Night 53: Outside the Institute: East
[from here]
Lunge let a little of his concentration lapse while he examined the area more carefully. Still nothing obvious in the vicinity, but that was to be expected given the fog. From here it was a little way before they had to change direction again, so he could afford to listen carefully to the end of the radio message.
As for that, what he hadn't been expecting was for Marc to make such a sudden exit. That was refreshing- it implied a kind of proactive outlook that Lunge could appreciate better than he could the unsteady trickle of cryptic puzzles they'd had before. On the other hand, of course, it meant no more radio broadcasts, but given how unhelpful he'd been so far that didn't mean much at all. Better to take the risk and try something different rather than sit and stew.
The broadcast finished and the same unfamiliar song from the start began again. He trusted the younger man to switch it back off without prompting. Lunge glanced to the side, raising an eyebrow at L. "Interesting. I'd like to hear some of those guesses- I haven't heard of any key players we haven't heard from personally already so we likely wouldn't recognise names, but it sounds as though Marc knows more about the hierarchy of this place." The than I'd thought was implicit- he didn't like to say so out loud.
