At 9:00 a.m. sharp, a small team of soldiers arrived at the conference room's main entrance to secure the area. Several reporters hurried over as well.
Just then, Jason and Austin walked over from down the hall.
Jason glanced at the scientists waiting eagerly at the door. Frowning slightly, he said, "Let's head inside first. We'll start the meeting right away. The preparations for the planetary landing are critical, and I can't make these decisions alone. We can discuss everything in there."
The science team leaders were taken aback. They exchanged glances, realizing their plan to intercept Jason had failed. As staunch supporters of the Super Hadron Collider project, they had hoped to personally persuade Jason. Instead, they were shut down before they could even start.
