While Grace did her best to listen attentively, part of her was still focused on what Layla had told her and on her fellow pilot. What should they do from here? Could they trust anyone, or was the organization corrupt to the core? And what exactly had happened to Layla, before and after that incident?

Noticing that Layla hadn't taken a seat, Grace caught her eye and then gestured to the open spot on the couch beside her- then realized that Director Elvenes had stopped talking. Her eyes flicked back towards him, and she took a moment to recall what had just been said. "Okay." There might have been one or two things she could have asked, but she thought he'd probably address them in what he said next anyway.
