Arriving on level 7, Althea Scabior was pleased to see that she'd arrived right before the meeting was due to begin. Excellent. That meant she could get what she needed to say out of the way and leave them to it. This level was perhaps slightly less of a priority in Althea's mind, given the sporting focus, but as the Minister she still wanted to be sure that its employees felt valued and knew that she would be making herself available to them.

As she entered and took up a position near the front of the room, Althea nodded politely at the department head, who was expecting her, and gave her a smile, then surveyed the room as the employees arrived.
