Strike #14 // [Video] // Backdated to the 11th

[solittleeffort]

[The video feed kicks on and reveals Maia, looking oddly calm for someone who has just come back from the dead. Rather than the standard clothing adorned with Precursor armour, Maia is wearing some of the more casual clothing she got from the bazaar several weeks ago

[Oh, someone died again... Actually that might explain something odd Roll found in her room so here Maia, have a brief thirty second video of your boots in a room that is insanely clean looking. At least looks that way from what is shown. And Roll speaks off camera.]

Yours, ma'am?

[Audio]

[solittleeffort]

Deck 5, Room 8340. [Yeah, those are hers, Roll. However, you aren't getting much else out of her.

Maia is not a social woman, unless it involves talking about Dark Eco or hurting Phoenix. So, anyone with her clothing can just drop it off and get the hell away from her, as far as she's concerned.]

[Audio]

[kazeyotsutaete]

Oh, down the hall then. [And click off goes the audio.

Maia not be social but she'll be waiting about ten minutes, Roll wasn't all that tidy when she replied so the little robot girl cleaned herself up (and maybe Maia's boots if they weren't clean before they're fucking sparkling now).

And after the ten minutes Maia will hear a polite knock on her door.]

[Audio]

[solittleeffort]

[And once she hears that knock on her door, Maia takes no time to open it up and look down at Roll expectantly.]

My boots?

[ecopiracy]

[Phoenix's voice is dripping with false sincerity. He's figured out that Maia died from Harley's comment to him earlier, and he's not repentant at all.]

Oh dear. Did you lose something, Maia?

[solittleeffort]

[Oh, good. Just the man she wanted to hear from.]

It's a matter that will be solved very quickly, I can assure you.

[Locked to Phoenix, 90% Unhackable]
However, I'm curious - how is Anna faring? And those other women of yours, Odette and Ashelin? I do hope they're all feeling well.

It would be just awful if something were to happen to them, after all.

[ecopiracy]

[Phoenix's voice is taunting. He wants her to think he has it.]

That's only assuming whoever has what you lost is willing to give it back.

[Locked to Maia, 69% unhackable]

Really, now, Maia. Didn't you learn anything the last time you threatened someone I care about?

[solittleeffort]

[Phoenix, you dick.]

Everyone has their weaknesses. All it takes is finding the most appropriate method of persuasion.

[Locked to Phoenix, Unhackable]

Mm. Perhaps I need another lesson, then. [She just sounds amused, now. Ah, the joys of sarcastic banter.]

[alittlegreedy]

Died again?

[solittleeffort]

[Maia really doesn't want to deal with you right now, Greed.]

Whatever it is of mine you still have, keep it. I have more important things to deal with right now. [Like killing Phoenix and finding out who stole her notes.

Maia's armour is important to her, but fuck it, she is not in the mood for this.]

[alittlegreedy]

[U-Unfortunately, he doesn't really care if she is or not...]

Great.♪

[solittleeffort]

[And so, Maia clicks off her communicator. Not in the mood to deal with such dickery, at the moment.]
