The island that the lab was on also housed a small town mainly comprising of specialty shops (all of which were giving away free samples of their merchandise). The whole island was surrounded by a high, thick steel dome which would be entered through gates which required a key card to get in. Since I didn't technically belong, I did not have a key card of my own, so I used my powers to bypass the electronic security at the gates. I also hid my wings under an illusion, because I knew I would not be welcome at this town at all and would probably be hunted by the scientist if he knew I was there and what I was. (As a side note, whenever I used my powers, I saw a black box form around my hand. Not sure what this means.)
My companion and I entered the town, explored the shops for a bit before returning to the mission at hand. We wanted to make sure we blended in with the crowd, after all, as we were looking for the lab. Apparently we weren't doing a good enough job, though, because we were being watched on the video feeds. The scientist had a suspicion of what I was, and was determined to capture me to see if it was true.
