<GenderBender> I don't mean Orientation.

<GenderBender> I mean, he's the guy who knows a guy. I want to be that.

<argylecape> Oh!

<argylecape> That's cool.

<argylecape> Good that you know the local superhero, then.

<argylecape> I'll probably have my own projects sometimes but I'm mostly not very good at, uh, networking.

<GenderBender> Yeah, I really like people.

<GenderBender> I'm not sure I can even explain it.

<GenderBender> It's just—the thing Hollister does resonates a lot with me.

<GenderBender> Figure out what people want and need and figure out how to make that a reality.

<argylecape> Yeah

<argylecape> You've been pretty good at that so far that I've seen.

<argylecape> Maybe when this all blows over I'll introduce you to one of the people I was working with earlier

<argylecape> It seems like you two might get along really well with that.

<GenderBender> That sounds great!

<GenderBender> And speaking of, do you need anything?

<argylecape> Hm

<argylecape> Need, no, I don't think so.

<argylecape> I'll need to do a food run soon but that should wait 'till I've found the offices and figured out where I'll be staying near there anyway.

<GenderBender> Fair enough.

<GenderBender> Can I help any with finding the offices?

<argylecape> I expect the address is on the internet

<argylecape> But if you have better information, yeah, that's useful.

<GenderBender> Nah, it is.

<GenderBender> I was actually wondering if you'd want help finding the place where Montgomery actually is, in case it's not there.

<argylecape> I don't think I have enough information to get anywhere with that

<argylecape> But if you have an idea of how to do it, yeah, that'd help.

<argylecape> I can draw you what I do have? But it's barely just the room he's in.

<GenderBender> Yeah that could be useful.

<GenderBender> It also occurred to me that it could be in the Sideways but it doesn't usually have signal.

<GenderBender> On the other hand they're friends with Bedlam.

<argylecape> Yeah.

<argylecape> I wouldn't've been able to tell, either.

<argylecape> Should I draw it now?

<GenderBender> Sure.

And about ten minutes later a sketch appears in his email, unlabeled and obviously drawn on a phone's touchscreen. She explains the color codes she used in the email alongside it.

<GenderBender> Yeah that could be anywhere.

<GenderBender> Sigh. Sorry.

<argylecape> It's fine.

<argylecape> I pretty much already knew that.

<argylecape> I can just keep guessing places until I find it, anyway.

<GenderBender> Yeah.

<GenderBender> Good luck.

<argylecape> Thanks.

<argylecape> It's getting kind of late, we should probably sleep.

<GenderBender> Yeah you're right.

<GenderBender> Good night, then.

<GenderBender> Sleep well.

<argylecape> You too.

In the morning, she looks up the address of Seth Dougal's office, and packs up her things to head over there for a while.

His office is smack dab in the middle of downtown, busiest part of the City, right in the Zag, with cars and people and businesses.

Tunnels run everywhere, though, right?

Yes, just as twisty and windy and impossible to navigate sans technology and/or superpowers as ever.

She will be just fine, then.

She finds a suitable hiding spot and spends an hour settling in, and then around lunchtime heads over to the building in question, to get the most detail about what's going on there.

It's an administrative building, so what's going on there is actually for the most part handling paperwork: these areas are being considered for an upgrade to red-black, this department might need funding, this team is having disciplinary problems...

Neither Dougal nor Montgomery seem to be in the building, though.
