IC: A Look Around
Background:
You’ve all been in training for two or three weeks at the DIMR office in Bellevue. If you want, the office has made arrangements for special asset accommodations (which aren’t fancy, but they pay for them) at the Renton Inn, or at a more remote coffin motel in Redmond with the badly humorous name of Stoker’s. If you already have your own accommodations, that’s fine.
Meeting:
You show up for your afternoon training, but instead get taken to an internal conference room, with no windows. The lady at the end of the table is fairly young, tall, thin, black, and wears her hair in a short afro. She’s wearing a simple, straight dress in a dark green, and is flipping through something on her link as you come in.
Looking up with a slight smile, she says, “Good morning. I’m Sylvia Roberts. Some of you know me already. Some don’t. At least for now, I’m going to be handling your assignments. I’m the head of our Special Assets division for this facility, such as it is at the moment. If you’ve been paying attention, you know your team is our first real foray into internal operatives for this sort of thing. As we grow, you may end up with another liaison, but for now, I’m it.”
“I’m going to assume that you’ve seen one another in passing during your training, but since some of you have been in different areas or on different schedules, I’ll give you a few minutes to get acquainted, before we get you going on your first assignment.”
