Le Prefecture De Police was an impressive building, but that wasn't the reason it had been chosen by the members of the civilian council; it had been chosen because none of the Councilmen (and women) had any ties to it, making it neutral ground. There was also the potential for everyone to have an office with a desk in the same general vicinity if they so chose, making communication easier.

One of the larger rooms had been cleared of most of the furniture, except for chairs and a few tables. It had been left up to each individual where they wanted to sit, and how, since they were all currently equals.

The Council had a lot to discuss. They had yet to choose a chairperson, and three major issues had popped up in a relatively short amount of time: Mei-Xing's clone, Schmuz and Iniss the yeerks, and whether there should be mandatory physicals and/or psychiatric evaluations for the crew.

They were also going to have a few guests presenting information, but at the moment, people were still arriving.

"Sorry I'm late."

He's not, not really, but it doesn't hurt to look busy, and it's not an act. Allen IS busy. Punctuality is for politicians.

Considering he hasn't seen Tom or Iniss since before he became GLADOS' favorite plaything, it's been a while, so he glances over at the pair as he settles into his seat.

A tiny part of Iniss relaxed, glancing at the other with something that at any other time might have been warmth and welcome. He was a little too tense to really let either emotion show, but the slight softening of his features probably indicated he was at least feeling somewhat friendly towards Allen.

He was glad to see Allen. Glad that he at least had one ally here, even if that would likely be outweighed by the fact that Elfangor himself was here.

But Dani trusted Allen, and Iniss trusted Dani. Allen had been willing to go along with the plan and knew the details. This was better.

He'd rather not be here at all, but this was better.

Sam looked up and nodded to Allen with a bit of a smile. It was still him in control. Schmuz and him and decided that he was better versed in public speaking and would be able to speak to the Council better.

Still, that small bit of a smile was strained. Too many things could go wrong here.

And Dani is rushing in. "Sorry...! I just got free of GLADOS." And didn't get any cake.

She looked around, but it didn't look like she missed the important part, so hurries on over to Tom and Allen. "They haven't decided yet, right?"

Iniss' face relaxed into a true smile, breath escaping in a sigh. "Dani. No, they haven't decided yet, I think we're only just getting started. They're still deciding one of the other matters. Thank you for coming. Did GLADOS hurt you?"

Concern, because much had happened without her here, and it worried him. "Are you well?"

"Nah. I just didn't get the cake I was promised," Dani said. She was seriously miffed about that.

"I'm fine. You feeling okay?" She asked, sitting down next to him.

"We really should do something about that computer system lying about cake." He sighed, offering her a small grimace.

"I'm fine, just tense. Things like this, ah. Hopefully it will be over soon. I'm glad you're here." He smiled, feeling a great deal better now that she was. If nothing else, if things went wrong, Dani could get them out.

Surely that was the only reason he was glad to see her?

"Yeah. It's really mean," Dani said with a frown.

Dani smiled. "We'll find a way to help you, no matter what happens."
