For starters, Sir Hughes is late to the equipment briefing by a good fifteen minutes.  Yep.  Sorry, guys.  When he does finally show up, he's coming down the hall in ridiculously casual wear, as if maybe he just rolled out of bed.  He mumbles an apology as he pats his pockets down to try and locate his card, before finally discovering it was tucked behind his ear with an "Aha!"  He fumbles it through the reader, and the doors labelled "Biohazard"  slide open.

He guides them through the bizarre multi-storied library and up the steps, beyond the models suspended from the ceiling that look like space age designs for jet planes, cars, boats, and any number of other things.  At the end of the balcony he swipes his card through the reader with a much higher degree of ease and then ushers them all inside.

"Well c'mon, c'mon, don't got all day," he mutters, even if he was the one who ... showed up late.  The doors  depress with a space age his. revealing a clean white laboratory, with rows and rows of tables and lab equipment set up. Numerous knights buzz around in white lab coats, working under microscopes and on computers, conferring over a number of projects.

"This is one part of the lab, where the Hoard does their research and general... bomb-building or whatever," he says, waving a hand vaguely in that direction as he heads for the left hand side of the room.  He places his palm on a panel there until the red light blinks green, and then moves into the narrower space there - a long room with rows of labelled cases and cabinets with transparent glass revealing what's inside.

[She'll take that smile as permission to keep talking.] Something probably came up. This place seems busy.

[And here she is, making excuses for some guy she doesn't know.]

Um--you're Chiaki, right? Or, Sir Yoshida. [She has no idea how she should address people here.]

[chiakiyoshida]

Just Chiaki. [Obviously calling the other Knights 'Sir Whatever' has something to do with their ~seniority~ over her or something, idek.] You're Rayna, yes? Rayna Valentine.

[mellifluence]

Rayna, yeah. Nice to meet you. [Now she doesn't feel quite so alone.] Have you met your Knight yet?

[chiakiyoshida]

Sir Hughes is actually the one who, er, found me originally. [Because she happened to be hacking into the Knights' computer databases for fun, but she'd rather not mention that.] How did you come to join the Knights?

[mellifluence]

At least you won't have to worry about being on time. [She'll...try to turn that into a perk for you or something, idk.] I got lucky, I guess.

[chiakiyoshida]

[Unfortunately, Chiaki is one of those annoying people who's early whenever she has an appointment or is due to meet someone.] Got lucky? Does that mean you just sort of tripped over Wynn while you were walking the dog?

[No, she doesn't know about Boaz, it's just a generalisation.]

[mellifluence]

[Even as a generalization it makes her laugh.] Not Wynn, but I do know a really curious dog who probably had a paw in it.
