"Oh I'm so sorry! I forget that just because I read Nick's files and learn all about so many different people doesn't mean they know as much about me." *her face scrunches up as she starts to think. Opening her mouth to talk, she is interrupted by the cabin door sliding open, and a pristine white droid marked with the Forlorn Hope logo steps through. It's carrying a tray of drinks, and despite being unarmed, exudes menace as it gently places the tray on the table, and leaves the cabin without a word.*

Sam seems frozen in place as she watches the droid come and go, and the moment the door closes behind it begins to speak again. "I don't even know where to start to tell the truth. I was born on Corfu base, out in Omicron Theta. Mom raised me alone, and always told me about how my dad was a fighter pilot for the Core and couldn't stay with us because it would be too dangerous if he did. I never really worried about it much, since mom always seemed to have money and the one time I asked where it was from cause she didn't really work, I was told it was arranged by my dad long ago." Sam trails off, looking lost in her own thoughts for a short while. A smile creeps back onto her face however.

" You asked about Glendalough Orbital! Oh I remember reading that Nick was paying you at one point concerning its safety. Not that thats a worry now. You should see it! It's gotten several large expansions, and even these dangerous looking defense turrets. It has its own bar, living rooms and even a market for people in the sector to sell their goods in! And those are just the public areas. There are droids like the one who brought us the drinks all over the station, always watching for trouble and keeping people safe. They're combat droids, and what Nick uses in place of humans when they have to board ships and land troops. Theres a foundry on the lower levels that we use to make them." She seems to be extremely proud of what Glen's become, and smiles happily as she takes a breath. Reaching out for a drink, she makes sure to pass one with a slight orange tint to Eliza.

"That ones from Malta. Don't ask me how Nick got it, I don't know, but I do know theres cardamine in it, so I can't have any, but you can! I hope I'm not boring you with all this talk about myself. After all, I'm just Nick's daughter. If you wanted real interesting stories, you'd have to ask him for some. Did you know he lost his arm fighting zombies? Ok, not zombies, but aliens that acted like zombies?"

She leans back happily on the couch, drinking and looking expectantly at Eliza.
