His expression changed to a somewhat puzzled frown as the speech continued, and the high level clearences were trotted out.<em>This is very weird.</em>he thought, the thought slithering to a halt as the images flashed up onto the projection and he leaned in to get a better look.<br/><br/>His first thought was denial, Barnes words aside this had to be a joke. He believed in aliens, but it was an intellectual belief, that statistically we couldn't be the only intelligent life in the Universe. Having it on a screen in front of him was another matter, and he shook his head as he began to process it all. No one would waste the amount of money it would take to get him here just for a joke.<br/><br/><em>Wait, Kyoto?</em>His mind siezed on that one.<em>But Kyoto was a attack by that doomsday cult. It was all over the news, some chemical or bioweapon attack. They had to burn all the bodies afterwards to .. oh, fuck me.</em>His head turned towards the young woman who had just vocalised his own thoughts.<br/><br/><em>We are the first, last and only line of defense against rampaging alien hordes. Wonderful, we're the Men In Black.</em>he pushed down the laugh that was threatening to erupt, shaking his head again before looking at Barnes.<br/><br/>"This is a hell of thing to have to take in, Sir." he said, nodding his thanks to Megan as he took a PAD from her. "I guess I can understand why it all has to be kept quiet." He blew out a long breath. "I've probably got a ton of questions kicking around, but I guess I can hold off til I've had a chance to read through this." he said, lifting the PAD up. "Gonna be a little time before it all sinks in properly, you know?"
