Joe sighed but didn't reply.
"As close to Paris, France as possible, if you could," he said to Maiyeta.

((Oh, Fyrin should also do something.))
Paul kept following the guy they were following.
((See, I don't know if he's going into the room or not, or if he does have identification.))

((I don't know how Marco is going through the base without a disguise...))

((As far as I can tell he's just getting away with it, as he appeared to before. Unless Venom missed something.))

((He's been overlooked. So far.))
"Well, the easiest, most consistent way to do that would be the Alps gate, actually. That would put you fairly close," Maiyeta replied.

The man they were following broke off to a room on the left.

Paul followed closely, looking for all the world like he belonged with him. As they approached the door, Paul put Marco in front of him, then as they reached the door, Paul shoved them both extremely violently into the room, such that neither could lock the door before he entered. He proceeded to enter, whirl, lock the door, then whirl again and draw the Glock from inside his pants. "Not a word, sir," Paul suggested pleasantly.

The man turned pale and stared at the gun.

Joe nodded. "That would do nicely. When can I get going?"
Marco had a knife to the man's throat already.

"Your... your device, give it to our knife-wielding friend, please," Paul added. His eyes swept the room for security cameras or something like that.

"It... it's part of my arm. I can't give it to you," the man replied. There were no cameras. How do you make a steampowered/clockwork camera?
--
"When you catch up with me," Maiyeta answered with a grin, sprinting at the gate.

Hacked together lenses like periscopes, Paul supposed.
"Well then give him something to prove he's CK, if you would. Anything. Got a fancy metal hat like mine?" Paul took a step back, up against the door; he wasn't feeling very trusting of this man. He was either faltering as Paul had or he was making fun of Paul, and if he was making fun of Paul he was fairly confident. On the other hand, he was pale. But it didn't pay to take chances.

"I... no, I can't. I specialize in Augmentations, and I do all my own work. I... I... Ah...." the man was hyperventilating.

"Relax, relax, this is a preparedness test," Paul told the man. "Listen, you're the first one, so no one else can know. But you've gotta have something, anything, that can at least be secured to his body to make him look right, he forgot his armor." Hooray for bluffing.

Joe laughed and took off after Maiyeta. It became immediately obvious that he couldn't keep up with her on foot, so he gathered his mana and blasted off in flight at just above ground level.
Marco released the man, to further the illusion that it was a test.

"I... what? A preparedness test? For what?"
--
Maiyeta looked back at Joe and laughed, putting on a burst of speed.
In a single leap lasting five seconds, she cleared two platforms in one jump.
