Hiteknoraak: "Thank you very much, madame."

~takes the cards and shuffles them~

~meanwhile, after going through the browser history, he now looks for any intel regarding the barrier~

-After searching through the terabytes' worth of pornographic content and banal conversations with people Hiteknoraak doesn't care about, he finds a single space google search: A map location of an old abandoned mining facility out in the wastelands-

-Said mining dealing with...some form of light-bending material natural to this world-

Hiteknoraak: "Now, Mr. Neklaf, I would like you..."

~fans the shuffled cards so Neklaf can see their front sides~

"...to pick a card. Any of these, really. And based on your choice, I will be able to predict your future. Hopefully, this will be enough to prove that we are, in fact, the "real deal", as people like to say."

~uses this last bit of time to take a last look around that guy's computer in case he comes across anything else useful~

Will make dad jokes for friends.

-The only visible file that Hiteknoraak sees is one labeled "Please Don't Open"-

Neflak: [I think I'M going to piiiiiiiick...the thirty-second one from the left.]

Hiteknoraak: ~slides his free hand over the fanned deck and stops at the thirty-second one from the left~

"This one?"

~he carefully checks if there's any alerts hooked up to that folder, and if that isn't the case, opens it~

Neflak: [That's correct~!]

-There are no visible alerts attached to the file, thankfully. Just some text that was inside the file-

Read the file?

~pulls the card out of the deck without looking at it~

"...Jack of Clubs, correct?"

Neflak [You're rather good at this, I must say~! It was the Jack of Clubs~! Perhaps there is merit to working together with you strangers then!]

-The file's contents read:-

If you are reading this, then you are at the very minimum an 8th level intellect and thus have my sincerest compliments for finding this. Unfortunately for you, you will not find the data you are searching for here. The data is located in someone far closer to me than you are capable of reaching. Seriously, did you think a 12th level intellect would leave all of his most important information holed up in a single location that is accessible to potentially any troglodyte with a computer? Did you take me for a fool? Or are you simply too conceited to believe you could find it and not be found?

...And it is this brazen conceit that is valuable in a world such as this. An incomplete prototype of the device you seek is located at the mining facility you have no doubt seen on your journeys. If you bring it intact, then I will grant you the remaining data files needed to create the completed design. I have no need to escape any longer, but removing loose ends like that will benefit the both of us in the end.

-Argus is probably still following Apollyon, her eyes on the lookout for anything that looks powerful and not liable to murder her on sight-

Hiteknoraak: "Oh, but that is only the first part of the trick, you see..."

~carefully holds the Jack of Clubs to his "ear"~

"...the card tells me that you are planning to send us to an abandoned mining facility for Gevuurum, as that holds the key to disabling the barrier."

-The brain in a jar makes a very fake gasp of shock-

Neklaf: [Goodness! REAL magic! Well then, I cannot deny it any longer! If you are willing to go the route and secure the prototype, then I will perform my end of this impromptu bargain! Do you all agree on this~?]


Wastelands

-You sense nothing then, Argus. You have a premonition of something bad about to happen, but you can't sense it-

Argus: -to Apollyon- I don't know. I just have this... gut feeling something bad's about to happen.

Look alive.


Nadask: -to Magilou- If it allows me a chance to escape? I will capitulate.

And should they attempt to keep me locked here, they will know the true fury of a Sangheili Ranger.
