[23:33] <Keith_Triten> [Jack] Dad, tell the truth.

[23:34] <Reve_Hunter> [victoria] <laughs> we have to keep the viewer glued to the screen somehow cecily.

[23:35] <Reve_Hunter> [victoria] Women watch anything and everything...now men, they have a less varied selection...so, we have to convince them that vineyards in the colony are REALLY interesting

[23:35] <Cecily_Lansou> <Looks down at the floor> Oui, Victoria. I understand.

[23:35] <Ryu_Zintech> [Will]<he ties his hair back>

[23:35] <Cecily_Lansou> But the colonies are interesting...

[23:38] <Cecily_Lansou> <Lets the maitre'd escort her to the table, spying Mr. Jenkins>

[23:39] <Ryu_Zintech> [Will]<he arrives at the hotel and climbs out of the cab and towards the hotel>

[23:39] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] <stands up at the site of cecily> Cecily! Mon Dieu you look fabulous! Not that you didnt' before, but a portrait of you would be more valuable than the mona lisa itself!

[23:39] <Reve_Hunter> [ryan jenkins] <kisses her hand> Enchanté.

[23:40] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] Sit down, we're waiting for your camerman, Will Zintech. A young chap, but brilliant in his work.

[23:40] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] I'm sure you'll enjoy working with him.

[23:40] <Cecily_Lansou> <Sits down slowly> Will?

[23:40] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] So, did you enjoy shopping? How did you find Victoria?

[23:41] <Cecily_Lansou> Victoria was very nice. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the amount of clothes that go into being a journalist.

[23:41] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] Yes will, he was originally Rêve's Cameraman, but they only went on one assignement together, in the meantime he's been living it up in NY, on our expense bill of course, it's about time to put him to work. <smiles>

[23:41] <Cecily_Lansou> Ah. I see. So Will is her friend?

[23:42] <Ryu_Zintech> [Will] <he walks in and looks around for Mr. Jenkins> There he goes<he walks over towards the two trying to look sophisticated>

[23:43] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] <stands up to greet Will> Greetings Mr. Zintech, great seeing you again. Will, this is Cecily Lansou, cecily, this is Will, your new cameraman.

[23:43] <Cecily_Lansou> <Reaches forward to shake his hand> Est cela Veut? Il est très jeune!

[23:44] <Ryu_Zintech> [Will] <he nods> Nice to see you still in good health sir. Hello Ms. Lansou<he turns and shakes her hand>

[23:44] <Cecily_Lansou> Nice to meet you, Will.

[23:45] <Cecily_Lansou> I hope that we have a good working relationship.

[23:45] <Will_Zintech> As do I.

[23:45] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] <laughs> I hope that the two of you get along. WSON actually has an assignment for you already. That's why I'm anxious for you to get together.

[23:45] <Cecily_Lansou> <Turns to Ryan> An assignment?

[23:45] <Will_Zintech> <thinks...Already?>

[23:45] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] Ever hear about Retrotech?

[23:46] <Cecily_Lansou> <Shakes her head> No, I'm afraid not.

[23:46] <Will_Zintech> Yes, my brother attends there.

[23:46] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] Retrotech is perhaps Earth's premier school for Mobile Suit Sciences. They specialize in piloting and engineering.

[23:46] <Cecily_Lansou> Oh. And? We are to do a piece on them?

[23:47] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] They have been hit by some sort of Suit I believe, I know nothing about Mobile Suits myself...The School is apparently in shambles. I want you to look into it and snoop around, find out what really destroyed the school They're saying it's vandalism, but somehow I don't think so.

[23:48] <Will_Zintech> o_o

[23:48] <Cecily_Lansou> You want us to go undercover? Snoop around?

[23:48] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] Cecily, a word of advice though...try to avoid Miss. Hunter...Rêve doesn't know that we've taken on a new protege.

[23:48] <Will_Zintech> When can we leave sir? My whole family happened to be there...

[23:48] <Cecily_Lansou> I...see...<Looks a little pale>

[23:49] <Will_Zintech> *sigh* S-s-she doesn't?

[23:49] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] Not necessarily under cover...<looks to Will> I didn't know you had family there. We'd expect you to leave as soon as possible, tonight even if you can.

[23:49] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] <notices Will Pale> you do understand why we've kept it from Rêve...

[23:49] <Cecily_Lansou> I understand. Tonight is fine.

[23:49] <Will_Zintech> <nods slowly a feeling a small measure of fear build up>

[23:51] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] <opens up his briefcase and pulls out two tickets> here we go, here's two shuttle tickets for Chapel Hill. <takes out two compact mobile phones> These are for the two of you. I want to be kept notified of everything, if you're in trouble, give me a call at any time.

[23:51] <Cecily_Lansou> <Mutters> Il sonne comme si ce Reve est une vraie douleur!

[23:51] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] This may be something Huge...and because S8N does have investments in the suit industry, WSON has been advised to take special care in the story.

[23:52] <Will_Zintech> <Has no real clue what Cecily is saying...>

[23:52] <Cecily_Lansou> <Takes the phone and ticket> Thank you. We will do our best, right Will?

[23:52] <Will_Zintech> All right I'll make sure I do that.

[23:54] <Cecily_Lansou> <Nods to Ryan> Is there anything else, sir? Err...what should I do with all of those clothes?

[23:54] <Reve_Hunter> [Ryan Jenkins] <looks at his watch> Alright, I have another meeting at the station, please notify me of your arrival in NC.
