A few minutes later, Sarah and Etienne were through customs and made their way over to Chase. "I never imagined it was so busy up here," said the young woman.
"It definitely is like a major city in orbit," replied Chase. Sarah could tell that her fiance was curious about the new comer. This is Etienne Cottu de la Valtrie. He has decided to join up with us and see the sights up here. Chase extended a hand. "A pleasure to meet you, Etienne." Jaime was the last new person to join the cell, and she had not been with them that long. In fact, this was her first mission for the team. He wondered if her brother James would make his way up here. If he did, then everyone would be here. Etienne grasped Chase's hand and shook it. "Same here, Chase. I hope my coming was not too much of a surprise." "I have learned that life is full of surprises," he added with a smile. "What is up with Jaime? I would have thought she would be here by now." Sarah was a little concerned that one of their agents was missing. "I am not sure," responded Chase as he joined her. "We can't wait here forever, though. That would look a little suspicious. I could take you to the Marriott or we could do some breakfast before you settle in. It is up to you. I can bring you up to date either way." Sarah had no preference so she turned to the newbie to see what he preferred. Etienne had followed the conversation to date and was a bit concerned about how everything seemed to be up in the air relating to this Jaime person. This was an important mission. "I think I could go for a bit of breakfast. It would give us a chance to get more exposure to the station." Chase definitely preferred that option, though he could always have grabbed something from the replicator in their room if he had wanted. "Sounds good to me. I did not get a chance to grab some before meeting you here." "Should we leave some sort of message for Jaime as to where she can find us?" asked Etienne with concern. Chase considered that for a moment. It sounded like a good idea, but he was not sure where they would leave the message. "The best thing we could do is stop by the hotel and leave one for her at the main desk. I am not sure where she is." (tag?)
