McSweeney listens as Lauren, and finally Darren, introduce themselves. Once all are seated, he flickers for a moment, before another voice begins talking.
All the children can hear it with their ears, but they also feel as if they're hearing him directly in their minds, as well. It's a man's voice, belonging to a man in his mid twenties or so. They've heard him before- Byron Rivendare, who is the big boss of Project Bluesky. He's checked in on their training before, and although none of them have ever met the man before, the childrens internal databases tell them everything they'd need to know, at least until they meet him in person.
"Good, very good, boys and girls. You're all preforming wonderfully, and I'm very proud to announce that each and every one of you is..." There's a brief sound of paper rustling. "...Meeting or exceeding expectations? This is terrible. Who wrote thi-The mic's still...? ...Oh! Oh."
Rivendare clears his throat, before continuing, trying to sound as official as possible. "Anyway, I don't want you guys to ever hesitate to talk to one another. You guys are all in this together- You're family now, whether you like it or not. Lookin' at you here, Darren. So I really want you guys to get along."
There's a momentary pause before he continues. "Anyway...I'm pleased to announce that you're actually done with your first day of school. I know it was grueling and horrible, coming in and having to meet your teacher, find your desks, and tell everyone who you were, but try to stick with me, okay? I've got-" The kids all pick up the sound of papers being rustled again- "Oh, here it is. I've got a mission for you...That is, if the first official Wunderkind unit is up to it...?"
He pauses now, as if waiting for a response.
