Clementine was glad to see that her first stop along her audit journey was going so smoothly.  it was rather amazing that Chief Kylo responded with such compliance rather than adopting a typical defensive stance.  Clementine wrote a note to herself concerning the failure of the forensics department to analyze the driller, then reached out a hand to take the disc from Kylo when she was suddenly surrounded by a bright, disorienting light.

When the light disappeared, Clementine found herself somewhere else in the mine, somewhere that didn't look like any of the few places she had already seen.  She listened with growing trepidation as the alien spoke.  One man among the people here sprang into action, inspecting the machinery and spit-firing questions and introduced himself as Tommy.  Then the unthinkable happened: the man agreed to help the alien fight against Galatec.

Clementine's eye twitched.

[color=ffff00]"HAH!"[/color] Clementine barked uncontrollably. [color=ffff00]"Haha...heh..."[/color] Clementine laughed nervously, [color=ffff00]"Th-that's not how you're supposed to answer...silly."[/color] Clementine looked almost drunk as she continued, [color=ffff00]"I-I know what this is...this is one of those corporate team-building exercises, right?"[/color] She looked around at the people nearby, visibly shaking, turning to look at the as-yet-unnamed Samara and at the alien for some confirmation.  [color=ffff00]"Y-you really threw me for a loop you know, whisking me here suddenly...you almost had me for a second...almost had me...But we know where this goes, right?  Now we all share stories of how much we've benefited from Galatec: all the great opportunities, awesome products, and what an ideal work environment it is.  We all love Galatec here, right?  ...right?"[/color]  For some reason Clementine couldn't stop talking, afraid that the silence would expose some horrible eventuality.  Something was definitely wrong here, so she clung to the comfort of the sound of her own voice.
