(well, clovie, change that, it's upon you 😛)
The guard leaded her to the end of the corridor, behind a dark, wooden door. He knocked but received no reply. "That's weird, I was under the impression that Professor Yang's secretery was waiting for you" he said to Kiara, looking slightly concerned. "Wait here a bit, I'll go check what's going on".
Dorian left, telling her once more to stay where she was. Yeah, right. As if she was going to do that. When he took the elevator down, Kiara approached another door to her left, made of some sort of thick material. She tried to look through the glass on top of it, but noticed a movement behind her: the wooden door was opening.
Quickly, she left from the door and casually stood where the guard had left her. A man in a white rob appeared. "Miss Myers? I've been expecting you, please, come in".
As Kiara followed him to the big office, she realised he definitely wasn't Professor Yang cause, well ... Yang was supposed to be Chinese.
SS > You're in, person didn't notice anything, you can put holes in him...
Clovie > erm...write you do find something? 😖
Evy > Woops! Alarmbells go off in your head!!!! It's your alertness going off! (good thing you have it in your skills) You can feel the presence of other ...probably dangerous... people here...
The person in front of you acts like there is nothing wrong, either the person is not aware of the problem and he's innocent or he tries to keep up the appearance to lure you in a trap...

Military! ... worse than simple police or local guards,... they are die-hard military, very disciplinary... If you had to take a wild guess, you got the worse of the worse here: US NAVY SEALS! Those guys are NOT to miss with.
That's bad luck for you, they are very nervous now and will question things where they would just have walked by previously...
On the other hand, they are not looking for you, which gives you the advantages.SS > Why would he be in the trees?
Elektra > There are three guards in front of you and they instantly higher their weapons (automatic machinegun!) and take an aim. One speaks up:
"You! Drop the gun and lie down on the floor with your hands on your back NOW!"
You hear footsteps of at least two persons behind you... they go slow and controlled, must be military...
SS & Tidus > what the heck is a Pandora Tomorrow? 😑
Elektra > ah well, shit happens... hope your punishment finishes soon 😖
Those people do not spend time with niceties, Elektra.
You all hear them taking the safety off their gun, you also hear that those people behind you do the same... Rather nasty situation.
The guy that just spoke takes a shy step forward, without taking his eyes off you.
"I said... Drop the gun and lie down on the floor with your hands on your back NOW! Failing to comply will result in violance. We are not kidding... ... assassin!"
If there was any doubt if they came for you or saw what you did, you now know that they all saw it. Their weapons are now cocked.
This means if you do a wrong move, they can shoot you within a second, so if you're doing something it will be tricky and has to be fast!
NOTE TO EVERYONE >
If you find yourself in a situation like Elektra, tricking someone will not work if the person/persons you're trying to trick are convinced you did it or are the one they're looking for.
In this instance, the guards saw Elektra with the civilian, then tricking them into believing they are looking for the wrong person doesn't work.
Not even when you have have Trick as skill.

Entering the office, Kiara found herself feeling quite worried for no particular reason. The man looked reliable -after all, he DID have the CERN ID badge on his robe- and the room was empty. It seemed empty at least.
Still feeling uneasy without being able to tell why, she sat on a black leather chair, and the man at the other chair, behind the wooden desk. "Miss Myers".
Kiara stood quiet.
"As you know, Professor Yang won't be able to see you today. I am his colleague, and seeing I know all the details about the legal matter he wants your lawyer office to handle, I'll be informing you about it".
Things were not going as planned. Kiara had no idea who this man was and if he was honest, the guard had disappeared and wasn't back yet, she had less than 16 hours left and something didn't seem right. What was it though, she couldn't tell.
I have to get out of here without causing suspicions, she thought. How?
The man takes up a rather big file and murmles to himself:
"hmm, seems like it grew a few sizes large than last time. It will take us a while I say..."
He looks up and you SWEAR you could see him hiding a smile! It is like he is trying to push the talks or what ever in a certain direction!
The guy slowly places his glaces back into place and looks you straight in the eyes.
"I'm going to get a cup of coffee before we'll tackle this file. Do you want one?"
Before you even can say yes or no, he is already at the door... and yet again your alertness kicks in...there is a shadow, someone is behind the door... something VERY fishy is going on here!
But before you can think any further of it, the guy raises his voice a bit:
"That coffee?"
A light cough is heard behind him...
