Trickery

Heui reentered the room, a slight urgency in his step. "I'm ready to go if you are. I was able to grab the stuff you needed also."

Gerald nodded, a flicker of impatience crossing his features. "Yeah, let's get a move on, Heiu. You're going to take me to the Tech room, is that okay?"

"Sure," Heiu replied, though a hint of hesitation tinged his voice. "Though I don't have clearance to let you in." He handed Gerald a set of white robes and a new name tag.

Gerald examined the name tag briefly and then slipped into the robes. As he adjusted the fabric around his shoulders, he caught a glimpse of himself in a reflective surface. The robes fit surprisingly well, and the name tag bore a name eerily similar to a deceased scientist whose features resembled his own. Good on them to kill someone who shares my hairstyle and facial features, Gerald thought, a grim smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
