can I call you Arturo? Which one do you prefer?''

"Babble in the field, perhaps. But, Arturo is fine otherwise." he shrugged.

She nodded

''Very well Arturo...I would like to ask you what you think about Frankie B's claims of multiversal collapse. Do you believe her?''

"I certainly am no expert, but I firmly believe anything is possible." he said. "Obviously, it would be best to prevent such a thing from happening, but we also need to concern ourselves with anyone who has taken an interest in her or her claims."

''Acting on the prophecy can be the very thing that causes it type of thing'' she replied with nod ''I believe her too, in a fashion, even if I have downplayed it after the Brass Orchid incident. I prefer subtlety over the bullish charge she's been on''

Her jaws tightened, remembering

''An associate of mine met virtually with Eric Gibson a few hours ago, Frankie was apparently on the same call but disappeared not far in...whatever the reason, Gibson had a hand in it.''

"I have been on the periphery of all of this, aware but not really involved." He said. "I'd like to help. What do we know about Eric Gibson?"

''Likely an elite with super intelligence. Cruel, cold and calculating...a mercenary through and through. He's working for Infinite Horizons at the moment who is in the process of developing dimensional travel.''

She quirks her eyebrow

''To much coincidences for my tastes. We took a gamble and might meet with the Horizon's head if they take the bait.''

"Probably has excellent security." he frowned. "I've been working on system infiltration, but just in simulation."

''We are going to meet under the guise of a merger. We have a working teleportation prototype here and will pretend that we aim to join forces. I worked with Markus on the device, we can show it to you and the science behind it if you want.''

She stretched her neck

''Having someone infiltrate the campus while it happens would be a boon.''

"I was referring to their network." he said. "In person, I probably won't be that helpful, unless a linguist is needed. Or, a lot of reading."

''Oh, I was aware. I was just explaining the context of the visit'' she replied

"My being on site to do it would make it easier." He nodded. "I just won't be able to focus on much else."

''It is in the middle of the city, we could set of a location within range...would that be sufficient?''

"It will depend on how I can access." he explained. "I doubt their WiFi extends beyond their grounds. Even if I extend my personal broadcast range, I'd need to be within range of their transmitters. But, I imagine their internet is encrypted satellite. I may be able to work with that."

"What if someone wore an emitter-transmitter?" She asked

"That could work." He nodded. "I've been working on a few gadgets to help me focus my abilities."

''We could work on making something that could be carried and deposited somewhere. Something stealthy''

"A miniature relay or something like that." He nodded. "Plus a signal booster for myself."
