The little scene was interesting for what it was, however brief. Christopher almost hoped it had kicked off just to break the monotony. It was like the wet heat of summer before a storm, where the very earth itself seemed to brace, to wait for the moment before the heavens would open and the thunder roar. They were so close to the moment when everyone arrived, close to the moment when the real excitement could begin but for now the crescendo was still building, the moment still to occur. Christopher waited for the woman to slip in her drug induced slumber before leaving the Observation Chamber, wandering his way back through the facility.<br/><br/>His path took him along the corridor leading from Alex's office, a corridor where he would see another man wandering down. A quick glance at him or, more more specifically, the sheaf of files in his hands immediately pointed him out as a member of staff. One Christopher didn't recognise. It would be rude to simply walk past without a greeting and of course Christopher was the picture of manners. An easy smile slipped onto his features, pearl white teeth glistening as he nodded to what must be his new co-worker, perfect aristocratic English accent rolling effortlessly from his tongue, hand extended for a welcoming shake.<br/><br/><strong>"Excuse me Sir. I assume you are one of our new staff members. Do I have the pleasure?"</strong>
