When Sean Knight and Park Jin Sung arrived, he found that Elijah Hastings and some others were also at the site, however, in a different area where numerous staff members were speaking softly to one another.
The woman hosting the meeting was about thirty years old, wearing glasses—Sean guessed she must be Nancy Davena.
"We'll start the meeting now," Nancy announced through the microphone once everyone had arrived.
Her voice was slightly androgynous, raspy, the kind currently tagged as "smoker's voice." Coupled with her fairly serious face, her speech silenced many who had been speaking.
She had an impressive presence.
"First, I would like to introduce our destination—Antarctic Continent where we will be conducting a one-month scientific expedition."
Next, I need to address the on-board discipline for our expedition: environmental rules, do not throw garbage directly into the sea, I don't want environmentalists to come protesting around our boat!
