"Right. Works for me." He settles in across from Benedict, shuffling a few papers to reorder them. "Well. First is most straightforward and probably most direct; we've had a few new native recruits and a couple of rifters in the past couple of months. Have you had a chance to get a feel for any of them so far? How they're settling in?"

It's a fairly normal question for Julius to lead with, and probably not a surprise. He and Benedict have had to do some backtracking previously to cover the time real Benedict was absently. Now, though, he knows of at least Ness and Abella recently through the rifts. Herian hasn't been back so long, either, and Caius is also a relatively new face.
