"Okay, so we wait for the lift and look innocent," Jaelah sends to Roscoe. "I will start a conversation in a few seconds, so we are talking when the doors open."

You start talking to him and then the lift doors open and two security officers exit, their weapons out. They instantly focus on the two of you. "Hands up! Against the wall! Move!"

Then the stairwell door opens and admits two more security officers who give you the once over and then race to the apartment.

All six of them smile more widely and start advancing on you. "Oh, I believe we can help you, handsome," one of them coos.

That causes some grumbling, but they will summon someone to correct the misunderstanding and get you to one of the larger gambling rooms, though they will make sure you know that you can come back at any time to see them.

The large room is filled with a haze of smoke and there are many tables filled or partially filled with gamblers. Looks like a mob operation.

Arkar leaves a 300 credit tip to the ladies for their help, and gets their contact info.

"What is this? We're just here visiting friends!" Jaelah shows her empty hands, but she doesn't move. She supplements her statement with a strong psionic pulse of utter sincerity.

Their weapons lower. "I see. Which friends so we can add their names to our report?"

"Jusine and Harry Tommerville. We have to go; I have a medical appointment, and I will be late if we don't hurry."

She sends to Roscoe. "Pull up whatever data you can find on those people in case they ask more questions."

“Doing so now. The problem I see is that we are on their body cams and the pair that entered the apartment will be asking them who we were. Even the camera feed might be looked at later. We have to clean this up better or someone will be looking for us.”

A large grin spreads across Walt's face!

"Now we're talkin'." He turns to an attendant "Poker, please."

You will be directed to a table and whatever cash you hand over converted to chips. The short, dumpy woman dealing the cards raises an eyebrow. "Cr10 ante and minimum bet of CR100. Standard rules. Just you or all three?"

There won't be more questions. The officers seem a bit dazed, and you can get on the lift without further problem.
