Being in the large conference room tended to intimidate Carson. For one thing, he never knew where to sit. He was too young to sit with the department and division heads, but as Aurora's assistant he also thought he ought to sit somewhere close to her in case she needed him to run an errand. "Hello," the 20-year-old greeted everyone politely as he stepped into the room. After a quick glance around, he decided upon a seat halfway down the table, and prepared himself for the meeting. Which basically just meant that he laid out his writing supplies to take notes ... what was this conference about, again?
"Hello, hi ... good afternoon. Yes, I believe so, Aurora," Isabel returned each of her coworkers' greetings, and nodded in response to the Creatures department head's question. Her own organisational skills were not the best, but her Remembrall was clear the last time she checked, so she hoped that everything was indeed set for this meeting. She gave a warm smile to Patrick, the newly promoted environmental ranger, when she noticed that he looked rather nervous. Really, there was nothing to worry about. She might as well get the meeting started and take the burden off these busy people's shoulders.
"Thank you for coming, everyone. I don't think this meeting will take very long, so please bear with us for a short while. The first item on the agenda is about the gravity-resistant tree that caused serious damage to our level last year. It was not immediately clear why the tree grew so unnaturally fast, so our research team worked hard to investigate the cause. There were several possible explanations, and we are pleased to announce that we arrived at a reliable conclusion this morning." Drumroll, please? "The fundamental reason was that the temperature in our greenhouses was ... too ideal for the tree's growth. When it hit a critical stage in its development, the tree's gravity-resisting ability became extremely amplified. We didn't see that coming, because the species rarely grows to reach the critical stage here in the UK."
"So that was my little announcement. I thought all employees on Level Four had the right to know what happened, hence this meeting. Aurora and I were also hoping to take this opportunity to discuss some issues related to this incident." Izzy looked at her colleague, wondering if she wanted to begin the discussion.
OOC: Sorry I forgot to mention this, but this RP takes place in IC March, so it would not be the first day back at work. :)
If you have not posted yet but wish to do so, please jump in at any time! Unlike in lessons, your characters CAN be late, or you can pretend that they were there the whole time.
