Re: IC-Abigail, Maria, Lorna, and open.
Alexander thanked Finn for his contribution, and dismissed his apology as unnecessary with a wave of his hand. "No, no, you do what you've gotta do."
When Abigail stood in his place, Alexander paused to wait on her, and then nodded for her to come forward. "You'll be fine, the barrier protects the speaker from harm," he explained, not just to let her know she could cross it, but also to reassure her that no one could hurt her while she was standing there.
He let everyone speak, while he mentally tried to go back through previous meetings and compile a more useful mental list for her.
"I know there have also been volunteers from past meetings. Off the top of my head, Dr Redel, one of our Dr O'Haras. I can check through the minutes and compile a list for you. Some were not suitable at the time, but perhaps if they are willing to consider the training Miss Barton-Stark has offered, that could change," he nodded, glancing to Liberty who he knew would already be making a note of that required information.
