Deus Ex: robots, cyborg ninjas and ancient Chinese secrets

Belltower dock. I'm supposed to navigate my way through this complex full of massive cargo containers to find a package. Oh, and there are lots of guards. And robots. Yeah, Deus Ex has robots. Not particularly sophisticated (more like guns on wheels) but not the type of foe I can strangle or stab. Then again, not the smartest.

Security bots. Less intelligence than a goldfish.

Again, I'm going about this stealthily. Like a ninja. A ninja with artificial arms, enhanced eyes and legs. So, Jensen's a cyborg ninja. The scenery helps, since running through open ground isn't a healthy thing for a cyborg ninja to be doing. Also, my legs allow me to jump 9 feet in the air. I make the most of this, jumping onto containers to evade guards (human and robot) and onto rooftops to neutralise snipers. 

I finally make it into the building where Tong has the package hidden. It's at this point that my radio crackles to life and Tong himself speaks to me. In my husky voice (Jensen's, not mine) I snarl at him.

"How did you get this frequency?"

"Ancient Chinese secret."

In a way my character is over reacting. After all I've been hacking into every computer I find, reading everyone's emails and stuff. Privacy is trampled over in Deus Ex. Personally I found Tong's answer pretty hilarious.
