Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gideon" data-source="post: 2129046" data-attributes="member: 2813">Introductions concludedA short fairly thin asian man stands "My name's Mason and I can kinda control electric fields but I also have a fairly expansive home grown aresenal to play with."  A short nod and his eyes drift back to the beautiful Lucy's...face.The next to last feller to speak jumps up on the table out of his seat.  A well kept goatee and a mess of curly red hair tops off all 3'2" of the 9th member of the team.  Wearing some jeans and a T-shirt his crooked smile Immediately sets you at ease "My name's Steve and this is my sister Lindsey."  At the mention of his sister you all seem to realize that there is someone sitting in the 10th seat.  A brown haired girl at a little over six feet sits quietly; hands folded, shoulders slumped, and the classic one eye covered by the hair.  When her name gets mentioned she pushes her hair out of her eyes slightly and with a shy smile gives a little wave.  "We're from Nova Scotia and as you can see, I am a little short and can control the probability of situations.  That makes me a statician's nightmare.  Hey, everybody should be able to scare sombody."  That crooked smile comes flashing back.  "Linds here can play with people's brains.  She doesn't even wear gloves...eww."A soft "Hi" tingles in your brain as if someone whispered something in your ear.  The voice is distinctly feminine.After his introductions, Steve hops back down to his chair and leans back still standing.  He couldn't see over the table sitting.Lt. Col. Savage looks at each of your faces before breaking into a wolfish smile.  "There, now we know each other.  Couple things I would like to point out.  Some of you are only known by your call signs.  If you want to keep it that way be sure to let us know.  Minerva will be up and running tomorrow and you can just let her know then.  Minerva is our computer system.  She is a lady, treat her like one."  Without raising his voice you all get the feeling that Savage's wrath should be avoided at all costs.  "No booze on the base and if you are under 21 don't get caught drinking.  The veranda is open for a cook out.  We can get the grub while you kids get to play together.  Major Caldwell is waiting for you so follow me."Lt. Col. Savage leads you out the double doors from the meeting room and down the left path of the T intersection.  After a slight bend to the right a large room filled with black pods and wires stands before you."Boys on the left, girls on the right.  You have a locker with your name on it.  Suit up in the black and silver suits."  You can see that there are two doors some 15 feet before the 'pod' room.  One is marked men, the other is marked ladies.</blockquote>
