Interlude

When Brandon finished giving his explanation, the woman stared in silence as she contemplated his words. It did not take long, however, before she reached a decision. "Increase surveillance on the guests I've sent to Earth. Make sure they're comfortable, but don't limit them. Try to keep them from going to the Inn, but if you can't then just report to me. Regarding the Inn and the Midnight games, you may do as you see fit so long as it does not compromise the safety of Earth. Before the gathering in a week, I'll send someone over to join you and observe."

With those instructions given, the woman's hologram disappeared and the people in the room breathed a sigh of relief. With that out of the way, they now needed to decide their own actions.

"Brandon, you're the one who's been there. How do you suggest we prepare for the upcoming games?"
