Sam replayed the message from Woosley once more, hardly believing it. Maxine Pace was no longer the IOA liaison, yet she was staying in the city while she continued to work on her projects? What in the hell was going on?
Shaking her head, she decided that it was very definitely time to have that talk with her. If she was staying on Atlantis, then they definitely needed to come to an understanding about things.
Plus she really wanted to know why Woosley had fired her. When he had informed Sam that Doctor Pace was coming, he had been so pleased with himself. More than pleased. Smug. He had seemed so certain that he was going to win...whatever this war that he thought he was waging.
She was just about to call down to ask Max to come up for a talk when there was suddenly a knock on her door. Looking up, she saw that it was Max. And she was asking to talk to her.
"Come on in," she told her, pointing to one of the chairs across from her desk. Getting up, she circled around and sat in the other chair. "I was just getting ready to call you. I got a message from Richard Woosley this morning, and it was...perplexing to say the least. Can you tell me what happened?"
