[b]Maya - Hallway - Bart, Stranger (aka Angelo)[/b]

Maya hid behind Bart as a man started talking. He was definitely a stranger. He wasn't crazy like the splicers. Not yet anyway. Then he spoke of coming on a submarine. Was the welcome center still operational? She hadn't really thought to look since that place was pretty much picked clean.
Then he said something that really got her attention. He was an engineer! He could fix Bart! She didn't have to lose him!

Forgetting to be careful in her excitement at the thought of Bart being fixed.
"You can fix him?!" she exclaimed hopefully.
Bart, being the protective Big Daddy that he was, moved his drill in front of her, daring the man to try and approach.
"It's okay Bart," she said, patting his arm above the drill. "It's okay. He can help us."
The thing seemed to think about her words. Her gentle calm tone help calm him down as well. He slowly lowered the drill, but still seemed weary of the stranger before them. If he so much as tried to touch Maya the Big Daddy would not hesitate to kill him.

"I'm Maya," she told the dark haired man carefully, still not going any closer to protect herself and him.
