Michael was prepared to meet the new Head of Construction and Operations. It was an essential position that needed to be filled, especially given their new endeavors with the second dome. His department would be working closely with Cosgrove and her people, so he needed the new man to be ready.

He listened, able to hear even footsteps as they entered the lobby before his office. The blonde secretary was there, he knew. She would likely let them in as soon as he heard the footsteps stop for a moment. He faced his door this time, ready for the inevitable.

-Governor Michael Halloway
