She had figured it would be simpler to stay in the park, since she wasn't sure how the portals would affect her hardware--they probably wouldn't do anything, but she wanted to be safe. After all, this whole event was structured around finding things, and that was her function. Almost her sole function, in fact, which was something she'd been meaning to discuss with Dexter, but he was so busy lately with the new design commission that she hadn't had an opportunity. That would be all right, though. It wasn't as if she had a time limit for that.
Probably at this point she should be looking for eggs, but Eve's directives were lined up in a very straightforward order, and they said she had to find the person who'd rented her first. That kind of thing wasn't something she could override, nor did she especially want to, since she usually didn't work by herself. She needed at least a little outside direction to work. Something else she'd been meaning to ask Dexter about.
But none of her directives said she couldn't wander around and smell a few flowers while she waited.
