From the words of the Director, Ryder had a feeling that someone high up in the position was coming to meet them who could only be someone from the government or the Uprising.
In any case, he needed to kill the man. If he left in time, that would be amazing. If it was someone from the government, they could have handled everything. If it were someone from the Uprising, that would even be better since that person would be accused of killing the guy.
The first thing he needed to see was if the room had any cameras. Normally, this room shouldn't have one as far as he had expected. It was the room of the head where supposedly many secret and shady deals might have taken place. No person in authority would like to have a camera in his room if he could control it.
Ryder casually looked around the room. He acted so subtly that it didn't seem as if he was trying to search for something. It seemed more as if he was actually bored.
