((Gotta say I love the worldbuilding you’re also doing in this RP. part of the reason why I didn’t specify too much in the original post, because I like to see how people will build into the world that’s been set up))
An artificial body could have the potential to bypass all of these things — if only he’d spent more time planning. He inwardly cursed himself; Vaer had gotten cocky with all his latest successes.
And now, Egon was paying for it.
He hovered in place, just sort of looking at the scanner. When backed into a corner, Vaer was not one to take flight, but fight instead. This was different. Trapped in a human body, so fragile compared to what his true form is. He could of course disconnect from this form, but he’d rather not leave this body here for humans to study. One way or another, Egon would get off this station with what he needed.
He blinks, shaken out of his thoughts by the voice of the AI. “Oh. Yes, I’ve been scanned.” No. not here. “Was just thinking about some people.” He lies.
If he ran, that would look rather suspicious. If he disconnected and returned to Vaer - that would also be rather odd, though it would just look as though Egon passed out. No. Will not leave this body here. That would get me in trouble.
Either way, Egon knew that he was about to be found out. Hesitantly, he dips his head forwards slightly, and walks — through the scanner.
Heart-rate. 45 BPM.
25°C or 77°F body temperature.
Implant of unknown origin detected.
That was the information transmitted through the scanner just from Egon stepping through. He remained still and deathly silent as he waited.
