Cayde is playing the how-much-crap-can-I-get-away-with game. He's not sure if he's winning, or what winning would look like. Mostly, he's just seeing how far wandering while looking purposeful will let him get.

The company doesn't like him, and a lot of people here seem to be giving him a wide berth. They don't have exos here, or even the non-exo frames that fill out a lot of the Last City's workforce. He stands out, he's memorable and anybody who sees him would be able to place him here later, but it also seems to give him a kind of buffer that people don't like to cross because they don't want to deal with a robot man, especially a robot man that looks like he just fought a robot bear. He supposes he'll take this mix. It's not like he has a choice.

He's quite deep into pencilneck territory when he runs across another guy with a new hire badge, doing... something.

"...They put you on janitorial already or what?"
