Boots made a short clipping sound that echoed very softly with each step on the smooth hard floor. Of course, soon they would be making no sound at all as Iona took out security guards with the smooth grace of a panther...a bionic panther. Iona had been debating whether or not to break into the booze she'd grabbed from the last heist, and decided to wait until after this one. So instead, as she walked to the bridge, she chewed on a piece of chocolate. It was fancy chocolate, almost as good as the stuff from Morganian.
Oh, how she missed her life there sometimes. The servants who waited on her every desire, the hot boyfriends she could toss anytime she saw someone hotter, the chocolate. Oh, god, the chocolate. It had been a miracle that Iona hadn't been obese at the time of her little accident.
The young woman took her seat, shaking off the longing. This was a better life and she knew it. She had earned her right to be here. She was useful. And she'd gotten to try such a massive variety of sweets that it wasn't worth it to go back to her home planet. She took out the box she'd been carrying, full of chocolate of course, and slid it across the table to Angelo with her metal arm.
"Hello, Captain. I figured that today will be a big one, so the chocolate is for morale," she said after pulling off the mask that covered the lower part of her face. Most of her teeth were a little too white: synthetic; this was obvious whenever she grinned as she was doing now. The originals had been lost in the fire.
