Alice glanced over toward her employees as she finished reading the note, tucking it in her pocket, noticing they still weren't exactly getting a move on. Isabelle was the only one finished and the others didn't appear to have opened their containers yet.
She turned from her desk, standing up, and clearing her throat a little to get everyone's attention so she could speak.
"We're going to make a trip to the Death Chamber.... to collect...something. It's rather important. If you're not finished quite yet you can just come now, and leave your containers as they are, or come a bit later when you've finished. And if you have any questions of something goes wrong feel free to send me a note. We'll be right next door." she explained to the members of the Brain Room, taking a deep breath as she finished. Wow, she was doing much more talking than she normally did lately...

Alice started toward the door, but she stopped in her tracks, rocking back and forth a little, as she noted the woman seated at one of the desks. Either she was a new Brain Room employee, or she was a seriously confused Ministry worker who had somehow found a way into the Department of Mysteries, but either way the gas from Alice's & Isabelle's brain containers must have already died down because it seemed the atmosphere was having no effect on the other lady. Which was most definitely a good thing. She didn't want any employees harming themselves on her watch. Alice reached up with her wand and popped the bubble that had situated itself around her head so the bubble-head charm was no longer in effect on her. She indicated to the others it was okay to do likewise.
"Um, excuse me, Miss, are you a new addition to the Brain Room?" she asked warmly, as she reached the desk the woman was seated at.
"I'm Alice, Alice Sumner, the Division Head for the Brain Room. Pleasure to meet you" she introduced herself politely, offering Elena a hand to shake.
"We're about to go off to the Death Chamber. And you should come as well." she instructed her calmly, with an welcoming smile planted on her face. She wished they weren't so busy today and she could give her a bit more of a welcome...But the Elena would get the chance to meet new people from two divisions. That had to be a good thing, right?
Right.
As she finished speaking to her she looked back to the group as a whole once more, taking a few steps toward the door she'd been heading for to begin with.
"And now, everyone, we'll be off." she said simply, giving the others an enthusiastic grin, before rotating gracefully around on her heel to face the door to the Death Chamber. She knocked three times, rapping her knuckles against the door professionally, and waited patiently for Marina or one of her employees to answer.
