After the Vykker and slig left, Aida merely went on her way. She had looked at the map long enough to determine where she should go. Soon she found herself nearing the Executive offices, but could hear a lot of noise coming from nearby. Curious, she approached the group but paused at a distance. There were a lot of being gathered there...
... A lot of them were sligs...
Perhaps it would be best if she waited until they thinned out a bit. Finding a spot near the door, she stood against the wall, prepared to either wait for the group to disperse or to bolt if the sligs decided to gang up on her.
