G bowed in reply.
"If you would follow me..."
G began walking into the main building - toward the Meeting Rooms.

The multijointed limbs rolled in a smooth gait as Uhr had to duck under the doorway following Gambol. He had turned off his translator as he was joined by someone from the crew wearing an odd costume which probably symbolized something.
"Zhuerethfrecgkal Shiraligatk?"
The other shook its head, keeping silent as they both followed Gambol into a low ceilinged round room with only a few chairs and a window looking out into the hall.
"Forgive once again taking shortly our landing. No choice were given when fuel began waning."

Lorna had merely stood aside as the rest of them got the visitors situated, still not exactly up for intelligent response quite yet. Thanking Uhr politely, she smiled and nodded to Gambol to take them to the meeting room. Collecting some wandering agents, she bowed deeply to the other passengers, gesturing toward the boxes. “Would you care for assistance with those?” Turning back toward Gambol, she waved and mouthed to her, ‘I’ll catch up.’

G had caught Lorna's message before she had gotten out of her sight - and was smiling to herself about it as she sat down.
"It is okay. I am sure that some sort of arrangement can be made concerning fuel and getting you back on your course," said G.
She looked around, realizing that none of her superiors were around.
"Shoot, where are they?" muttered G.

The two visitors exchanged glances and Uhr leaned forward to inspect G.
"A problem there is?"

G scratched her head.
"Well, friends. I apologize, but my superiors appear to be tardy as well. It has been a little busy around these parts. I would be glad to talk to you, but unfortunately, I am a relatively new recruit here - and I thus not trained enough to acccomodate all your needs," G said.
She sighed, and smiled. "Am I doing a good job this far?"

I would be glad to talk to you, but unfortunately, I am a relatively new recruit here - and I thus not trained enough to acccomodate all your needs," G said. She sighed, and smiled. "Am I doing a good job this far?" Uhr's companion who still had not spoke tilted its head while Uhr chimed in. "You are not all equal among everyone? Strange culture." Uhr started and bowed his apology at the species slur. "Apologies. Yes, you do well though not much experience humans have we."

Vincente Uhr's companion who still had not spoke tilted its head while Uhr chimed in. "You are not all equal among everyone? Strange culture." Uhr started and bowed his apology at the species slur. "Apologies. Yes, you do well though not much experience humans have we." G laughed. "I take no offense. We try to be equal here at GIB, but some agents have more training in certain areas than others. I cannot say the same thing for the rest of us humans. But I suppose that is another thing altogether, unless...?"

MD came down the hall at a fast pace, knowing she was late. She despised it when people wouldn't pick up their phones, especially other high-ranking members. They knew that they had to have a meeting, yet they always forget.
She reached the group and bowed.
"I apologize for being late."

"Ah! Hello!" G exclaimed.
She turned to Uhr, and said,
"Friend, this is Agent MD. MD, this is Uhr."

"Hello, it is very nice to meet all of you. We know you have travelled a long way, so shall we head in and make ourselves comfortable?"
As she said this, she motioned towards the door. It's a good thing that the ceilings in these rooms were tall for "out of town" visitors. The GIB learned quickly that they couldn't have regular meeting rooms.

Uhr nodded in respect as opposed to bowing. He nodded to the still silent companion wearing the odd assortment of fabrics and metals which shrouded most of its body. It nodded deeper and the mask it was wearing bodded up and down. It finally spoke and its voice carried a odd resonant tone which made it sound like two twins speaking slightly out of sync.
"I am Chlor. She who tolls the river."
Uhr frowned and turned to the agents.
"The translator works not as well with Chlor. She said her title, but odd came out. I am the one who speaks for her in important matters. It is nice to meet you."

G was fascinated by the translators - so fascinated that she started... drifting...
"Oh! Very nice to meet you, too," she said, quickly.
She sighed.
"Can we have a seat, and discuss your arrival?"

"You may sit, though our legs are not made for chairs as yours are."
Something that might have passed for laughter came from deep within the alien's chest and they both stepped through the door following their guides.

MD walked towards a chair at the large table. She was hoping other agents would show up, but she wouldn't bet her life on that. This meeting should pass easily, as long as they all understood each other.
