Excalibur, Saryn and Banshee entered the room in unison, stepping through the large doorway as one. Two heads in the room turned towards them. Lotus, who was at the front of the room, behind a small desk which had stacks of blue prints and digi tablets, amongst other things, on it. Behind her desk was a large wall to wall monitor screen that was currently off. In front of the desk, facing the screen was Rhino. He had his feet up on Lotus's desk and was leaning back in his chair, clearly making himself at home. There were three empty chairs next to him, one on his left, two on his right. Lotus looked up from her documents and beckoned the three to take a seat. Banshee sat to the left of Rhino. Saryn went to sit on the right of Rhino, but his beefy legs were in her path. She turned her head and stared at Rhino, although they couldn't see, he had a huge grin plastered on his face. Saryn, obviously not impressed, softly placed her hand on the underside of Rhinos legs, kept it there for a few seconds, and then quickly threw them over Rhinos head, flipping him out of his chair and onto the floor. He landed face down on the carpeted floor, causing the room to shudder quite violently. His chair quietly fell over onto his back. Banshee remained quiet, Lotus just stared, Excalibur chuckled and Saryn shook her head. Lotus remained standing, leaning on the table, hands planted firmly on the desk, unimpressed and losing patience. "Please, sit down" she said, noticeably trying to remain calm. Excalibur and Saryn sat down and Rhino got off the floor, dusted himself off, put the chair back and sat down, feet on the floor this time. Saryn glanced his way, a smile on her face, then turned back to face Lotus.
"You may have noticed Banshee, has been away from your squad for a while." Lotus waited for acknowledgment. The three nodded. "well she was away with Loki and Ash working in a recon unit."
"Recon unit?" Saryn asked.
"Yes, it's a new development, we have come up with. This particular recon unit was sent to out all over the system, to find traces of the Orokin race."
"Yeah so? We do that too." Rhino stated.
"Yes but do you do it completely unnoticed?" Lotus retorted. At this statement three pairs of eyebrows shot up.
"Unnoticed?" Saryn asked in disbelief.
"This is big isn't it?" Excalibur asked
"Indeed it is Excalibur" Lotus replied. She paused, stepping away from her desk before saying, "we found an Orokin base"
