"Hard to find out about relatives you didn't know existed," Tereza says quietly, adding in her own bit of commentary.

"Believe me, I wasn't expecting a grown-ass woman to show up either, but I guess I'm not that surprised."

"I don't know why he thought I'd make a good mother, but I guess it worked out. Biggest thing was he damned sure didn't want her growing up to be like him."

"Well that joke's on him then, although he didn't really have much choice there." she says, clenching her fist to snap out her blades for a moment. "But that's not why we're here. Seems like the arms race didn't stop with the Cold War and she's the result. I'm just here cause I know what it's like to want answers."

"Fine," she says, paying the bartender and going to the counter to cash out her chips. After tucking the money away, she heads for the elevator of the attached hotel.

"If either of you is going to try to murder me, elevators are fun for that," she smirks to them.

"So she said when I bumped into her. But that reunion was a little rushed thanks to work responsibilities. So, I'm personally hoping you know a bit more about how to get in touch with her than I do. Because I have all sorts of questions."

"...these kinds of programs are like cockroaches," she sighs, looking out into the hallway as the elevator chimes and the doors open.

There's a couple of large men in suits milling around in the hallway near one of the doors to the rooms.


"Shit," she grumbles.

"How much time do you have to listen?" The air immediately around Tereza cools considerably and some of her metal rails in the elevator fog over. "Because it involves some crazy-sounding shit."
