Talia al Ghul has posed:
It's quiet in Gotham. Too quiet. Evne the normal chills and surliness of the city of corruption has gone soft. The campaigning for DA is carrying most attention. And all the other politics. Here.. Here, Talia Al Ghul is not paying attention to any of that. Here.. Here she is tracking someone. Slipping through the streets silently. And for reasons that so far have not been elaborated upon..
    She has talked Lucius Fox to coming with her. Only noting upon being asked..
    'Ninjas'

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox comes for the reason he was asked, he is dressed in a simple black track suit moving with his cane not quickly. He is slow with his movement looking at the woman confused on the why him, but a mystery is going on with that simple phrase. The older man, is moving with her down the street, his other hand is resting inside of his windbreaker holding something tightly with his right hand, he is worried but excited to see these ninjas. His face is concerned, worried, thinking about the mistake he has now made.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would go along and speak to Lucius, "How much familiarity do you have iwth groups like the Hand?" She makes this off the cuff inquiry as she leads him through the streets, seemingly not following anyone, but clearly intent on a general goal. "The Purple Dragons? Kobra? Along those types. Not necessarily purely from files."

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox looks over at Talia with a soft little chuckle, leaning against his cane with a stop of movement to watch her for a long time. "I'm an old man, that builds things and runs a company. The answer is none, that is not my role Miss Ghul. But, you asked me to come and I have come with you, is this danger we are seeking in these darkest nights? I feel, you picked the illest of backup for I'm an old man that had a stroke."

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would nod at Lucius, "I assumed. I wanted you here however for something that's done better in person rather than watching a video of filmed through a drone. Are you familiar with what a chop shop is? Of the body variety, not the vehicle variety."

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox leans against his cane watching her for a long time, silent as he listens to her for a moment with a little chuckle. "The Medical, or the techincal side, there are many criminals that like such a term. It is like they wish for crime to quickly down the drain, so they can get paid. But, do tell me what do you need of me with this drone?"

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would nod, "Oh, very clever. This is a bit more complicated than that." Her going at a pace to let him keep up with his cane. "You've seen groups like the Reavers, and what they do to one another?" Installing cybernetics and weapons prosthetics.

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox looks at her with a nod of his head. "Indeed, I have seen the work. Now, than it is a rough work and quick, not well done most of the time." His hand is moves slowly to tap against his chin, with a little chuckle. "Now than, how did you find this trouble?" He walks slowly with her with the cane, slowly turning it to free the blade inside of it just in case.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would let out a sigh, "Tracking some equipment throughout the city. Groups like the Hand and the Purple Dragons.. The Dragons are an offshoot of a group called th FOot, though they primarily utilize extraterrestrial technology.." She would go on. "The Hand has started working towards upgrading thier own.. Cyberneticists."

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox thinks again slowly moving even slower lost in the thoughts, filing each bit of it away in the vault of his mind. "Many names, many trouble out there it seems in the world of the shadows and blade. Now, than the hand is doing this now, with Revaers or on their own?" He starts to walk slowly his cane is taping against the stone with a worried look around the street.

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would muse, "What the Reavers do with the quality of butchers the Hand is attempting to do so as surgeons. They're not utilizing extraterrestrial technology.. But high grade cbernetics have been moving throughout the city. I require assistance in tracking it."

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox thinks slowly his hand is moves to bring out his cellphone from the pocket of the wind breaker. "Well than, I will need to have a pieces of it. Something to scan, something to help me find what we are looking for, it will take that for me to build a tracker for you. I assume you wish it to be exact not just sort of tracking all cybernetics."

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would nod, "Exactly. The Hand is quite, quite terrifying. THeir rank and file display such nasty abilities such as the ability to spontaneously resurrect themselves mid battle. Them having yet another way to upgrade themselves threatens to unbalance circumstances quite heavily." Wait, spontaneously resurrect?

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox looks over at Talia studying her as he hears the words, but this was a known factor. "Indeed, with that water of the lazarus pit right?" He speaks slowly, he walks forward with his cane is tapping against the ground. "But this would be bad yes, do bring me bits of the what you need to know or anything you can bring me to help the process."

Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would nod, "Oh, this is more than hte Lazarus Pit does. The PIt takes time, extrmee effort, and a great deal of risks. The Hand has somehow taken the process down to where if you gut one of their rankand file during a melee, they will get right back up again. No one that's not a part of their organizatiohas ever figured out.." She would smile over at him. "Thank you. I'll be sure to. THis is something which goes.. Beyond the confines of the city."

Lucius Fox has posed:
Lucius Fox nods slowly moving off with his cane towards his parked limo with a frown stopping to look back at Talia. "Find me what is needed, I will go to the lab and start my work on this, I have ideas but for now they are just that. This is not good, this might cause a ripple, and ripples in gotham's pond are never good. Thank you for alerting me, Miss Ghul. Good hunting." With that he is starting off into the dark.
