A playful smile flickers across Samantha's face as the video transmission turns on. Suppressing her smile a little, she begins to speak in a somewhat flat, no-nonsense tone.
Miss Valdez,
I have reached out to you today to--- her composed and serious facade breaks as she begins to laugh, a sound similar to that of a bubbling stream. Composing herself a little better, she manages to speak, her voice brimming with laughter.
Oh, god, I couldn't even get through one sentence trying to be serious like Nick. Anyway's it's a pleasure to finally meet you! I hope my message doesn't catch you at a bad time, as I'd love to have a little meet up so we can get to know each in person.
Samantha smiles brilliantly at the camera, before quickly turning and picking something up off-screen. Holding up a keychain, complete with a rather secure looking card hanging from it. Her eyes sparkle as she begins speaking again.
I managed to nick the keys to the luxury shuttle from Nick without him realizing, and I think it would be fantastic for us to have a little shopping spree. Where? Well my dear, everywhere of course!
I'll admit it left me quite surprised when you dropped the serious tone. I'm not entirely sure how I'm supposed to respond to this most random and bizarre invitation. Enma is busy doing important political things as usual and has left me all alone on a Saturday evening. So you know what, frag it, I'm in. She ain't the only one who can be immature and make hastily decisions on a whim.
Where can you pick me up? I'm currently on Yaren, but I could probably jump a few stars in your directions. There's not much shopping to be done in the Omicrons anyways. This place is a drag. Oh and the planet Nauru? Nothing but friggin' sand for kilometers!
Oh yeah, one more thing - I may or may not be wanted within Liberty, just so you know. Toodles!
Eliza, oh I'll have to think of a name for you too now. No fair that mines easier to make into a nickname. She pout's slightly, before the smile creeps back onto her face.
Oh my, I totally forgot to introduce myself. Well, since you know Nick, you've probably guessed that I'm a friend of his.A soft giggle escapes her throat. Well that one was obvious I guess. Samantha Vincents, Sam to my friends, Miss Vincents to people who want to irritate me, at your service.
Anyways, now that you know who I am, I'd say its time for us to quit stalling and to get shopping. A warm smile plays across her face as she winks at the camera. Enma might of left you because she's busy with work, but I'll tell you what. The Ferry's already left, and I've opened up the first bottle of champagne for testing. I'll pick you up at the Freeport in Sigma-15. Look for the fancy white ship playing loud music. Her face flushes slightly as she continues
I've been looking forwards to some shopping for so long, and it'll be so nice to have some company for once. I don't even know where to begin, there are so many places to go and we've got all the time in the world. Oh, and enough money to outfit another whole fleet. So If we begin in Sigma-15 we absolutely have to visit the markets on Honshu and New Tokyo, before visiting the supermalls in Liberty. Don't worry about the whole "criminal" thing, we'll get wigs, glasses and dresses in Kusari to disguise ourselves with. She lets out a pleasant laugh.
I'll see you soon sweetie. And I promise I'll try save some of this absolutely fantastic champagne for you.
