The information broker

[Xing]

Something in the eyes of Isabelle twitched as she was remembered of her past, but she did not flinch.

"hm." was the only thing she answered.
She then turned toward Mirage, her face as unemotional as always.
"I do not exactly hold a strong hatred toward you. Maybe you are an illusionned freedom fighter who truly believes in your cause. This doesn't matter."
"Persisting on saying Liberty is infested with nomads is utterly ridiculous. You know very well I am not infested. They know as well. A mere corporal scan would reveal a nomad symbiot within me rather easily, as you should know."
"As such, I believe you should stop using your little ploys. You are in the middle of Liberty space. Wants it or not, we are in the advantage here. This is our home planet. My squadrons are ready to support."
She turned her head slightly toward the information dealer,
"And despite me having shown you their profile, I doubt you'd learn anything more under their refractive cloacking armour. And your assumption I've never been in a losing situation is also mistaken. I have......."
"....learned to live with my failures. I still carry my burdens."

She turned her attention back to Mira.
"For the moment, your best chance will be coming to an agreement as to your very survival in hostile space."
