Mickey stood off to the side, periodically nudging his ear with his hand, trying to keep the music going when the news feeds bubbled up, wanting his attention. A sharp sound of an alarm sent his senses inward, his body stilling, eyes going up and disfocused as he sought sense from the ping. Something was important, something tripped an alert...

He murmured under his breath as he listened to the news spot, not realizing he spoke aloud. "Word reporter here, live on the spot. I'm seeing some smoke coming out of the underground here." Mickey made a noise of frustration, turning as if seeking an image to go with the sound and words he was saying. "It's unclear exactly what's going on, but the police appear to be evacuating area residents from Pioneer Square just over the--" a small hiccup, his voice rising rapidly as the words poured unwittingly from mind to mouth, "Joker Underground. I don't see any jokers here, even though there's some talk on the street already about a registration bill."

His gaze snapped back into almost focus abruptly, turning as if to look at the others, even though his gaze didn't settle on anything but the wall beyond. He rocked from foot to foot, hands clamped in agitation. "What is that smoke coming from? Are we looking at terrorist activity? Police aren't- wait, no, I'm a reporter. I have a right to be here. Wait, no..."

He went silent, both hands coming up to press against his eyes, then digging at his ear. "No, no, I need more. Where is it, why can't I get it when I want it. Damnit I need that back."

	"Give me a moment," Ganesh answered but he was already digging in his pocket for a screwdriver even as he held out his hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He dropped the dot into Ganesh's hand and hopped up neatly to sit on the table in anticipation of his discovery. "Good catch, Zed. Thanks, man." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ganesh turned over the small device in his hand, squinting as he analyzed the metal used. It was unfamiliar to him and that alone told him that this was something much bigger than all of them. He pressed the screwdriver against a small seam, a grin of satisfaction answering when the back snapped open. A quick flick and he was holding a small silver sphere up to the light.

"A bug," he said. There was no point in trying to mask that it had been discovered. If anyone was listening, they already knew.

	Del blinked. "Someone's listening in?" He paused and leaned back on his hands. "I guess that isn't surprising, really. Since they aren't here to chat us up." "You look surprised at it. You never seen anything like that before?" Del added after a moment, the smile of triump descending into something more thoughtful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Not like the metal." His fingers brushed it for a moment before setting it on the table. "If it is metal and not something else." Whatever the device was made of, Ganesh thought, it wasn't available to his corporation and likely, not to any others.

He pried open the microphone, shredding the wires inside neatly before sliding it into his pocket. As far as he could tell, it wasn't a tracking device. And even if it was, well... they knew him anyhow.

	"Hey," Del called out as Ganesh took his screwdriver to the interior. "Why did you--" There was a crowd gathering and it finally pulled enough at his attention to get him to turn his head. "Did I miss something?" he asked, more to himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Only the end of the world," Tom joked. "Well, the end of the Joker Underground," he said, more seriously. "The Wild Card Acts have been signed back into law. There are protests happening, and the police are coming down. There's smoke coming from the Joker Underground. JT thinks we should try asking the bug questions to see if it answers."

	"Well I don't think it'll actually answer," JT interjects, "just that we might get a response if we ask for one." (Reply to this) (Parent)
