Abelard is seated at the end of the conference table, the ever-protective bodyguard, Mr. Murdoch standing behind him , with his secretary, Selena Preston sat at his right. A large German Shepherd sits in far corner of the room.
Professor David Drake and Doctor Sarah Matherson are also present, two of the employees that survived Cobb's Corners and escaped before the localized apocalypse began.
Leon Pasqualle waves the guards out and sits down to join the meeting. You notice right away that Drake and Matherson appear harried, and there is an atmosphere of gloom in the room.
Once you are seated and offered refreshments, Abelard begins in earnest.
"Welcome everyone. I trust you all know each other?"
All of you know those in attendance, either by repuatation or personally though you have not seen Matherson, the resident Mi-Go expert or Psychologist David Drake, since they travelled to Cobb's Corners some weeks ago.
"We have had a massive breakthrough in our fight against The Enemy. The location known as Broken Hill, just outside Cobb's Corners, discovered by Mathis Steele and his team, turns out to be an underground base. The Enemy managed to destroy it with an earthquake using their technology. We lost 50 men in the process but all the Mi-Go present were destroyed in the process."
OOC:
Some of you remember reading news reported of an earthquake in the Green Mountains, but hadn't thought it was related to this.
"As you know, the recent events in Cobb's Corners has resulted in the deaths or abduction of our student recruits, including Mathis Steele. The search continues for evidence of what happened to them. Their sacrifice will be avenged but their work in combatting the alien threat has proved invaluable. So, now we come to you. How do you feel about saving the World?"
