Green Arrow has posed:
    The Zetaport stations were a boon overall, but they had one unintended side effect; those with the pull in the underworld could easily ship their goods across continents instantly now. Gotham being so close to Manhatten and so crime infested made it a clear avenue for smuggling routes from the Atlantic. From the Zetaport, the Hyperloop station allowed smugglers to send crates all across Starling, when they weren't using other, slower, routes into Starling.

It made tracking the route easy if you knew where to look and had access to state-of-the-art hacking ability and equipment to find Zetaport schedules. Tracking down the storage closet that apparently housed a dead drop for smugglers was childs play after that.

So, when midnight came and most honest folk were at home leaving the Hyperloop station pretty deserted, sans the graveyard shift.

Of course, when Tim went for the closet via vent or main door, he probably wasn't expecting Green Arrow already in the room, down on one knee rummaging through two mens pockets inside, the shelves around him filled with crates.

Red Robin has posed:
Landing in the shadows so that only the lit up lenses of his mask is seen, the voice modulated voice speaks out. "I see you beat me to it." Is heard as Red Robin rises, at first it looks like batman, what with the new cowl, but then said shadow isn;t as 'big' as batman is, so probably one of his many Robins. "Smuggling is getting out of hand, I'm finding contraband in Gotham that has lead me back here." He says with a frown, the bat-family frown.

"Find anything usefull?" he asks as he moves to raise a gauntletted wrist to a few crates to scan them.

Green Arrow has posed:
    When Red Robin drops down, Green Arrows compound bow is immediately brought up and around to aim at the newcomer, a net arrow constructed on the fly by neural command taken and nooked. When it becomes clear the newcomer is decidedly /not/ a thud though, he brings the bow down into an idle position, "one of The Bats trainees?" Green Arrow asks, the voice modulator attached to his ear device masking his own voice as much as Red Robins is.

"I've been dealing with arms dealers for a few months now. They're starting to use public transport, which means they have officials on payroll." His domino mask and hood obscure his face readily, even with the lack of light, "I'm Green Arrow."

Red Robin has posed:
Red Robin blinks. "Partner, Not Trainee, I Graduated from the Bat's school of hard knocks." he says and has the scars and bumps to prove it. He listens as he gives a nod. "Figures, greedy people want to do things the easyt way, which makes life hard for us... I know who you are, master marksman with a bow, fights crime." He says off handedly. "I'm only here long enough to eliminate the lead that gets thease into Gotham, then I'll be out of your hair." Red Robin says as he turns to look at the green clad Hero.

Green Arrow has posed:
    There's a momentary pause as Green Arrow watches Red Robin, before he smirks, "I thought The Bat didn't have partners... only people he needs to watch over." He replaces the arrow in his quiver, the mechanical deconstruction audible as it breaks down, and drops the bow to the ground as he resumes rummaging through the knocked out thugs, "it's only natural people find the easiest ways to handle things. People don't build mills for their health. They did it to grind flour much without as much back breaking labor."

Red Robin has posed:
"Thats because more people to feed means a need for faster milling, thus the need for mills. You can also grind Opium in a mill, that doesn't mean you should." He says with a smile. "It's sad when a few bucks in the right hand can get people to overlook a dangerous thing." Red Robin says as he walks over to the crate and places small device on one of them. "Fifteen minutes, and this device will alert the3 local police department." Of course, he probably has abit more of the3 contraband with him as well, because he isn;t going to let a little thing like now knowing what he is dealing with catch him off guard.
