Once everyone is settled, the large man speaks, "My name is Michael Abelard, President, and founder of Federated Oil and Chemical. The Scotsman in the front is Mr. Murdoch and this is my personal assistant, Selena Preston."
With pleasantries out of the way he gets straight down to business, "Some years ago, my son, Michael Junior and I were mountaineering in the Pyrenees. There was an accident there, it took my sons life and cost me my legs. It was widely reported in the news. I'm sure one or two of you read the story, but what wasn't public was who, or what was behind the accident."
He looks at each of you then his gaze falls on Mathis, " Aliens, called the mi-go, were behind this tragedy and it has been my mission, nay, my quest to hunt them down and make them pay."
He waits a moment to let it sink in, watching each of you for your reaction, "The real reason my company funded the Miskatonic University field trips to Vermont was to look for signs of the aliens. I know about the attack on the university's library and science buildings, the mi-go were behind the attack, but please, tell me what happened from your point of view."
