Doctor Li looked upon the few that volunteered and after a few minutes decided that none more will step forward.  She cleared here throat in a manner to attract attention before speaking once more.<em>“Very well, will the six of you please follow me into the city where we you can spend the next two hours resting and seeing to your needs while we prepare for your briefing.”</em>She glanced over ad Doc Hoff and could easily see the signs of a person well versed in medicine.  Li pointed to him as she continued.<em>”Doctor, right?  Please come with me as well.”</em>There was an audible murmur of objection through the rest of the crowd, which she had expected.  She had intended on allowing only those who stepped forward within the city and felt it would be best to wait until she had her volunteers before mentioning that portion for obvious reasons.<br/><br/><em>”But that’s not fair!  If they can go in, then we all should be able to!”</em><br/><br/>The Doctor glared daggers at the man who uttered that objection.<em>”Not fair?  NOT FAIR?”</em>With three powerful strides the distance between them was closed and she had an iron grip on the collar of his weathered shirt.<em>”These people are risking their very lives for the sake of our city and its citizens.  It would be ‘not fair’ to not provide them with time to rest and prepare themselves for their journey.  I recommend that you watch your tongue lest I see to it that you are never allowed within the walls of Rivet City, which is well within my power.”</em><br/><br/>She released the man and turned to walk along the drawbridge ushering the volunteers into the city.<em>”There are empty hotel rooms on the upper decks which are available for you free of charge should you wish to rest for a short while.  The marketplace is currently under repairs and is closed to everybody but security and maintenance personnel.  If you require food and drink simply let Vera, the hotel overseer, know what you need.  Please stay out of the lower decks of the ship, that is where we are tending to the injured and would prefer to keep it free of civilian traffic.  In two hours I expect to see you in the top floor of the tower, which can be reached by following the main stairwell up.  Thank you again for helping us, I hope you enjoy what little hospitality we can offer you in these trying times.”</em><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Kitai followed the doctor when urged to do so and joined the group into the city.  She had gotten some rest the night before and was eager for a chance to explore the city a bit or mingle with her fellow teammates.  There seemed to be a wide array of personalities and skills amongst them and she wanted to figure out the ones who would not react violently to her mischievous side.  Once in the stairwell, Doctor Li parted ways with Doc Hoff in order to get him situated with patients before preparing for the briefing leaving the rest of them to their own devices.<br/><br/>On the weathered wall of the corridor were several signs pointing the way to the various floors and key locations.  “Soooooo,”  Kitai began as she looked away from the signs and looked to the others, “what is everybody gonna do?  Food sounds good to me.”
