[i]This has to be a fucking joke,[/i] Ashei thought, turning to face the blue hologram. She stood up, holstering her weapon. She almost went as far as to tell Roman to put his weapon down, as there was no point trying to shoot at a hologram, but Ashei decided against it. Ashei caught a bitter glance from Sienn; as much as Ashei related to the asari's anger, she kept a stoic face. She shook her head slightly at Sienn, as if to express her own shared disapproval of the situation.

The situation being that one of Ashei's proposed possibilities had come true and that this was just a test. At the very least, it was a test insofar as this person really was their employer, and they weren't being double-crossed. Or would it be triple-crossed at this point? In any case, at face value this whole situation appeared to be a test, and Ashei did not like that. She was promised a lot of credits, but not nearly enough to work for an employer that seemingly had litle value for their employees' lives.

Ashei watched as Sienn began to walk away and had half a mind to follow her out the door. However, there was [i]still[/i] the promise of credits, and Ashei found that enticing. Nothing had killed her yet, and Ashei doubted anything could get her killed now.

"Wait. Before anyone walks out, I want to hear what our 'employer' has to say. We were called here for a reason," Ashei said, turning between Sienn and the hologram. In a sense, she was speaking to both of them, simultaneously trying to convince Sienn to stick around for a bit as well as prompting their employer to explain.
