Flute smiles. "You ask good questions for someone with such a foul mouth," she says. Again with the deliberate, patronizing insult, continuing to see how far she can push Sasha with little digs. "The seven moths mostly contain network infiltration equipment in the form of grid support for my hackers, as well as some additional hardware toys."
She pauses to think. "As for the assassins, the duelist is largely a distraction and will be shadowed by an observer posing as a booth bunny. The Lanterners have two people with scatterguns--we're not sure, historically, what happened to the second one--as well as two people with conventional handguns."
Flute calls up a map of the conference. It's very crowded and has a lot of super tacky company logos for the various booths. "As far as we can ascertain, General Jedao will be escorted only by an aide. This is considered a fairly low-risk conference is the Kel assessment. Also, it seems likely that Jedao is...relying on his considerable combat abilities, which of course is his funeral. You have to realize, there are eight Kel officers actually signed up to learn things from the presentations along with their own aides, but these are largely high-ranking staffers rather than infantry."
She brings up a separate document. "Weapons are the big problem. The conference does not permit anything bigger than a utility knife or combat knife. The Lanterners claim they've suborned someone at security who will let them smuggle through suitably shielded or disguised hand weapons, but of course no one is getting in anything big like a sniper rifle. And as for our maps, they are as up-to-date as I can make them, but there are always last-second changes in booth layout."
