Characters: Anyone and everyone
Setting: Cafeteria, Noon, Nov 7th
Format: Anything
Summary: A party/discussion mingle after calling a meeting of the residents.
Warnings: tba

The anonymous post on the network was an invitation to gather, discuss and share information. Maybe they would get incredibly lucky and get to the bottom of things, such as who was behind the bombings or the strange things that went on during Quarantine.

Someone has been at work down here in the dining hall, moving the tables around to create a space in the middle in case people felt like dancing. Most of the chairs are around the outside and facing the middle, for everyone to see each other better. There was another space and some chairs for musicians, and a couple of the larger tables were set up with a large buffet of normal cafeteria food (because Zo wasn't likely to poison them) and resident prepared dishes, both clearly marked.

Of course, there was always the oatmeal.

Shion was surrounded by papers mostly these were on the collar research which he still felt like he had made no headway on. It had been frustrating from the beginning but now that he was in charge of the blue team it was even more so. Only the fact that no one else had discovered anything either stopped him from being furious at himself, and the fact he had promised Diarmuid and Reno he would work on not blaming himself for everything.

It was hard when this had the potential to fix so many things and yet he had gotten nowhere. He was hoping to talk to the other groups and see if any of their results were similar. It just took a lot of building up confidence to do that.

"Are you doing okay?"

As one of the bodyguards assigned to the blue team, Minato did spend some time with his teammates. Most importantly, that included the scientist he was to protect. Shion was a good and smart person, but he's worried the other boy might get too stressed out.

Shion blinked at him, he had been throwing himself into work since the last event and his death in it. His death that he was trying not to think about.

"I'm okay, I just... sometimes it feels like we are so close. But we haven't got anywhere."

"Maybe you need a new perspective or information?"

Like viewing the problem or the research from another point of view. However, Minato was still a little worried for Shion.

"The others might provide you with another opinion if you ask."

"I could..." He looked worried about that, "I don't want to bother them though." And they were all proper scientists, unlike him who was only doing this because their scientist had vanished.

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you ask." This research was very important. If they find out their team was stuck, it'd be more helpful to give some aid.

"Hopefully not." He nodded, the idea was nerve wracking but he knew he would have to admit he needed help. "I could ask Waver."

"You could. Is he here right now?" Minato glanced around. There were some prior notice before the gathering, but maybe people were absent for a reason.

"I'm not sure." He looked around, "I think he will be, I saw Diarmuid before..."

"Then he wouldn't be that far away." If one person was here, the other would be around.

"I will find him then. And see if he knows anything." He smiled, "Thanks Minato." It was easy to get overwhelmed with everything.

"You're welcomed." He gave a small smile. "Just remember we're here to support you."

"Thank you." He smiled, "I'll try to remember."
