Doctor Ross nodded gracefully; a slow, formal gesture, not quite a bow. "Lieutenant Doyle. It is a pleasure to meet you." She had shifted out of the clear evenness of her lecturing tone, and drifted back into her more refined, softer manner of speaking. A trace of her native accent, combined with her delicate manner, betrayed her heritage; a family of good breeding as well suited to affairs of Court, as it was to University. She continued;


"My name is Samantha Ross, I am head of the Theoretical and Applied Physics Branch of the Pryce Institute. Please allow me to introduce some of my colleagues. " She gestured to the man standing beside her, A tall, thin man apparently in his early seventies. "May I present Doctor Marcus Owens, Professor of Quantum mechanics, " (The man nodded pleasantly) "Doctor Ian Graham, Professor in the field of Particle physics." (The short, balding man, was slightly overweight, and had a fairly unkempt appearance compared to the others. He seemed to be about sixty) "Hello Lieutenant." He said.


Ross stepped aside slightly, and indicated the pair standing behind her, before continuing;

"Doctor Paul Donovan, Doctor of Biochemistry, " (This man was younger than the other two men, perhaps in his early to mid forties; about Doyles height, with jet black hair and sharp features. He nodded, somewhat curtly) "Doctor Gwendolyn Hart, Doctor of Mechatronic and Explorative Engineering."


The woman smiled and winked."That's two doctorates in one package; And it's just Gwen now that we're pals. Don't worry James, my labrats get only the best cheese." Graham coughed.


Denise Ellis watched as Doyle patiently endured the gauntlet of introductions.


He still looks exhausted She thought, though she admitted she might be only projecting her own condition. No, he definitely looks uncomfortable..is he ill again?

About a meter away, Angela Wight was considering much the same thoughts. He looks like he did, right before.. She considered everything she had seen so far, realizing the results of what she had seen, if not how.


Angela stepped off slightly from the group and spoke; "Pardon me Doctors. We are in the way. I believe the Lieutenant may wish to check on his vessel." She stood quietly, wondering if her suspicion was right.
