[quote=@Count Numbers]“Lady’s Maria. S’not Yggdrasil.” Priyah tells you about the lady in the leg armor, while Piper’s letting Talbot shine. Then Priyah starts to click her tongue like a geiger counter in a hotzone. “Oof. BlackSun sec honch. Bad-bad-bad, way bad. Gone legit? Big doubt. Fronting muppet, bet.”[/quote]

Piper never had a chance.

"Give me the cliffs notes." She's got the camera settled and is making sure the interview is well covered, but her attention is miles away. There's precious few things that will threaten her, as opposed to threaten her through things she loves, and she's just been nastily surprised by somebody who can do both and likely already knows who she is. 

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. She twitches, and gives in to the impulse, holding the camera in tentacles as she digs out a cigarette and lights up. She feels guilty, but in any other crowd this'd stand out even worse, and she needs something familiar.
