We're clearly all 'specialists' of one sort or another. There was no need for the subterfuge to get us here." Selene Kane-Waite said as she tapped a delicately gloved hand across the polished table of the 'meeting room'. She shifted in her black dress and matching coat, and only long experience in the right circles allowed the Director to spot the woman's gun.<br/><br/>Selene took in the frown with a smile that was as easily a smirk as she looked around and rolled her eyes. She knew what the file on her said. At least the general elements as she looked over the assembled folk at the table. Odds were she was already known to more than a few as 'that woman.' Selene Kane-Waite, the heiress to the Kane family fortune and estates, both here and in England. A family whose roots went far back before the country was founded. A scholar of sorts, an adventuress, and in the right circles a well known occultist. Possibly the rumor mill had added other names and titles to her name: 'Independent', 'Strong willed', 'Blunt', even possibly the tasteless 'suffragette' title as well. She shrugged as she looked around the table.<br/><br/>"Selene Kane-Waite, of the New York Kanes, my family has a history of handling certain 'discrete' issues for the government and men of power. We have long been warriors against the despicable forces of darkness and the minions of the devil." She tapped a wooden cane on the table, a dark wooden stave topped with the head of a growling cat and ornate symbols down it's length as she returned to her seat. She murmured a word and in her place sat the first lady just long enough to be seen by all, then she was back as herself. "As a result I, .. liked my ancestors all the way back to Solomon Kane, have stepped in to.. smooth things out from time to time. As the latest member of the family to do such favors... I've been asked here." She frowns again at the director, clearly unhappy at the 'foolish' subterfuge they had to play at. "I am surprised that you are the one in charge of us. I didn't think someone so ..publicly prominent as you would wish to be associate with a diverse of collection of 'talent'"<br/><br/>Clearly the woman knew him in passing at least and had expected something different from what is occurring. She put the cane at her side and settled back in the chair, nodding towards the others to step out and speak. The sooner the introductions were done, the sooner they would be quit of Bielaski and his subterfuge.
