Corey felt seven colors of rushed. She'd arrived, and checked in, and when the woman in charge had found out she was a healer, she'd been shuffled off to the medlab.

She'd met the doctors, been kind of terrified of the big blue one - and she'd done a fair job of working over the ones who remained in the lab, some of whom were sleeping or heavily drugged.

Afterward, she'd been set free to explore, and she wound up wandering into the cafeteria.

Not really inclined to sit alone, she looked around for someone else who was by themselves. Spying the slightly older guy, Corey roamed over with her tray. "Do you mind?" she inquired, gesturing to the seat across from him.

He was a bit startled when he heard the voice, and looked up, mouth hanging open slightly for a moment before he closed it. Then, he cleared his throat and again tried to look like he belonged.

"Sure, yeah," he said, gesturing to the seat that she had already gestured to. He regarded her curiously for a moment. Part of him was tempted to further solidify that he knew what he was doing by asking if she was new, but if she wasn't new... it wouldn't work out well. So he took another sip of his coffee, noted her somewhat rushed demeanour, and asked sympathetically, "Long day?"

Corey kind of grinned, then shook her head. "I don't ... know. I showed up ... I guess a few hours ago, and after I checked in I got shuffled off to the medlab to help with healing. I guess ... I guess there was some big attack, or kidnapping or something today, and a few people are really ..." she trailed off.

"Hi, my name is Corey and I like to spill irrelevant facts to complete strangers."

She figured it must have been a long day if she was already spouting off she was a healer. She may as well have introduced herself as a guardian and a hellbeast while she was at it.

He nodded slowly, a small smile on his face. He wasn't entirely sure what to make of that.

"Booth," he said when she introduced herself. "Special Agent Seeley Booth," and then he wondered if he should be using his full title here. But surely the government knew who they'd pulled into their little bubbly experiment? Why shouldn't he be allowed to brag?

He was starting to regret not paying closer attention to the missives on the desk in his room. There'd been an attack simulation today? He nodded his head slowly. "Everything's okay now though, right? You got everything... squared away?" he frowned. She'd just arrived? "With help, right?"
