"...Okay, less straightforward than I thought."

"Give me the top three names."

She rattles them off.

"Alright. Locations of active labs?"

"They keep it mobile, and my last solid information is months out of date."

Jayce casually taps the panel by the elevator, and it obligingly opens for him. 

"... never mind."
