Thomas reached up and pinched his nose-bridge before rubbing it as everyone slowly began departing from the cafeteria towards the next designated meeting spot. "I doubt it, I'm sure we'll manage to do fine with the bunch we currently have. Though it would certainly make it the more the merrier. Let's hope the remaining stragglers, if there are any, have a good excuse." he says looking at Tide before watching him depart as well. He gives the remaining occupants another stern look before turning towards the coffee machine and stating "I'll be with you once I've had my Coffee." with a dismissive wave of his hand.

As he begins to prepare his coffee his thoughts shoot at the first officer. She was late, with the excuse being her long trek. She seemed fairly young, probably not much younger then him though but that thought could have been caused by her seemingly up-beat and kind aura. Which of course didn't make her any less respectable, kind people were the scariest when angered from what he had gathered. Although he did have his doubts, he still didn't know anything about anyone except from the first impressions and the little information he managed to pick out in the conversations. Hopefully everyone would be able to get along one way or another.
