Section 13 HQ, Austin Texas

Just another day on the job. The Section 13 HQ is disguised as a two story research lab, but extends far underground, 13 floors in fact. It is 6:00 am and you have all started to arrive.

The story under the "cover" is easily accessed through a backroom elevator. Two guards, heavily armed nod as you pass. A brown haired secretary, named Bonnie Runner, types away at her computer.

(This is a good time to introduce characters)

Micah walks past Bonnie's desk, tearing pieces off a bread roll he purchased on the way. He doesn't notice the other people in the room until Bonnie calls him back, "Oi, Pethune! Get back here and meet the people you're working with."
He hastily turns round, stuffing the roll into his pocket, and comes face to face with a powerfully built man, a handgun prominently displayed on his hip. Street thug, maybe a hitman, is the first idea to run through Micah's mind. He sticks his hand out, saying, "Hey, I'm Micah. And you are?"

[Istari]

Sam sits on chair in the room typing on his laptop. When he hears Micah speak he barely glances up and says "Sam" before going back to his laptop

[Greystone]

Bonnie gets a call on her desk phone and looks up "When you all get here, Director Sims would like to see you"

[Deathslayer7]

(i assume the powerfully built man is me?? If so, consider him more tall around 6' 3'' and has long monkey arms built around a stable frame. Probably should have mentioned that earlier.)

David frimly grabs the mans hand as he shakes it, making eye contact with him. David. he says. Got transferred here from the local police station i used to work at.

He carefully watches both sam and Micah to see their reactions.

[Deathslayer7]

[Galileo]

Sorry 'bout that. I'll avoid it in future.

Micah glances at Bonnie. "You mean there's more to come?"

[Genios]

Alan walks in, looking uncomfortable. "He...llo?" In his hand is a napkin with a disgusting looking sandwich on it. He holds up the napkin and squints at a scrawled note written on it. "I was told to come here by my, um...agent. Yeah. Agent." He glances at his bright orange "Convict" badge, which is half-tucked into his front shirt pocket.

[Deathslayer7]

David spots the convict badge immediately and frowns. Was he going to be working with convicts he thought? Is that his new assignment?

[Greystone]

Bonnie nods "Yeah, there is six of you"

[Galileo]

Six, eh? Well, then, let's just sit back and wait. What'd you say your name was? He directed the last part at the new arrival.

[Istari]

Sam turns off his laptop and addresses the others "What do you think the director wants to see us for?"

[Genios]

Huh? Alan. Alan Crane. Alan takes a bite of his sandwich and looks at David. Hey! Keep your eyes to yourself...or something. Hehe. He tucks the orange badge deeper into the pocket and crosses his arms over it.

[Galileo]

Micah answers Sam through a mouthful of bread. Who nofe? Swallowing, he continues, Really, it could be anything. And we're gonna find out soon enough, so let's not waste time speculating. Who's up for poker? He pulls out a pack of cards and looks around hopefully.

[Deathslayer7]

David frowns at the group. Apparently he was going to be stuck with them. A convict, a gambler, the guy with a computer was probably a hacker no doubt. And Micah... a drug dealer he bet. He sighed and shook his head, refusing the game. and the last one he thought?

[Fisher]

Alton Weber
Through the entrance stumbles a young man, breathing deeply as if just finishing a cross town marathon. After waiting a moment to catch his breath he approached the desk and states

"Sorry I'm late, missed the city bus. Again. Agent Weber to see Director Simms."

[Carinthium]

Denarid frowned to himself. "Fine, you have a deal! Now let me go about my buisness!"

He rushed for the door, hoping he could reach his car in time. At least he might be able to catch some of the briefing...

[Greystone]

As the six of you get to the room, Bonnie smiles and gives you directions to briefing room B. As you walk there you pass the cubicales and offices of Section 13.

Finally you enter the briefing room and Simms greets you. She is a 5'11 woman with tanned skin and dark brown hair.

"Good Morning team"

[Genios]

(@Fisher: Hey, don't steal my text color!)

Good morning, uh... Miss? Alan holds out his hand to shake with her.

[Istari]

"So you wanted to see us?"

[Greystone]

She raises an eyebrow at Alan and does not take the hand "You may call me Director or Dr. Simms, is that clear" the tone is calm but with an air of authority.

"I have called you all here for a very... delicate mission"

[Deathslayer7]

what kind of mission? David asks looking suspiciously at those who he suspected.

[Greystone]

"To explain that, we have a... specialist" and Simms pointed towards the door.

A tall man in a black suit walked in. He is bald with the evidence of faint old burns on the side of his head. His dark eyes glint merrily at you and he flashes a smile "The names Agent Daniel Donner, CIA liason to the UN"

Without preamble, Simms sat down at the rooms long table while Donner went to the rooms promethium board.

With a few clicks of a controller he brought up a map of the world and zoomed in on the Caribbean. A large glowing area shown against the screen in a triangle.

"Who can tell me what this is?"

[Istari]

Sam speaks up "Isn't the like the Bermuda Triangle or something? Like where all those planes and ships go down."

[Greystone]

Donner nodded "Exactly. Our satellites picked up a flare in energy from this location. We sent in a squad of Green Berets to check it out but as soon as they entered the zone we lost contact with them."

Statistics read across the screen "We would like you to go in there and investigate what the source of the power is"

Simms coughed, brown eyes glinting at the agent and the man cleared his throat "AND find what happened to the Berets"

[Deathslayer7]

and just how exactly do you plan to have us do this? David asks, looking at the group quietly.

[Greystone]

Donner smiled at David "Us in the Government field make... odd contacts" he clicks the button again and the picture of a man and a woman appear.

"Sheila VanGoh and Dr. Lucien Brisby" Donner said, clicking to the next slide, showing mugshots of the two "Convicted felons, released due to lack of evidence. Sheila is a cat burglar of the highest level, and information broker. Her partner Brisby designs Technology and weapons to be sold on the black market"

"The two have been overlooked because of their willingness to aid the US government. But we can't send in well known operatives to speak with them. The first step on your mission is to rendezvous with the pair in The Florida Keys. Further instructions will be given to you by them"

[Carinthium]

Denarid thought to himself. Some ideas for how to go about this had already come into his head. He didn't speak, though- he didn't want to give them a reason to actually use the dirt they had on him.

[Istari]

A quick flash or recognition enters Sam's face we he sees the picture "So are we flying over to Florida then?"
