In some deep cavern, a meeting is being held. There, a circular stone table is in the middle of the room with masked figures sitting around it.
On the center of the stone table is a communication device that can bring out the image of the leader of the group there while the leader is somewhere else.
Some chairs also hold a device that connects to a faraway place and bring out the image of the participant of the meeting while sitting out somewhere else.
One of the masked figures, who is physically present, says to the group "This meeting was called for so that we can hear the progress of each of our projects. Unfortunately, the Biologist has been dead for quite some time now and his last project, Them, has also been dealt with. We have yet to find a suitable candidate to replace the Biologist, so that is why his seat is absent.
