DC starts to move. Presumably, she is following the instructions, and is going to a meeting spot. Freefall aims one of their additional optical sensors in the direction where the laser had come from, and sees someone move. Rumour? Someone else? Freefall snaps a few more photos of them, just to be on the safe side. Whoever they are, if they are following DC, knowing who they are would be an advantage. Freefall starts a recognition program, to see if they are somewhere in any of the databases they have access to.
Ā Ā Freefalls stands still for a short while, before following DC. DC is quite big, so she is not going to disappear in the masses. Freefall, however, is smaller, and lets themself disappear in the crowds. They change their biolights' colour to purple, which, although not a good disguise, should be enough to shake off anyone with little experience, and it is probably enough to convince DC that she was not followed.
Ā Ā Standing far enough from DC not to be spotted, while simultaneously being able to see it if she goes somewhere, Freefall goes back to pretending they are watching some of the other entertainment nearby.
Ā Ā A message is sent through DC's commlink (fortunately the same one; Freefall is also tracking any nearby communication, but singling anything out is challening in the massive night-time crowds, so unless anyone says any relevant words, Freefall is not paying much attention to them), and soon after, a reply comes. Were she followed? Rumour must be near, but they do not seem to be very experienced in these things (or perhaps they are faking being inexperienced to lure Freefall into being careless? Caution is still needed.). For now, acting unsuspicuously will probably suffice. Freefall makes sure to not glance towards DC, but rather rely on their other sensors. Something will probably happen soon.
