Re-Entry

[K2]

Capital Building, Sora Wing: Zarethian Hand Headquarters
12:00 Capital District Time : 04:00 Hours After The Temar Attack

Yairhoff Haydenn approached the building with pause. He
didn't want to be here. However; he really didn't have much
of a choice, now did he? After all. The Zarethian Empire was
under attack. He needed to do his duty as a citizen. If that meant
seeking re-entry into the Zarethian Hand, that is what he would
seek.

How much service he could present, he did not know. He had
been fairly well-ranked at the time, eight years ago. Back then,
Muddywater was directly under the Director. Everything changed
when the Hand reorganized, after the supposed death of Eric
Mann. Now, the Muddywater Division was part of the CCS.

Entering the Sora Wing of the Capital Building, Yairhoff was presented
with the sight of a busy lobby. People running around in the chaos
of the aftermath of what had just happened. Guards, metal detectors --
this is what he was presented with right away, and a thin layer of a slightly
green, semi-transparent shield separated him from the rest of the lobby.

Approaching a secretary, he smiled at her.
"Yairhoff Haydenn. I have an appointment with human resources."

Everywhere, Agency staff and government aids ran like animals around the expansive wing. At the main desk, several secretaries were answering calls coming in from every which way about the incident on Temar. One finally finished her call and rolled over to the front. "Name please?" she asked him.

"Yairhoff Haydenn. I have an appointment with human resources," he repeated,
flashing his Civilian ID. Of course, all the secretary really needed to do was look up to know
who he was. Had she, shewould have seen that this was Yairhoff Haydenn, before he said
a word. Yairhoff was... well known. To some, he was ahero, for exposing the corruption of Eric Mann.
Others saw him as scum for having followed all the dark orders he gave over the years.

The receptionist looked at the ID Card, and nodded after finding his name on the appointment list. "Go ahead, sir. 3rd door on the left." she said.

"Thank you," he replied kindly,
walking towards one of the main entrances to the lobby from the front
desk. As he reached the large shield which separated the receptionist
area from the grand foyer of the lobby. As he walked up to the scanner,
a small, metal machine, he felt the machine scanning his body before
the transparent, green shield in front of him temporarily faded, just long
enough for him to pass through.

Walking through the familiar grand foyer, he stopped briefly to admire the
logo of the Zarethian Hand painted in a circle upon the ground in the center
of the room. The logo was slightly eclipsed by the shadow of a flag, waving
slightly above it from the draft of the air conditioner unit. It was the Zarethian
Flag. Yairhoff... He had forgotten why he'd joined the Zarethian Hand, all those
years ago. He'd forgotten who he was. A tear came to his eye as he remembered
his ambitions, to protect the Zarethian people, to help them defeat the greatest
of enemies. At the time, he'd thought the enemy he'd be fighting some day would
be the Lorcar.

How wrong he had been.

Turning and approaching a hallway which splintered off from the grand foyer, he
approached the third door on the left in the hallway slowly. He could see a few agents
walking past him in the narrow hallway. He could feel their eyes upon him. Yeah.
It was him. Yairhoff Haydenn. Once Eric Mann's treasured puppet. Now? Now a
nobody... No. That was inaccurate.

Now a Zarethian.

He took a deep breath in before knocking on the doorway before him.

Inside the internal foyer, agents were quick at work. Much like the outside lobby, workers were every which way. However, Yairhoff's presence seems to make some heads turn away from their own work and focus on him, even for the briefest of moments. It wasnt often that a burned agent was seen back inside a secured facility... much less one to get his job back. The hallway was a little less populated, as it housed Human Resources, not many people were sent here.

The Door read "Lt. Commander, Marus Mori. Sr. HR Officer- Teffilin". The door itself was very ordinary, and in uniform with the architecture of the rest of the wing.

"Come in...." a voice called out.

Entering the room cautiously, Yairhoff was immediately greeted with a
strong smell of coffee, and the sight of an office, the office of the Lt.
Commander. Ah, human resources. Somebody had to do it. Yairhoff
had not been so unfortunate to have to visit this office the first time he
did this. He'd been recruited, one of the first spooks of the agency.

Not anymore.

"Yairhoff Haydenn, sir."
