Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sabin's full six feet towered over the miniature woman as he crossed his arms, but kept the bemused expression. "Oh... well... you don't want to actually know more about what's going on then... I see. Pity. We're close to releasing the news publically - and while you may scoop the press I was going to speak with about the release, you'll be missing the full story. Flashy photographs can be nice. But substance is much better. Sorry to hear that." He shook his head, looking mock-disappointed.

In Sabin's mind he grinned a face-stretching grin. That was precisely what he wanted to hear. With that phrase, the mention of "costume" this young woman had revealed her hand - what she knew, and more precisly, what she didn't know.

"Because he's working on the role... the film of a lifetime. But if you don't want to know about it... and the other people who are working on it with him. That's fine. I'm just surprised that you're content with the few scraps of information you stole as opposed to sharing the full meal." He shrugged, hands in his pockets with a cat-that-ate-the-canary smile.

Sabin grinned and clapped his hands together. "Excellent! This will save me the time of choosing who to 'leak' the story to. Although... I should ask... what paper? Magazine? are you working with?"

He gesture to the jeep. "Come with us back to the facility and we'll talk" He smiled genially.

Sabin had a hard time choking back his reaction. Weekly World News? She was a tabloid reporter?? If it wasn't for the high tech camera equipment, Sabin would have almost second guessed just allowing her to leave - no one would believe her anyway in that newspaper.

"Well! What a neat way to break the story. And later you can laugh and say it really was true!" He chuckled and offered her a hand to shore.

"So! You must tell me. The alien babies... Elvis sightings.... how much of it is true?" Sabin smiled- he actually had something of a professional interest.

"Let me help you with those" Sabin offered, gesturing to her camera equipment.

Sabin shrugged. "Suit yourself." He gestured to the back of the jeep. "Toss it in and I'll take you back."

He shook his head. "'Only the real things?' I guess that answers that question, then." Sabin said, sounding somewhat disappointed. "You're in for a treat here, though."

Sabin held the door open for her and then hopped in teh driver's seat, joined soon after by Aubrey.

"It's just a short drive from here." Sabin smiled back to her, while punching in a key code into a pad under the dash to signal the offshore crew to come confiscate the boat.

He put the car into gear and drove it off the beach and onto a dirt path that led into the jungle. It was so lush. Outside of the narrow road cut through the trees, it looked wild, completely untamed. As if on cue, a small monkey scampered across the road, only beng narrowly missed by the jeep as Sabin slammed on the breaks and cut the wheel to avoid it. Recovering smoothly, Sabin acceleraged again, and large buildings became visable over the treeline - built into the side of a cliffface. Dark, reflective glass-lined steel.

Moments later, they were driving towards a tall, metal gate that swung upon as they approached. Inside was a small lot with a few other vehicles parked. Sabin pulled in next to one of them and hopped, out, opening the door for a frazzled Aubrey, and then Joliette.

"We're here." Sabin smiled.

Aubrey nodded to Sabin and went inside.

"You can leave your heavier things in the jeep if you like." Sabin mentioned. "And we can go find somewhere more comfortale to talk. Though, I'll warn you - this IS a tropical Island. There are a few nasty diseases floating around and if you dont' want to take any risks, I'd reccomend the immunization."
