Fredericks nods, and gestures for you to follow him. He leads you out the sliding door and to the left, away from the facility entrance. As you walk down the hallway, he begins to speak.
"I did serve as Masterson's aide, sir. In fact, I've been with this particular branch of the Agency since it was in Hong Kong. Before that, I was a field agent. One of the best, at least according to my performance reports."
As you are cataloging this information, three men and one woman in black suits come striding down the hallway. The tall, brunette man at the head of the group does a visible double-take when he realizes who is walking towards him. He quickly brings his group to a halt, and addresses you.
"You must be the new director, then. Well, let me be the, well, I guess third person to welcome you to Taiwan! My name is McCoy. Fox McCoy. I head up the field agents here. We were just heading to the surface to get to Seoul, sir."
The woman standing directly behind McCoy gives him a little shove, saying "Let's get a move on, Mulder! We've got a job to do!" McCoy gives you a little smile, and then leads his team down the hallway you came from.
"That's their little joke. It was inevitable, really, what with him being named Fox and all."
Just a little ways further down the hallway, you come to a fairly large sliding blast door, next to a smaller door.
This is the barracks and the armory, sir. Armory behind the big door, barracks behind the little one. We like to keep the troops close to the big guns in case of emergency. Makes us all sleep better. The field agents bunk with the combat agents to foster camaraderie. At least, that's what Director Masterson said. Myself, I think it's because HQ didn't want to spring for more than one nice room.
Fredericks continues the tour, pointing out the civilian sleeping quarters, the server rooms, the cafeteria, and the hackers' workstations. You finally arrive at an unmarked elevator door.
"This leads to the Library. Very hush hush stuff down there. You'll need another person with a high-level access key to even get in the same room as the access console. Fortunately, I am such a person. You ever need to find out about something incredibly classified, just give me a ring. I'll be over in a flash.
You thank Fredericks for the tour, and head back to your office. Time flies by as you properly get settled in, and you are surprised when your computer screen starts flashing red. You hurry over...
AGENCY COMMS SYSTEM
INIT SATELLITE UPLINK.......COMPLETE
LOCATION: SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA
Three men and a woman, all in black suits, stand in the rain outside a grey apartment complex. Cars speed by on the roadway behind them. The tallest of them fiddles with what appears to be an earpiece.
"Testing...testing...Alright. The link is online, Director. McCoy speaking. You should be able to hear and see us. Nano-cams are nifty, aren't they! Okay, let's get to brass tacks. We've located the apartment of Hong Min Ki. Even got his room number, 306. How do you want us to handle the approach?"
