Discovery

        The helicopter made its touchdown and the Professor, Thomas Kalvin, got out the helicopter. Standing about 5ft9in, the 32-year-old Geology teacher and expert. He wasn't much, physically, mentally and intellectually, but he knew the topic of Geology and all subjects that came with and included it like it was one plus one. So, his reaction, excitement and intrigue when he was approached and brought in to, quote-on-quote, "make use of his talents" as they put it, you could say was high. 

         "Mr. Thomas Kalvin" A voice said, "Welcome." Looking up, he saw a man and woman both in a black overcoats...the man had all but the collar fastened, and woman had the everything from the collar to the waist and beltline together... black tactical combat gloves, a Caucasian skin tone(though only the heads gave that away, as their whole body was covered), and sunglasses. The man was 6 feet and 4 inches tall, at least. A very, very thick 5o'clock shadow on his face, and about 4ish-inch long black hair. Smirking with is lower right arm to the side. While the woman to the right [his left] stood there at a towering six feet and a 6 inches tall. With a stern and serious look on her face and her arms crossed. Despite the big overcoat, her body physic was barely hidden. She looked like a female John Rambo. "Great, as if she wasn't frightening and intimidating enough" Thomas thought to himself. 

         "I am Savoy Galloway," the man stated in a native Canadian accent. His words came [off] with a nonchalant tone of voice that demanded respect and commanded authority and established control. The man lowering his head, but still allowing an ability to maintain eye contact, and placing his fingers on chest as he spoke his identity, greeting him. "And this is Ida Everett" he said slightly turning his head and putting his arm to his left, presenting her. "Hhmmm" she casually replied, raising her left forearm, thumb, index and middle finger. Keeping her stern serious look on her face the whole time. It sounded more like a Hey, but forgot to open her mouth, than anything else. She clear did not want to be there/here. "And We're in charge of security here. I would shake your hand but were already wasting time. Please come us" finished Savoy. They made their way to a black and grey Rally Fighter.

       "Wait..." a female voice exclaimed. Everyone stopped. Turning to the source of the voice they all turned to Idas' direction. "You did sign the form before coming here right?" She asked in a Greek accent "ah, right ...Right?" she persisted.  "No. I never got no such thing" the geologist replied, slightly confused.  "Malakas" she said aloud to herself. "What...?" asked Thomas, "It's Greek" an interjecting Savoy cleared up. "Here you go" she said handing him a clipboard with a sheet of paper on it. "Read on the way there'" the 6ft stoic Greek and female Rambo practically commanded more than said, as if it was an order. "There? There were" asked professor Kalvin. "You gonna come with us, and see, or procrastinate with questions all day?" she asked. Sounded slightly agitated. "Ya know why you need to sign this?" Asked Galloway as he, Everett, and Thomas made their way to the car. "No" replied Thomas. "Well then, all shall be reviled in time" He replied back going around the driver seat. Thomas got to sit shotgun and Ida sat in the middle seat in back. They drove for a while, in complete silence. Kalvin was busy reading what Ida had given him. Until Galloway finally broke the silence. "Aye, Sorry about Ida" the Canadian said. "She not talker but it gets better as you get to know her. Ain't that right Ida?" she just remained silent and gave him a death stare. "You've been here a while? aske the proffesor. "Indeed" Galloway replied, "I've been here since this began 5 years ago. And have been in commanding status for 3 years now" he explained. "Ida here got here half a year ago. The Echelons; the ones funding and supplying all [of] this, sent her as a secondary overseer" The Geologist just turned and looked at Ida after that. She didn't even flinch. "What is it you do here?" Kalvin asked, both to keep the conversation going, and out of genuine curisity. "Do you like breathing" Ida replied, seemingly out of nowhere, "and the act of existence, Malaka?" Dispite being very unnerved, Thomas replied "Yes, I do find them very nice this to be doing." "Then cease continueing to ask questions and do your job." she retorted. The way she spoke... It was a suggetion, or even a (true) threat, it was an order to be followed.
