[A Machine for Sins] Prelude: Friday Night At The Office

"If you don't mind me asking, where did they set up?"


One thing he'd learned as a boy scout is that where you set up your tents was importent in that it determined how much the weather would impact it. Often what at first lookede like a good place, actually wasn't.
 
She shrugs.


"Honestly? I don't know. Haven't been out there. I have to trust in their expertise, I suppose."


"Does anyone have any further questions before I give the official speech and we break up for the night?"
 
Missy stifled another yawn and rubbed her forehead. She looked back at Nina with a smile and a shrug at the silence in the room. "Honestly? Jet lag has just about eaten my powers of comprehension, and I'm about ready to crash. I think we'll be able to pick some things up as we go along, so by all means," she gestured for her to go ahead.
 
Nina smiles back, and echoes the shrug.


"All right. Brace for doublespeak, ladies and gentlemen, this is written and approved by the men upstairs..."


She gives a dry, predictable speech - welcome to the company, very excited to have you, etc, etc. She delivers it with staggering disinterest, takes a big gulp of coffee at the end, and smiles again.


"Right, out of the way. Would you all mind meeting back here at 10AM tomorrow? If any of you are lacking for accommodation there are rooms booked for you in The Huntsman nearby."
