The ladder at the end of the foyer wobbled precariously, supporting a somewhat tall young man who stretched and leaned dangerously close to the back wall, a strip of what looked almost like motion sensors in one hand. A single, thread-thin wire wrapped around the other hand, invisible against the paint of the wall. With a nervous lick of a lip, Wes shifted and pressed the strip of mirco-cameras into place. From floor level they'd hardly be noticable, and by the time the camoflage system was active, Dok wouldn't suspect a thing ( ... )

Upon being faced with the flipped situation, Dok stopped for a second. Wouldn't he have done the same?
