Take this opportunity

"Hey, Sam! You were called to the meeting room C by the boss man!" My workmate Mandy said as she pointed to me before she walked out of the library. 

I nodded and quietly thanked her before gathering my belongings and making my way to one of the three meeting rooms in this sector. I currently work as a human biologist teacher and study all different types of bodily structures. My interest in human biology started when I was about twelve years old. I was watching a documentary and I was just so fascinated with the human body and how it worked, I knew I wanted to study it. My interest further grew about 6 years ago when a scientist named Geffory Grahm had found a new species of altered humans. These beings weren't fully human, they seemed more advanced.  He had explained that they had been more like a mix between feline and human. Of course, nobody had believed him, however, once pictures and talk of testing came out to the public, it was like a whole new world. At first, they look so normal it was almost scary, however, you could tell due to their body features as well as the primitive look they had in their eyes that these were no ordinary human beings. No, they were much more. It was something so new to me and I just had to study more. Nobody really knew where the location of the site was. At some point, after months of research, Dr. Grahm had seemed to have fallen off the earth as well. Tests and talk of these people were still around, but it was as if everything kind of just fell out.

I remember sitting with my friends in my small ass apartment in Suwon South Korea watching documentaries on human bodies and watching all types of weird things. Honestly once I found out what Mr. Grahm found the new species I was utterly speechless. I had to go to the states as soon as possible to pursue, my career in the field I have always dreamed of. I have now lived In the states for about 4 years. Throughout my time here I was able to get information regarding these species. It may have been a liiittle tiny bit illegal but ehh whatever. I was able to find, the species was based in mountains, they had been found to be Native Americans that we're still in tune with their own beliefs and ways of life. From the pictures I was (again, not so legally) able to get, these people were truly beautiful, and they really did seem like very traditional people. I don't think I will ever be able to forget the way they looked so human, but at the same time so-

Lost in thought as I approach the C meeting room I bump into someone on accident making me stumble over. 

Jeez dude bump into me any harder will you? (yo man no temper necessary)

"a- m.. my bad!" the mystery person says helping me up.

" It's fine," I reply coldly lightly snatching my arm away.

He stares at me for a second and helps me grab some of my dropped papers. He hands them to me and I snatch them from him not too gently. I feel like I shouldn't be acting so mean, it was slightly my fault as well for being lost in thought, but I am a busy bitch I have no time for this. Making sure I have all of the documents, I push them in order and grab my bag from the floor. After, I shake my head putting my hair back in place. He watches as I walk into the meeting room before leaving. Ugh, just what I need... another stupid lecture probably about how we need to be more active with our students. This is college if I want my students to do a damn paper for the rest of the year then that is damn well what I am going to have them do.  I roll my eyes as I look around. There happen to be only about three other people in this room not including myself or the 'boss'. I raise my eyebrow and sit down in a seat across from some person I have never met before her red hair making her freckled-covered face really stand out. She is actually quite pretty. I also don't fail to notice I am the only guy in the room beside the professor. Ohhh how splendid.

"Okay! you finally made it. Let's begin shall we?" he says in a sing-song voice.

Oh yes~ how freaking splendid aye? (aye man again why so hasty)

"First off, let me just say congratulations to all of you for being chosen to take part in this... well let's just say 'new adventure'," he says chuckling to himself and getting serious quite fast.

Wow, an adventure I am so excited I could scream!! (uhmmm Chile...)

"If you look in front of each of you I have just handed out a small folder in which you will shred right by the door before you leave this room. Minus the information, you will take in which I will inform you." He paused for a second waiting for some response from the lot of us and nodding when we all agree. "For now let's begin to talk. This is nothing we have ever done before. I also cannot guarantee that you will not have any hardships throughout this research expedition. You will be going somewhere that not many people know of and studying something you all seem quite qualified for based on what you teach, as well as the materials I have seen throughout the years of your teaching." I look around to the others and they all seem just as intrigued as I am myself.

Actually not what I was expecting...

He nods to himself and logs onto a computer which he then proceeds to project onto a large screen. He slides through his documents and eventually lands on some pictures that seem quite familiar to me.

"Very well." he clapped. "I am aware some of you may know who these people are." He shows a picture of a Native American woman with vibrant green eyes. She has on traditional clothes and is sitting atop a horse with matching garments. "Now I want you all to take in this photo and I will explain momentarily if you do not know who she is." Now I can say that I am thoroughly intrigued. When I was first called to a meeting I was expecting to be going over expectations for the students and other teachers throughout the year. Surprisingly, we are going over this specific subject and at the moment I am very pleased with the topic. "Let me explain to you ladies who this exactly is first." This confused me because I had not known he knew that I had recognized this picture.

"The clan called her Taborri, which we later found out to mean voice that carries. Mr. Choi I do believe has seen and actually studied a bit about this woman and her tribe a little while ago. Do you have any other information that could be of use before I go on?" He looks expectantly at me and smiles ushering me to talk.

"I- I really don't know much besides they live in mountains somewhere further away, and I believe Dr. Grahm had said that they were a feline mix, possibly Mountain Lion decent?" I continue to go over various things I had learned and he nods continuing to explain to the ladies about these people.

After explaining for some time, he continued giving me more information as well as the girls.

"I hope you are all getting what I am trying to tell you. Recently we pulled the files of the Zaltana Tribe, which are exactly what Mr. Choi said, a clan tribe of Native Americans who are mixed with Mountain Lion DNA and still practice their own beliefs. Going on from this, we believe Dr. Grahm has recently sent out to us a new spot in which he has found. It took him and a group of navigators and scientists a few months to really locate the tribe. We found them to be just below the mountains at the edge of a forest." He continued to click through the documents until he landed on a picture of a man...
