No. Most of them are holograms installed into a computer. If they have a body, it's definitely not a nice looking one like this. [ She motions down at herself with her glass. ]
The body I had back home looked like a walking suit of armor.

Makes it a helluva lot easier to blend in like this. [ It's a big reason she doesn't wear her armor out and about. ] People before me wearing similar suits made it more conspicuous than it should to be walking around civilians like that.
[ And somehow spawned a character dubbed 'Armor Guy.' Out of those who were here before her, she has a feeling she knows who spawned it. ]

Yeah. [ She swirls her wine glass for a moment before reaching to poke at some of the food he's laid out. ] You know I technically don't need any of this, right?
[ He clearly remembers she's an AI. Yet he brought a nice spread of food and wine. ]

[ That's... Not the response she was expecting and she gives him an odd look. ]
I brought a bottle of whiskey with me, didn't I?

[ She snorts and focuses her gaze on the slow-moving tides. ] Yeah, it is. Just... Unexpected.
[ A faint shrug in return. He takes a larger swig of wine himself, swirling it around in the glass afterwards. ]
If food were purely for nutrition, we'd all eat rat bars morning, noon, and night. You're just lucky enough to have one fewer physical requirement.

[ She nudges him lightly with her elbow. Lighter than she normally would given how fragile he is. ]
Rat bars? Do I want to know how terrible food has gotten six hundred years in the future? And I thought our MREs were bad.

[ She wrinkles her nose in disgust. ]
Remind me of that if I ever bitch about the food here. That doesn't ruin troop morale?

[ A small nod. That's a mentality she can understand and really, when on the job in space your last concern is how good your food tastes. ] I only remember having to deal with that crap. My body back home couldn't even pretend to eat.
hey tex lmk when you get this? I'm back
[ She's not even texting back. Maya is getting a call and the first thing that's going to be said when the girl picks up the line is: ] Where the fuck were you?
I'm-- back in Nonah, I'm so sorry.
[She tries to speak as quickly as possible.]
I got ported out.

I got ported out.
And you're safe? No one hurt you?
[ A brief pause then: ] I'm coming to Nonah. Have you eaten dinner yet?

Since I have my armor with me? This, hands down. [ She hasn't had to deal wit the alternative, thankfully. ]
Used to it. It was what I used for years. [ She snorts as she glances over at him. ] Does it matter?
