((Should i know what this is and what it proteins to IC? Cus i know it OOC))
"Well, if i were you, id be more interested in the fact that there is a phrase written in english. Insane english, sure, but english."
[Afraid that'd be too Meta.
It's more fun this way.]
The text is actually not in English, It's just that Tal and Jon translated it already.
"Yes. We can look at it when you place it back on the table. Do not pick in such a way again. The book is very old and we should probably make a photocopy or three to ensure the data isn't lost."
"Intern! Fetch us a photocopier! Also a janitor!" Tal points at a random intern.
An Intern quickly fled from the room, only to return soon after with a hand photocopier and a Janitor in tow.
The Janitor seems like a scruffy aged man, he doesn't seems to be at all bothered by the sights and smell of the room. Armed with a mop and little else, the Janitor sniffed, readjusts his 'tache and said "Hi."

Meanwhile..
"Still got the heatseekers to worry about. Flares, Benefactor, flares."
Zachery and Arthur's helicopter suddenly had it's flares shot out like tiny little hot-as-all-fuck missiles, drawing the missiles away from the helicopter itself and towards the bright burning light. Saving them by mere miliseconds.
Since the healing salve worked i'd like to make some more, enough for a small container or two that I can carry around for emergency first aid. Also I will bite the bullet and make a tea out of one or two of the other plants meant for that and drink it myself.
Also for the week i'd like to train, train, train like usual, make sure to take breaks though and not wear myself out.
It turns out, the Tea version of the plants seems to be a strong painkiller. It's why the Intern said they didn't feel the pain and continue to not feel pain after a while.
It helped in his training too, even as he runs, box and lift weights, Zander doesn't feel the stains on his heart or the burning aches in his muscles. It was kind of relaxing, really. Like working out to Classical music.
When it wore off, though. He feel like he could just die when all of that exhaustion and burns came to him all at once.

At some point in time, Maximus took Vigil to the Company's pub.
And Jenny too took Aria to the Company's pub for their 'Girl's time.'
There is only one Company pub in the building.
Drinks were shared, bottles of beers and fancy cocktails were on the house and the DJ played their music in the Honor of Foxhound.
One thing leads to another, Flirts were exchanged and now, somehow, Aria finds herself dancing with Vigil. Both a little tipsy from a few drinks too many and their respective partners who brought them here too have paired up in the dance a distance away, laughing and having fun of their own.
