Roberto DaCosta rolls out a well-worn laminated architectural map. Some areas have been drawn on so often the wax pencil is permanantly inscribed. He scrubs off as much as he can using the hem of his shirt.

"I wish I could call the Storm Queen cocky, but that would imply she doesn't know exactly what she's doing. You can find one of these in every village in North Africa. Anyone who wants to see the Queen is welcome to visit. Just don't expect to come back."

Someone used permanant marker to write names in specific hallways; Pete, Meggan, Jono, Piotr, Illyana, Tessa, Wanda, Erik, Pietro. Roberto pulls out a marker and carefully writes in Dani and Sooraya. He pauses, staring for a moment at Dani's name, then closes his eyes and stands.

"People who think their children could be Barons some day take them through the front door." His voice drips with bitterness. "People who think they can steal something usually try the back passage. This one has a coin slot to open the door." He taps the map. "Last time, I went in here, through the servant's kitchen." He scowls. "They actually offered us a bowl of soup. The masters don't like it when the prey is too hungry. We give out too soon."

A vein on his forehead starts to twitch.

"We're going in here. Through the catacombs. If I save my power - and if Dazzler's 'battery effect' works, we can take out the weaker of them at the start. The fewer we have to fight the better."

"The man has a portable laboratory with him. It was good to have access to that kind of resource again."

Alison preps along with the others then will follow as they start out. Before nightfall, which does seem the best course of action. This time, she's not going for the subtle approach if the feral man returns. Nope, it's a laser blast to the forehead. Maybe that'll slow him down.

The sunglasses are examined. "Fashion statement or to keep me from blinding everyone else in the area?"

"Pretty sure its the latter. Hopefully we can keep you running high energy."

"You and Roberto. He gets some amazing brightness going." Silver continues to walk, almost not having to look at the path as she makes her way.
