"I don't think so!" shouted Gabriel as she threw her crimson whips towards the trio, including the stranger with the white bandanna (how did she get there?) that stood trapped between her and the Level 4 door with the intent to kill, plans be damned.

Nicholas made a vocalisation that sounded like a nasal 'hmph', which meant that he was annoyed. Well, he wasn't annoyed. Just a bit peeved. He was the kind of person that liked to have the last word in, but such a minor thing doesn't last on Nick for more than a few seconds. In that time, he stood up. "Elsa, save all the data on the new CHEsuit design- god, we need a name for that- and everything related on the microdrive. OPTIMUS, take care of the place while we're gone. MAGNUS, where are you?"

At that last question, MAGNUS rolled up to Nick's feet and looked up expectantly, evaporating any remnants of Nicholas' peeved-ness. Elsa walked towards him afterwards. "Copied," she said simply.

Nicholas looked at her quizzically. "That fast?" Elsa nodded, prompting Nicholas to think for a few moments. After he was done pondering, he shrugged. "Well, anyway, we're ready. Let's head to Venus."

One of the many teleporters on the docks suddenly came to life, buzzing with photon energy. Passer-bys looked at it curiously, wondering who would be coming through. Their curiosity was sated moments later when two figures appeared inside the device. One was a man in his late 40s who wore very distinguishable glasses but looked rather tired. The other was a woman in her early 30s who was carrying a small spherical robot. After their brief analysis, the onlookers got bored and went off to do whatever they were doing before.

Nick turned to Elsa. "Well, let's go," he said before he began to walk.

Elsa nodded and placed MAGNUS on the ground to let it roll on its own before they followed him.
