Nara went "Bleeurg!" and leapt away from Maxwell. She fell sideways in her chair and slid out of her seat, thudding on her back on the floor.
Adam's eyes widened. He didn't offer his paw, but he looked down at her with worry. "Hey, you alright, Officer Sumas?"
Flustered, Nara pulled herself to her feet, and slunk upward into her chair. "It's nothing," she said. She looked at Maxwell. "You just startled me, Maxwell. That's all. I had the most uneasy, uncanny feeling I was being watched, and I suppose I--ah, spaced out a little." She shook her head, making her ears thud. "You know how it goes, I presume. You just get that feeling up your spine. I certainly hope it wasn't Prometheus. I'm not familiar with them, so I don't know if that's within their scope or not."
Tobias sighed at Weber. "Yeah... I suppose you're right," he acknowledged. "I mean, I never worked directly with the guy, I just... Still. We're good here, but, c'mon. Our forces are still a little... weak. We could still use some epic backup. Even if we do get Nara's precinct working on this--and manage NOT to get arrested; well, you guys, anyway--I mean, this is an entire COMPANY. You either need to be some crazy good lawyer, or have a task force the size of the army of a small European country. You really think we can pull it off?"
"Pssh," Adam said. "You guys don't need an army. You have me."
Nara rolled her eyes.
Adam looked offended. "What? For once, I was kidding?"
Tobias followed Nara's example, but he was grinning all the same. He looked at Karin. "Hey, Karin, you OK? You haven't said much."

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!
I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!
