14th Freeport, 4th Floor, Sector B-E Meeting

Liss surprised Goro's sudden curiosity but tried to relax once again while she was preparing one long answer. For sure Liss is kinda nervous, but happy in same time.

"If they weren't friendly, then I wouldn't be sitting beside you right now, Goro. The Nomad War is our fault or so they say, but I believe it. Harass or disturb something and this something will defend itself. I am talking about the Rheinland expedition back then, Goro, I have tried to search a bit with Guardians help."

Liss let out a loud sigh as she remembered one not so pleasant moment, slowly let her arms wrap around him and pulled him into hug. Her head resting on his chest as she continues.

"People are stupid, maybe I am but look at the nature itself. I've never seen tigers on Gaia killing each other, nor same kind of birds and Nomads are similar. They are just in defensive mod right now, people harmed so they are aggresive. I like them, they are a true picture of nature, creatures living in harmony and peace untill someuone disturbs them. Maybe it's just Cardamine why they are so friendly, but I take them as my friends."

"No step on Snek..."

The Hacker wanted to tell her about his true affiliation but he couldn't. It was too risky, and Leslie was still in danger. But his decision did not burden him; he had long accepted this sacrifice.

"Much like what some Outcasts would say, my dear." He simply said.

"Your judgment was correct in coming to me. You should be extremely careful with anyone who has any sort of ties with the Büro. I cannot tell you to not trust no one, but the fewer people from your past you trust, the better." His mind was racing, comparing the options, weighing the situations and calculating the outcomes. Eventually his cardamine-enhanced mind had reached a conclusion.

"I have a suggestion for you. A place hidden from the eyes of your enemies. A worthy cause to fight for. And... a way to meet you frequently." He paused for a moment to gain Leslie's full attention.

"I have contacts inside the Sisterhood of Dreams. It's an honorable organization which is extremely difficult to infiltrate and fights for what is right in Kusari. They are cardamine consumers and they frequently visit Leiden for supplies. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it, Leslie."

Smiling kindly, she was listening to him carefuly with full attention and arms crossed on her chest.

"I trust only you and another guy from Reapers, others mean nothing to me, dear. I like you and you know it, because you are somehow better than others and more uhhhm, special! Si, special it is."

Liss chuckled silently as her cheeks's turned red once again. Liss however tried to remain serious while talking to him, because he didn't seem to be so playful or childish at all. His offer though, raised her curiosity once again.

"Sisterhood of Dreams, it's branch of Golden Chrysanthemums, si? Cardamine users fighting for better Kusari... Si must be GC's. Well, it sounds fine, mainly part about frequent meetings. I want to stay close to you, why? You should know better, you are a Hacker."

[Yoshida]

Yoshida chuckled; he was not used in being flattered. Inside Lane Hacker ranks, the competition and ruthlessness do not leave much room for such things.

"I thought you understood the importance of being close to someone you can trust." A moment later he enigmatically added. "And for one more reason..."

The Hacker's hand slipped into his pocket which came out holding a holodisc. Then he clicked some buttons on it and the holodisc produced an image of a ship.

"Our latest technological innovation. The best space superiority fighter ever conceived by human brain and possesses tremendous capabilities as it combines Lane Hacker, Ageira and Outcast technology. Unlike some of our former technological releases, we intend to strictly keep it among ourselves. I can arrange to have this piece of art as soon as it is released my dear. That would increase your survivability and allow you to periodically visit Leiden for maintainance."

Liss was still carefuly watching Goro's reactions, pretty much enjoying all of this.

"I understand it very well, why do you think I've been trying to meet you so eagerly? Nobody remains in my life now. Do not leave me please? "

Liss smiled and silently nodded. She was kinda surprised as he showed her unknown ship, probably new Hacker Fighter.

"So, this is one of your new fighters? Or just a concept / Project? I feel kinda honored right now, dear. Gracias I suppose, though dunno if I am happier because I will get this ship or because I will see you again soon."
Liss grinned and softly stroked hair behind her ear, still smilling.

"No, no. I am not leaving." His eyes briefly wandered over Leslie.

"It is no concept my dear. As soon as the exterior of the ship receives the proper outfit, it will be scheduled for construction... Anyway why don't we have a walk?" He softly said and offered his hand.

Liss let out a sigh of relief as he confirmed he will stay.

"Oh gracias, dear Hacker. Ohhh, where do you want to go now? Or is it just a simple walk around? "

Liss gave him a lovely smile and slowly took his hand, slowly getting up.

"Sooo, how have you been dear? While I was suffering in Rheinland and surrounding systems. And well, trying to kill Vereinigte... Just VWA member, almost got Klugmann himself, raaaawh!."

She rolled her eyes, pure madness in her eyes.

"A little walk, yes. Calgary looks spectacular from the Freeport." Both walked out of the room with new vials at hand.

"I was disappointed a bit that you couldn't provide a similar amount of dedication. Assassinating one of the scoundrels of VWA would have sent them a strong message. Anyway. You know I enjoy spending my time with you but I am a busy man, I cannot leave my business unattended for too long." He genuinely admitted while looking at Planet Calgary.

"Sooo a spectacular view of the planet over there, Oki! Gracias though, dear. Iam enjoying my time with you."

Liss followed him slowly, trying to poke his hand with hers.

"Sorry for the disappointment, dear Hacker. I really tried to get them, but after the fight when Klugmann himself escaped in his wreck, all Vereinigte members tried to avoid me.
I know, dear. You know I like you and always will try to use the oppurnity to meet you again."

She rolled her eyes, while pure madness can be seen.

"And I am here to make sure you are independent and comfortable." He smiled.

"Speaking of which... cardamine is very expensive. Proper maintainance to a ship like yours must be a very costly operation... I was wondering if you are running out of money. Perhaps I can help you there." He looked at her eyes and continued.

"I know that you don't want me to simply give you some money, you will not be okay with that for multiple reasons. What if I make my offer again about VWA? I will have my revenge and you will have your hard-earned cash. By that time I will probably have finished the arrangements about your transfer to the Sisterhood, should you be interested of course."
