La Reunion Boa Vista (iRP)

[Alley]

"I'll take that one." said Alice.
"Seems to be a very unusual choice, mademoiselle." replied Catherine, her maid.
"It's psychological. I know Aurelia to appear like an iron man, and I need to look more accessible to them." she replied as she was trying out her summer dresses in front of the mirror.
"I don't understand what this will give you."
"Control Catherine, Control. They'll likely see Aurelia as much more difficult to negociate with than me. With simple clothing, they'll think I'm easier to reach. Well atleast it's what I think. So they might think that Aurelia's demands will be worse than mine, which is untrue, but it will be a solid ground to test their loyalty. I'm quite sure Aurelia will understand what I'm doing."
"That's... Uh well. Complicated." said Catherine with a cornered smile.
"Don't worry. It's going to be fine. Now... What do you think about this flower dress with heeled sandals ?" questioned Alice.
"You don't plan to make the whole station fall in love, do you mademoiselle ?"
"I'll take it as a oui." said Alice as she laughed. "Right right... I guess it's time. Merci Catherine."

Alice left her bedroom and made her way to the docking bay while a few envious soldiers looked at her discretely. Once in the docking bay, she walked to the small corridor that was connected to the station and stopped in front of a soldier.

"You know how we planned it. Give it to me." she said, as the soldier handed the strapped holster with a pistol that she attached to her leg secretly under her dress.
"It will be fine." she continued, walking to the door where Victor Cross was waiting on the other side.
