Rabbi and ZB: Rabbi and the Spaniard shepherd everyone out of the building primarily concerned with preventing panic. ZB and the Edwardses join a growing crowd at the entrance of the science building, where they are reunited with the rest of the "All Nighter" participants.
The crowd consists mostly of scientists and their grad students, but a number of marines move through the crowd, testing for pathogens and administering first aid where needed. ZB sees Dr. Han snickering while her two grad students busily attempt to apologize to Dr. Hernandez (who stubbornly refuses to admit that there is anything for which they need to apologize). Meanwhile, Dr Bandeau sits on the ground with his head between his knees while on of the resident psychology professors coaches him through the after effects of his panic attack.
Beamer: As the MPs lead you toward the Science building, you see a group of people gathering at the entrance of the building. Most seem to be faculty, but there are a few grad students and armored marines among the crowd.
Among the faculty, you see a few faces that are familiar from your reading. Dr. Hernandez and Dr. Han (among the most acclaimed geneticists on Earth) are there, as is Dr. Bandeau (an up and coming xenogeneticist). You also notice the face of ZB among the crowd.
The two men in control of the situation are your apparent destination. The first is a large, bearded man wearing a suit and a fish-shaped tie. The other is whip thin and clad in slate grey powered armor. The armored man turns toward you when the lead MP addresses him as Hunter Rodriguez.

"Hello Hunter. I am Captain Jonathan Andrews of the Skadi Navy." Jonathan puts his hand forward as a gesture of respect and to give The Spainard a chance to shake it. "What is going on here? And why in the darkest corners of Hell are you in need of me, or do MP's screw with orders here too?"

Rabbi will just wait until the Spaniard has shook his hand. And after a decent amount of time passes rabbi will shake his hand and introduce himself as hunter rabbi.

"Ah! Beamer isn't it?" The Spaniard grabs Beamer's hand and shakes it briefly, then indicates Rabbi, "This is Rabbi (Hunter Von Kreiger to lesser folk). And I'm Miguel Estevan Domingo Rodriguez. Usually just Spaniard to my face and THE Spaniard in the third person."The Spaniard walks a slow circle around Beamer, "Though, I must say...The way Jade was bragging about this brilliant new Skadian pilot he'd recruited, I kinda expected something a little more...I don't know...professional. Still, you can't judge a book by its cover. Take Rabbi for example, he may not look like much, but he's the toughest desperado who ever wore a beard, make no mistake.
"But on to business, you are here because the President activated all Hunters on Earth and placed them under my authority. The theory is that this Quebec Virus business was engineered. Our job is to find the guys responcible and 'convince' them to stop."

Rabbi now decides to take off his suit coat and tie because I'm going to assume it is very hot outside "All right then" rabbi says as he walks forward "Do we have any leads?".

Beamer waits for a few seconds to size up the matter in his brain.
"Well I am proud to hear that you are the leader of all Hunters. I did speak with Jade but in no way commited to joining with him. I am a Captain in the Skadi Naval forces. I have just recieved a new promotion and if I ever get off this rock I plan to return to duty where I can decide what lies in my future. I am well known in our ranks for starting and finishing trouble. That is why Jade approached me. I would love to get out of here and it seems that the only way is to help you guys out. As to whom has started this flu I cannot say, but couldn't the Rabbi just bless this forsaken planet and then we all get on with our lives?" Beamer smiles knowing that this is not possible but is is still funny to him none the less.
"So who do I wrangle first? Oh and I would like to get the veil, planning makes me hungry." He still chuckles.

Rabbi's vision pans to beamer and raises an eyebrow "Rabbi is my handle, y'know like yours is beamer. My name is Sebastian Von Kreiger".

Jonathan smiles. "Yes, I am called Beamer due to my weapon choice and smile." He flashes he galaxy famous dimples at Rabbi. "I figured that you got called that either cause you are a Bad Jew or you really bless others. Now I suggest we find a way to genocide all the infected members of this world. Discover what caused it in the first place and prevent spread; or last, but my personal favorite, declare ourselves the new rulers of this world and start rebuilding a strong society." His grin turns to ZB, "I would recomend operation repopulation begin with you, but you likely would rather study (forget the alien race). So lets find some surviving co-eds and get to duty." He says the entire phrase with such confidance and such a straight face that you cannot tell if he was jesting or not.

Well rabbi never really developed a sense of humor so rabbi will take every word beamer just said literally. Then rabbi just stares at beamer quizzically for a moment, then his attention turns back to the Spaniard. "Well i think I'm going to go get my other suit" rabbi says as he darts off in the direction of his mother.

"Hey Rabbi! Hit the Dallas Police Impound Lot and grab the clothes there. They got left there." Beamer calls out as the Rabbi leaves.
