Meeting with the Board (Part 2)

"I'm ready to assist in any way I can," I assured her. "So what's the agenda?"

I settled into my seat, feeling the weight of the room's collective gaze upon me.

The gravity of the moment was not lost on any of us; with the scenario set to begin in less than an hour, our time to strategize was very short.

What had struck me about their whole organizational hierarchy was that it looked more like a company than a settlement for Gifteds.

Loking at them, you wouldn't blame anyone for assuming that they were shareholders of a company and that they were discussing business and profits.

A whole different vibe from Paul's Gifted Human Alliance, smaller too in contrast when you considered the followers.

I liked it because it was dissimilar to Paul's cult.

No one person was revered above the others, flamboyant words hadn't brought them together either.

They were just a band of people doing what they could to survive the forthcoming scenario.
