"Morning-Glory will show you to your apartment, then. And you're of course free to explore our worlds if you'd like to."

"Thank you."

Director Grey stands and offers her hand to shake. "Welcome to the OTC."

Siobhán is honestly stunned for a moment, though she manages to keep it off her face. Then she decides to assume the inoffensive meaning. "Thank you, I look forward to seeing more of your organization and what you've built."

Director Grey smiles. "Morning-Glory?"

She sweeps a hand across the contents of the table, vanishing them. Then she stands and opens the door. "I'll show you two to your condo now, if you would like."

"That would be appreciated."

"This way." 

Morning-Glory steps out the door and into the hallway.

They follow, "Do you think it would be possible to arrange a tour of OTC worlds?"

"Yes, quite possible. We'd have to arrange the itinerary beforehand, but it would be very doable. Just down the hall here to the circle room, if you please."

"Of course."

Morning-Glory steps into a large runic circle, and gestures for her guests to follow.

As soon as everyone's in the circle, there's a soft flash of light and the room flickers to a different one.

"This way, just around the corner to the right." Windows on the left look out onto a city of carbon-fiber towers; they must be on the fiftieth floor or so.  "Here are your keys." They look charmingly antique, and are engraved with runes all over.

"Thank you."

"Are there any rules about magic use in this facility?"

"So long as you observe proper safety protocols for your own world and magic it should be safe."

"Good to know." She takes the keys and opens the door.

It's a mimimalist-style condo with a great view of the city. Kitchen, living room, laundry room, guest bedroom, master bedroom, bathroom.

"Thank you, this will definitely suffice. We needn't take up any more of your time."

"Here's my cell number, you have a landline here you can call me on if you need anything. I hope you enjoy your stay."

"Thank you again."

"It's no problem."

And she turns and leaves.

Siobhán sighs. "I really hope this wasn't a mistake."

"If they're expanding at anything like the rate we think they are then we could have bought maybe a few years, a decade at most and they would have found out we were intentionally avoiding them. Also their oracles can already see us if I understood correctly. If they thought to ask they could have found us even faster."

"Yeah... Just you heard what she said, they expect to absorb us, for us to become a small part of their sphere."

"Maybe, I think she was surprised by our abilities though, it sounds like for all their scale they focus on a few powerful people."
