Chapter 54: Intercepted

Despite her plan to sneak around on her own, the instant she sets foot in the corridor she's intercepted by the faintly smiling Lilas.

"Miss Gont," the cyborg woman bows her head in greeting as if she didn't just deliver the worst news ever a short time ago. Didi knows it's not Lilas's fault Bo is such a stubborn git, but it's hard not to hold her accountable for delivering the truth. "Elian has asked I escort you anywhere you'd like to go."

So, he has her under guard then, after all. No matter the smooth delivery of the truth. "I'd like to see the whole facility."

Lilas stands aside and gestures for Didi to move on. Either she picked that up from Elian or he from her. Not that it matters, but Didi's is an orderly mind and it's something that will nag her in the quiet moments she has to think of such things. "Nowhere is off limits to you," Lilas says. "Please, begin your exploration as you choose and I will answer whatever questions you have."
