A couple of hard looking men in suits and sunglasses sat in a booth watching you as you passed through."I'm telling you, this just proves my theory. Look at the psych and genetic profiles," a young man was saying to another, middle-aged man, in the conference room as you walked in."Rubbish," the other man. "Just like your theory. Extraordinary people simply survive extraordinary events, they aren't attracted to them.""Gentleman," a third man said. "Our new agents are here."There were five people in the conference room. One man, seated at the head of the table, who had interrupted the other two, was a middle aged man, with a black hair going to gray."I'm Director Lionel Stanfield," he said, introducing himself. "I run this facility. I'm the Department Seven Field Director for Chicago. Why don't you have a seat and we'll begin?""And I'm a researcher with Department Fifteen, Leo Callison. I look after our storage and research of unusual items," said a young man with brown hair and a nice suit, one of the men who had been talking when you came in."I'm Harland Downing," said the other man. He spoke with a crisp British accent. Late forties, you'd guess. Black hair and green eyes. Looked like a fairly distinguished gentleman. "I'm a specialist," he doesn't expand on that."John Ryker," says a fourth man. He's a red head, with a military bearing. "Department Thirteen. I'm the quartermaster here.""You can call me Z," says the only female present. She's working on a laptop as she talks. Young, early twenties, with green hair and eyes hidden behind sunglasses. "Regional head of Department Fourteen, computing services. I maintain the OSIRS system here, and everything else to do with electronics."The conference room itself seems fairly standard. A long table, with about twenty or so chairs around it. There was one unusual thing, however. That was a translucent hologram of the planet hovering over some form of projector in the center of the table.</blockquote>
