    Magtok raises an eyebrow at one or two of them, but doesn't say anything. Sunny has a rather odd-looking security detail.

    Sunny unconsciously places her hand on her own engineering hammer, but otherwise doesn't acknowledge the people gathered. She doesn't really understand religion, and is rather uncomfortable about the cult that has sprung up around her.

    "As long as the Magbots need to negotiate their way past security without being forced to let the door guards have a look inside their lead-lined suitcase. You've got plenty of time."

    Magtok can't imagine the Remmies are going to take too kindly to that, but hopefully they know him well enough by now to understand he wouldn't take advantage of the situation with Sunny to smuggle in a-

    Magtok shakes his head, and sighs. No, of course he won't be that lucky. She was his intern, his prized pupil and greatest successor, and yet here we are with all these spooks, watching him for a weapon or a bomb or some other dastardly trick. Blargh, if only there was...I dunno, a reverse mind-reading helmet he could 'accidentally' wear or something, so these little mix-ups and misreading of intentions could be avoided.

    "I could completely forget you're not attached to the hip to this base, and you could remind me, and we could do that, yeah," Magtok replies with a sheepish grin as they shift direction, more than a little ashamed this didn't occur to him sooner. The cyborg's not entirely sure when the student became the master, but there's no denying that it happened. It's taking longer than it should, but he's finally, gradually coming to terms with it, with as much grace as he can muster.

    Well Magtok doesn't look over Sunny's shoulder while she texts, and he's certainly not going to worry about what needless fears others might have about something that's practically routine to him, so Carl's concerns don't even occur to him as a possibility.

    Vas' Office

    The Commander is in her Office at the moment, frowning over a stack of paperwork as she jams it into her computer at an abominably slow pace. It's a wonder she doesn't have a secretary do this for her, but some things are likely just for her eyes only. When the assassin walks in, Vasquez nods towards the chair opposite of her. "Take a seat. I need just a moment and then I'll get you your clearance for your modified equipment locker. Any questions for the moment though?" She asks before jamming at her keyboard with a couple fingers and a sigh without giving the visitor a glance.

    "Your equipment is currently in The Armoury."
    Vasquez says before sighing and pushing her keyboard away. "Alice'll kill me if I don't get these reports done, but I can just blame you." She says with a wry smile before getting up and plucking her hat from the top of the computer and putting it on. "You'll have access to special equipment from this point on as well, but I'll go over all that you don't know once we get there." The Commander explains as she tilts her head for Iamar to follow.

    Vas' Office => Armoury

    Iamar might remember the name as the officer who is practically Vasquez' second in command and is also the one who writes her name on the paychecks.

    They get to the armoury unless Iamar stops them, and once there Iamar's commanding officer will guide her through a pair of security doors to a room filled with black lockers. "Go to number 89 and type 0000# on the keypad. Then type your own four digit code. The only people able to override it are myself and a pair of others. Once done, we'll take out your equipment and go over it."

    I'm an escaped slave with no combat skills whatsoever. I need protection in case my former master wishes to hurt or recapture me.

    A moment later the locker opens, revealing a suit of a light absorbing black material and composite armor plate waiting for her. Next to it are her usual weapons though they've been coated with enamel to match the darker coloring. "Go ahead and put on the suit, make sure it fits right, and then I'll explain the other equipment that's waiting."

    Iamar takes a glance at her weapons, seeing how their appearance had been changed. She didn't like it, but she supposed it wasn't exactly her choice anymore. She nods to Vasquez and takes the suit, figuring out how exactly to put on such a strange garment. It's a few moments before she changes into the black suit.

    Armoury

    The suit is skin tight but Iamar will feel that it is quite comfortably warm and that it doesn't wrinkle up in the joints that would make it rub or chafe. Not only that, but if she looks closely, she'll see that the material flickers into translucency sometimes. "It's an enhanced Wraith Variant." Vasquez says before offering a helmet to the assassin. "It allows personal cloaking and has a sound dampening field that can be activated. It hides body heat and bio-electrical signals as well." She explains with a small smile. "The helmet grants various vision spectra, enhanced sensory input, and targeting assists as well if you hook a pistol into the dataport at the wrist." The Commander says, pointing at the appropriate slot. "The material is a special weave that is bullet, temperature, slashing, and piercing resistant. The composite plate is even more so. The Enamel coating is actually several coatings that can be realigned by the same electrical current that allows cloaking. But if you prefer not to cloak and need to only change your appearance..." She starts before trying to take Iamar's left wrist and pointing at a small dial before spinning it a click to change the entire suit to white, then blue, then a series of camouflage patterns. Even her weapons will change colors.

    Armoury

    Iamar does her best to understand the explanation. She's been in the Nexus awhile, but high-tech things are still mind-boggling for her. Still, she manages to get the gist of it. She takes the helmet, and puts it on. When Vasquez takes her wrist and changes the colors, she looks at her sword with some level of surprise. "This suit is incredible," she says, unsure of how her voice filters through the helmet. Before this, she had only worn some leather armor when on assignment, because the really protective armor was too clunky and noisy. This, though, was a whole different story.

    Vasquez can't help but smile a little at that. "We do our best. It should also be noted that you'll be able to see other cloaked personnel so there's no risk of friendly fire." She explains. "Any questions about the suit itself?"

    Iamar doesn't have too many questions that would be practical to ask. She'd like to know how it worked, but that would probably just confuse her more. "Can it still house my wristblade?" she asks.
