The afternoon heat beat down against the polished surface of the surface of the hotel. There was not much to do here except perhaps drive a couple of kilometers in the sweltering heat to reach the beach, which was also probably packed with others who had the same idea. The room she was in was rather large, after all the Shui-Long chain of hotels were a rather prestigious chain and catered mainly for those who had the money.
Wei Min sat on the sofa, the cool air from from the air conditioner on the ceiling caressing the back of her exposed neck. In the background, she could hear the latest advertisement from PGI playing on the holo-display before her, saying something about the latest hardware which would probably involve the amputation of a limb.
The transaction earlier today had gone smoothly, they had went to meet their client at the forested area near the airport, returned without an incident. Their flight was delayed due to a bomb threat, shifting to the next day. So now they were here, sitting, waiting for something to do which did not involve splitting up or leaving the hotel. She stretched as she got up, an old habit which did not do much for her newer limbs. She moved over to the dining table where Xie sat with her legs crossed on a chair, her fingers tapping idly as she read the feed which passed through her spinal modem, still nothing. No news meant good news, but it also meant everyone was bored.
"I'm going out, for a bit." She announced abruptly, deciding to go down to grab some drinks and tidbits from the underground shopping center's megamarket to keep them occupied until the next day. She picked up a pass card and her wallet, set down her pistol in its holster and made for the door as it seemed that everyone was too busy to note that she had left. The trip down was uneventful, the glass car of the lift did offer some scenery of the next building as it went down, which did not surprise her. The lift chimed as it reached the underground mall and she stepped out of the car.
