Damage control

The arrival at the lab is actually rather anticlimactic. Nothing new has happened, and thus far, no evidence has been found regarding anyone having been there. In fact, some of the news outlets are already speculating that it could be a publicity stunt, though no one seems to know what it would be for.

However, it’s the lack of evidence that worries everyone at the lab, especially Mike. If it were simply another accident, like he was, they would be discovered quickly. Professionals who don’t want to be found are generally very difficult to find. Mike worries about why someone like that would be here.

Kyrie, of course, tries to break the tension with humor. “You’re just worried that you’re not going to be the only magic dick anymore!”

Mike laughs. “Even if ten more arrived, I think there’s plenty of interest to keep everyone occupied.”

Liam giggles, giving Mike a wink. “Maybe they’ll show themselves if we mention that there’s plenty of booty for everyone!”

Damon sighs. “At least we’re the only ones who know for sure what happened. We don’t need anything else to rile up the protests.”

Alicia nods. “And we’re going to have to explain everything to the security office. Hopefully Donna is understanding.”

Mike shakes his head. “I don’t like hiding anything. If it comes out, it makes us all look bad.”

Damon sighs. “We keep it quiet until we speak with Donna. If she says we release the information, we will. She will have a better idea of the social situation than we will, that’s her job.”

Mike nods. “Makes sense. You’re the experts here anyway.”

Alicia smiles at him. “Don’t worry, we have everything handled.”

Kyrie grins. “I can think of a few things that need handling…”

Even Mike rolls his eyes at that. “You never stop, do you.”

Kyrie winks. “The alarm going off interrupted Liam and I. I blame you for that, and we’re going to punish you later!”

Liam grins and nods, and Alicia laughs. Mike chuckles, shaking his head. “I suppose that means another late night for me, hmm?”

Kyrie grins.
