Nora smiled and said, "I have a sixth sense about these things." She was surprised that Vincent could maintain such a good attitude when talking about someone who stole one of his products. Nora would have broken into Daté's home and tortured him till he begged for death if he had stolen one of her inventions, but that was just how Nora was. She didn't really expect Vincent to be similar in that respect. Hearing Rissa say something about an appointment, she glanced out into the dining room and said, "I don't have any appointments. Completely unplanned visit." She flipped the pancakes over and listened to Vincent's proposition for her commission. She couldn't help but grin when Vincent explained what she would be doing. "Mister Myriot, I must say, you do know how to present a girl with a gift. You are in luck, as I just so happened to finish up a prior project the other day. So, since I'm free, I can take on this request." Nora slid the pancakes off the griddle and onto a plate. She handed it to Vincent, smiled lightly and said, "Syrup is on the table, your place has already been set." She snapped her fingers and the robots in the kitchen began cleaning up the kitchen.
Nora went to the fridge and poured Vincent a glass of milk as well; whether or not he drank it was his own problem. She headed into the dining room and sat down at her place. Before starting in on her food, she said, "Vincent, meet my friend Rissa. Rissa, meet Vincent Myriot." She cut a piece of her pancakes off and ate it, smiling as she chewed her food. She paused to take a sip of her drink and then said, "I don't normally talk business while eating, but this is quite a proposition. You do understand that I will be setting the terms of our arrangement? Also be aware that my contract states that I keep a prototype of whatever I create, and that I should be given credit only in the fine print. You're free to slap your name all over whatever I make, so long as I hold the patent and the copyright." Nora took another bite of her food, letting Vincent process what she had said. Of course, what he didn't know was that the "prototype" that Nora would be keeping would be more advanced than the "finished product" that she would be handing over to Vincent. After pausing for what she figured was a good enough time; she felt that Vincent was no idiot rich boy, she continued. "That said, this project will be a major undertaking, and I won't be able to put a deadline on this. It will be done, when it is done. I won't take you for a ride and steal your money, I will make this for you, but I work better without corporate restrictions like deadlines. Now... the specifics."
Nora took another bite of her pancakes and thought for a moment, before saying, "I won't bore you with the geek-speak, but is there anything specific you would like me to put in place? I would need to know any limitations and things that should and should not be implemented in this project." Despite her business like words, Nora's attitude and tone were that of excitement and anxiousness. She wanted to test her hand at this project, she wanted to create a digital frontier, and see if she could make it as awe inspiring as it was for her when she first saw the movie Tron.

Vince's smile widened ever so slightly when Nora finally replied. Closing his eyes and tilting his head to the side, the billionaire simply stayed where he was leaning on the kitchen counter. "Great! I was hoping you'd say that." he stated. He didn't move until Nora passed him the plate with his pancakes on it. Standing up, he took the plate. "Thank you." he replied to the courtesy Nora was providing by serving him lunch. He gave her a nod before turning to head to the table where he saw Nora's friend seated. He gave Rissa a smile and a small wave when Nora introduced him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Rissa." Vince said, moving to sit at the seat where he was supposed to sit as indicated by Nora.
Once seated, he allowed Nora to place the glass of milk in front of him. He gave her a brief smile in thanks as Nora detailed the circumstances of the contract. "I actually know the details of your contract, Ms Kain. I've heard from my research and the grapevine about your dealings." He supposed there was a reason behind her keeping the prototype for herself. He had done the same with any projects he developed personally. Vincent kept the prototypes with some of the better stuff built in for his private use, and mass produced the regular ones. So it wasn't unlikely that Nora had that instituted on her own contracts as well.
"Oh don't worry about the details." Vincent stated with a shrug as he began to cut his stack of pancakes into pieces. "I'll be working with you on the project, so everything should run relatively smoothly." He could tell from her tone that she was very excited about the project and he was as well.

Nora nodded when Vincent said he understood her contract terms. It was unbearable sometimes when she had to explain her contract to people who thought they could simply pay her for her inventions; Nora felt that her inventions were worth more than just money. Nora continued eating as Vincent spoke, and suppressed a cough when he said that he would be working with her on the invention. She took a drink of her glass of milk and cleared her throat a bit before replying, her tone no longer displaying excitement or eagerness, "I'm sorry, but that's impossible. I work better alone." Nora said this because her lab in which she worked on her inventions was in her subbasement, it was her own bat-cave, and only she and Exadi knew about it. Vincent wasn't an idiot, he would probably be able to tell that she was doing something a lot more substantial than making things as a private contractor. "I have a few other projects in my lab that belong to some of your competitors, highly secretive and I'd be breaking the terms of my contract if you saw those." She hoped he would see reason and just leave it; Nora disliked complications.

Vincent continued eating as if nothing was out of the ordinary. At one point he stopped eating and looked up at the ceiling as if in thought. It wasn't that he hadn't heard what Nora said. He was sure that she was grateful that she didn't have to explain the terms of her contract to him. However, when she declined his offer to help her with the project, Vincent looked back down at her, a serious expression on his face. He understood her reasons behind not wanting him down in her lab. But was it impossible for her to hide said projects from him? It wasn't like Vincent was the type of person to steal other peoples' ideas. "You think I would stoop to Date's level and steal another corporation's ideas?" Vincent asked simply, tilting his head to the side slightly as he processed Nora's instructions. "Do I really seem to be that much of a douche...?" he asked, still being very serious and slightly hurt that Nora would think that of one of the only honest billionaires still in existence would steal ideas from someone else. If he didn't think of an idea for a product first, so what? He could always expand upon that person's idea, right? "But I clearly am not able to prove anything to you about myself as you hardly know anything about me except the fact that I run the second largest company in the city." With that, Vincent fell silent. Besides, he had his ways of getting Nora to work on his project with him. "We don't have to work in your lab by the way. I have my own lab at him own house that we can use." he stated, taking a sip of his glass of milk and gazing over the top of it at Nora.

Serilda Madde - The Rogue
While rushing through the shadows of New york, the mission was simple and easy. It was to retrieve a stolen package that was given to Mr. Young 1 month ago. During his trip to Las Vegas he was called in by a non-number on the phone and was told to pay up a stack of gold blocks in return for this package. Thinking through her head while leaping and grabbing onto a pole that was sticking out of a side wall of the building she used it to whirl herself around until she made the choice to release and fly into the air while twisting her body to change the altitude of her landing she landed quite gracefully and kept on going while leaping over to another roof top, and another keeping her pace she stopped at the ledge of the last and began to take out her binoculars while scoping into the distance of the warehouse which said 4389. "This must be the place." As she stood she began to jump into the air and took out a whip and whipped it at the side pole on the other side of the intersection and whipped herself again like a whirl and release into the air and landed on top of another roof top, this time she was closer and made arrangements, as she took out her cell she called the pizza delivery and told him the address. While making her move it takes about 45 minutes for the guy to around so it would give her enough time to infiltrate the warehouse undetected.
(guy to around is guy to get their.)

Nora sighed when Vincent asked if she thought he was as much of an a** as Date was. When she had met him, he didn't seem that bad truthfully, but she wasn't going to say that, "I never said that. I just meant that it would be rather irresponsible of me to let someone I don't even know into my private lab where I keep various technology I'm creating for their competitors." Nora took another bite of her pancakes and paused, thinking over what he said. She sighed lightly and said, "I'm not too sure about that, frankly, I'm not sure your hardware could handle it. If you'd allow me to see your lab and see what kind of tech you've got there, I might be able to work with it." Nora hoped she could dissuade Vincent from trying to work together with her, she didn't like it when things got complicated. If push came to shove, she would have to make due with Vincent's lab or if it really seemed that bad, she might bring him down to her lab, she'd cover up everything that would point to her other occupation. She might have Exadi act like a dumbed down version of herself, just to keep the ruse that she wasn't as advanced as she seemed. But Nora was getting ahead of herself, "How much involvement do you plan on having with this project Vincent? I'm assuming you won't be boring yourself with the quadrillions of lines of code that will be needed to simply construct the skeleton of this endeavor..."

Placing his glass down on the table top, Vincent smiled at Nora's answer. He had figured that she hadn't meant he was as bad as Date was. She was just being true to her promises to the other people she had projects being completed for. Vincent liked that she kept her promises. "True. I was just asking to see if you were true to your word to your employers. If you weren't I'd take my idea elsewhere." Vince stated simply before taking another bite of his pancakes. He was slowly finishing the meal Nora had made for him. "Well honestly, my hardware can handle some of the design aspects. Not the coding. Which is why I came to you for help. I was hoping that I could work alongside you and learn some of the coding myself as well." This was the truth oddly enough. When Vincent started up a project that was his idea, he liked to see it through until it was completely finished. Well, that was if it was truly interesting enough like this Tron-based one. If it was a minor thing, he didn't mind handing it off to someone else and letting them take the reins. When he had finished his pancakes, Vince placed the fork and knife down on the plate quietly. "Well then, I better get going. I have some body guards to confuse." The billionaire said with a casual smile as he stood up from his chair. "Thank you very much for your hospitality and the good food."

Mouth slightly full of food Rissa simply nodded to Nora's guest as he joined them for breakfast/lunch. There seemed to be very little room for her in the conversation as Nora's buisness mumbo jumbo came into play along with her technical terms of sorts, but Rissa did not want to be rude and leave the table and Nora's guest, if she had learned one thing from the business meetings Han had invited her to, patience and manners were huge when it came to transactions like these. it was nice to see Nora was always busy, she deserved all the credit and work she did, and Rissa was probably one of the only people who could tell her true love was in computers, Partying a close second. she sighed lightly as the conversation reminded her of more she did not want to reflect on again, and just before she could try to excuse herself Nora's guest stood, "Body guards? ha, those guys usually have their heads to far up their own asses to realize they are being messed with." she covered her mouth realizing what she had said and blinked at Nora as she turned red, "er, sorry Im an officer of the law... i know so many body guards it isn't funny" she sighed and stared at her plate.

(Serilda Madde - Rogue)
After a few minutes later, Serilda finally made her move, when their were three guards in the opening, 1. Was to distract a foe, 2. Use Quantum and Boundary. 3. Stun them unconscious. 4. Bring them together, 5. Toss them one by one in the trash. 6. Close the Trash cargo and seal it shut with Electromagnetic field. 7. Send a pulse to their brains and let them sleep for another 5 hours. Getting her plan into motion she started off with the friendly approach and began to leap down landing carefully on the ground. Walking behind target 1. Serilda just wapped the side of his neck to put him asleep. "Thats 1" as she saw target 2 coming over to find his friend on the ground out cold. Using the silent treatment she appeared behind him and did the same method. "That's 2" Now number three? Standing their a man pointed a gun at the back of her head and clicked. Using the field around her she shock the guy before he could fire. "and that's 3" sighs, getting the legs of one male with her she started off to drag one and used her field to pick up the rest and started to open the trash cargo she dropped the two first slowly and the last tossed him in, closing the lid she began to seal it tightly she used this type of tool that she melt the metal both together. "And their is three piggies trapped. Now. to retrieve the package." as she started off hearing a car coming in stopping, she saw it was the pizza guy and her plan was proceeding quite well. She started to go through a vent and began to move in quietly. (Got annoyed by Gradient Text)

Nora was glad to hear that Vincent wouldn't press the issue of her lab any further. She nodded at Vincent's explanation of what he thought his software could handle. She smiled lightly and said, "We'll see how much your processors can handle before they catch fire. I suppose I should pay for any damages your computers incur from my work." She chuckled lightly at Rissa's outburst, knowing that her friend was feeling a little left out of the conversation. Nora stood up, snapped her fingers and her and Vincent's empty plate and dirty utensils were picked up by various robots which carried them to the sink in the kitchen. "You're very welcome Vincent, any time you want some good food and a bit of techno speak, stop by." She led Vincent to the door and opened it for him before saying, "If you're lucky, I might even upgrade your operating systems on your lab computers for you. I have a feeling this is going to be an interesting project to say the least." Nora shut the door behind the billionaire and sighed lightly, turning back to the table and sitting next to Rissa when she reached it. "Sorry I kind of left you in the dust back there. You know how I get when I'm talking about computers." She hugged her friend and sighed again, "Looks like I'm not going to have much free time for a while..." Nora pondered how much time she would have and lightly leaned on her friend, her hair falling on Rissa's shoulder. Now that she thought about it, there was something strange about Vincent, but she couldn't quite place it.

Rissa nodded to Nora "don't worry, i wasn't going to leave without saying good bye" she smiled as Vincent left, "i was considering helping u clean up, but... " she looked back to the bots that finished clearing the table, "it seems that it isn't necessary" she said mindlessly patting one on the top as it passed by. wrapping her arms around herself for a moment thinking of Han, "I-im gonna go ahead and go home too then, let you work on your project" she said remembering the usb card Nora had supplied her with, "maybe ill check the file to see if i can find Han myself, thanks a bunch Nora, i don't know what i would do without you" she said and hugged her friend before going back up stairs to get her stuff, Nora would be busy now as she had mentioned before, so Rissa figured she should do something as well, despite the mandatory three weeks leave that her superior had directed her to do.

(Serilda - Rogue)
After taking swift action, Serilda made her move inside the silent vent, and began to crawl quietly towards her main destination. Slowly feeling a vibration in her pocket she took it out and looked at the message. putting it back to her pocket she started off while placing a microphone to her ear she began to speak through with Mr. Young. "Yes, I understand Mr. Young, I'm just below the packages. Don't worry I will retrieve your lost package and bring it to the destination. Don't worry I'm one of the best." Tapping her intercom on her right ear she began to move slowly, looking she began to stop and sat while using her ability to extract the screws and slowly removing the vent, to peek out. Looking around she started to step out and started to make her move in the darkness. "Such idiots" taking a took from her outer pocket she started to place a right night vision goggle piece and started to turn it on while looking through the darkness. "I see 3 guards only, how should I do this."
