Beauty Is...After the Day 1 Shooting.
In reply to Ledo Typhin (msg # 79):
Does the open comm apply to BB and Nero as well?
Siena shrugs. "I could point out that as far as hacking goes, you guys hacked our loaner shuttle earlier today now didn't you? So I could say tonight is just payback and upping you one. But really that's not it."
She reaches in to a coat and brings out another cigarette. "See, I convinced the higher ups that we needed to dispense with the cat and mouse bullshit and just make direct contact. That's what this is about. We wanted to get your attention. You're ex-military. You know the best way to do that is give a shot across the bow, right?"
She lights her cigarette.
"You guys have come up on a lot of lists lately. And I mean a lot. Pretty sure you guys were involved in that auction robbery back in Three Sisters. And then there's Wyltz. You guys were hanging out with one of the terrorist leaders. That chippy from the band. Not to mention that," She gestures at Silver, "Her brother is suspected of supplying the arms and security intel the terrorists used. And now you're transporting some interesting people.
"Oh. And that hack on the car today. That was very, very well done. Was that your engineer? He's good. Someone that good just now getting noticed. That's even more surprising."
Seina waves a hand. "Now I want to say you guys are just some shmoes with really bad luck. That's kind of how you vibe to me. But let's be honest. Is anyone really that unlucky?"
She shrugs. "You tell me."
