(Ren's P.O.V)
Corvo and I Blink onto a large pipeline (Which for some reason, is rather sturdy), and crouch walk our way around the building it was wrapped around. Underneath us are two patrolling Overseers.
"I was just reading in the Archive about the Heretic's Brand. It sounds painful. Have you ever seen the ritual?" says Overseer #1.
"I've never seen the Heretic's Brand used, no. It's a rare occurrence. But I did spy the face of one so branded. A former member of our Order, of course. Out on a retreat, we passed a fishing town and saw him begging." replied Overseer#2.
"What were his crimes?" questioned Overseer#1.
"Who can say? The brand is reserved for an Overseer, or even the High Overseer himself, who violates our codes and must be cast out, permanently. Remember the Seven Strictures and you never need worry about such matters." says Overseer #2.
"I will, Brother." replies Overseer #1.
Corvo looks at me, and I swear I hear a snicker. I smile back as I realize what he is planning, and we continue to sneak around while the two Overseers patrolled.
...
...
As we sneak, we find an open balcony above us.
"I'll Blink up onto the balcony and signal you if it's clear." Whispers Corvo. I nod my head in confirmation. As I watch, Corvo gracefully Blinks onto the edge of the railing of the balcony. He waves his hand at me over the railing.
I guess that's the signal. I thought. I Blink onto the balcony with grace. Huh? When did I ever get so graceful? It must be the Mark. I thought as I look at it warily. The Outsider did say it increases agility as well as strength.
"Ren."
I look up at Corvo who was opening the balcony door.
"Oh, sorry!" I whisper, as we entered the building which housed Cambell's office.
...
...
"Be careful, the building is full of skilled Overseers." Corvo warned. "If they find us, they'll put up one hell of a fight."
I nodded and reply to him, "But you'll put up one even better." Corvo chuckles lightly.
"You're right about that." He says comically, while we sneak down a hallway.
The building was decorated with white marbled columns and red draped curtains over a shade of brown colored wall. As we sneak around the building, we find a lot of rooms. Corvo skillfully loots everything of value (Pretty much everything that wasn't nailed down) and moves on. We walk in on what seems to be a bedroom. A bed with green sheets, a desk, and a closet are the only pieces furniture inside. The bedroom is probably Cambell's due to all the rather expensive things lying around. (Which Corvo quickly pocketed, how does he have room for all that stuff?).
"You sure are good at stealing." I say with a smile.
"I'm not stealing! I'm..." Corvo pauses. We can hear an Overseer walking our way! Corvo quickly closes the door of the bedroom.
"Hmm?" says the Overseer as he walks to our room.
"Hide! Quickly!" Says Corvo as he crouches underneath a desk. That's so obvious! I thought. No time to hide in the closet. I quickly dove underneath the green bed and peeked from underneath. The Overseer opened the door and walks about three paces inside.
"Must've been the wind." Says the Overseer as he walks by the CLEARLY visible Corvo underneath the desk. He was just about to exit until Corvo came behind him and proceeded to choke the guard out until he passed out due to lack of oxygen.
