It's early Wednesday morning. As Valerie Novak waits for the espers (sans Yamanaka, of course - her agent is here instead) to finish entering the briefing room and be seated, she reviews her notes and the participants and sips her coffee.
There's the locals - Rhombus, Yamanaka('s agent), Starfist, and Traceless (...and Flywheel, technically). There's the people who heard the call and travelled here - Aumento, Menhir, and Skybreaker. And then there's Pendragon II and Flay, who, of the people they reached out to last night when they got the bad news from Menhir, were the ones willing and able to get here on such short notice. And... that's everyone, so they can get started.
