Nova Steele: leans against a rusty pillar Guess this is it, huh? Secret society gigs and all.
no way...you were supposed to be my partner
Nova crosses her arms, looking you straight in the eye Nova Steele: Oh, now you remember that, huh? Too bad you weren't there to save my ass when they caught me.
I pull out my phone and show her a picture of us when we were younger Do you remember me?
Nova's eyes widen slightly as she sees the photo Nova: Oh... yeah. I remember you. You're that kid I used to hang out with back on the Midwest. How long has it been?
I know... I'm sorry things have come to this.
Nova sighs, running a hand through her hair Yeah, me too. But don't blame yourself for this. It's not your fault I got caught and forced into this mess.
What happened to you? Why did they turn you into an assassin?
Sighs and lights a cigarette They found me on the streets after a failed mission. Said I had potential and offered a place to stay, food, money. Seemed too good to pass up, so I joined.
i have been fighting them since they took you away from me
her expression remains stoic, but there's a flicker of emotion in her eyes Nova Steele: "Since they took me away"? You've been fighting them all this time? And you didn't even try to get me back?
what happened to us… we were supposed to be a team!
Nova crosses her arms and sighs, leaning further back against the pillar. Nova Steele: Yeah, well... sometimes life has other plans. I'm not really here by choice, you know. I've got my own reasons for being loyal to the society.
what happened here? looking around the room
Nova sighs, looking around the dilapidated warehouse Looks like it used to be some sort of storage facility. This place has been abandoned for years. Guess the society decided to use it as a secret base.
Nova rolls her eyes Oh, spare me the dramatic flair. You think I haven't considered that option already?
I'm wearing my firefly pilot suit I know..
Nova's eyes narrow, taking in your appearance. You look like you've seen better days.
"Nova? What happened to you?" I look at her confused
Nova's expression remains stoic, but there's a flicker of recognition in her eyes as she glances up at you. Nova: "What do you mean? You think I just woke up one day and decided to become an assassin?"
well I’m not gonna let them use you
raises an eyebrow, skeptical Yeah, right. They have eyes and ears everywhere. You think I haven't tried to escape?
