While waiting for the mysterious tech insider to respond, your mech's power consumption sensors flag an anomaly. Two blocks from The Edge Bar, something's creating interference patterns in the local grid - the same kind Prometheus labs used to shield their quantum processing systems. Your quantum chip's processing signatures are being affected by it, like two similar frequencies crossing paths.
Your mech's diagnostic systems pinpoint the source. Whatever's drawing power down there is using shielding frequencies that match Prometheus lab specifications. A maintenance vent behind a steaming noodle stand would provide direct access to investigate.
No response yet from the stranger, but this is different. This is the kind of shielding that was built to contain quantum processors like yours. Stay in your mech for the intel exchange, or investigate what's causing the interference? The steam would mask your exit...
