0008: NEW ARRIVAL BRIEFING

Who: New Arrivals, Graham Baker
Where: Briefing Room
When: Late afternoon, Aprilo 29th
Warnings: None

When awakening, the immediate surroundings are swarming with activity and very chaotic. The people in the medical ward are polite and understanding, but firmly refuse to answer questions until the briefing. Especially not after some group of kooks earlier decided that they'd throw a tantrum and bug out of the hospital before anything can get said. Either given hospital outfits resembling very comfortable pajamas, drone bodies, or their own bodies, they are escorted by polite, unyielding people in red and black uniforms to the briefing room. Fortunately for the robots, things are much more organized.

The Briefing room is large. Not enough to accommodate a giant, but spacious enough for several dozen people. The tiles are black and featureless while the walls are nice, soothing colors. The chairs are high-backed and well-cushioned, more like comforting eggs floating a foot or so off the ground than anything else. Set into the ceiling and floor near the front is a large holographic projector. The floor in front of each seat also has a smaller projector, allowing people to see what the bigger device is showing without having to angle for a view. As of now, it merely displays a rotating pyramid.

Ten members of Security line the walls and various exits, looking rather displeased to be here. Graham Baker, a balding man in an ill-fitting suit, stands at the head of the room with an easy smile, seemingly unbothered by any previous ruckus.

[Questions to the NPCs will go in the briefing thread. The rest of the post is there for people to mill about and do whatever with. The mods will not be doing hangar/medical awakenings unless it's specifically asked for.]

Axl was on his way to the center to look at job listings and decide how he wanted to get money. The place didn't, alas, operate on zenny so any random bits of money in his armor's storage was just going to be a curiosity... maybe he'd look into those mercenaries that got mentioned, see if he could strike out on his own if nothing looked good-- if Red was able to run an independent organization, no reason why he couldn't. (Well, ok, maybe a part-time job was going to be a prudent fall-back...)

The downside of the crowd combined with wearing his combat armor meant that it was really easy for people to trip on the stabilizing wings on his back if they weren't paying attention... and it looked like someone had, hard enough to knock him a little off-balance.

"Watch it yourself, lady. Jeeze," Axl said, making a face at the hooded figure who had plowed right into him.
