Reception
was
a
circular
,
warmly
lit
area
with
banks
of
seats
and
low
tables
set
at
the
cardinal
compass
points
.
There
were
small
groups
of
people
seated
north
and
east
,
conversing
in
low
tones
.
In
the
centre
was
a
circular
desk
where
a
receptionist
sat
behind
a
battery
of
secretarial
equipment
.
No
artificial
constructs
here
;
this
was
a
real
human
being
,
a
slim
young
man
barely
out
of
his
teens
who
looked
up
with
intelligent
eyes
as
we
approached
.
"
You
can
go
right
through
,
Ms
.
Prescott
.
The
Director
’
s
office
is
up
the
stairs
and
third
door
on
your
right
.
"
"
Thank
you
.
"
Prescott
took
the
lead
again
,
turning
back
briefly
to
mutter
as
soon
as
we
were
out
of
earshot
of
the
receptionist
,
"
Nyman
’
s
a
bit
impressed
with
himself
since
this
place
was
built
,
but
he
’
s
basically
a
good
person
.
Try
not
to
let
him
irritate
you
.
"
"
Sure
.
"
We
followed
the
receptionist
’
s
instructions
until
,
outside
the
aforementioned
door
I
had
to
stop
and
suppress
a
snigger
.
Nyman
’
s
door
,
no
doubt
in
the
best
possible
Earth
taste
,
was
pure
mirrorwood
from
top
to
bottom
.
After
the
high
-
profile
security
system
and
flesh
and
blood
reception
,
it
seemed
about
as
subtle
as
the
vaginal
spittoons
at
Madame
Mi
’
s
Wharfwhore
Warehouse
.
My
amusement
must
have
been
evident
because
Prescott
gave
me
a
frown
as
she
knocked
on
the
door
.
"
Come
.
"
Sleep
had
done
wonders
for
the
interface
between
my
mind
and
my
new
sleeve
.
Composing
my
rented
features
,
I
followed
Prescott
into
the
room
.
Nyman
was
at
his
desk
,
ostensibly
working
at
a
grey
and
green
coloured
holodisplay
.
He
was
a
thin
,
serious
-
looking
man
who
affected
steel
-
rimmed
external
eyelenses
to
go
with
his
expensively
cut
black
suit
and
short
,
tidy
hair
.
His
expression
,
behind
the
lenses
,
was
slightly
resentful
.
He
’
d
not
been
happy
when
Prescott
phoned
him
from
the
cab
to
say
we
would
be
delayed
,
but
Bancroft
had
obviously
been
in
touch
with
him
because
he
accepted
the
later
appointment
time
with
the
stiff
acquiescence
of
a
disciplined
child
.
