OOC: I'm assuming--based on something that has to happen later--that there are generic "mook" CH guards inside the room at the doors; Brooke is serving as one of them at the moment.
Oh gosh. I just realized. Muhuhahahaha. Oh gosh, Brooke's life is about to get complicated.

InAki nodded respectfully, and looked around the room.
Let's see...ah, yes, that would make sense. And...mmhmm
...VERY interesting...one to keep in mind. InAki felt Aki's familiar prodding, and allowed him to take control seamlessly. "There is nothing to forgive. The circumstances that led to my being here were...
unusual, to put it kindly--" at this, Aki glared venomously at Sonia, before returning his attention to Neo "--and so I cannot expect the circumstances of the meeting itself to be any different. It is I who must ask your forgiveness, Sir, for my knowledge of protocol is...somewhat limited. I'm afraid circumstances beyond my control prevented my taking the time to learn such things before my infiltration of the Chosen Ones. So please forgive me for having to ask--how would you prefer that I address you?" As he talked, Aki took note of everything about the room--exits, potential exits, the ideal and likely exit strategies of his fellow Guardians, and, more importantly, exit strategies for Brooke. He could not afford to turn and look at the girl, but his senses registered an unusual degree of fear--whether from what she had seen at A.I.M.S. or from the obvious power contained within the room, he could not know, but for his purposes it would serve him well.
