"There's more to the best and brightest than just what school teaches." Keilan's eyes sparkled, landing squarely on Rhee. She tapped the side of her nose, "Commander of Intelligence Operations. I didn't just mean around the Island itself. I'm not nearly as new to the job as I look, either. I know exactly who and what are waiting for us out there. Our technology is more advanced in many ways, but they have more weapons, and I assure you, there are far too many people out there for a single disease to devastate nearly eight and a half billion people before a cure is found. Our monitoring systems are excellent, we have and have had for years now, a good idea of what's waiting. 

"For the moment, they do not know we are here. All evidence of the island was buried and forgotten years ago. The operative words being 'for the moment.' Their technology is expanding. The Council has come to the agreement that it is better for us to reveal ourselves openly, [i]before[/i] they find an island of technologically advanced 'monsters' hidden in the heart of a section of sea that has a reputation for devouring ships and planes under mysterious circumstances. They don't think like we do and we have to do our best to present ourselves the right way before the wrong thing happens. Anyway, please if you would like, go around and give your formal introductions."
