The ride on the tube is a lot less stressful than your last outing.
The carriages fill up once you switch to the old northern line; young, trendy late-teens dressed in all manner of outrageous styles, from the overtly sexual pico-skirts to the gothiest goth get-up you've seen in a while.
No doubt they were heading to the new warehouse district for a "wiz" night, even the novacoke dealer, who was doing a roaring trade further up the carriage, looked like he was getting ready for the party.
The hustle and bustle was a welcome distraction, it felt like your mind was going as fast as the train you rode, covering every possibility and contingecy time and time again.
A robotic chime anounced that your station was next. The tube was bereft of life, nothing moved apart from a few discarded food wrappers chasing the train into the tunnel, helplessly sucked into the inky oblivion by the vacuum.
You ascended the ancient steps of embankment tube station and out into the night. A nice day had turned into a cold night, a few stars and the brilliant glare of the corporate space station pierced through a few holes in the light cloud cover, your breath helping to create a few new short-lived clouds in front of your face.
The central business district, the full square mile seemed derelict. You were smack bang in the middle of 8-5'sville, the only indicator of life was the odd light left on on some random floor of a corp office. A light breeze tugged at your jacket and dispersed your cloudy breath, a quick check of the clock in your AR HUD showed 22.48. you'd made good time and had arrived first.
You are approaching the target building from the west, you have a block between you and the target building and will approach from the side with the underground parking access.
your exfil point is three blocks south of here, a 5 minute walk to the river, less if you run.
