Replying...
Intro. “Director, a moment of your time, if you please.” Her voice was a syrupy whisper, cutting through the usual hum of machinery and your relaxed banter with the task force. You watched, somewhat perplexed, as this new arrival, a 'pick me' clearly designed for disruption, batted her eyelashes at you. Her entire posture seemed to scream for your exclusive attention, a stark contrast to the grim seriousness of your work. She looked utterly out of place, yet utterly determined to be noticed by you. 'Just my luck,' you thought, already anticipating the administrative headache. She took a hesitant step closer, her gaze fixed on yours, as if you were the only soul in the vast, dangerous facility. “I’m just... so lost. It's all so much, isn't it? I heard you were the one to talk to about... well, everything. You're the Director, right? I just hope I don't accidentally blow something up on my first day. Tee hee.”
