"Well then. Welcome to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to all you new folks, and thanks for showing up to all you old timers." He smiled at the 'oldies' in the room. "I'm Wes Ferguson in case you somehow missed that; originally from Sydney, Australia but grew up in Aberdeen, Scotland. I was a Hit Wizard for a number of years and then I became Chief Investigator of the MLES. And now I'm your Department Head." So deal with it. Heh. Introductions were done now. Moving on.

"If you have any questions about what you're supposed to do or who you report to, go to your division head first." He pointed to Cade, Ben, and Dorian. "Head Auror Jaxton Tanner is on assignment right now, but he'll be back shortly, and the same goes for Head of Security Gabriel Vartann." Or something like that. "There is no MLES Head at the moment but if you really need something answered, I'd go to Alysson Zookara, Hit Witch." Because she'd been there for a while and knew a lot of stuff, yep. "Additionally, if you have been here for a time and think you're deserving of a raise or promotion, fill out the form I posted on the noticeboard and get it to me by the end of next week."

All right. Wes nodded and glanced down at his notes in his first file. So far he'd accomplished everything on his list. Now for the real reason of the meeting.

"It's come to my attention, and the attention of your division heads," he looked specifically at the IUMO Chief, "that some of you are new and need some training, and some of you have gotten lazy during this peacetime and haven't kept up with your upskilling." Wes looked around at them all seriously. "At the conclusion of this meeting, we're going to begin a mandatory department-wide training....competition, of sorts, to prepare you all to work within any division of the DMLE and to see how well you work with others and pick up necessary skills while on the job." He smirked for some reason, probably because he was sounding like such a BOSS right now, and continued. "The five division heads and I will be leading the brief training sessions. After each head gives his or her spiel, you'll have a brief time to practice the skill and then we will apply what has been taught in an encompassing group exercise."

Wes looked around at them all expectantly and then stood up, taking his files with him. "Any questions before we move to the training area?"

He was sure his employees would all pass if they just paid attention. But Wes was also hoping they'd all had breakfast and coffee this morning too. They'd need it.

Jaxton was impatient. Seriously. He'd tried to hurry back for the start of the meeting - but he'd missed it. He heard them talking on the other side of the door and he pondered the pro's and con's of interupting Wes... or simply waiting until they came out.

After a slow five minutes of pacing in front of the door (and the voices still continuing the introductions); he huffed, crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. Trust Wes to do something for the "good" of the department when he really needed to talk to him.

Sod it. Wesley had told him to report directly to him when he got back... so that was what he'd do.

Without so much as a "sorry I'm late," the slightly scruffy Head Auror opened the door to the conference room, and simply stood inside it as it closed with a soft clang. He nodded slightly once to Wesley when the man turned to give him a glare for daring to be late. He shrugged slightly, crossed his arms once more and stood tall and proud.

Poor newbies weren't getting a very nice first impression of their Division Head. Oh well, all the better for controlling them later... If the last year's YATI intake were anything to go by... they would be hard to control and eager to everything they weren't actually trained for.

He stood and listened to the end of Wesley's description of the training day and he simply nodded as he was mentioned - ah well. He was back now. Guess he wasn't away any more - although knowing how the department worked, he could be away again in a few minutes of Wes needed something else done. Ah well.
