Argon tapped himself on the chin with the bright end of his glow-rod as he pondered his next move, which led to a brief couple of seconds spent yelping, flinging his glow-rod away and digging it back out from under the bed. He took the chance to check the under-bed area for any hidden goodies, people or Clues.
It briefly occurred to him that leaving an open door in a dark house on a dark evening might attract attention, so after having left it like that for several minutes, he got around to closing the door behind him.
He then proceeded to whistle tunelessly as he wandered from room to room with no particular plan or purpose other than keeping an eye out for anything interesting. He'd instantly head upwards, though, as soon as he found the stairs.
The technician kept an eye out for any attractive pieces of property, mostly small electronics, weaponry or easily transported valuables. He had loyalty towards fellow Imperial operatives, which was why he would not immediately steal it, but if it turned out their contact was dead, had defected or had gone AWOL for some other reason, he wanted to know if there was anything worth coming back to grab.
A few steps in, he also began systematically pulling any window blinds or drapes he came across, so no neighbours would wonder why people were waving glow-rods around inside the house. He passed the suggestion on to Barney and Sorkuk if he met them.
