The Science Research Institute [Semi-Closed, see note]
Who: Anyone who Ideo recommended go work with the Wise Men.
Where: Gemini's Molecular Anomalies Gnosis Institute
Summary: After Ideo recommends a few people to go work with the Wise Men, they get to see the strange inner workings of their research. Good times and perhaps science is had by all.
Warnings: SCIENCE
Note: You can still go get a job by talking to Ideo or replying to the Job Posting. (OOC - you can also always talk to me and arrange it.)
The building had no markings or a fancy sign. For all intent and purposes it looked like an unmarked building in a row of similar brethren. Most civilians would pass by without knowing anything was particularly unique about it. After all, the best place for hiding was right in plain view. Two-sided windows which mean you couldn't quite see what was inside, the building itself rose about six stories high and had a single door, located on the front.
Once inside, there was a man waited behind a desk, blocking the pathway leading to what looked like a metallic door. The desk itself was without fanfare or much attention either; just a single computer, a small potted plant, a small stash of paper that looked like it was never used and a ground-line telephone that was almost laughable in the age of COMP systems. He was dressed in a suit; as with most typical Japanese businessmen. The strange black bumps on the ceiling were undoubtedly hiding cameras, making it impossible to know what they were looking at.
Once someone got in, he looked up at them, his face perfectly neutral, voice gruff and demanding an answer as soon as possible.
"Name?"

The door stands before him ominously. There's the faint sound of something humming behind it, but otherwise, it's eerily quiet. The man goes back to his desk, Persona disappearing as he continues to pretend to be occupied but is actually watching him and waiting to see what he'll do.
Last chance to step back, Mister Reeve.

What does no one have a no option.The door opens to reveal...another small, white-walled corridor ending with a large metal elevator flanked by two men that are looking more like Japanese SWAT members than scientists, covered in guns and gear.
Once he gets close enough, they indicate for himto get in. The inside is unusually large, but before he can press any buttons, a voice speaks up.
"Subject Identity Confirmed. Welcome to M.A.G.I. Nicholas Reeve." the voice was distorted and robotic. "Please. For your Safety. We ask that you. Hold on. To the Metallic Bars located on the edge of the Elevator. Decent begins in three seconds."
The door closes behind him.
"Three. Two. One...Decent begins now."
Hopefully he had held on, because suddenly the transport sounds off a small ding and begins to plummet for a hundred levels in the span of ten seconds.

"Floor 101. Main Floor. Please hold. Still. For your scan. For Weapons. Thank you."
It was perhaps a little overkill, but once that was preformed, the elevator wished him a nice day and opened the doors.
..and another desk, but this time a woman is sitting, and she seems a lot more cheerful than those before her. Standing up, she walks over and bows slightly.
"Nicholas Reeve! My name is Suzuki Momoi and on behalf of the Wise Men--are you alright?"
no subject
He forces himself to straighten a bit, hand out. "Er, it's nice to meet you, Ms. Suzuki."
no subject
"I am unused to shaking hands," she explains. "I usually just give a small bow in politeness." Walking over to her desk, she smiles at him. "I hope you won't feel offended if I clean my hands? They drill into our minds how everything has to be bacteria free..."
As a show of good faith, she also offers the bottle to him.
"Now that we're both properly ready..." Suzuki does a small bow again. "I welcome you into the M.A.G.I. Research department. If you are ready to begin, we can start the tour, and I will explain your duties at the same time."
no subject
He frowns. "My duties? I know I'm working with you guys, but I understood it would be part time at best." He follows her anyway, taking in the sights.
no subject
"The card was made for you this morning. Even just for interviews or temporary employment, we require you have it on you at all times. Please wear it around your neck and make sure you don't lose it! Losing a card could be extremely dangerous to the facility as a whole. The lab coat can be worn over your normal clothing. While you won't be experimenting yourself, it is required that all personnel who aren't military wear one."
As they go forward, the lighting dims more, and there are many paths that lead to open windowed rooms where scientists are busy working on various projects. Sometimes he can see Persona users fighting each other, attached to a machine that measure their brainwaves and body temperature. Others seem to be examining samples under microscopes. There's a room where it looks more like a bunch of demons playing together while the scientists take notes.
"There are three main branches, with most of the larger labs and silos located in the lower levels; Research, Development and Weaponry. I will be taking you to one of the Wise Men for assessment and deciding what tasks you are most qualified for."
no subject
He eyes the demon room carefully, but doesn't feel a reaction. Hmm. "Well, I suspect I won't be much good for weaponry all things considered, or for development," he admits. "I'm not very technical."
no subject
She stops speaking before leading them to a pathway on the left. The rooms seem to be getting more military in nature, and they pass a sign above them state as much; Upper Weaponry Chemical Laboratory 1 A-F. Mannequins equipped with various suits are being targeted by Persona users, as other scientists jolt down results.
"Do you have any questions so far, Miss Reeve?"
no subject
no subject
More military men and large doors. Still they went on, from section 1-E to section 1-F.
"And to answer your first question, it's a slow process. Scientific advancement requires a lot of research and analyzing. I think with the arrival of so many Otherworlders like you will help advance it much faster. That, however, is my personal opinion."
no subject
He looks a little sheepish. "Well gosh, I hope so. Anything we can do to help advance knowledge a bit." Still, it seems odd to him. He wonders how long they've been here. Were they really only here after whatever disaster, or...
"So have you guys gotten any information at all about the spiritual situation yet?" he asks, changing subject.
no subject
And Orpheus was...well...Orpheus. For scientists that was certainly a little loud for them to work with. She trailed off and changes the subject as they approach the end of the corridor.
"Perhaps I should explain to you that each of the Wise Men is responsible for one of the main branches. Mister Eiichiro Takeba is head of Research, Mister Takeharu Kirijo heads Development and Weaponry is under the care of Takahisa Kandori. He will be the one interviewing you today."
She stops as they arrive in front of another metallic door. She stands next to her, indicating a machine next to it "Please slide your card to get in, and I will see you later today." With another quick bow, she turns and leaves him alone.
no subject
"Takahisa Kandori, right. I'll keep that in mind, thank you." He nods to her. "All right, see you." He turns back to the door and, following her instructions, slides the card. Let's see what this guy looks like, eh?
