"List in order of your best guess at priority."

"Hologram bombs. Cameras recording how you operate. Getting his slightly less useless partner to attack you."

"What do hologram bombs do?"

Permalink

"Explode but wimpier. Push you around, maybe hurt a bit."

Permalink

"Second thing."
She just bombed a city. That's a Birdcaging. And outsmarting the disembodied voice eventually is inevitable.
Permalink

"Is there a place I could send you to wait for me where no one else would find you in at least the next hour or two?"

Permalink

"Yes." She gives the location of an ABB formerly-safe house that should be unoccupied.

Permalink

"Will anything unpleasant happen to me if I go meet you there later?"
