If you could travel through time, what's the first thing you would do?
When you became part of the Continuum, you became part of something far bigger than yourself. The very fabric of the universe was revealed to you and it seemed like everything changed.
It's weird. You don't remember anything of your initiation. From what Landshoff - your mentor and nominal leader of the of the Corner - has told you, it's because it's rather unpleasant. Learning how to Span to the point that it comes as naturally as walking is probably something you don't want to remember. Your memory goes up to being Invited, of seeing that the Continuum wasn't joking (probably by talking with an Elder), and then waking up.
Despite all the changes, you still go to work every day. Landshoff says it's because it builds discipline and helps you keep track of Level time. Plus, it keeps it from being obvious that something happened.
One of the first things you learned was how to set up meeting times. If you thought that getting people together normally is hard, it's much harder when those people might not even be in the Level!
The date is February 11, 2006. It's a Sunday, just shy of 11 AM. Every Sunday is your Corner's meeting time. The first meeting was January 7th, so it's been a month of Level time, though the subjective time has been more or less than that. Landshoff's house has been the meeting place for every meeting so far - he has a hidden room with no windows or doors, which isn't much of a barrier when you can Span. The house itself is a small little nondescript house in the suburbs of New York, not far from the city.
You haven't really been doing all that much out of the ordinary so far. Landshoff said he wanted you to get used to Spanning first, but you have a feeling that this meeting will be different.

You arrive within seconds of 11AM at Landshoff's meeting room. The room itself is pretty comfortable - lots of deep couches, a few color-coded fridges with drinks and snacks, indirect lighting, off-white textured wallpaper with an intricate design, and a large, low table in the center of the room.
Landshoff is already seated and he has 4 manila folders in front of him. He smiles when you Span in.
Landshoff is a big man. Lots of muscles and a few scars on his face. He mostly wears loose-fitting clothing. Today it's khakis and a loose black t-shirt. He always speaks in a low-voice and is always polite, though you detect some iron before the tone.
"Come in everybody! Today is quite the red-letter day."
