Mulch stepped on to a parquet corridor. The whole place smelled of money. He could make a fortune here, if only he had the time. There were cameras just below the architrave. Tastefully done, nestling in the natural shadows. But vigilant nonetheless. Mulch stood for a moment, calculating the system’s blind spot. Three cameras on the corridor. Ninety-second sweep. No way through. “You could ask for help,” said a voice in his ear. “Foaly?” Mulch pointed his wired eyeball at the nearest camera. “Can you do anything about those?” he whispered. … He shuffled along the corridor, skipping through the first doorway he encountered. More cameras. Quite a lot of them, in fact. Mulch studied the lenses’ sweep. Four were surveying the general floorspace, but another three were fixed. - Artemis Fowl, Chapter 7
