Stepping out into the streets, Damian deftly weaves his way through the crowds; the Sleepless Market is living up to its name as usual, the raucous bustle of trade and merriment filling the humid air despite the late hour. Before long he arrives at Costine's Trove, and the magician's attention is immediately drawn to two suited figures standing to attention at either side of the shop's door. The men are easily 7ft tall and obviously cybered, and each holds a sleek submachine-gun sized for their enormous frames, adding to the almost palpable aura of danger they exude. The Mejoan throng are going out of their way to give the two a wide berth, creating a small semi-circle of empty space around the shop that Marcus walks into. One of the huge men tilts his head slightly as the mechanic approaches, seemingly assessing him before returning his visored gaze back to the middle distance; it seems that they aren't going to stop him entering the store if he so desires.
