Aria took a step back and looked around her - things were coming along nicely. Given that there didn't seem to be any movement towards either taking the station or departing on the shuttles she figured she might as well set herself up in the best room they had, which is why the past few days had involved gutting and emptying the burnt and abandoned suite on the fifth floor. It was hard going with her powers limited as they were, and she was taking a break to rehydrate and assess her progress when she heard a noise behind her. Months of living in the dangerous climes of the upper parts of the station had conditioned her to caution and she whirled, her biotics flaring briefly until she took in who it was.

"Ah, Boyd," she said, dropping her hands back to her sides and nodding briefly at him. "What a nice surprise."

He picked up the syringes and pocketed them. Somehow, he doubted he and Aria had the same view of the transaction that had taken place.

"Nice doing business with you, Aria," he said, turning to leave. "Good luck with the redecorating."

"I hope you'll be able to see it when it's finished," Aria told him, smirking at his back. "Odds are when I'm done you won't even recognise it."
