[center][b][i]The More the Merrier!

A collaboration between Shadow and Ginger

Summary: Yanmei is sent off again, just a few minutes before the meeting, to meet another new transfer to the Shatterdome. The Marshall is about to tell everyone what it is their doing here.[/i][/b][/center]

Samuel Bute was sitting on the helicopter, watching the sea go by beneath them. This was it. Sam was finally going to be able to fight for the good guys. For the good purpose. When he looked outside again, the shatterdome was in view. It was immense and kind of intimidating to Sam. About two minutes later the helicopter had touched down and Sam was asked to exit. A man on the deck walked up and asked him who he was. "Im uhhh, Im a transfer." He said, nervously.


Back in the training room, Yanmei was standing in the middle of the room, arms crossed, waiting for Mako or the Marshall to quit their whispering and get on with the meeting. She watched as someone she didn't reckogninze came up and spoke to Mako, the three suddenly leaving the room. Sighing to herself, she closed her eyes, pinching the bridge of her nose as she felt a headache coming on. Patience wasn't her thing... and neither was waiting for people who were late. 

[b]"Jade, come here a minute."[/b] she heard the voice of the Marshall calling to her, and it brought her eyes over to where they had entered the room again. Rolling her eyes and uncrossing her arms, Yanmei would walk up to the three and raise her brow. [color=pink]"What is it? You're not going to call off the meeting are you?"[/color]

[b]"No, nothing like that."[/b] he said shaking his head. [b]"Postponing it for a few more minutes. This guy here says someone's here. Another transfer. I need you to go get him. ...It was a guy right?"[/b] he looked to the worker who nodded. 

[color=pink]"Aw, why do I have to do it?"[/color] she complained, though she had already turned and started walking in the direction of the elevator. [b]"Because I asked you to. Now hurry up so we can get thing started."[/b] he added with a laugh, causing Yanmei to send him a pouty face over her shoulder. She sighed again when she reached the elevator. It couldn't be helped. Guess this guy would have to wait for the grand tour until the meeting was over.

Yanmei hummed to herself the short ride up to the top floor where the airfield was, only pausing once some members of the research division came in as she was leaving. Looking around, she walked towards the entrance to see a man standing with a duffel all alone. Walking up to him, she waved and smiled.

[color=pink]"Hey, are you the transfer?"[/color] she asked, not wanting to make any assumptions.

Sams attention was quickly turned to a women talking to him, asking if he was a transfer. "Uhm, yeah I think so." He said, turning around and walking up to her. "I mean, thats what Ive been told." He added,  then extending a hand. "Samuel Bute, boxer." He introduced.

Reaching out to shake his hand, Yanmei returned the introduction. [color=pink]"Nice to meet you. I'm Yanmei Long... but please call me Jade. I'm a Ranger and thats about it. Though ah... I'm kinda on time out due to an unfortunate event. Come on, we have a meeting starting soon."[/color] Shifting the hold on his hand to his wrist, Yanmei would start to pull Sam toward the elevator. She was in a hurry and wanted to get back soon so things could finally start. 

"Uhm... meeting?" Sam asked, following Yanmei as he was being dragged to an elevator of some sort. "Im sorry, Im really confused, whats going on here again?" He asked as they reached the elevator, still a bit overwhelmed from everything.

[color=pink]"Well of course you're confused. You came in late and kind of missed everything. Though dont worry, the meeting is just about why you were chosen to transfer and such."[/color] she said as they stepped into the elevator. Pushing the button to return to the training room floor, she would cross her arms. [color=pink]"Truth is, apparently its supposed to be a half meeting and half training session. That's all I can tell you for now."[/color] 

Her hand extended out of the elevator when it opened again, in a gesture for him to exit first. [color=pink]"Take a right and keep walking until you see a large room with some people standing around."[/color] she instructed him, waiting for him to leave the elevator.

Sam peeked out and then pointed what she said with his hand. "Take a right..." He paraphrased, putting his hand out and swooping it to the right. "And keep walking..." He said. This was it. This next step meant he was really going to do it. Sam took a deep breath before stepping out and going exactly where she said. "Thank you, Yanmei." He said, turning to the woman before walking again. Sam wasnt quite sure what to do when he got their but he decided to not say anything unless spoken to. When he found the room that kind of matched Yanmeis description, he cautiously opened the door, peeked in, and then shuffled his way in.

[color=pink]"Wrong room."[/color] she said laughing as she walked past him. Only a few more steps was where the training area was. Technically it wasn't a room since there were no doors. Waving Sam over, she pointed to the ground. [color=pink]"Just leave your things here."[/color]

Jogging over to Mako and Raleigh, Yamnei purposely squeezed herself between the two, causing  both of them to awkwardly move away. [color=pink]"I got him. So... We gonna get started here or not?"[/color] she asked, mostly to the Marshall. Running a hand through his hair, he would nod. [b]"Yeah. Some people haven't arrived but it cant be helped. They'll just be a little late."[/b]

Sam urked in embarassment and slowly crept back out of the room awkwardly, quickly following behind Jade. With his face now flushed red from embarrasment, Sam dropped his bag where Yanmei said and then found a secluded spot, trying not to gain the attention of the others.

Yanmei's eyes followed Sam as he moved to a different corner of the room, away from everyone else. Smiling slightly, she knew it was only a matter of time before he was drawn into some sort of conversation. Once the Marshall and Mako started to move towards the center of the room, she stood alone quietly and waited for them to say something. She caught the Marshall's eyes and he gestured with his head for her to come over. Pushing off the wall, she was wary as she stepped up to him, standing on his opposite side that Mako was.

[b]"Alright, I think it's best we get on with this meeting, with or without the others."[/b] he said, his voice loud enough to be heard in the whole room. Yanmei noticed some other people, workers and trainees, had started to gather in the few moments she had been back. Suddenly standing there with Mako and Raleigh made her feel awkward and small.

[b]"I guess I'll start with why I asked you guys to come here...."[/b]
