Auto and Ozy
The lobby was not exactly large. It was T-shaped, with an elevator door at the junction of the two hallways, and apartments going left and right. The entrance hallway had an ugly painting and a potted plant on the right hand side, and a wall of mailboxes on the left. Each mailbox had an individual lock. There was also a door on their left, next to the mailboxes, that said 'STAFF ONLY'.
"I can go for hours. Let me check some things first, could you check for cameras?" Auto looks at the mailboxes and counts a row vertically, then a row horizontally and multiplies the two numbers. Then, he moves up against the Staff door to see if his Sense Life can pick up anyone on the other side.

"For hours, you say?" she chuckled a little to herself, before turning and giving a bit of a thoughtful look around the room. Cameras. Right. That was a thing. Blatant ones? Ones covered in that black glass? She didn't know, but it only would make sense for them to be around.

Auto and Ozy
There is indeed a camera. It's kind of shitty-looking, an older model, and probably didn't catch Auto's mojo on the door, but it is watching the entry-way. There's no black glass.
Nice digs, really. Very secure.
Autolycus doesn't detect anybody on the other side of the door.

"Camera. Just one," she stated as she turned to look at him. "Not a very good one, mind you, if you've got a mind or capacity to short circuit it, I don't think it'd come across as much of a shock to anyone." She chuckled to herself at her own joke.
Auto nods and checks out the camera. He doesn't mind it seeing him. Not since he's wearing a different face. It's why he's wearing a different face. Life was really handy sometimes, even if it wasn't the kind of thing that he could turn to disabling a camera. They could always just break it though, maybe make a detour to get the tapes if Mandy didn't want her face floating around.
The camera is one of those cheap ones that is usually connected to a recording device in the area. It's nothing crazy, just a hard-wire. It's easily damaged and is more there as a deterrent than any effective measure of stopping a dedicated intruder.
Yeah he could break it, but there wasn't much point. "Mandy," he says and points at the wiring leading off, "it's hard-wired, sending the recording somewhere on site. You want to call them in to snag the tape while we keep going on this? If they know Forces and throw a Knowing at it, it should lead them where they need to be. If we don't turn anything else up here, they might be closer to some records that might help."
He moves back to the Staff Only door and checks to see if it's Locked. It is, so he reaches back up through a river of lead to unlock it but the spell slips through his fingers like mercury. He cocks his fingers into the shape of a gun and whispers "Bang" as he tries again, catching the spell with his will like a fisherman. He cracks the door open, looking to see what's inside.
Autolycus and Ozymandias
Autolycus's spell easily opens the door... into a plain-looking, well lit mailroom. The backsides of all of the mailboxes are free and open in this room; this is where the postal clerk would come in to put mail. How convenient!

"Show off," she quipped even as she sent a quick text to Cut before slipping into the room. Now... more importantly... Misperception wasn't going to help if they got caught in here. She needed to use a different spell, but before she did she cast a quick look around this room, as well. Cameras would still catch her, even once the spell was up, so... best to make sure there weren't any.
