[QUOTE="Falkus, post: 4946908, member: 22634"] After several moments, Stanfield walked into the room, setting a folder down on the table as he sat. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"] "Good to see all of you," [/COLOR]he said, nodding at Team Libra.[COLOR="RoyalBlue"] "I've got something nice and easy for you today, a simple fact finding mission, nothing grand. Nice change of pace, eh? A quiet, little investigation."[/COLOR] He tapped a few keys, and brought up the hologram, displaying the front page of the national inquirer. Secretary Abducted by Aliens! was the headline. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"] "Megan Brandowich, aged twenty-seven, secretary for the manager of the Crystolleum Chemical plant in the town of Greenway Crossing.
