  An object called G2 was recently discovered moving towards the supermassive
black hole in the Galactic Center. G2 emits infrared (IR) lines and continuum,
which allows constraining its properties. The question is still unresolved
whether G2 has a central windy star or it is a coreless cloud. Assuming the
object is a cloud originating near the apocenter I perform line/continuum IR
diagnostics, revisit estimates of non-thermal emission from pericenter passage,
and speculate about future observational prospects. This work is partially
reported in arXiv:1309.2282 and partially consists of new ideas discussed at
the conference.
