[ Kasumi's rather colorful résumé is filled with priceless works of art, works of art that aren't exactly priceless yet but will be in a few more years, ancient and important cultural artifacts, the occasional person (the one or two times she's saved someone from being sold to slavers, more like), tech, valuable data... and so forth.

Today she's been hired by a scientist to obtain an incredibly rare piece of ancient technology for a Very Important Project--so, a cross between "ancient artifact" and "tech," which works just as well for her. The job takes her to an long-abandoned research outpost on a remote planet, to a facility with antiquated yet challenging security measures. Breaking in feels more like solving puzzles and riddles, relying on Kasumi's innate and natural intellect, than running complex algorithms on her omni-tool to break into security mainframe programs--which makes the whole heist even more fun. Unfortunately, she can't quite cover her tracks, seeing as the tech involved is just ancient enough that once you open a thing, it just stays open, but Kasumi isn't quite worried; she's not expecting anyone else to barge in--and if that were to happen, she's well-equipped to make a clean getaway once she has what she came here for.

She appears out of thin air when she finally makes it into the vault where the piece of tech is. Kasumi surmises that they're talking seriously ancient tech, here--like, last Reaper cycle ancient, and this tech might even be Prothean. Either way, this place is incredible, and in a short moment she finds the very piece she's been hired to steal and swipes it, no problem. Might as well take a few other souvenirs while I'm here.

It's then that she takes a moment to roam the vault, examining the other pieces, and it's then that she hears the sound of another ship touching down from beyond the entrance to the facility.

Shoot. I've got company. is the thought that runs through her mind as she fades back out of sight--she should just get away, but she's curious as to who else could possibly be looking for this kind of thing. She has a sneaking suspicion, two guesses that it might just be a certain someone(s) that she might even know. ]
