Emma listened intently to the physics professor, Kyle Harkness, her chin resting in her hand as she leant on her elbow. The recent addition to the D.I.S. in LA intrigued her with his teachings on the physical world around them. She found the class easy to understand, even though the rest of the class was having difficulty. 

An email alert flashed across her laptop screen at the same time she felt her cellphone buzz in her pocket. She glanced up at the professor as his phone beeped and took a deep breath. [i]Looks like I'll be meeting the new recruits sooner than I thought.[/i] She thought with a slightly indifferent tone. She quickly packed her things as Kyle excused the class, then headed towards the staff only bathroom in the science building. 

on the door to the bathroom hung a sign that read, "OUT OF ORDER", but Emma payed no attention to it. After checking to make sure the coast was clear, she entered the little bathroom. After locking the door behind her, Emma removed a tile from beside the toilet, revealing a fingerprint scanner. She pressed her thumb to it and sighed impatiently as it scanned her finger. This technology was better than others, but still too slow for Emma's taste. Once the scan had finished, Emma removed her thumb and stepped back as the floor below the toilet lifted and slid to the side, revealing a spiral staircase into H.Q. Emma sat on the metal railing and slid all the way down the dimly lit stairwell, laughing lightly. She hopped off at the bottom and giggled before making her way through the headquarters and into the control room. "Afternoon, sir.. Professor," she said with a smile before finding a seat.
