Summary: An advanced life form arrives.

It's another business day at the Glendale Tool Company. Kicking back in the lounge is Dr. Dirk Broadstreet, looking ever like an old, retired Snake Plissken as he does. He adjusts his eyepatch and sets down his "How about a cup of shut the FORTEAN up?" mug as his charges arrive.

Twirling a metal fidget spinner, Enyo is wearing a black and white polkadot dress with red pump heels. Blue hair styled in classic victory rolls, she was 1950's retro and rockabilly brought to life. "Morning...", she states to Dirk, while pouring a pot of coffee with one hand. The spinner still zooming in her left hand.

Kenji heads into the lounge dressed in a simple black, cotton long sleeved shirt with dark jeans and sneakers on. There is a pack worn with one strap slung over his left shoulders and in his right hand he holds a steaming cup of green tea. There is a nod of greeting to Dr. Dirk and a wave to Enyo as he settles into a seat. The pack is dropped lightly to his feet while his cup settles on the table before him.

Haruka was already there. Working on ideas for a robot in the workshop. She comes out from the workshop, wipes her forehead, and gets a coke. "Hi everyone!"

Broadstreet gets up, and nods to Kenji. "Welcome. Team, this is Kenji Tanaka, Cybernaut. He is an advanced life form with innate talents for invention and martial arts. He is very good at what he does, and I am sure he will be a fine addition to our team."

"Kenji, this is Haruka Watanabe, our Society of Ether power armor specialist, and Enyo Carver, of the Order of Hermes House Xaos. She's studying advanced technology and blending it with bio-organic enhancements."

"Morning.", Enyo states while heading over to the freezer part of the refrigerator to drop some ice cubes off in her drink. *Splunk splunk* Cooling the coffee off as she looked back to Dirk, Haruka and Kenji. Blowing her drink off before taking a sip.

Standing at the introduction, Kenji gives a polite bow to the group before sitting and then looking to each person in turn as they are introduced. A smile follows as he lifts his green tea to sip from the steaming liquid. Lowering the cup he says softly to Enyo and Haruka, "I'm sure we'll have plenty of chances to get together to work on projects together. Hopefully, with the talk of blending bio-organic enhancements, potentially there could be some upgrades we can find for me in the future."

Haruka takes a seat, and waves to Kenji, and to Enyo. "Awesome, welcome Kenji." she says lifting her bottle to wave. "Wait. Advanced. Does that mean you're a... um..." she says, staring at him a bit.

Dirk takes a seat, folding his arms and chuckling. "Kenji, you can answer that one for yourself."

"Yes," is Kenji's simple answer to Haruka. There is a smile and a wink that follows that leaves it all still some what ambiguous for the time being. Not wishing to take the focus of the conversation away from the group he says to them all. "We have plenty of time to explore what that really means later. I'd hate to be the only topic of discussion here when we could be talking of a number of other things like our potential shared projects and scientific endeavors, perhaps how or what we need to do to protect ourselves and of course to strike out against our enemies should it be something we wish to do... Who our allies are here, and what that means for us."

Haruka goes wide-eyed, gawking and nodding softly at Kenji's answer. "Cooooooooool," she says softly. "But um, all I know is, we're a team since like, if something needs shot at, we're all good at that, pretty much. Including Jason Magnum, who's not here today."

Dirk sips from his mug. "You are all... well I don't say a commando unit. But a unit of last resort. If it comes to war, we will be on the front lines. But Vargo help us if it comes to that. The Union still outmans us and out guns us."

"But they can't outsmart us ... ", Enyo retorts with a shrug. "... they might of hijacked consensus but reality still finds them vulgar as hell.", sipping from her coffee cup with Minnie-mouse on it. "They kind of screwed themselves over too."

Kenji nods his head and then says to the group, "Well if push comes to shove, I'm good with infiltration, spying, martial arts and the like. Not so much of the big robot battle suit." Smiling to Haruka at the topic of robot suits he looks to Enyo, "Or potentially doing much yet in terms of my own bio-organic upgrades, additions and the like. But I think as a group we're pretty good for most anything." Smiling to the Doctor he then stops talking to sip his tea and return to listening.

Haruka snickers. "Well, like. The Alanson Power-Armor Hardsuit is all purpose. I am attaching weapons and things to it. Just in case. But like... it's not a Gundam or anything like THAT. I look forward to working together on whatever projects we have. I was working on some designs for a helper robot today."

Dirk gets up. "Alright, welcome aboard. I suggest meeting Jason Magnum when you can. Good luck, back at it." And then he heads out the door with his mug in tow.
