FLY25 immediately saw the new hire. He walked briskly towards his new teammate, while thoughts of longer vacation days swirled in his head. The intoxicating idea of having more rest was too irresistible for him. Although he seemed to be caught up with his thoughts, FLY25 chased away such and instantly entered his "professional mode". In just a few steps, he reached the bench where FLY33 was seated. He stood in front of him (FLY33) and observed his new colleague for a few seconds. He noticed that FLY33 looked young, probably even younger than the age indicated in the employee file passed on to him by the receptionist.

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you're legal? You didn't fake your personal information, right?"

FLY33 was surprised to hear a well-modulated voice from the person in front of him. He didn't think that his new colleague would have such a soothing voice, considering that he seemed to be gruff and grumpy. Thus, he couldn't help but take a second look at his new "supervisor". Upon a closer look, he realized that his new workmate seemed to be relatively young. He was quite impressed with the thought that his new boss was so great to be able to reach his position at such an age.

FLY25 needed to call his attention when he noticed that FLY33 seemed to be spacing out. He repeated his question in a much louder volume, and yet the other seemed to have not heard him still. FLY25 frowned, looked down at the name of the new hire on the employee file, and called out the other's name.

"FLY33! FLY33, please pay attention."

Hearing his name, FLY33 stood up in attention and immediately answered. "Yes, Sir!"

"Good! Now that we have you back on earth, let me introduce myself. I'm FLY25. I am the team leader of the Fact Check Committee or FCC. Before I go into the details regarding the work, let's go to our office so you can meet the team." FLY25 turned around and walked without looking back towards the FCC office.
