Alice is shocked when she finds she is unable to read the man's thoughts and even more surprised when it seems that he had been able to kick her out of his mind. She does her best to not have a guilty expression on her face as she listens to Isamu and Tom talking to the newcomer.
When Isamu introduces her as Rebekah, she doesn't react until he gives her a slight push indicating he was talking about her. Smiling politely, she replies in an American accent so unlike her usual British accent, "Hi there, it's nice to meet you. I am an undergrad student here. I'm studying Journalism."

Tom nods to the professor "Anything you can do would helpful. But we'll just have to go to the story." Tom takes a brief look at Alice, still surprised by how complete her metamorphisis seems to be. "Rebekah, is everything alright?"

Dr. Priest responds to Alice/Rebekah, "Journalism? I'm surprised our paths haven't crossed until now then, hmm...?" he trails off again in thought about soliciting help to the students. "I wonder if Lancaster has retired..." he mutters to himself.

Focusing on the group for a moment, the guy who had blocked Alice's scan turned and walked off towards the elevators at a determined pace.
" Can I help you folks?" Asked a security guard. " If not I'm going to have to ask you to move along. there's no loitering here in the lobby."

Turning to look the security guard over, Solomon fights back the outrage and indignation welling up within him. Biting his tongue, he merely replies "No, these students are here on a school assignment, and I have business to attend to with Bartholomew Lancaster. Last time I checked, he was working in the Public Relations office."
Turning back to the students, "I believe Mr. Lancaster can help you on your assignment as well. He's a very kind and generous man, and a dear friend of our family. He was also a bit of a mentor to me in my youth. Come with me, right this way." as he begins directing them toward the elevators and the PR dept.

Alice nods at Tom, looking relieved that the man didn't realize she was the one trying to read this thoughts. "I'm ok." she replies with a small smile.
When Solomon tells them that Mr Lancaster can help them, she smiles and follows him toward the elevators with the others.

The guard nodded," Mr. Lancaster's office is on the third floor. Take the elevators on the right. He's in right now, but he brought his golf clubs with him, so I doubt he's in all day."

Solomon nods to the guard with a polite smile and echoes Tom's appreciation. "Yes, thank you." as he turns to follow after Tom.

when the group arrived at Lancaster's office, he met them in the doorway, with his clubs in hand. " Oh, hello Solomon, I was just about to leave. One of your classes here for a visit I presume?"
Over Isamu's, Alice's and Tom's band-adios came the exchange between Sierra and Jason, who obviously didn't realize they were on the open channel...
'Jason? ... i'm Picking up Wraith a couple of floors down .. be really careful. he's with someone else, i'm not sure who though
Gotcha, you watch your backs too

Alice tries to not visibly react to what she is hearing over the radio, knowing that Jason could take care of himself. She smiles politely at Lancaster in a distracted way as she waits for Solomon to answer.

Solomon smiles, "perfect timing, as usual, I see. good to see you again too, Bartholomew. actually, the students were here on their own doing research on some new zoning bylaw proposals. I just thought I'd stop in for a quick visit and have a word about the help they hire. between the receptionist and the on-duty security, it's a small miracle anyone can even get in or out the front door. pay someone $10.00 an hour and they think they own city hall. honestly, where do they find these people?"
(OOC, sorry for the delay. it's been a hectic week)

Lancaster sighs quietly as he shakes his head at Solomon. "My apologies. It's hard to know where these people get a sense of entitlement. I'll look into the situation." Looking over at Tom, Alice and Isamu, he asks "Have you been directed to where you can research the proposals?"

Tom nods "I'm aware of the various issues, however, I was hoping it'd be possible to sit in on a meeting of the city council to record this matter for the official record. There's a lot of talk at the university on the issue, and the people need the facts straight."

" That should be easy to arrange." Lancaster replied, " and your timing couldn't be better. there's a session due to begin momentarily. I was, uh..." he stammered a bit, realizing he was busted," going to skip it in favor of a business meeting. But I suppose I can reschedule, come along, I'll show you to the press gallery so you can observe." and with that, he lead them to theather style bowl overlooking the council chambers a floor below.
