Reuniting a Man with his Machines

[Crowley]

Sailas gritted his teeth but maintained his composure.

This fucking guy.

"Ikarus Station is in a near constant state of construction in preparation for our Ikarus Phase 2 project in which the entire station will be effectively dismantled and rebuilt for the purposes of our research." he stopped near the door labeled Section 2 and stopped to face Albert, making a point to look at him in the eyes. "Research which is classified."

Without another word, he opened the door and allowed the momentum of it's opening to silently thud on the wall.

"Your equipment is inside. If you need assistance moving it, please be sure to let my team know and we will do our best to assist. Bay doors are on the opposite side of the room with access to the hallway behind us for the larger items."

His communicator chirped and he opened it to answer the call. A young woman's voice came through.

"Da--er--Dr.Montgomery?"

"What is it, Dr. Emery. We have guests that I am supervising." Sailas said curtly.

"Uhm...well OSI reps are here to review the Biodome project for Ikarus Phase 2. Would you like me to--"

"Direct them to Mooring station Alpha, I will be there as soon as you arrive to replace me. Mooring platform Charlie, section 2."

"On my way...sir."

He closed the communicator and looked to Albert once more as his crew entered the room.

"As soon as Dr. Emery arrives, she will assist in supervising the removal of your equipment. I have other tasks that need doing."

With that, he leaned against the nearby wall and gestured for him to enter the room where his equipment was stored.
