It seemed my little stunt at the pawnshop had earned me a few good boy points, although I was still stuck at neutral. Damn. If it had not been for Penelope, I probably would have gained a lot more by now, but to keep up with her craziness I had to sacrifice the reputation points I would have earned. Annoying, but at least it was something.
"Sheesh. When was the last time I was here?"
I stood in front of TechForge's massive building and looked up at it. It was still early in the morning, the sun was already up, and the rain had finally stopped. A few people were standing near the entrance, smoking or drinking coffee before work, and the parking lot was packed so tightly that I had a hard time finding a spot.
I headed up the stairs and stopped at the entrance. The security guard saw me right away and gave me a small nod with a faint smile. I nodded back and stepped through the metal detector. It beeped, but he did not care, since he recognized me.
