[Meanwhile, Heinrick is doing some paperwork. Never ends, that paperwork. Then, SUDDENLY!! There's a knock on the door!] * Heinrick looks up at the door and sets down his papers. "Come in." [Gertrude comes in! "Dr. Engels. I want to ask you something."] * Heinrick folds his hands down and regards Gertrude with a neutral expression. "Go ahead." ["I've read the dossier on your last mission. You encountered Eileen Rhodes again."] ( Or someone did, anyhow. ) (So you ask the person who was unavailable for the mission, yay!) (Ha ha.) (That is funny.) * Heinrick nods and looks up at her more fully. "You wish to speak to me about her then." [Gertrude doesn't nod, she just gets to the point. "We've been running into her a lot recently, both of our teams. Each time, she seems to acquire a new ability. I'd like to hear your theory on how that's possible when her BGA is only 18, according to Zukunft's records."] * Heinrick takes his paperwork off his desk slowly and slides it into one of the drawers while getting a pensive expression on his face. He sits quiet and unmoving for a little while, pondering the question. * Heinrick response quietly but seriously for the next part, little trace of his usual hinted amusement or confidence. "What do you know of Miss Rhodes' past before Zukunft?" ["Other than she was in the military with me? Not much. Her parents are both dead. She has a younger sister, who she mutilated after she left the military. That's about it."] * Heinrick nods slowly. "There are a few possibilities I can think of. Not all of them are scientific I'm afraid. But I feel it is best to look at all the possibilities and eliminate them one by one.." [This is taking too long, sooooo.... the PA system shouts: "Blue Team, report to briefing room #1. Blue Team, report to briefing room #1."] (Gee, asking someone technobabble without knowing the full world view and not being present for the last two missions with Eileen taking too long? I wouldn't have thought. :P) ( Thems the breaks! ) * Heinrick stands slowly. "I will be sure to discuss this with you later. I believe though that we all agree....Miss Rhodes is too much of a threat to continue along this path." [Gertrude nods. "Well, then. I'll talk to you about this subject later." She leaves!] * Heinrick adjusts his glasses and heads out, missing the opportunity for plot! ( Not really. I didn't have any other plot there than to pose the question :P ) (Deals with demons!)
