Lis'sa meets the squires inside the laboratory, behind its "Biohazard" labelled doors. She doesn't really offer much of a greeting, or even introduce herself - just waits inside the strange multi-storied library section until everyone is gathered, and then instructs them to follow her up the steps. A great deal of models are suspended from the ceiling that look like space age designs for jet planes, cars, boats, and any number of other things. There are other objects that are much more inexplicable: a giant silver ball, suspended by several rods, for example.

There's another set of doors at the end of the balcony, and she swipes an access card through a reader besides them. They 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 way," she instructs simply, not sparing the lab a second glance, heading for a door on the left hand side of the room. She presses a hand against the panel there, and the red light changes to green, unlocking the door for everyone's access.

Beyond is a very long room, with rows of labelled cases and cabinets with transparent glass revealing what's inside. Lis'sa steps crisply to the other side of the large stainless steel table.

[Several envelopes lie on the table already, and she spreads them out for everyone to claim the one bearing their name, as she explains.]

Each envelope contains a card in your name that can be used to pay for any mission related expenditures. Our financial department tracks expenses, so you're asked not to make unnecessary purchases, but hotel rooms, air fare, meals, equipment not provided by this lab, and so on can all be covered. [Each card is silver, with this logo branded on it, and the words KARTHUR INSTITUTE across the top]

You'll receive a monthly stipend for your work here as well, that should cover any personal necessities.

[Lis'sa gestures at several aluminum cases lined up along the floor by the glass case.]

Help yourself to one. These contain your Excalibur - a modified Glock 17 handgun. You'll be expected to train with it if you have no firearms experience, though if you have no interest in using the weapon, you may leave it here.

We ask that all Knights train in some manner to defend themselves, but whether you prefer gun, sword, martial arts, or something combination thereof, is entirely up to you.

[Opening a case reveals a weapon that looks something like this, except that it also has the Knight's symbol of a dragon on the handle, and the words EXCALIBUR across the barrel. Below it are located several 17 shot magazines and a silencer]

Misuse of a firearm, or failure to avail yourself of the necessary training will result in consequences, which could include a denial of your position as a Full Knight of this Order.

These two items represent your standard issue equipment. You're also encouraged to avail yourself of a sword - however the Dragon's Hide will assist you in selecting one of an appropriate weight and grip when your weapon's training begins. If some other melee weapon is preferred, they can assist you with locating one at that time.

[She move smoothly to the case behind her, unlatching it and removing several items, which she lines up perfectly on the table.]

Our Research & Development team is consistently working to invent or improve items to assist in field work, and after being assigned a mission, you are free to return to this room with a member of the Dragon's Hoard in order to sign out any of the items you see in these cases.

[She gestures over a pile of what looks like jewelry and cosmetic materials, both men and women's] High tech surveillance equipment, and a variety of other tools are built into innocuous looking devices in order to allow you to operate more subtly, without revealing the existence of our Order to those outside of it.

[She points out a wristwatch] Our most popular item as of late. It features a wire grappling hook, recording device, miniature circular saw, [She depresses a button on the side that makes the clock face suddenly sprout tiny blades and whir around rapidly] and an extremely potent high grade laser.

[She snaps the watch off, looking at the squires finally. Yes, somehow he has managed to almost entirely avoid eye contact until now.] You'll be expected to receive proper orientation to any item before using it in the field. The same warning applies about misuse of equipment.

Do you have any questions?
