The conference room at MacGregor Towers was nothing to sneeze at. In fact, one wouldn’t dare sneeze inside for fear of decorating the plate glass that covered almost every available surface. In the rectangular space, two of the cathedral-high walls were pure windows, overlooking the great city of Lerinae, while the other shorter wall was pure see-through glass, showing the lobby of the large, white office. The fourth long wall was glass-covered white walls, giving the illusion that the space was larger, longer. It was immaculately lit, not to harsh, not too soft. And hidden plugs for every sort of display device decorate the walls, white-tiled floor, and long, white table that was lined with clear, ergonomic chairs. Only soft touches of blues and green in the plant life that decorate about three spots of the room were the colors that were allowed to exist in this white space.<br/><br/>While Eveline and her parents already seated at one end of the massive table, Gloria was walking quickly through the lobby towards the large double doors again, with what looked to be like four legal representatives in tow. Three males, dressed impeccably in suits, and a female, dressed in a pants suit and carrying a brief case. Gloria sat two of them at the opposite end of the massive table, and the other two with Eveline’s family.<br/><br/>With a brief flash of a smile, she made her way to the wall and set her hand against an invisible display panel. The panel lit blue, scanned her prints, and beeped. A moment later, a small waist-high section of the wall flipped open to reveal a keyboard and small screen. Typing in a code, Gloria activated the holo-screen, that projected the image of a man dressed in a dark green robe, similar to that of a judge. He was standing at a desk that faded off from view.<br/><br/>This man was shuffling through papers and jotting down various notes when Gloria cleared her throat to gain his attention. His presences as a member of the genetics council was mostly a formality at this point. But a needed formality. She returned his smile and short bow before speaking. “Councilor Daville, how good to see you again. We are just about ready to get started in here. Is there anything else you require?”<br/><br/>The man in the hologram shook his head. “No, thank you, ma’am. We have all the necessary paperwork already.”<br/><br/>With a polite grin and nod to the hologram, Gloria made her way towards the exit one last time. “I’ll inform Mr. MacGregor that we are all set. Please let me know if there is anything else you require,” she said, addressing those in the room at large before turning on her heel and moving through the double doors once more.<br/>
