Match leads Niko across the rain-dark roofs toward the loading passage. Ahead, rooftop antennae wake in sequence, casting a corporate perimeter map across wet metal and pooling light.
The projection outlines the passage as a controlled transfer point. Red markers converge from three directions, while a maintenance mast pulses with an authorization handshake copied from the recovery team.
Niko
That mast is broadcasting their credential. The roster is partial, but it shows people closing on Darian and Quinn from the east roof and the loading stairs.
Rain beads on the antenna housing as the roster refreshes. Individual identities remain masked, but movement pings multiply beneath the corporate seal, tightening around the passage.
Niko
Rocket stayed behind with Celeste and the channel. Quinn has Darian and the case. If this map is accurate, their clean exit is already being narrowed.
A fresh red line extends from the mast toward the roof beneath them. The loading passage remains open, but the projected perimeter now classifies Match and Niko's route as an approaching security vector.
