May 28th: What's this then?

[Aiden Mitchell]

Aiden landed on the quad the ground shaking slightly as he did so.

[Douglas Decker]

Doug raised an eyebrow.

"As inconspicuous as ever, Mr. Mitchell."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"I try, but being subtle never was my forte," Aiden said dryly before beginning to shift back to his human shape.

[Douglas Decker]

"We noticed."

[Aiden Mitchell]

After a moment Aiden stood in front of Doug wearing his acolyte uniform.

"Most of the city noticed I imagine, as they do every time I fly through it," Aiden said, "They have not complained as of yet."

[Douglas Decker]

"Operative world being 'yet'."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"True, but I cannot please everyone," Aiden said, "And even if it were possible to I doubt it word be worth the amount of effort that would be necessary."

[Douglas Decker]

"Very true," Doug nodded.

[Aiden Mitchell]

"I also don't like the public transit here," Aiden smiled.

[Douglas Decker]

"As opposed to the public transit where, exactly?"

[Aiden Mitchell]

"It is entirely possible I simply do not like public transportation," Aiden said.

[Douglas Decker]

"An opinion you would not be alone in."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"You would think they would at least try to make it appealing," Aiden said, "But what brings you out to the quad?"

[Douglas Decker]

"It's the most efficient way to get from the north to the south campuses."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"Is it?" Aiden asked.

[Douglas Decker]

"Yes, given the givens."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"Which givens are those?" Aiden asked.

[Douglas Decker]

"That not all of us can fly."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"Flying that short of a distance is a waste of energy to tell you the truth," Aiden said, "Probably better if you could teleport from one side to the other."

[Narrator]

"Indeed. Shortest distance between two points is zero."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"Right," Aiden said, "Teleporters are the ones who really have it easy. No need to run to take off and you don't have to worry about crashing into trees."

[Douglas Decker]

"Yes, I know. Normally quite convenient."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"Normally?" Aiden asked.

[Douglas Decker]

"When your target region is noted as dangerous, it is best to take the old fashioned route."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"Are you going to the Danger Room?" Aiden asked, "Otherwise I can't think of too many places that would be overly dangerous to appear in other than the holding cells."

[Douglas Decker]

"No. The target area appears to be infected, so I am going to check it out in space."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"Infected?" Aiden asks.

[Douglas Decker]

"Computer fault. Weird data on the system."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"And it is preventing you from teleporting in?" Aiden asked.

[Douglas Decker]

"Would you like to fly into an area actively on fire?"

[Aiden Mitchell]

"I would, but I get your point," Aiden said, "I just didn't realize that a computer anomaly could interfere with teleportation."

[Douglas Decker]

"It does if you go through the computers."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"I can imagine," Aiden said, "Do you know where it came from?"

[Douglas Decker]

"That way."

[Aiden Mitchell]

"Do you mind if I follow you?" Aiden asked, "I'm finding myself somewhat intrigued."

[Douglas Decker]

"Not at all."
