Okay, I'm checking out the possible safehouse location. If I find any kind of security, I'll check it out from a distance. And if spotted, by a Spirit, or Watcher, I'll ask it to fetch it's master, and have a chat with her. I don't hide the sword-focus, but it's still sheathed, and I try to look as non-threatening as possible.
Stryker doesn't want to make enemies here. And he'll go on great lengths to keep this from escalating. He doesn't want any bloodbaths anymore. And he's not comfortable with fighting women, even if they're experienced runners that wouldn't blink before wasting him...
