[i]Oh my god, what a fucking mess.[/i]

To put it simply, Sam was overwhelmed. There was a lot going on, a lot of introductions, and a lot of different emotions were being cast by the various personalities in the room. And on top of all of that, there was [i]still[/i] a mission at hand, and all of these people were just expected to work together. Up to now, Sam had worked in small strike teams and had gained a rapport with a few of her teammates on those missions, but this? This was more or less the Director trying to fit together a dozen or so puzzle pieces that would never fit together, not in a million years. Hopefully Ray knew what he was doing; it would take a lot of work to make this group a working unit.

Sam didn't even know where to begin with introductions. There were so many new people and so many questions she wanted to ask them, primarily regarding their powers, but there were more specific questions in more particular cases. She began to make a list in her head, to be filed away and saved for a more opportune moment.

[list]
[*]How long [i]exactly[/i] has Ray been an operative, and why did he assume that everyone was as uptight and hardassed as he was?
[*]Why did Alex think his lame-ass wink was a good idea? Did he know that he was just gonna end up getting punched in the face with behavior like his?
[*]What exactly did Revel need to redeem himself for?
[*]Why was Izzy [i]even here?[/i] The poor girl seemed scared shitless. Then again, as much as Sam appreciated MetaOps, they were really good at being huge assholes at the most inopportune moments.
[*][i]Where the fuck could Sam get something to eat?[/i]
[/list]

With her list carefully thought out and filed away, Sam quietly raised a hand up, but didn't bother moving from her place leaned up against the wall in the back of the room. "Hi. Samantha. They called me a witch in Korea, so you can call me that in the field, if you want," Sam rattled off fairly monotonously. She gave a slight grin to everyone in the room, then did her best to become as invisible as possible. She did [i]not[/i] want to attract any attention to herself.
