"Hold it, lady!" Al shouted as he darted from the holo-rooms (despite a faulty link). CAL was right behind him.

"Step away from that dwarven emissary!"

Chester gave a hiss and tore away his sunglasses. His cover had been blown. There burned a crimson eye, constricted under the disguise. That fizzled away, revealing the Manches within.

"The Grigoris!" Chester snarled. The pulsings on his back shot out, the four tentacles writhing and twisting. "You're too late! I already know what I need!" He lied. He looked over at Kathryn, who had backed into a bookcase. She had seen plenty of strange things in her life, but a raving Manches facing off against a janitor and a droid...wait.

Alfred and CAL-37's disguises shattered away, revealing the watchers' true forms. The tails split to form legs, and seemingly robe-like armor wrapped around them from nowhere.

"Your quest ends here, agent! We cannot allow this re-entry!"

"Stand down, and no harm will come to anyone."

Chester gave a shrill battle cry, launching a tendril at Kathryn and coiling it around her. He hadn't gotten to the data itself, but Kathryn's curious amount of knowledge about the hub would suffice. He reeled her back in as he turned around, using the long tentacles as legs to step over the soldiers on guard and dash to the Docking Bay. Al and Cal exchanged distressed looks, taking off after them....

Only to find a squad of agitated soldiers blocking their path. Some were bound to take off after Chester, having seen similar creatures before. But HorizontAl and VertiCal seemed to be the ones responsible for pissing off the short psychotic.

Rugby had dealt with vigilantes seeking to save the world before, and weren't about to loosen up now.
