"All the essentials. Is there more?" He arches an eyebrow.

"I'm sure there is. I doubt any system youve gotten into knows anything about me aside from the base essentials." She cocked a brow, wondering if he would take the bait.

"I don't suppose you'd give them up freely." He shits down his holo computer, giving her his full attention.

She chuckled at his perception and shakes her head. "Nothing in this world is free, Silas. But most things are worth the price."

"That remains to be seen. What is the asking price?"

This seemed to be a popular game with the girls here. First Rebecca and now Piper.

"Fine."

"Who built your arm piece?" She asked. The answer felt fairly obvious, but in this strange world, nothing could be assumed.

"I did. Is Piper White your birth name?" He fires back immediately.

"None. That would leave me vulnerable to hacking, so I break all connections immediately. You aren't the nun type, clearly, but why did you change your name?"

"Piper was given to me. White is extremely common in Australia. Anonymity." For the first time, there was a slight flinch in her gaze. "Who helped teach you your engineering skills?"

"A man named Reeve. I mostly learned just by observing, as I couldn't stand to converse with him for long." He notices the flinch.

"Why are you desperate for anonymity? Your appearance contradicts that."

Licking her lips, she almost contemplated not answering. Already, Silas knew more about her than she would have liked. "I have people looking for me from back home."

Quickly, she tried changing the subject. "Why are you at Paradigm?"

"Two reasons. It's the best way to test myself and my parents disapprove. Who is looking for you and why don't you want to be found?"

Compound question in return for his compound answer.

There was a moment of silence and her discomfort became obvious, thick in the air between them. She had to take a deep breath before trying to answer.

"My mother, my church, and my Sir." She spat the first two answers, but the last was said softly. "And because the first two didn't know I was leaving... And the last will find me, anyways..."

She went silent, thoughtful, out of questions as her mind filled with the image of her Almighty.

"Your...sir?" He sneaks in another question.

"Yes," she answers, quietly. "My Sir. That's all you'll get out of me for that last answer." She tried to crack a smile but it looked weak.

"So you admit defeat? You refused to answer before I did." He tries to verbally push her a little.

Her smile strengthens a bit. "You're smart," she admits easily. "You asked quite a few really good questions. I've got one more, if you're up for it. I don't know if its worth the answer to the question you just asked, but it might get you something."

She didn't bother asking if he was okay with it. She wasn't that dumb.

"What are you going to do with this information?"

It's now Silas' turn to hesitate answering! He puts his hand to his chin, deciding if he wants to share!

"...likely nothing. However the more information I have on all things the better prepared and equipped I can be for all things."

She nodded slowly, wondering if he was telling the truth. In a way, he was avoiding the question, so she figured she owed him the same.

"My Sir is my Savior, the man who gave me this." Her fingers hooked the chain she wore around her neck and lifted it to show him before letting it drop back against her chest.

"You're in a cult." It's stated rather than asked, unimpressively at that.
