"Well.. yeah. That's how it works, you win some you lose some." The man gave an awkward laugh for a moment, clearly feeling she wasn't overly pleased by this, but he too was just following his orders. He looked at the crew hew was with, most of them, people he hadn't worked with before, but such was the nature of their job, sometimes you get assigned people you've never met and you had to make it work." It's simple really, we are just taking readings and recordings. All the machinery we've brought is various sensory equipment. The top brass is very eager to see the degree of progress you've made due to the latest discovery and the fact that while the machine burned out last test, it still came to life for a brief moment prior to it. Your own sensor data suggest it had began to wrap space on itself to some degree before it suffered failure to the main systems, so we are all hoping that the new test after the new modules, safeties and modifications are in place, might bring about a even better result." He explained with a fake business smile on his face. "You won't even realize we are here, we will just be out of your way, observing from safe distance and taking readings around the facility as usual, just with more people." He added as the inspection crew began unloading some of the big boxes, taking out said reading equipment which seemed pretty spot on, some of it was more stationary, turning out to be a sensor with it's own computer setup which htey put at the corner of the testing chambers, the furthest away possible from the machien, one of hte inspectors took palce there, and began scanning and looking over the readings. Others scattered around carrying smaller boxes and sensors, asking questions from the staff and the like. Some took a few of the interns to be brought to inspect the power systems, which meant htey would clash with Lisa since she was going to be working there for a bit." Now why don't I run you through the quick details of what we are sent to do as we usually do? I mean the two of us have done this god knows how many times already." He tried to be upbeat and polite. Something was telling him that she was in a bad mood though, you didn't know a person for about a decade without learning something about them and at least learning how to read them a bit. Meanwhile in the power systems hall, where Lisa and her engineering stooges were working, it to was a hive of activity. Lisa had to build a completely unique one of a kind generator for the machine. It was a prototype and require it's own hall, just for safety sake. There were enough switches and safeties between the power generator and the time machine that no matter what happns to the Time Machine, the generator would be fine. It took years to get the Power Generator to work properly. If the time machine theory was mainly Rhiannnon's brainchild, then this Power Generator was Lisa's. Without either, the project never would have gotten this close to completion. IN fact this power generator was what was allowing the machien to draw enough energy to bend reality. Lisa build a second one, albeit smaller to run the containment field(Electromagentic field). Suddenly the buzz stopped as a couple of unknowns entered the hall dressed as inspectors, but Lisa recognized NONE of em. They were carrying boxes and what not, taking readings, but she wasn't buying it. Paranoid was not her middle name, but it might be in the near future. In any case, it was a well known fact that without Lisa's direct approval NOBODY enters the Power Systems hall. She was rabid about it and inspectors knew to at least wait for permission. It was both for security and safety for everybody involved. This is why she hated newbies. She growled at them and chased them out to the entryway with a spanner, before pressing the communication unit in her ear and calling Rhiannon, whom she knew should be with the inspection team leader."[color=f7941d] Hey, Rhia, can you tell your inspector menace to call off his bastard goons before I send them to a hospital? We had a deal, nobody enters Power Systems without approval. If the generators goes out of control, mgiht as well say goodbye to most of the Research Complex. Also why are there people here? Doesn't the team usually stay over with the Machine?"[/color] Lisa, wasn't aware there were over twice the usual amount of inspectors.
