Emily gives Kronner a long stare.  "I've got a file you've all read don't I.  Why so interested?  I would think you've got access to everywhere.  Or that you could just ask yourself."

"Oh, I'm just the handyman," Jameson says with the sort of smirk that tells Emily that he knows damn good and well that she doesn't believe that for a second, and doesn't care, "Handymen aren't generally welcome in multi-billion dollar laboratories with biometric locks."

His head tilts very slightly, "Would you like to read your file? I can get you a copy. Consider it the second half of the payment for your services. That's a more fair exchange, don't you think?"

"If you've got my file you've got others.  I want a copy of everyone's.  A couple more minutes at a photocopier shouldn't be a problem for you.  You're already making the trip after all."

Jameson chuckles, "I like you. You have guts. Fine then. A look inside the box now, a copy of all the kid's files later, and all you have to do is tell me if that container is in the lab somewhere, or not. And I assume you know better than to tell anybody how you got them. Do we have a deal?"

He holds the box out that much closer to Emily.

Emily reaches out to snatch the box and look inside.  "Deal."

Irritatingly enough, inside the brown cardboard box is a large number of smaller boxes, no bigger than the palm of Emily's hand. Inside those, however, is a very tiny electrical device roughly the size of an USB thumb drive, with some wires coming out of one end and an extremely small camera on the other side.

A sneer works its way across her face as Emily holds up a camera.  "Not particularly.  I'm sure you do though."  Emily hands the box back and turns on her heel walking away with quick measured steps.  "Get my papers.  This shouldn't take too long on my end."

Emily spends several minutes making her way back and then in a few in her room flipping through her homework again.  Finally she gets up and makes her way toward the lab stopping shy of the doors.  Once there she leans against a wall and stares off into space with the occasional twinge of anger or fear on her face the only sign that she's thinking at all.

Emily notices more of the miniature cameras pointed at the door to the lab well before she would have stepped into their field of vision. She thinks.

There are lots and lots of glass objects in the lab, but after a few minutes of careful listening, she hears it: the dull throbbing music of thick, aquarium style glass, four panes of it in close proximity to each other, each about two meters tall and one across.

Emily raises an eyebrow but waits for a moment longer.

Eventually with a sigh she shoves herself off the wall and turns sharply.  She makes her way back outside after a few minutes of wandering and with a slight look of distaste enters the combi-building.

Closing the door softly Emily makes her way outside the combi-building and sits on the ground softly.  Opening her backpack she takes out her light homework for the first week and starts double checking her work with the occasional pause to glance at the Mountains and the desert landscape.

Eventually giving up on simply waiting Emily gets up and heads back to the Mansion.

A few hours later after she finds herself back in the Arts Room quietly practicing.  Every few minutes she gives an annoyed sigh as she plays.  Again and again she plays the same thirty second snippet slowly perfecting the piece.

Emily didn't hear him enter, but all of a sudden she notices that Jameson is in the room, watching her play.

Emily jumps slightly throwing out a discordant note. She shoots Jameson a glare.  "I'm guessing you like to sneak up on people?"  She puts down the violin gently.  "I did my part.  What about you?"

He holds up a thick document envelope, the kind that tie closed with string. It's too thin to hold all that many files, though.

"I just didn't want to interrupt such lovely music, and before you say anything, the paper is just sheet music. The files are on the disc. It is twenty fifteen, after all."

"You're giving a disc to the homeless runaway with no electronics to her name?  Plus if it's twenty fifteen shouldn't you be using a flash drive or something then?  Or the whole cloud or something?"

Emily carefully puts the violin away back in its case.  "I don't have any way to read that.  At least not without a computer the school provides me and I'm guessing you don't want me using that either."

"And I suppose I've got to take your word for it?  That everything is there?"  Emily gives him a look of distaste that turns almost contemplative.  Finally her eyes harden.

"On the flipside if you were setting up all this surveillance legit for the program it would have already been done before there was a risk of a student catching you in the act. You don't want that information leaking anymore than I want to to get ripped off do you?"

Emily lets the statement hang in the air longer than is comfortable.  "Yeah.  There's a tank in there.  And yeah I do realize that it's just the right size to go all bad sci fi movie on one of us."

Jameson continues laughing for a while, shaking his head towards the end.

"Girl, you have the right attitude for this line of work, that's for sure. But you lack experience. Those cameras belong to the school. The NSA gave them to us and said, 'Use these on your campus.' So we did. They make for a nice CCTV security system when you wire them up right. Professor Henningsen asked me to bring her the box of spares for something, some project of hers. Getting information out of that bitch is like pulling teeth from a toddler, though, so I didn't even ask," he says, and then turns to leave.

He stops and looks back over his shoulder after a couple steps and adds, "If my other boss is right, you'll know what's in that tank if you go through that disc thoroughly enough."

Then he starts off again, putting his hands in his pockets, and whistling the tune Emily was practicing.

Emily watches him leave for a moment with a look of disgust before snatching the envelope up.  Opening it carefully she examines the sheets and disc before stowing them away and leaving to look for Tony.
