Each of you is bathed in blue light, and you can see numerous dark and identical silhouettes behind raised podiums, each with a small amount of blue light behind them.  You cannot see how large the room is, because the light is not diffuse enough to reach the walls.  You each find a chair in front of you, and a long, semicircular table.  You see that there are others besides you nearby that you recognize.  You see Admiral Westwind, Lieutenant Kiran, a couple military folks whose names you don't know, but one of whom was present at the naval base, one of the guardsmen who was helping guard Aleena who was wounded in the attack, and Aiden ZarunOne of them speaks, in that same commanding male voice as the first Lord that Timrin met.   "Thank you all for coming.  We have convened this meeting to investigate the matter of the events of the past night.  Hidden Shield representatives, please begin your account."</blockquote>
