York's safe house really had turned out to be a good choice. The security was good and it does make him feel better knowing that it was there. Lets him sleep more easily, when he actually manages anyway. It's better than staying in the casino with the constant noise of people outside leaving him on edge.

Getting to grips with the city is a top priority though, and has him heading out . Exploring. Scoping out is probably more accurate, treating it like he would a mission.

The shopping district seems the best place to start, busiest at least, and a good place to figure out what's normal here. The helmet store has a wide variety of them in the window, and he scans a catalogue showing enhancements and mods that are available. Some of those would be pretty useful if he's honest with himself. There's weapons shops too; nothing as heavy as the weaponry he's used to having at his disposal, but it's a start. There's a nice set of knives in there too. Now that is something he's going to have to get hold of.

He spends lunches in the park. It's a little surreal to see the covered ceiling up above and know that the sky outside could kill him, but it's nice to take off his helmet for a while. The place is climate controlled, and considering the last places he'd been at home had been a desert, an icy wasteland and a humid pit of a canyon, he's not complaining.

There's a little cafe a few minutes walk from the safehouse that stays open all night, and it's a better option to be there than sitting awake and twitchy in the safe house when he can't sleep.

Emily doesn't even look up when the other man enters. She's too busy working, fingers taking a break from typing only to sketch something on the graph paper beside her. Sometimes she'll pick up her computer, squint at it, set it back down, and keep on going. Every so often, she chews on a wayward strand of hair.

Until everything falls into place. Yes! She's got it! It was all so simple, how did she not see it before? She takes her schematic over to the only other patron -- the tired looking blond guy, and gets way too close for acceptable social skills.

"The wires! It was all in the conductivity the entire time!"

Yeah, she's really excited.
