The Meeting Room
"You need to learn some patience, Miguel," Silvertip says, a bit of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Guess your right, been poor all my life, I can wait another 24 hours. Miguel says with a chuckle.

Suddenly, both Silvertip and Jersey Devil begin to beep. Activating their communicators, they both reply afirmatives to a voice none of you can hear. "Well, looks like we can't stick around for all the interesting lawyer stuff, kiddies," Devil says as he and Silvertip make their way out the door, "but it's back to work. See you soon."

Watch your back devil, don't make our first mission a search and rescue. He says teasing Jersey Devil.

"Or not. Anyone have any money?" she asks innocently, tryng to give off the everyone's favorite kid-sister vibe.

Sorry, until tomorrow I'm as broke as you are.

"Did someone say they needed clothes?" Tyroc says, suddenly interested. "I do love to shop. And I can spot you money to get yourself what you need without much hassle. And hey, it's downtown New York. We should hit the underground mall!"

"Yea, like I said, all I have is what I'm wearing, and thats because agent Dunn and agent Daniels stopped at the mall on the way to the airport so I wouldn't have to make the trip here in a police blanket." Rachel explains. "Well, I am new here, well, new anywhere, except San Francisco, so I really am going to need help finding my way around."

At Tyrone's offer, the teen smiles gratefully, "My hero." she gives the black man's clothes an appraising glance, not that she really knows clothes at all, but they did really seem to suit, so she decides to at least ask. "I haven't ever really gone shopping, or had the money to, so I can use all the help I can get, what do you think? Can you help me? I promise to be a blank slate, never had the chance to get a fashion sense before." she asks, looking up at Tyrone expectantly.

"I am totally coming too!" Aaron blurts as he quickly scrawls his name on the contract papers. Anxious to be around another teen ager for a change, even the tedium of shopping can't bring him down.
 

"Oh boy, oh boy! I get to pick out clothes for a woman. Talk about role reversal," Tyrone jokes. "Hey, Angie, how long until the lawyers get here? Should we wait for them first before getting Rachel some new threads?

"And anyone else wanna come? Sara, Jen, Kiro, Miguel?" he asks the room.
 

I hate dealing with the snake-eyed little creeps, but they seem to be a necessity in this day and age. Like Tyrone, I am going to wait for the lawyers to scan this contract. So when are they going to get here? Good luck, she calls to the exiting members of American Freedom.

Sure, I'd love to come. I don't really need any clothes though.
 

Sarah, who's not said much as she studied the contract in front of her, says, "It looks sound, but I'm no lawyer. I won't be signing anything until a lawyer can go over it with me, either. But I guess I'll come shopping, too. Not going to hang around here by myself."

Kiro looks over his contract too, but just sets it down with a sigh. "I am not sure what some of these words even mean. I will wait, as well."

The lawyers, a team of five, soon appear. They look over the contract, speaking with Winters as they do. After fifteen minutes of that, they help each of you that has not yet signed, going over each aspect of the contract with you.

Those of you that have signed are ushered out of the room by a young male staff member. He brings you to the infimiry, where a doctor and three nurses are on hand to complete your physicals. You're poked and proded and asked questions. You're given a couple injections to help with your immunization and they collect skin, hair, blood and urine samples from each of you for further testing. You're happy once the process is over, and you're assured that future physicals will not be as thorough.

Over an hour later, the lawyers are finished, and they appear confident that the contract contains nothing untowards to any of you. The only sticking point they can see is that while the contract is binding on your end, you can be released from it if your actions or behavior warrent it. Winters shrugs it off, stating it would have to be something extreme for anyone to be released, pointing out Neutron's drug problems last year, and the help he received and readmintance to AF, as an example.

After that, (assuming you sign), everyone else is given the same physicals as the first group. By the time that is all done, it's about 12:30.

"If you are leaving, it important that you be back here by 2:30 for the press conference," Winters tells the group. "That gives you two hours. Once the conference is done, you're free to do as you wish for the rest of the day, so just make sure you are here for it, alright? You offically begin your stint as a member of Aegis tomorrow morning at 8 AM. See you at 2:30."

Misha pops in after the phsyicals, "Shopping, sounds like fun," but he thinks to himself, fun like ramming a needle through my eye... he continues to smile though. Misha asks, "If anyone needs a ride, I have my car parked outside. Unless you plan to fly."
 

Rachel gives Misha her best kid sister look, something that she had gotten practice at in the orphanage. "Can we have that lunch first? I'm sure they have a food court at this mall thing Tyrone wants us to go to." She looks around trying to figure out who exactly was interested in going with her to help her pick out clothes.

"It looks like everyone is going to be coming, that is like soo cool, I mean, its like our first thing we are all gonna do together as a team. I'm really glad that you guys are gonna come and help me do this stuff. I hope you guys wont take me not knowing much about stuff against me, I mean, everyone but me was like a cop or in the military or was parto f whatever went on with Bio-whatever. I hope I don't dissapoint all of you."
 

"You're better for not being part of the Bio-whatever experience," Tyrone says semi-seriously. "And if training was a pre-requisite for this job, most of us wouldn't be here."

"Actually, I kind of thought we'd just hoof it. The mall is like 6 blocks away, and personally, my caddy is really happy in it's current parking place. We can grab some munchies in the food court, sure, or there's a great Chinese smorg by the JC Penny we can hit before we go shopping. Trust me, shopping with me is a whirlwind experience. An hour will be plenty, right Aaron?" he grins, remembering the shopping trip in Colorado.
