Brail started with his energy drink. He leaned back in his chair and put his feet on the table. He drank 1/4 of his energy drink and then put it down. He sighed again and closed his eyes. He too needed some extra sleep. Gotta stop watching TV before i go to bed. He thought to himself. He grinned.

Lorna nodded slightly with a warm smile as Mandy spoke, eyebrows raised as she watched several other agents file themselves in, all looking rather worse for the wear. But, that's what being a member of the G.I.B. was. Protecting the world at any cost.
It sounded almost like a movie.
And if Lorna hadn't known any better, she'd swear it was. She'd lived each day in the G.I.B. not knowing if she'd live or die, if the aliens were hostile or friendly, or even if her fellow agents had been infected with the recent formula that could turn any human into one of them. Just one more thing to attack through heavy investigation.
"So," she half-sighed, gesturing toward MD, "what do you make of the new case? Anything?" Giving into the temptation of another cup of coffee, she found a mug and poured it, letting the warmth of the liquid seep trough the ceramic to heat her flesh. She smiled.
Even in such a sterile, harsh business, it wasn't hard to find the little joys.

"I don't really care, as long as no one gets severely injured. I don't need anymore work on my hands," she said nonchalantly.
She continued to sip her coffee, thinking about the case and everything that would probably come out of it.
"I do find it odd though, that those stars are disappearing so quickly. I've never seen anything like it. Who would want to take the stars?" She ended her question with a sigh, knowing that it could only be aliens that would do this. She really wished that they would stop causing so much trouble. She was never going to get another day off in her life if she kept living like this.

Having stared out the window long enough, G yawned and shouted,
"TODAY, NO COFFEE - TOMORROW, NO RED BINO! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!"
She didn't drink much coffee, herself - but she was well aware that nearly everyone was dependant on caffiene.

SK44 looked over at G like she was crazy. Then decided that it would be better to get a lemonade to wake himself up. "Be right back," he said to everyone. Then he walked out of the room.

Agent MD "I don't really care, as long as no one gets severely injured. I don't need anymore work on my hands," she said nonchalantly.
She continued to sip her coffee, thinking about the case and everything that would probably come out of it.
"I do find it odd though, that those stars are disappearing so quickly. I've never seen anything like it. Who would want to take the stars?" She ended her question with a sigh, knowing that it could only be aliens that would do this. She really wished that they would stop causing so much trouble. She was never going to get another day off in her life if she kept living like this. Strange sighed and looked up from her laptop, on which all her attention had been focused until then. "With each destroyed star that's another group of planets blinked out, and with them possibly rich cultures that we'll never know anything about. But how can we be so sure this isn't a sad, but natural phenominon?" She sighed and took another sip from her coffee, which was at this point lukewarm. She made a face at the taste, but continued drinking.

"Like a black hole, maybe?" Zero took a seat next to Strange and took a sip of his drink. He needed something to get his brain going. "I mean, it's not entirely unlikely, but almost nothing natural could do that in such a length of time." He took a bite out of the octopus and sucked the tentacles into his mouth like spaghetti. "Who knows what it could've been. A war hungry conqeror, a science experiment gone horribly wrong, or maybe just some stroke of luck," He spoke with the food still in his mouth, "Who knows?"
It wasn't like he didn't care or anything; he did care actually, but not as much as one would think. He considered the acts of life random with multiple possiblities at every turn. A "just in case" person always helps when something unexpected happens and he was on the mission just for that.

SK44 comes back in with a bottle of lemonade. He goes back to his usual seat in the corner. He then intensely watches and listens to everyone present.

"Mmm... interesting..." Lorna gave as a reply, polishing off her fourth cup, before jumping violently when something in her pants pocket began to jingle like mad. Nearly choking on the liquid from the start, she sighed in frustration as she pulled a small device that was similar to a pager and pressed a few random buttons. Skipping over the reading on the small screen, bright blue eyes went wide. Standing up even as she began speaking her thoughts aloud, Lorna's mind was already firing, searching for answers. "I've got something. Moving past our solar system, fast." With that, she had booked it upstairs to the alien tracking room, not bothering with formalities toward her other agents. Normally she would have, but this was vital. If she got there in time, perhaps she could identify the object... and perhaps give them a clue to the mysterious dying stars.
Stepping over all the equipment and papers askew in the alien tracking room, she whipped her hair from her determined face as she hooked the beeping device into the high-tech telescope, keying in some coordinates. The large machine then slowly began to move, a computer nearby beginning a log of the activity.
Peeping through the scope, she adjusted this and that, trying to get a clear image. "Come on..."

He woke up and almost fell off his chair when he heard the news for Lorna. It wasn't part of his job but he's always interested in these kind of things. He wondered alot. Unless it was UFO's or any types of gasses it wasn't his job. But who knows, they might find some gas substance. He looked around the room. He took the last sip of his energy drink and started with his cheap coffee.

V took a sip of the rhaktashino, an alien version of coffee, and quickly poured it out. As close as it was to java, V could never get past the taste that resembled blood, but then again, he wasn't entirely sure how the drink was brewed to begin with. V made his way past into the private lab just as one of sensors he designed blinked on silently.
"Proximity? That thing only goes on when we have something coming in at warp."
After a few minutes of searching through stacks of research data having to do with various alien computers and wiring them together, he finally came across his phone and dialed the number for Lorna.
"Lorna, I assume you got the signal on your pager, or am I missing my guess?"

Among all the computers and tracking equipment and telescopes and pagers, Lorna could hardly find her cell phone when it began to ring relentlessly. Groaning as she fumbled for the device, she'd managed to shove piles upon piles of papers from her path as she searched for the begotten thing. Finally wrapping her fingers around it, she flipped it open, pressing her ear against the plastic only to hear agent V on the other line. Absorbing his words, she responded quickly, with an edge of urgency in her alto tones, "V, whatever this thing is I can't get a lock on it. It's moving too fast. Any idea what we might have on our hands here?" Pressing the phone between her ear and shoulder, she continued to move with the telescope as it attempted to track the unidentified flying object, but with no avail. It was a blur. Though her heart was beating nearly out of her chest, nothing could beat the excitement of something of this caliber.

G quickly followed the crowd of people that left in a hurry.
"FINALLY! Something going on!"
She tagged along - at least this would be something exciting.

Mandy followed the others to see what was going on. After all, she hadn't been summoned back to the medical department yet. She hadn't been inside the alien tracking room much, but she always found it interesting everytime she stepped in there. So many screens and lights, she always wondered how those who worked in there could to it.
"This isn't good. Nothing should be moving that fast this close to Earth. Whatever it is has either lost control or is aiming to kill themselves and others."

Zero had jst begun on the normal part of his breakfast when the alarm rang. Awww... He finished off his drink and ran throught the crowd to see what was the matter. He loved going into the tracking room since he always tried to figure out what all of the symbols and numbers and such mean.
The screen displayed something moving towards Earth at a frightneing speed with little information on it so far. "Where the hell did that thing come from!?"
