"Why not?" Seras asked. "Vampires are harmed by holy magic. I think Sophia's magic is like that, and it...has some connection to her blood." she added.
"Oh...what reasons, if you don't mind me asking." Seras said. "I can't explain it any better." she added.
The receptionist quickly checked her computer, searching through the intranet. After a moment, she looked back up at Sam. "I am sorry sir, but there is no such thing as "XCOM". No records exists of such an organization being connected to the United Nations. However, I can direct you to the council for Extra-Terrestial Relations and Emergency Measures if you'd like? They also handle extra-dimensional relations."Nailik said:
OOC: Missed this last night, but since neither Gear nor Demonjazz have posted since, I guess it can just be continued now.
Detective Stone's entrance into the galley came near the end of Joanna and Samus's conversation, and so Joanna had mellowed enough not to be startled by his entrance. However, when he suddenly bore down on her barking accusations, she sprang out of her seat as though she had been electrified. Before Stone could react she was on the opposite side of the table from him with her bandolier of knives in her hands, her eyes wide with shock and anger.
"I meant exactly what I said." She snapped, her voice already shaking with adrenaline. "Would you judge me as well, for the things I must do to survive? To simply have the right to die without haunting my world as a monster?"

After sleeping through the entire day up to this point, Alain woke up and approached Mr. Stone and Joanna and whoever else was around... wherever they were. "Oh, hey. More newcomers. That's cool and stuff. And stuff."
"Oh...right." Seras said as she looked away from Vicky and decided to stay silent for a while.
Samus also stood, drawing her Paralyser, holding it between Stone and Joanna so that she could get either of them if they tried to make a move. "Back down, both of you."
Faro walked in to where he heard a commotion going on. He saw the new girl, Samus, and Stone standing off, in a sense. He stood in the background, hoping he wouldn't have to intervene.
Alain started walking away as he realized there was a fight breaking out. "Ooookay I'm just gonna back away slowly now." He said, before turning around and seeing a pistol pointed right at his head.
[color=01A9DB]"I thought I told you not to run away from any more fights."[/color] Roland said sternly, holstering his revolver after a short pause. [color=01A9DB]"Remember what I said."[/color]
"B-b-but this fight doesn't even involve me, what do you expect me to do?!" Alain stammered, now backing up away from Roland and back towards everyone else.
[color=01A9DB]"What I expect is for you to run away from anything that frightens you, like a spoiled child. I'm hoping for you to prove me wrong."[/color] Roland replied to Alain, paying more attention to the others than Alain in case he had to intervene.
"Okay... [sub]I guess I'll just stand and watch?[/sub]" Alain said mostly to himself as he turned to watch what happened between Samus, Stone, and Joanna.

Joanna's right hand was clenched on the hilt of one of her daggers, but she didn't draw, her gaze now fixed on Samus's... thing. She could see from the way Samus wielded it that it was a weapon, but she had no idea what kind, and that made her uneasy. Still, she didn't let go of the dagger, more wary that the short-tempered man in the long coat would do than what Samus might do. With Samus, Stone, Alain, Roland and Faro all gathering to watch, the galley was getting awfully crowded, and the fact that she had no idea how most of them would react to the angry one's next outburst made her jumpier still.
Drawn by the sound of unrest, Steve boarded the ship to investigate. He had removed his motorcycle leathers by this point, and was wearing a pair of tough looking blue trousers, and a white t-shirt stamped with a simple logo in dark grey:
"What's going on in here?" He asked the first person he could reach in the corridor outside the galley, as it was getting too crowded to go inside.

Samus looked at the door as she heard Steve speak. "Stay back. Delicate situation." Samus looked at Mike and Joanna. "Both of you, weapons down. Now."
Joanna looked sharply from Stone, to Samus, and back to Stone. Slowly, reluctantly, she began to release her hold on the hilt of the dagger, though she held onto the bandolier.
While the receptionist searched the computer, Sam stood by, occasionally glancing back to the security personel present. [color=edc393]"Wierd."[/color] He mumbled to himself once the receptionist was finished, and looked back up to him.
"Maybe this agency can give us what we need just as well. Accept the proposal, we'll see what comes of it." Elm instructed over the radio.
[color=edc393]"Okay."[/color] Sam responded to both Elm and the receptionist. [color=edc393]"I'll take it. What's the earliest date an appointment could be made, and where would it be?"[/color]

[color=edc393]"Alright. Thanks."[/color] Sam responded, then stepped away from the reception counter. While he moved, Sam brought his left hand to the side of his helmet, pressing one of the two buttons, muting the helmet. [color=edc393]"So, are you coming inside for this?"[/color] He asked Elm.
"No, I'll be present, too. I'll be with you in two minutes and twenty seconds." Elm responded, flying the jet-bike up to the roof of the UN building, and touching down there. Releasing the magnetic locks, Elm floated out, then hovered to and over the edge of the roof. It then let itself drop towards the ground, starting up its propulsion system about a quarter of the way to hitting the ground to decelerate, coming to a halt safely above it. Entering the building, it joined Sam in precisely the time it said it would.
[color=edc393]"Right. Let's go."[/color] Sam said, starting to walk towards the hall the receptionist indicated, Elm moving alongside him. Soon, the duo reached the room, Sam knocking on the door.
OoC: Captcha=welcome to earth! How fitting.

Inside the room, which was surprisingly dark, a man sat behind a desk with his elbows on the table and hands clasped in front of him. With the only source of light coming from the curtained windows behind the man, it was hard to tell his facial features. What was clear however, was that he was completely bald. His voice, when he spoke, was deep and raspy. [color=000066]"Greetings and, on behalf of the United Nations: Welcome to Earth."[/color]
In the shadows of the room, barely visible, stood numerous guards. These guards were better equipped than those in the lobby, wearing blue helmets and carrying menacing assault rifles.
