Ji Chen cleared his throat, fingers flicking through holographic screens. "I'll try to trace the digital signature embedded in the convergence node pulses. Maybe I can find whoever's rerouting the mana."
"You sure that's safe?" Jiang asked, already frowning.
"It's not," Ji Chen said cheerfully. "Best case scenario, I find the signal's endpoint and we get a name. Worst case scenario, they catch me snooping and panic. Might even set the damn thing off."
Damien's eyes narrowed. "Stick to low-level surveillance. Passive monitoring. Don't give them a reason to notice you."
Ji Chen nodded. "Got it. Low and slow."
"I like low and slow," Fatty added, raising a duck bun slowly to his mouth to emphasize his point. "Makes for the best broth."
"You're not helping," Jiang said dryly.
