The Martial Unity

Rui immediately got to work. He hit the mission commencement button on his mission tracker device as he traveled across town.

The town of Garten was a highly commercial location. However, unlike Hajin, commerce did not come from larger corporations conducting organized business. Most of the market was comprised of smaller-scale businesses and entrepreneurs of various kinds.

There were a lot of flea markets of various kinds and different areas for different kinds of goods. The population and energy were high, resulting in a lot of chaos.

('An ideal place to run an illegal drug distribution operation.') Rui noted.

Illegal activities illicit less attention in chaotic circumstances. The fact that there was so much happening at all times was the perfect cover for an operation like the one Faraday Lowminer was engaging in. Isolated and shady hideouts were unreliable because they couldn't do a good job hiding the base of operation of a certain drug distribution operation.

Martial Artists would sniff out the location of the base of operations in a heartbeat with no difficulty if the base of operations occurred in a distant but isolated and shady location.

On Earth, there were no sensory techniques, and although there was sensor technology that allowed investigators and law enforcement to pinpoint location to a surprisingly high degree, it wasn't as effective as Rui's sensory capabilities, for example.

Thus, a better solution than hiding was actually disguising. Hiding could be overcome in a straightforward and brute force fashion because they could be directly sniffed out, but disguising bypassed that because you didn't where what you were looking for was actually amidst the things you were searching.
