President Lee had been staring at Mina for most of the time she was interacting with the men and women who isolated themselves to the third level. Each person had its own cubicle that was made of blast resistant glass. They also had doors that could be opened and closed at will, but many of the third level natives did not close them, allowing themself a small opportunity to escape if something with their invention went wrong.
"Doctor Rebecca, take Mina to section three. You men stay here," President Lee said. Mina was afraid that he would give the men orders to do something foul to her, but that was his department, and she did not believe he could convince men smarter than him to go against their nature.
When Mina was well out of ear shot, President Lee turned to the men who were still discussing how they planned to woo Mina. He cleared his throat, but neither man paid any attention until he clapped loudly; startling his scientists, many of whom cursed in agitation.
