The two strangers both seemed to listen in at the psions' conversation now, the man with the newspaper slowly lowered it, revealing a pleasant, if somewhat serious, face with a full, dark beard. He looked to be somewhere from the middle east.<br/>Right about then, the door to Director Archer's office flew open, and a man stepped out of it. He was rather tall and quite broadshouldered. If the mysterious blonde could have been an actor in Casablanca, this man could have been her co-star, he had the look of a Hollywood actor from the 1930s or 40s, the ones that made women all over the world weak in their knees. He had raven black hair, except at his temples where the hair had turned grey, and a neat mustasch that reminded of Clark Gable's. You would be hard pressed to guess his age, because even though his hair had started turning grey you could hardly spot any wrinkles in his face. He seemed vital, somehow even larger than life.<br/>After him followed a man you all recognize from the news, Conrad Archer of the Aeon Trinity, looking quite furious. You all wondered what could  have made him this mad, his nickname was after all "the Great Stone Face" because of his ability to remain calm in any situation. This must really be something out of the ordinary.<br/>"There is now way, I won't allow it!" he yelled at the back of the mysterious man, the voice of the 75 year old filled with both anger and...desperation?<br/>"My dear boy," the man replied with an English accent, looking over his shoulder at Conrad while still walking towards the exit, "what ever gave you the impression I was asking your permission? I am here today merely as courtesy, telling you Aeon chaps how it's going to be." He had something of a sparkle in his eyes, and a faint smile on his lips, apperantly the old man's anger and frustration amused him.<br/>"You can't do this!" Conrad continued. "You know how delicate the situation is!"<br/>"Yes, I know," the man said, now with a serious look on his face as he finally turned around and faced the old man. "And let's not forget, your track record isn't exactly stellar, is it?" His eyes locked onto Conrad, who almost seemed to shrink under his gaze. It only lasted for a couple of seconds, and then the smile returned to his face as he turned around again and started walking towards the elevator, followed by the mysterious blonde on one side, and the man with the paper on the other. "Be seeing you, Conrad!" he shouted cheerfully without looking back. The man with the paper looked everyone in the room over one last time before he also turned and walked to the elevator. All of you couldn't help but notice that despite the serious look on his face, he has really nice eyes. Everyone except Maude, that is, who only see bottomless pits of Death staring back at her...
