[h2]Gloria - Specter[/h2]
Gloria didn't want to be here, it was that simple. It was however a step up from prison which was her other option. Besides, here she had limited access to a lot of equipment and information that really shouldn't be placed in the hands of a thief. Especially one whose very nature made containing her almost impossible.

Her posture made it pretty clear to everyone that Gloria was totally unconcerned with anything that was going on in this room. She had her feet kicked back and propped up on the shiny conference table they were gathered around, her shoes scuffing the waxed surface.

If her situation was not one in which her demise was a very real possibility Gloria would have found the actions of the Director who entered the room a moment later laughable. He started with 'at ease', like she owed him enough respect to glance in his direction when he entered let alone salute, please.

The next thing the Director did was start there 'briefing', which was a ludicrous term for it because he left out all of the important information. He might as well have said 'meta-humans on the loose go get 'em' for all the help he was. They weren't told, the metas powers, there numbers, if they were organized or what this massively important weapon they stole did.

This hole thing was mediocre at best, a thief wouldn't go into a house unless they knew the layout, security and timetable for the residence. Why should the military be any different. This complete lack of intelligence was going to get them all killed.

Of course what did that matter to the Director, judging by the group in this room they'd been more or less thrown together, yanked out of whatever life they might have had before. To this project they were completely expendable. After all if the entire strike team died, then MetaOps had gathered some valuable data and they could pull another group of mutants off the street and try all over again.

Gloria sat quiet, she had no desire to get to know any of these people. After all it wasn't like any of them would willing stick by her. There was no point in getting to know someone when inevitably one would betray the other. Gloria did however observe her teammates. It was important she gauge strengths and weaknesses because there was a high possibility that she could end up fighting against them just as much as she could beside.
