Qubit had spent a good portion of the week tracking down temporal disturbances with some experimental equipment he and the Doctor had dashed together. But by the time he'd gotten the precision tuned finely enough to narrow the source to "somewhere within a hundred-odd miles of De Chima," the disturbances themselves, growing weaker with every second that passed since the event, were getting difficult to pick up. What brought him to StarkTech was that and a hunch - Newt and Hermann were the first people he'd been able to confirm were affected, so maybe their workplace would have clues as to how it happened. Or be how it happened, for that matter. What went on behind those doors was something of a mystery. But there wasn't much, if anything, to make the place actually suspect. It really was just a hunch.
And so it was that an employee of Starrware came to snoop around a competitor's headquarters, on a Saturday, scanning the area with a handheld device not unlike a tricorder, without making any real effort to hide it. Evidently, he forgot to consider how bad that might look in context.
