Not sure about that Sheela. From Rose's previous comments I think Malati enjoys making people 'uncomfortable'.
Dari should REALLY be ready to squirm, so Malati is going to see just how uncomfortable she can make Dari. Finding out that Douchebag wants her really should make her NERVOUS.
Think Noctis would be more impressed, however she might put two and two together and come up with an uncomfortable 5. Hope those scans aren't detected.
NOT, CentComm... His mood is beyond FOUL, I think. Of course, getting beat up by his hostage... and then Maxus would put most people in a bad mood. Of course, Douchebag is still breathing, which is more than can be said for MOST people that threaten someone he is protecting.
Crazy monkey wrench idea... Ceci and Dolly get discovered as androids, fight their way free. Dari gets executed as a ringleader trying to infiltrate the palace in a royal kidnapping conspiracy charge.
Heh! I figgered Dari would have a rap sheet in Nova Roma longer than a kids Christmas list to Santa Claus. I'll just bet His Imperial Asswipe would like to see her; roasted over a slow fire for starters.
Sub-text says this MIGHT be an issue? You THINK?!? Apparently Dolly's artificial nature is passing mustard... so far. Nothing immediately tripping Noctis' alarms.

Spooky girl is spooky. Okay I'll stop obsessing about the spooky girl, but you have to admit, she looks like she just came from dancing in the graveyard on a full moon.
Hmm, I dunno. Large chest, snug clothes, glowy eyes, fairly standard for DC character models. Yeah, Noctis is pale but actually less so than some goth girls I see. I also know some really neat older women with pretty grey hair like that; amazing people and cool friends. Granted, they have more wrinkles than Noctis does. But, nope, creepy's not hooked up for me here.
Malati's eyes are a little odd. But, honestly, I think Lexy is weirder. I suppose this implies I'm more frightened by J-pop than the Cassians. Which I would argue is probably a correct sense of priorities. :D
Okay guys, Our valiant prince is hemmed in on all sides by the people who are not happy with him. I have a funny feeling he will have an offer for Dari. The bounty was put out when conditions were different and Douche figured he was still in control. I feel comfortable in saying that he no longer feels in control and will take appropriate action to take it back. I Think Dari is about to become a pawn in this.
What I am thinking is that douche is going to be looking for allies. Disposable allies, but still allies. He is feeling isolated now and since he is a control freak this would be intolerable. He will be looking for a way to get back into control.
I wonder who all is invited to the upcoming celebrations and if it will be 'interrupted' by the war droids that he still controls. A nice and easy way to remove these irritating 'roadblocks' that keep popping up.
You know your hooked when you start spending time trying to anticipate what is going to happen!
Did everyone forget that Dec is under strict watch by Monks. No females (human anyways) would be allowed near him unattended without them. Unless they don't care about prisoners to vent his problem on her.
What's creepy about her is that baby face, while you know the kind of things she does. I keep imagining a monotone voice, no inflections, no emotions.
And maybe I'm a big softy but I'm starting to feel a little bit bad for Dari. Granted, not MUCH remembering how she treated Lynn....but I wouldn't throw a rabid dog to Decimus (although it would probably be solving too problems at once, come to think....)
When designing Noctis, I swan-dived into the Uncanny Valley for all I was worth. I wanted that porcelain baby-doll face with absolutely no emotional expressiveness. And she does indeed have a flatly monotone manner of speaking, but her voice is very soft and girlish, in the alto range. Malati works with a master's dedication to be as creepy as possible; Noctis does it just by existing.
The requirement was unharmed...
:p
I hope her level of threat and anxiety is starting to rise now... :D
...and Malati is laying it on thick. ;)
...and yayyy for the weapons - I believe they will come in handy for them later....
Of Course, she doesn't know about the broken jaw hindering Dari's ability to speak.
She'll probably figure that out pretty soon though.
Heck, Malati will probably even enjoy Dolly's handiwork .. might even be impressed once she learns how fast it happened.
Dari should REALLY be ready to squirm, so Malati is going to see just how uncomfortable she can make Dari. Finding out that Douchebag wants her really should make her NERVOUS.
No paddles!

Smooth story flow guys, as always.

Though you DO have a point about how spooky Noctis looks. The package is seriously creepy.
