[Joke or no joke, Nick smiles as he keeps walking, though he does slow his pace a bit. He wouldn't want them to get anywhere near other people too quickly.]
I almost grabbed it on the way out the door out of habit. Guess it was time that got taken care of, though I probably should've been the one to do it.
[The corner of his mouth quirks into a smile. An old bot like him getting told off by a talking hedgehog -- the world is a funny place sometimes.]
I need eyes and ears around the city on certain people. Folks know who I am, and who I'm associated with. Looking like this, you don't do a lot of undercover work.
[Nick reaches into his coat and produces a folder, offering it to Shadow without another word. He came prepared. Inside are a few files, pages with names at the top, some known facts about them, and even why Nick's looking to keep an eye on them. Sato is indeed in there, listed as "DO NOT APPROACH," though even Nick suspects that Shadow will only listen to him so far. Subsequent pages feature Hux, his accomplices Kylo Ren and Anakin Skywalker, and a Paladin Danse.
That last one might be a little personal. Nick has even made a note that they're from the same world.]

[They might be fancy, otherworldly technology, but a machine is still a machine. He'd know all about that.]
