Jack properly answered the greeting from John. “Dr. Jack Talis, pleased to meet you,” he said calmly and friendly as if answering a fellow colleague while returning the handshake equally. It wouldn’t hurt to be nice since they were to be working together. Creating unnecessary friction would just be an impairment to the job. Looking John in the eyes, there seemed to be more than the typical dumb military man behind them. Jack was already adjusting his opinion of his new colleague to a more positive one.<br/>“Please excuse me, I’ll go freshen up a bit. “<br/>He picked up his bag and left the umbrella behind before going upstairs to find the room assigned to him. It was a relatively nice room. Cleaner than expected. Jack put down his bag and first inspected the room. Even though it appeared to have been cleaned, it has been at least several days because the dust was already accumulating slightly. The floor did not creak neither did the bed. The closet had enough space for his clothes as he unpacked his travel bag. The other clothes should arrive later. The single window looked out towards the driveway, all the cars had left already. There was barely any decoration in the room, which he didn’t mind at all. Jack couldn’t resist checking the lamps and the small picture and mirror for any bugs. As expected, he didn’t find any. Being content with his room, he changed into a everyday outfit and put on his lab coat. He looked forward to finding out more about this building and the provided equipment.
