itsananomalyCutter had made arrangements to take his class on a field trip to the ARC, which a couple of weeks ago had seemed like a good idea but now that things were a bit fracture with his team, he wasn't sure if coming back so soon was a good thing.
Cutter had asked Connor to come with him on this trip, mostly so he didn’t feel so awkward around his own Connor since he still wasn’t speaking to him after everything with the future Predator and he was trying to not notice the glares coming in his direction when his Connor was in the same room. Hopefully no one was going to notice these looks.
“So welcome to the Anomaly Research Centre or the ARC,” Cutter began when they stood in front of the Operations Room, behind them was a hallway that led to a row of offices, “this is where we detect anomalies so that we can prevent creatures from either the past or …” he hesitate a bit, changing a glance at his Connor who was pointedly not looking at him, “the future from escaping into our present world and distorting time,”
James Lester arrived then, with Jenny Lewis in tow, “so you’re Cutter’s class and other Connor’s here too, how nice,” Lester sighed, “I’ve been told that it is unnecessary for you to sign the Official Secrets Act to be here but I think it’s fair to say that I trust there will be no photos or videos uploaded to myspace or whatever it is you kids are using today,”
Cutter didn’t see the point in trying to tell Lester that it was 2022 in Fandom and no one used myspace anymore.
“I’m Jenny Lewis, I’m the PR Agent for the ARC,” Jenny spoke up then, “The only area that is off limits today is the weapons locker, for what I hope is fairly self explanatory reasons but the rest of the building is free for you to explore, if you have any questions myself or one of the other team members here will be happy to answer your questions,”
“Before we start the tour,” Cutter continued, “I want to make note that if you happen to see an anomaly,” and it was at this point that he directed the class to an image on the nearby screen, “please do not go through it, you will be stranded in either the past or the future and there is no guarantee that we will be able to rescue you, I would prefer to not have to explain to the school administration that I lost my class somewhere in time on a field trip,”

Re: Explore
Date: 2022-12-10 05:23 pm (UTC)That would likely just lead to Cutter sneaking off and getting into some kind of worse trouble with no one knowing where he was. Not the direction they were trying to get things swinging here.
"Maybe start with Abbey and then see about Jenny? She could help run interference with Leste without letting him know all the details."
