Jason seemed to relax a little when he saw the girl in front of him, at least until he heard she took his weapons apart. Again, he didn't seem to like that. They were so eager to dismantle and learn from what they had taken from him and were probably already making weapons of the sort as they spoke. He needed those weapons to defend himself across the country so he could get back home. Yea, he didn't fully trust them before, but Jen made him trust them just enough for this to feel like some form of betrayal. He probably should have seen it coming. From one organization to the next, he was just a tool to be used, whether by ability or what assets he had. It wasn't like he could even do much to stop them from just tearing his armor apart either, if they wanted to. In the end, he trusted these people less now than before.
"You took them apart? Where are they?", Jason coldly asked Network, returning to his rather aggressive posture.

Everyone seemed to relax a bit when Jason calmed down whenever Network had entered the room. Seeing Jason relax his stance allowed them to do the same. however the moment he tensed up again, the others went back on the defensive as well. Before they could act however, Network quickly turned her attention to them. "Don't, It's alright , there's no need to worry." she said in an attempt to pacify them before returning her gauze to Jason. "I'll show you where they are, please come with me." she requested of him before taking hold of her joystick and turning her chair to face to her right side. Once she knew Jason was following her, she would take off.

"I's really gonna hope you's know where tha' is, 'cause I's certainly 'dun." Koi replied. But at least there were to be vehicles ahead. While she wasn't big on stealing, or hot-wiring cars, she understood their necessity in their scenario. If that blur was something government-related... She swallowed on how difficult it would to get out of here if that were the case. She was already mentally preparing herself for that moment, and hoped it came later rather than sooner.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

It seemed Jason was still rather tense and a little angry about having his guns taken apart, but when he was told that she was going to bring him to his guns, he accepted. He followed immediately after her in a slightly less threatening way than before, but anyone perceptive could tell he was a bit agitated.

As Jason and Network left, the doors behind them closed. Standing with his back against the wall. the esper known as stalker went from being transparent to slowly reviling himself. He had been watching Jason from the moment he entered the base. "So we're following them right?" he asked once he was sure Jason couldn't hear him.
Alex who had gotten comfortable in his chair was sitting up a bit more now. He doubted Jason would actually do anything to network, but he had learned not to blindly trust anyone. "We probably should send someone after them." he said before looking over at Jenny and Misaka. "Can you handle it?" he asked seeming t be talking to either of them.

Meanwhile Network's chair moved at about the normal walking pace for a human. As they moved by, Jason would have seen a small rec room with glass walls around it, inside there was a coffee machine along with a few food vending machines, four micro waves a sink and a refrigerator. There were two table inside each capable of seating up to six people. to the right there were small residential rooms. They were small and only held two to four beds each. they seemed more like temporary sleeping quarters than anything someone would us long term.
At the end of the hall were a set of large steel doors that were mechanically locked. When they reached them, she stopped and moved her chair over to one side where she could unlock and open the door through their terminal. She was quietly opening up the door until.... "You're wrong you know. They didn't betray you. My orders were to make sure the weapons weren't bugged, it was my idea to take them apart and reverse engineer them. Don't hold it against Alex and Jenifer." she quietly said as she finished putting in the code to unlock the door. In a moment the first set of steel doors would open, reviling a second set.

"Got it.", Jennifer said as she moved from beside Alex towards the door. If there was one thing Jennifer knew, it was that she had the best chances of stopping the soldier if things got out of hand.

Jason followed closely behind, taking notice of the various commodities this place had. The more he saw, the more it confirmed to him that these people were BAAAAAAAAAAARELY a militarized operation. In truth, these people may very well be a collection of civilians that decided to play a part in the conflict. Once they reached the door, these thoughts dissipated and his primary focus took root again, getting his weapons back. He was very still, very quiet as he waited for the door to open, but he wasn't expecting for the girl in front of him to speak. Even more so, he couldn't tell whether she was speaking after observing what had happened and deducing things from there, or if she had some way of reading his mind. Of course, she was not in the room when most of the conflict had transpired...
Was she capable of reading minds? Jason at least knew who was invading his mind while they were on the surface, digging through his memories. Now was just the verbal confirmation.
"So you're the mind reader.", Jason calmly yet somewhat coldly said. It didn't sound like he was angry at her or was overly aggressive, but it was clear he was rather standoffish with her.

As Jenny left through the lab door, Stalker quickly followed suit, running to catch up o her and then slowing down once he was by her side. Jenny woudld have seen bothhis and her body go transparent, allowing them to more secretly follow Jason without being seen. It would be up to the two of them to keep their distance and stay quiet.
Meanwhile Jason would have seen the first door slide open, being three inches of solid reinforced steel. Behind the first door was yet another identical door that opened only after the first door was completely opened. The door it seemed was designed to only open if the first door properly opened to a certain point, meaning it would stay closed if the first door were forced open or broken.
"That I am." she confirmed, not seeming to afraid or upset. She was oddly calm fr someone in her position. "Sorry, I can usually keep myself from passively reading the minds of others, but this past hour and a half have been rather taxing on my mind. I'm quite exhausted." she explained before moving her chair back to line herself up with the door and moving forward again.

Having him' say that and his annoyed expression nearly caused her to break character, it did make her frown though, albeit a more pout than anything. she would then look around her armour, luckily capable of sending a few of her nano-drones to double check the more hard to reach areas, even taking off her helmet in the process, course revealing her wacky coloured (cough purple cough) hair. she also takes note of the 013 brand on hajime's hand before noticing one on her helmet, giving it a good hard smack. This action causes a loud thud and a small 'ow' from her mouth as she continues to investigate.
((will post for resteraunt later))

Jason watched as the door opened, how despite the casual, almost homey feeling in this bunker, it was still just that, a fortified bunker. He was about to ask Network if she was the one invading his mind earlier, but when she mentioned that she couldn't stop passively reading minds at the moment, there was almost a sudden flash of slight panic in Jason's mind as he asked himself what she could have read, all before his mind began to set up distractions to stop her from reading more personal information about him. After a few seconds, Jason gathered the resolve to continue his line of questioning, focusing hard on the words he was asking, rather than their content.
"So why were you rooting around my mind earlier?", Jason asked rather standoffishly. Although he thought about the words he said, there were still small flashes of what he may have been talking about, at the very least, how her voice in his head was not her own.
Meanwhile, Jennifer was hiding with Stalker about 10 feet away, carefully listening to the two. She didn't think Jason would really do anything to hurt her, but regardless she did not want to be proven wrong.

Network started to lead Jason through the doors and down the next hall, going slow enough that Jenny and Stalker would have been able to follow at their current pace easily enough without the doors shutting on them. However when Jason asked his next question, she stopped. She rotated the front of her chair to face him with a rather confused look on her face, head slightly tilted. "Rooting around? I was just sending you information. I mean sure I saw a few things while I was in there but It's not like i was scouring the darkest depths of your mind for secrets." she told him in a very genuine sounding voice.
Meanwhile Stalker was quietly following along next to Jenny. Although his job got a bit difficult the further they walked. Jenny would have felt Stalker's hand brush by her heair before landing on her shoulder. He traced her arm with his hand going all the way down to her hand so he could hold it. Hopeflly she woudln't tease him too much for this later but he was sure she'd understand why.
