Finally arriving at the Flagg office and ascending several flights of stairs, the party arrived on the streets outside Coronado. Just down and accross the road was Flagg's office, a single silver tower with angles not unlike a stealth fighter, looking like at any moment it could launch into space. As they walked, several monkey faunus wearing name tags of the institute hurriedly went down the road in the direction of the Vale Stock Exchange with a huntsman team from Beacon following closely in plainclothes. Compliments of the Flagg Institute in getting the place back up and running after Realm's logic bomb.

"Hey Ade, it's Honara. I'll be waiting for you guys out front by the fountain." the rattlesnake took a seat in front of the three-pillared decoration, using the reflection from thee water running down it to check her hair.

Meanwhile, Estellia led the rest of the party inside. She kept eye on her HUD, still in combat mode, for anyone that could be following them. Using the same trick that kept getting Stalhfritz busted, she had her CATSAI scanning for auras. Naturally, the BCU were very concerned as to who the two strangrs were following her, but a presentation of her ID and an explanation let them into the building.

"Ok, just stay with me, and hopefully nobody will kick you guys out. If anyone asks questions, politely ask for or call me." the Tigress explained as they walked through the atrium. Large holographic display columns lined the corners and employees scurried about the upper levels. On the ground level to the right of the receptionist, the press room was packed full of reporters with burning questions as to why a reputable tech company like Flagg would suddenly lose so much stock value. To the right, a small crowd of potential buyers had to be escorted from the showroom. A young beagle faunus was apologizing profusly for the inconvience as she led them outside with three BCU following.

Stella walked up to the BCU operator who was watching over the elevator, handing her ID to him face-up as Flagg's own version of the De La Croix pass-phrase. Sideways would signal that she was doing this against her own will and would prompt reinforcements to wait at the next door.

The elevators ran along th outside of the building, providing a beautiful view of Vale. Just thing thing Estellia needed to calm her nerves after the whole fiasco. Upon arriving, two Manticore droids stared at the exit with a weapons configuration unlike the ones found on the Lemuria. Newest addition from the labs. Behind an undeployed flash-fabricated barricade sat Hargreave's receptionist who was conversing with yet another reporter. Angry that he still couldn't get an audience with the local director, he stomped back towards the elevator, nearly bumping into Cormac.

"Hey Sini, I'm here to see Director Hargreave. Agent von Anhult's outside waiting for the others." Stella told the receptionist while presenting her ID in a similiar way.

"She's still talking with the suits, so you and your pals'll have to wait." the Gazelle faunus pointed at a series of black leather couched with burshed aluminum end tables lining the wall. Holograms of various institute products, mostly civilian this time, acted as tablepieces. A reinforced glass door stood between Hargreave's office and the waiting area. While transparent, the office was set up in such a way that no one could see through to read lips in addition to soundproofing. Along the wall perpendicular to the waiting area was an automated drink maker complete with robotic barista and holographic Cat faunus. Just going to show that Flagg also made a long line-up of civilian products in addition to weaponry.

"...s-sir, I'd hate to interupt, but the chief of accounting says we've bought back enough stock to maintain our 51% holding. I-I think w-we'll be s-safe from buyouts." a nervous mouse faunus peeked his head through the door of Zephrion's conference room.

"That's all I needed to know. Now, back to work with you." the CEO sent him off before returning to his meeting.

"In all honesty sir, with our tech expo coming up in three months, and the fact that it was obvious that someone hacked th stock exchange, I think we'll be fine." Director Hargreave's hologram said to the board before slightly flickering as an indication that the signal had changed encryption yet again.

"Combined with our humanitarian projects, I don't think we'll have much to worry about in terms of people losing faith." Director Rasch added.

Zephrion nodded beofre checking his scroll for why it had just pinged. It was a text from the head of engineering that he had heard about what had happened and put together a little teaser for the institute's newest personal defence product. He was planning on posting this online to build up a little hype and wanted to make sure that Zephrion was ok with it. simply replying 'yes', the skunk returned to his meeting and steepled his hands. Impressive as it was, all the Realm had suceeded in doing was make it easier for a mass of new buyers to come in. The original shareholders could do as they please.

(If anyone wants to add anything for the other two directors, feel free to. Also, sorry it took this long; blame Reality and the Wiki glitching out.)
