People weren't moving fast enough, she gave them an order. They should be running over here! No... She couldn't expect that much of them, she knew that. It was perhaps a bit early still, maybe they should have run some more test and controlled the data before doing this. But there was no point in regrets now, it was done and... Someone entered.
Piper glanced over her own shoulder towards the door to see who it was, Jon. He didn't seem that interested though, seeing how he didn't even look up from whatever it was that he was doing with his own arm at the moment did create a wrinkle between Piper's eyebrows. The lips even curved in annoyance but the facial expression disappeared as fast as it had appeared once he apologized.
"Anyways, you called?"
"Yes, I have an announcement to make to everyone, so you have to wait here until everyone arrive. It's important, so..." Just as Piper was about to finish her sentence the doors slid open once more, revealing Matilda on the other side. And she just nonchalantly walked inside, talking about being busy. Did anyone actually want to hear what she had to say? At the moment it felt like everyone just thought she was just bothering them when they were working. It didn't lighten her mood at all.
"Well, I was about to tell Wolff that I have an important announcement to make so the fact that you want to inspect the laboratory have to wait. And you have to wait for everyone else as well. At the moment all other priorities have to wait." Finally people started to drop in, most of them not making any sort of fuss about having more important things to do at the moment like some others. But Piper made sure to give Jerry a harsh look when he left his post when one of the female members entered, Rana was her name, Piper just didn't know that much about her since she withdrew from the rest of the crew. She never said much but at the moment she looked bothered by Jerry's approach. "You have work to do Leighton, get back to the computer."
While he walked back to his chair one more annoying character showed up, or well it was probably just her mood talking rubbish. So even though Quentin brought good news, news that made her breath out if just a little bit, she couldn't voice the praise without hissing, "Great! At least something is going as planned today!"
People continued to enter the control room, soon everyone was inside. There was Helen and Andreev who entered shortly after Quentin, after them Pete showed his ugly mug. But then the worst of them all showed up, Kevin. Piper didn't have any patient for the man at all. She would actually be happy if he just stayed far away from her today. She wouldn't care if he missed the announcement. But here he was. Showing of his teethβs in a large grin, "Hello! Captain you look adorable like always!"
The moment his hand approached her face she waved it away, glaring at him, "King, keep your filthy hands to yourself. And stop bothering me, back away."
Kevin just laughed and raised his hands while he backed away, "Sure! I'm not here to start any fuzz, I'm just being friendly." The only answer he got from Piper was that she snorted at him before directing her attention towards the door once more.
Kevin continued to walk around the room, greeting people, "Jon, my man! What are you doing? Fixing your arm? Quentin, you're looking fine today! So are you Helen!"
In the end he ended up beside Matilda with the same huge smirk decorating his face, the confident bastard even stretched out his arm to place it around her shoulders, "Matilda, my queen, you're looking stunning like always! You and me after this, what do you say? You can't say no, like come one, it's me."
