[At first, he's fairly skeptical of anything he may be on the receiving end of, but part of him trusts Togusa enough not to worry too much. Chloe may have helped, backing the man up and all.
The photographs are, initially, weird as fuck. He gets the QR codes, but doesn't understand what any of this means. They don't even scan. And they're on the floor and wall?
A little while later:]
It's like a bad Escape the Room. Did you take these? They seem to match, but I'll have to run it unless you have already. An Easter egg hunt?
Okay. I can't believe I'm having to be the one to tell an OFFICER how stupid it was to go into a non-working subway when the majority of us are being turned into small shrimp.
[Because Tim absolutely would never, ever also venture into the depth of a closed subway just to get the grit and photo evidence of weird shit there.]
It could just be grafitti. Maybe some new punk band or movie has an avant-garde way of marketing.
Given James' marketing strategy already, I somehow doubt it. Stupid, but better to take the opportunity when no one could stop us.
Follow the path from Enprise to Apprassage, and you get binary code on the subway walls instead.
But okay, it could all just be grafitti? It got stranger when we tried to go to the center of town. One second, we were in the subway? The next, we were standing outside. Like it was turning into a road. But when we tried to follow it too far? All of a sudden we were back where we started.
Well, marketing not belonging to James' sad excuse for edgy rockstar fame. What's the point of "spooky" QR codes when they give no information? Do you know if the other subs have anything? The common denominator is Enprise. Fuji Industries is there. Viral marketing for their stuff? But EcSoft is there, too. And Transcend and Cubenix.
To the building? Fly the drone up to the upper floors?
I mean, it's worth a shot.
[Togusa has to stare at his screen for a moment, as he realizes that this world has gotten so strange that he was almost suggesting they simply ask someone who can fly to do it. May has been a hell of a month already.]

That's the subway. The shut down for renovations subway. There all along the line that used to connect Enprise to Tisse.
We didn't get any further than that before it was too dangerous to keep going.

Hang on to that. If it turns out to just be some Augmented Reality Game, then, hey, now you've got a head-start on everyone else.
But it might turn out to be important later.

I have a drone.
Do you think we could get in from the top?

I'm aware it can't possibly be that easy.
The drone isn't superb craftsmanship, but it's small.
Maybe there's a place it can fit.
I mean
[Wait. FUCK. There's a long delay.]
I have an idea.
I'll let you know if it works.
