Dinner came around at half seven, the way Dawson had said it would.
The dining room the hotel had put aside for them was large enough that the squad spread out naturally across the tables without too much obstruction.
The hotel had taken the dining assignment seriously, so much so that the players ate well and talked, temporarily forgetting the reason they were in a different country.
That was true, at least until Nolan appeared at the doorway and said, "Conference room when you're done," and the reason came back.
About 20 minutes later, the Wiga players began filtering into the conference room, which had been rearranged to accommodate them.
As they began to sit down, all eyes went to the front where Nolan stood at the projector with one of the hotel's AV staff.
There was a brief technical exchange between them that involved a cable being unplugged and replugged before the projector responded and the room settled.
