Meeting Ala Steward was like meeting the president of a country. She now had her own office, for one and a secretary! It was, quite hilarious. Just as it was hilarious that her office was now the biggest room in the lab building.
Ala had argued that she needed the square footage because she had too much stuff and no one dared to say otherwise. They didn't even ask what 'stuff' it was!
She had private security on her floor, six-armed superhumans that were paid for by the Quinns and six mutant ant sized robots that patrolled the building and floor in turns.
The security on her door was terrifying_ layers of body part scanners, retinal checks, and a voice-recognition system that seemed to judge you based on your tone. If you were nervous, you needed to explain yourself.
Sunshine made it through all the checks. The moment she entered the office; Ala slammed a button on her desk. "Ariel, close the blinds! Sweep for bugs! Total blackout mode!"
