"Thanks," she says quietly and follows the path Star took down the corridor. She wasn't going to let the woman go into a situation without back up. She enters just as Scylla said her speech."Depends on what you call futile Scylla, we aren't interested in the weapons or this facility persae as you probably well know." she considered the AI thoughtfully. "We never were interested in those items. You probably heard me before the fighting broke out, was I lying?" she said, smiling a little, though it was humourless. "Perhaps we could trade information of equal value," she asked. "I never wanted this to happen, I was willing to pay for it or trade for it." she told the AI honestly. "And what I said about Barrington was true. If he does succeed in his plans, his first objective will be to wipe out any would be rivals. Since you built a weapon for him, the Foundry would be the first logical choice to wipe out. Why would you care about what happens to a bunch of meat sacks anyway? Telling us about the weapon he had you build will cost you nothing, in fact if we succeed in wiping him our or he succeeds in wiping us out, or we wipe each other out, you win without expending any undue effort at all." She said quietly and again honestly, knowing that the artificial intelligence could discern whether or not she was lying through voice analysis or whatever. She was also trying to distract Scylla from whatever Optic was doing.Hope looked at the woman and smiled. "We don't work for the Freedom League Scylla. If we do succeed where they fail, that will embaress them greatly, especially since Barrington stomped them flat. That's also a win," she held out her hands in a geasture of 'supplication'. "You loose nothing Scylla and have everything to gain from giving us the information we seek. Why waste undue energy in helping someone like Barrington?"</blockquote>
