"Disobeying? Who's disobeying? They have an AI, they want it gone. They told us we can take whatever we like out of the place. He practically asked us to steal the AI. And if that AI's what it's cracked up to be, it shouldn't have any problems finding a way for us to carry it out." he says to the kid who isn't from high school, turning his attention back to Tokamak.
"Exactly! And since we'd be on the surface, even if they don't go for it, the worst that happens is we ge stunned. Wish we had the high school card though. I'd feel better with some drama students running blocker for us."

Scott grins ear-to-ear, giggles a little, and a look of concern flashes across his face. "But he said that it takes an entire fusion reactor to power this thing. What if we *can't* get it out of there? If it takes up an entire room, it isn't exactly portable."
"And convincing the AI to let us disable and steal it isn't going to be a walk in the park either. I mean, I might be able to do it. But if I mess up, that thing's gonna be pissed."
He leans back in his chair, closes his eyes, and mumbles to himself for a moment.
"Whatever, I still say we do it. That thing will be worth a fortune, and those chips will be peanuts in comparison."

Scott collects his things. He glances at Tokamak, figuring that if anyone here had a vehicle it'd be her. "Yeah, the bus sounds fine. I'll come with you two, I've got nothing better to do."

The group leaves the bar and heads for the bus stop. Nothing much happens along the way, and aside from spotting a few other derelicts and scum of society, there is little to note. At the bus stop, the group waits for some time, the bus being late as usual. It arrives soon enough though, and the trio board to head for wherever they're going.

You're free to wander the city if you want, or to head back to wherever your characters live. Go ahead and do whatever your characters are going to do (e.g. gathering intel, stealing stuff, hiring help, etc..) as once in the facility, it will be extremely difficult to leave. When you're ready, just say that you're heading to the facility and we'll get going.

"Yep." the doctor confirms, noting to himself that they're only 6 blocks from the first transfer. After that it's only fifteen or twenty minutes and then hop off in time to catch the Won Ton Express to the office. He's fiddling with his glasses, trying to get them to outline the man following them if he pops up again.
"Can't believe we didn't get the student discount." he grumbles, not pointing fingers at anyone.

Tokamak stiffens in the exact opposite of nonchalance.
"Where? Is he on the bus?" She hisses.

Scott glances at his own raygun. His is black market: definitely shoddier than Tokomaks, and probably a bit more carcinogenic. He briefly considers moving it farther away from his vital organs, before his attention is caught by the doctor's mention of their pursuer.
Keeping his voice down to a whisper, "slime, do you think they heard what we were talking about in the bar? We have to be more careful about this. These people seem dangerous."
