Eli had the feeling Rudmed was staring at him. He guessed it had something to do with the lie he told, he didn't see why it was harmful, it didn't harm anyone... yet, and all that it would end up harming were the Dark Wings. No matter. He leaned back. "This contest is just between you and my friend here, I don't intend on fighting any of them while drunk. Besides, I will admit, I never very attracted to drinking. Fighting's more my thing." He grinned.
"You might think you've won, but like a cornered animal, I don't give up!"

The gang laughed again.
"This isn't a contest, friend. We're just here to drown our sorrows, after a good race." They took sips from the glasses. It wasn't so much as trying to beat them at drinking, but joining them to demonstrate one's willingness to be part of the crowd once in awhile.
Seeing as the odd trio were more or less tolerable, willing to take a drink, they spoke to Asimov and Eli... in lowered, hush tones. "Alright, smart stuff. Listen up." They came a bit closer, almost afraid to be heard.
"Like we said, you don't just cross a Wing and walk away. These guys don't play by our 'rules' ..." Air quotes, "and take the best jobs. They also keep an eye on alot of things on the ground, even in this bar. They got a VIP room to themselves, and the other groups that don't wanna get picked off pay 'em respect up there."
The gang takes another round of drinks. A few of them start sitting down. One of the lady bikers picks up the discussion. "Those guys up there are just faces though. Even when they couldn't have gotten word out, they still know what's what. We think there's another Wing somewhere nearby, and that one's the real eyes and ears... Maybe. Those wings are always at a balcony."
Another general round of drinks, and one of the gangers begin lying down... or rather, falling down. "They got big egos, those Wings. get em to talk about themselves, you might get a chance to figure out something. Remember, you're in Zaun- you play by the rules."
While Rudmed did not know the rules he assumed it would not matter if they were dead, "So they have someone close then? Good then we'll go introduce ourselves to them." Rudmed said standing up from his seat and looking around, "The balcony you said? We'd best get moving, after all I would hate to be late to our first meeting."
Rudmed scanned the crowd to double check the female biker's information. If there a wing here then surely he or she would be moving to inform the rest of the group, if not then a human would be quickly moving away from them in order to inform the Wings.

Eli turned to Rudmed. "A balcony, they said, as in, any balcony. As for introducing ourselves, that may be a good idea. Though I dislike talking to our enemy, and don't make it so obvious you're looking around for them." He considered what the bikers had said about 'rules'. He decided that he would play by them, well, as long as the Wings played by them. He stood up, nodding to the bikers. "Well, thanks for the help. I think we might be arranging a meeting with the Wings soon. Enjoy your drinks."
"You might think you've won, but like a cornered animal, I don't give up!"

No one made a move to inform the Dark Wings. No one was going to risk getting involved in such affairs concerning those mutants- If there was one thing gangs could be counted on, it was their distrust of those above them.
As the bikers said, The VIP room at the far end of the second level was reserved for the Wings. Such was their arrogance they didn’t have guards, preferring to be left alone, or be approached with tribute. There were four of the mercenaries, clad in their body fitting night suits, emphasizing their muscles, their wings wrapped around them like rich, feathery cloaks. Their helmets removed to reveal their sneering, arrogant faces. They were all pale of complexion and had no piercings- such things were impractical to high speed flyers. At their sides were wicked blades and powerful custom heavy guns.
And, as was said, their room opened up to a balcony outside, the glass doors wide open. It was fairly obvious that a flyer who wished to flee could do so, but the open balcony served one other purpose...

Rudmed cocked an eyebrow at Eli from underneath his hat, did the man take him for a fool? "If this is where people offer tributes to them then it would only be fair that she was talking about the balcony in the club. Anyways enough dawdling. We have people to meet." He said before adding, "I think it would be better if you did the talking for now. My methods of getting information are rather....well interesting. They will not agree to them willingly, but should they require persuasion. My methods would be most effective."
With that out of the way. Rudmed made his way to the VIP room assuming that his comrades were right behind him. If not he would wait for them near the room.

Eli followed Rudmed. He spoke softly to him as they walked toward the VIP lounge, making sure no one else would hear over the music. "Who says we need information from them? They aren't likely to give it. No, I think we want their attention. Get them to send someone after us where we can fight them, shoot him down, take him prisoner, and interrogate him. Who knows, our scientist friend may be able to track them somehow from seeing these two." He glanced behind him to see if Asimov was following, he hoped that the man could indeed detect them after seeing whoever was in the VIP room. It would make things much easier.

The two wings in their private room conversed and took in drinks, when they noticed the trio in the hall. Their attention fell on them as they got closer to their lounge, until they were clearly on their way to them.
The duo went to stand on the balcony, as if to get fresh zaunite air. This would signal their 'third' to pay close attention to the conversation happening.
Should the trio enter, they would be greeted with the usual line. "Business with the Wings only. Who are you, and what do you want?"
Rudmed smiled at Eli's statement, though a thought struck him, "We're in the middle of a neutral area, I don't think it would be wise." He whispered back. While he was all for Eli's idea, perhaps there was a more tactful way to execute it.
"After all the last thing we want is to have the authorities after use while we try to execute this plan." He added. Maybe there was some other..less direct way of getting information, while still sending a message. The inquisitor looked around trying to discover if there was such a way...if not he did have a back up plan. One that ought to send the message to the survivor very clearly.

Eli smirked slightly, but continued to walk. He had a plan on getting their attention without violence. Well, without violence here anyway. He spoke quietly to Rudmed. "Don't worry, I'm not attacking them here. I'm just going to get them to send someone after us once we leave. Either that, or THEY attack us in a neutral area, then we can defend ourselves... right? By the way, don't look surprised when I lie, you might not like it, but it's necessary if we want to kill these little bastards." He walked into the lounge, seeming quite cocky. "So, you represent the Dark Wings? Hopefully not the best they have to offer, otherwise it's going to be a short fight if you try to resist..." No doubt this would at least get their attention.
"You might think you've won, but like a cornered animal, I don't give up!"

The Wings sitting in the VIP room were young punks, and were easily provoked. However, they still know bars are neutral ground. One of them approached Eli, towering over him and grabbing him by the collar, drawing him close. The Wings smelled of expensive perfumes and tobacco, and when he spoke, he exhibited filed teeth.
"Watch your mouth, punk. Do you even know who you're talking to?"
some distance off, Taminah was paying attention to the exchange. She didn't have direct line of sight, but was close enough with her bat hearing to tune in to the conversation. So far, she heard Eli and familiarized with his voice.

Eli smiled at the punk, completely relaxed, knowing this would probably just make him even more angry. "Not personally, but I know who you represent. My question to you: Do you know who you're talking to?" He chuckled, "You probably don't, but that's the way we like it, when our enemies don't even think we exist... until we kill we start killing them off by the hundreds that is. Nice perfume, by the way, trying to get a date? I know farmer that has some roosters he wants to breed. Anyway, as I said. I suspect you're just lowly representatives of your little gang. My superiors wish to speak with your leader, or leaders, if you have any."
"You might think you've won, but like a cornered animal, I don't give up!"

The young Wing shoved Eli, trying to provoke him to throw the first punch. There were distinct limits as to what constituted fighting, and the Wings were good at pushing that line.
"You should leave, now, if you know what's good for you, punk. You might also want to go home."
The other wings motioned to their weapons, a move to intimidate the trio.

Eli just chuckled again. Shaking his head. "You think I'm afraid of you? That's a good one, especially here. You try anything and everyone here will be more than glad to take you out. You wouldn't survive a second. Besides... Why would I go when I said I want to speak to your leader. He has much more to worry about than I do. Or, if you want to fight. Go ahead." He walked up to the Wing and spread his arms out, exposing himself to attack. "Come on... hit me, or did they put too much chicken DNA in you?"
"You might think you've won, but like a cornered animal, I don't give up!"
