Continuing to sip at his cooling tea, Victor sat quietly, watching to see who would speak up next, hoping to learn something about his prospective new coworkers before introducing himself.
After a long, and honestly rather awkward, silence, he set down his tea, breaking said silence as he cleared his throat to speak, saying, "Well, if no one else is willing to make the first introduction, I suppose that I may as well." After a brief pause with his voice calmly resounding across the chamber, he continued: "I'm Victor Cannae, of Erde. I am here because my old teacher sent me. He seemed to be under the impression that I would benefit from the experience, and may actually help to accomplish something important while I'm at it. How about the rest of you?"
