Aiden really doesn't need hacking help anymore, either, Ray and Clara helping him fill out the gaps in his knowledge, these last few years. He's not as quick, in a pinch, as either of them are, maybe, but now -- well, he feels like, if everything that happened with Damien had happened now, he might have stood more of a chance. Either way, the point is that he could have found the system key on his own. It would have taken time he doesn't have, however, especially if he's supposed to be on their new friend, so letting Marcus do the heavy lifting when he's right there takes some of the pressure off.

"Got it," he mutters, something grateful in his voice, that in mind. He uses his newfound access to pull up the camera feeds, not having to restrain himself, now that, as far as the system is concerned, he should be there, and adds, "Got him, too." His shadow drifts past Marcus's door, pulling his mask up as he goes. He's going to try and separate their friend from Umeni, then lead him into a dead end, opening and closing doors as he needs to. The fact that Wrench plans on getting the security company's attention will only make that easier.

Before he does, though, Wrench pauses at Marcus's door, using the system key to open it, and pokes his head in. "So, I'm hearing 'no rocket launchers'," he starts, once he feels like he's sure he isn't going to scare the shit out of Marcus. "Which, shame, but hey. I get it."

So, he's just going to pull his gun and hand it over to Marcus. It's not a rocket launcher, just a 9mm, but the point he's making is the same. If he's going to lead Umeni on a merry chase where civilians are involved, he really doesn't need the gun. Never mind the fact that, if and when he really does he can always just pick something up from one of the guards. Still, he plans on going nonlethal. A faulty electrical box here, a burnt out transformer there. That kinda thing.
