She reached her hand out for a moment, but then they opened automatically. She still wasn't quite used to that, as not many places in Fiore were built using the technology Talaz Lagaar had. Hesitantly, she walked on through and approached the front desk. A secretary was already seated there, which made Atani hopeful someone-- scientists, researchers, whoever-- were working already too.
"Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to speak with someone who works here?" Atani asked.
"Do you have an appointment?" the secretary asked in return.
"Well no, but- "
"I'm sorry, our staff is very busy with the epidemic. Without an appointment, you won't be able to see anyone."
"Not anyone? Please, I work in the medical field and- "
"I'm sorry, no exceptions."
It seemed the secretary wouldn't budge. In a place like Talaz Lagaar, Atani couldn't use her reputation to pull some strings like she could in Fiore.
