The Airport - Virtual City Scape

Someone already had the airport. This just wouldn't do. Time to find out who, and see about exerting just a tiny bit of control.

In quick succession, the screens surrounding the Nosferatu changed unbidden by their owner.

"Son of a bitch"

She'd been through this kind of thing before. She just started typing.

I was good. Now not so much.

The text scrolled again, one letter at a time, one screen to the next.

Each screen ended in succession, leaving the center-most cluster with a number of different-sized question marks.

She snarled softly, then typed her response.

You have my attention, but I'm not quite sure what you mean.

There was a noticable pause as the last line of letters faded.

Fuck this typing thing.

"Yeah, I agree. And I'm going to swear like a sailor when someone takes over my computer systems. I know I'm not the best, but I have my place in the pantheon."

She paused.

"I do not ask your name, but have our paths crossed that you know who I am?"

The type consolidated to a single screen directly infront of her.

She snorted.

"Not really. But then, I have no idea if you're friendly or not."

The text seemed to stay to the same screen for the time being.

"You know who I am. You know what my job is. The airport is a rather large area that I would wish to watch, just to keep the Domain safe. Thus my question of whether you were friendly or not. I do not wish to take over property owned by another, simply to keep my home safe."

She stared at the screen for a moment, not so much wondering how the person on the other end of the screen knew that, but...

"Why the hell does he think he can get away with that? And why the hell does he want to. Idiot."

"I don't want him dead, but the no fly list would be fun. I'd love to see the reactions of the Tremere when he fails at bringing back one of their own."

There was a pause as the screen faded momentarily.

She laughed.

"I have a feeling we already are. You do what you think is best."

There was a long pause before the reply came.

There wasn't even a pause.

"Thank you, but no. I follow in my lover's footsteps. I am quite happy the way I am."

There was a brief pause.

And after another few seconds, the screens all returned to normal.

Once the screens were back to normal, she spoke again.

"I'll let you keep your secrets for now, curious stranger. Let's see where this goes."
