Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

The next day

You all arrive at the Institute building at roughly the same time. The building is a three story facility downtown with no signs or indications on the outside as to what the building actually is. It's also fifteen blocks away from the official Hoffmann Institute facility in Chicago. Apparently, the Institute likes to keep its secret activities separated from its public ones. All the windows are tinted, so that it's impossible to see what's going on inside from the outside.

The reception area inside the front door is a bit run down, and looks fairly normal. Two security cameras in opposite corners sweep the room, and a young red-head is seated at the receptionist's desk. An ID card on her suit indicates that she is one L. Forge. She looks up at you as you enter.

"Good, you're on time. They're waiting for you in the conference room. Just follow the hall beyond that door," she indicates a door to her left. "to the end. Present your ID card at the security checkpoint, and verify it through a retinal scan."

Meredith nervously fishes the ID out of her purse and clutches it in her hand in response to the receptionist's words. She gives 'L. Forge' a wan smile, and murmurs "Thanks," before hurrying down the hallway. She greets each of the others with a quick smile and nod as well, but doesn't seem made of words this particular morning.

At the checkpoint at the end of the hall, she shows her ID and fumbles slightly as she puts it away. Then she removes her glasses and peers into the little thing she assumes is the retinal scanner. Though she manages to stay calm, it's clear to anyone watching that she's very nervous throughout all this.

(PS - shouldn't this be in the 'Playing the Game' forum? :))

I'm not sure, actually. Maybe change the title of the thread to "Moderator, please move to Plaing the Game?"

Then change it back when it gets moved?

"Thank you, miss," Cade says to the young receptionist, as well as a sly smile. However, it is quickly replaced with a more professional and calm look as Cade looks to his compatriots from the previous adventure.

Currently, Cade is dressed in what would pass for business casual, which is an off-white, long-sleeved denim shirt that is tucked into a pair of olivedrab khakis that end in a pair of well-worn, yet cared for brown hiking boots. Over all of this the young man wears the same brown, leather coat that rests just above his knees.

Although you're sure he is carrying his sidearm, concealed, you definately do not see any sign of the sword.

After reaching the security checkpoint, Cade seems to take it all in stride, especially the ret-scan, in fact he appears to mumble something about it being a more cutting edge model, almost bleeding edge, but he quickly shakes it off, as he tries to project a casual demeanor about all of this.

Upon reaching the door, Cade will hold it open, first for Meredith and then for the rest of you. Even if he is a techie, Cade's a country boy, through and through.

Flashing smiles left and right, Larry struts into the building. He seems to exude confidence as he walks to the receptionist. In an excellent impression of Sean Connery, he says "Higgins, Lawrence Higgins." Some harmless flirtation afetrwards, he moves towards the retinal scanner. He shakes hands warmly with Cade, and bows over Merdith's hand. He is on full charm mode, and trying his best to put the rest of the squad at ease.

OOC: I think you just have to PM one of the mods and ask them to move it.

Used to be, but after the great fall of May '06 I never got my status back. maybe I'll resubscribe one day again.
