Simulgrab
OOC: I FOUND THE POST I HAD PREPARED! SLIGHT RETCON COMING BELOW, AND THEN I'LL GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE WITH PC ACTIONS AS ALREADY STATED:
[IC]
The Grounds of Simulgrab Power Processors consist of three geodesic domes of concrete, two of which are three stories tall, and the third of which is five stories tall. (The sizes of the domes are proportional to their heights, since the height of a dome is its radius -- basic geometry there, ya know.) All three of the domes are connected by sealed passageways that converge in the center of the three buildings where there is a fourth, smaller geodesic dome where the company snack bar/cafeteria/break area is located -- a sign over the door proclaims it to be the Commons Area. It is the cafeteria where the main entrance is located. The other three buildings have no exterior doors visible. Entering the Commons, the fist thing you notice is that the climate controls are set a good deal cooler than the climate of the Zax -- maybe 20 degrees C. Moving through the door anyway, you first see an information/help desk where a bored-looking librarian-type of indeterminate gender is seated and polishing/filing 'its' fingernails. There are also routes apparent to each of the other buildings. An intermittent stream of coveralled tired-looking workers dressed in coveralls and boots is flowing into the Commons Area from the largest building. There is basically no flow into or out from one of the two smaller buildings at the moment. There is a more sparse flow to/from the third building of 'corporate drone' types wearing jumpsuits printed to give the impression of a shirt/tie/blazer combination, and shoes that look like house-slippers. 80% of the people here appear to be of Imperial descent, with the remaining 20% being Zhodanis and Terrans. (Contrary to popular myth, none of the Terrans are wearing cowboy hats at the moment!)
The ditzy recptionist swallows hard as Kaira delivers her speech. No gum chewing is noticed henceforth. "Zeering, you say? Very well, one moment please." "It" presses a 'call' button on "Its" intercom and says, "Mr. Selm, the people from Zeering are here." It pauses, presumably while 'Mr. Selm' answers. "Very well, I'll bring them right up." It hangs up the comm and to you it says, "That was Jovan Selm. He's actually a direct employee of Zeering like yourselves, but he is like our liaison with the Mother Corp. His title is Director of Oversight." It has been walking as it talked, and it took you around the corner to an elevator and up to the third level. It guides you down the hall and into a posh corner office, where it hands you off to Jovan Selm's personal assistant. "Excuse me, but I have to get back to my post. Minnie here will see to whatever needs you may have," and with that it exits the room. "Welcome! I'm Minnie, Mr. Selm's assistant. Can I get you some refreshment, an aperitif, perhaps?" Minnie is ALL smiles, to the point that you're not entriely certain you're going to be able to keep your breakfasts down, but there is absolutely NO doubt as to her gender. (Ahem!)
