Big ole' info dump. 

(Is anyone even a little surprised that Vei was a villain all along? :lol)

I left it vague as to who is in the Situation Room right now, so that each of you can decide whether you want your character to be there or not. So like, [@Raylah], you could have Elm still studying the plant sample she took instead. Or [@Starlance], you could have Astrid stay to study the alien ship, or so on. It's up to y'all.
