The Meeting

[Chev]

As couple of minutes passed, elevator began to slow down. Rachel stood up, facing every visitor.
- I would like to inform you, that we will be entering the EMP zone soon. For the sake of privacy and security of the project, you won't be able to use any kind of communication devices, take pictures et cetera. If you have any kind of EMP-sensitive implants and they were described in your registration form, then they won't be affected.
Soon, a toneless hum could be heard. Room stops moving. Rachel looks at the panel and smiles.
- Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope the trip wasn't too long. I welcome you to Baltakis' Science Facility.
The doors opens, exposing the dark room to the visitors. The size of it can't be told clearly, since the only source of light are few dim white lamps, placed on the only object visible in the room - the huge oval table with seven chairs. Everything else around is dark and kinda claustrophobic. Rachel stretches her hand in the same manner as she done outside the elevator, showing guests to proceed. As everyone leaves an elevator, Rachel stays behind them, still making the same firm smile.
- Everyone, please take your seats. Mr. Baltakis shall come soon.

As each guest takes a seat, a blue panel appears in front of him or her on the surface of the table. Panel indicates a name of guest, and has few options of "water", "coffee" and "tea". Once any of the option is chosen, a cup with wanted content rises from a hole on the table.

After couple of minutes, door somewhere in the end of the room opens and closes, letting a tall human figure with a stick in his hands to enter the room.
- Welcome to the Baltakis' Science Facility, dear guests! - A voice echoes through the room.
As soon, as the man comes closer the table, he's being lighted by lamps from a table. Daniel is tall, blond male in his mid-thirties., wearing a standard suit.
- Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce myself. My name is Daniel Baltakis, the final founder of this facility and the system I will introduce to you today. We will have to wait a bit before the introduction, since the power core is making the final steps before the launch of the system. At the moment, since the final steps are not made, the system requires huge amount of well-balanced energy. So, before I start introduction, I want everyone to introduce themselves.
