It was risky showing up on legs to this protest, but Kat had decided to chance it. Her wheelchair was just too bulky and slow for this situation and on top of that she wanted more freedom of movement in case things turned ugly. It had given her nightmares overnight, plagued with dreams of getting caught in the rain or otherwise getting wet somehow and transforming in plain view of everyone. But she'd gone through with it anyway. She'd just have to say today was a good day, and make damn sure she didn't get arrested.
Genetech had been in the news lately thanks to a whistleblower shedding light on their testing practices on animals. She'd been appalled reading the articles in the paper, and when the call went out for people to gather at their offices today to protest she was among the first to sign up. There was an angry energy in the crowd, chanting and waving their signs in the lobby and generally making life miserable for anyone trying to come in or out.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw several men come out a side door. They all had short haircuts and earpieces and dressed in corporate attire. She was by far no expert on humans, but she'd been exposed to enough security types over the last several years to know one when she saw them.
Kat nudged the person next to her and indicated the newcomers with a nod of her head in that direction. "I think we have trouble coming."
