As the NATO, Edwards Air Force Base, and NASA personnel departed, Teresa Li and the others from Heimdall accompanied them to the door. Several members of their extended team were waiting outside, and together the visiting delegation exited the building.
When the last of the outsiders had gone, Teresa returned to the meeting room and sank into her chair with a quiet sigh.
"Dr. Graham," she said, rubbing her temples, "please arrange our internal meeting. I need to finish this before flying back to the Kingdom tonight. There's a mountain of work waiting for me there."
Dr. Drake Graham nodded. "Understood, Miss Li. Take a moment to rest. I'll gather everyone."
