Aries typically didn't take well to being ordered by any but Elijah. However, she was reasonable. Yasker's orders made sense, so she would descend the ladder at his behest, and inspect the hideout without complaint.
She'd give the room a quick glance to familiarize herself with its layout before approaching the computer. She'd begin the video Yasker suggested, and size it so that it took up half of the screen. She'd lower the volume as low as she could while still hearing it clearly. She wanted to make sure she was aware if anything happened above. The last thing she wanted was to be trapped here. Then she'd try the other folders only to find they were password protected.
She'd pay the video as much attention as it was due, and, if it was not especially important, she'd begin searching the hideout for clues to what had been going on, looking specifically for something that might be the password to the other folders on the computer. If she was fortunate enough to find one before the video ended, she'd open the folders on the other side of the screen and begin analyzing them for any anomalies. She was looking for things that seemed inconsistent in the reports or suspect; anything to give her and her team clues as to where they should be looking. Otherwise, she'd use the clues the rest of the room provided alone for this purpose.
If she was given any indication of an attack from Yasker above, she'd leave her investigation and move to assist him.

Upon clicking on the video file, the computer would display upon the large screen. The file began with static and white noise, but soon cleared into a recording of this very room, though there was a number of small differences. The most obvious of those was that there was a man rustling around the computer. He quickly shuffled into frame, moving with rapid, nervous energy. He was a spindly old man, with short white hair and a body that seemed all harsh angles. He seemed frazzled, his arms full of folders that were organized in a disorderly pile. A smudge of blue ink on one side of his nose seemed beyond his notice. "Huh... huh... okay..." he grunted, slapping the files onto the couch behind him. "So, if you're watching this then... well... huh... I guess I'm not as paranoid as they say. This is operative 73459, and I'm leaving this in case I don't make it back from my next scouting mission."The old Magi had gray spikes sprouting from the back of his head and along his spine, but they weren't evident until he turned and started pacing back and forth, rubbing his chin with his thumb and index finger. An alligator-like tail swayed back and forth as he walked, and he stopped again in front of the video feed, leaning his face in as if he was inspecting the recorder. "So, my mission files are all on the computer," he said, apparently satisfied. "The password is the first and last name of the leader of our organization, so hopefully only allies can see it. But I wouldn't take that chance. Not safe. Nope. Right. So. I've tracked the missing personnel to this beach. The pirates come at two in the morning to move cargo, and there are snipers in the trees. Don't go near it alone, or you'll go missing, too. Right."He wagged a finger at the recorder, shaking his head. Once he finished saying what he wanted, he wandered over to the computer again and the video feed went dead. But do you dare wait for nightfall?

No answer. Nobu sat there for a while longer, waiting with eyes narrowed at the little fort the earth magi had constructed for himself, before pushing up onto his feet once more. Fine, then. He would just have to find another way in. Tucking the spent Downer dart into a pocket, he cast his gaze about for some other means of entry. The cages weren’t close enough to be worth leaping from, but there was a tree with a few decently-sized branches he might be able to work with… Huffing softly to himself, the water magi decided that would have to do, and wandered over. The climb was not the most graceful thing he’d ever done, but considering the fuzziness lingering in his head, Nobu would be satisfied enough with the fact that he’d made it up at all. Slowly working his way out onto one of the larger branches, he took a moment to steady himself, muscles tensing, and leapt with arms outstretched. He landed somewhat awkwardly, and had to scrabble a little to keep from falling, but managed to make it to the top of the wall all the same. After a little shifting around so he could sit properly, Nobu pushed himself off, landing as lightly as he could manage on the other side, where the hatch sat open and the rest of the party lingered. Brushing himself off, the lion fish magi headed down, arriving in the hideout in time to catch the last half of whatever video Aries was listening to. His own poor decision making aside, at least some part of this venture had been apparently fruitful. Crossing his arms, Nobu moved in just enough to get a better view of the monitor, and took up a post leaning against the wall to watch and wait a while longer. Yasker Romundia @aries @fox
