If you advanced by defeating Nathan Wick:

You quickly pry the device from Nathan's hands and flee before you are noticed.

You wait until Nathan is not looking, then sweep in and steal the device from the table next to him. You are long gone by the time he realizes it is missing.

"All right, listen," Nathan explains quietly. "Truth is, there probably is a safer way for us to open the device. This building holds many secrets; more than you could possible know. But time is running thin, and Mr. Sanford wants it open by midnight. If you can open it before then, great. If not, well... If I were you, I wouldn't be around it when we try to force it open." He hands you the device and walks away, leaving you in silence.
