Landing flat on one's back on the ass-end of Osiris was not a stealthy way to avoid bounty hunters and corporate goons. At all. It also hurt. Like, can't breathe, and I think I maybe just died except PAIN, hurt. But probably the worst thing about it--beyond breathing, which was already a nuisance given the incongruous black catsuit she'd stolen from someone with smaller boobs and a bigger ass--was that moment of pause where anyone on the station could have grabbed Sascha by the foot and hauled her unwilling yet helpless would-be corpse wherever they wanted.
Bounty hunters could give a drek about her hair, too, black and brown curls likely picking up everything the wasted spaces this underbelly had to offer.
"Fraggin' son of a grkk--" Sascha gasped when she managed to suck in air again and flail her limbs at her assailant, only to find said air cut off and the blinding room around her partially blocked by whoever was jamming their bony kneecap into her throat. She subsided, breathing shallowly even as brown eyes cracked by shards of emerald were wide, scanning, adjusting to the room. "The minute you turn me in," she rasped carefully at the woman overhead, "they will kill you. You won't see a cred, and you sure as fraggin' all won't see them coming."
--
Fate, for his part, was so utterly relieved to hear Sass's exclamation filter in past the other woman's tech that he almost--almost--forgot they were far from out of the woods. Because now, both women were trapped somewhere he couldn't reach, and there were still bounty hunters combing the area. At least the latter, now that he knew what the situation truly was, was something he address. Sass would be seen in every nook and cranny. Stars, to get around the need for augmented viewers, he could put up a bid for a costume contest. She'd have disappeared in a sea of lookalikes.
He put the digital flyer up before he considered some of the bounty hunters might be in a killing mood. But then, the ones who typically tailed after Sass wouldn't settle nor bother with killing an imposter so. Surely. It'd be fine.
The former...well. Just to be certain, he sent a trickle of code into the ether, searching for signals to hijack.
"Thank you," he told the woman who was probably regretting doing the very thing he was about to thank her for. "You just saved my friend's life. For the moment. And it's fortunate that you found her, really. Because now I can get send these hunters on a real merry chase, and you've got someone flesh and blood to help, since I no longer have eyes on you."
Except there was a signal coming through now--not that he'd tell her that, when Fate could see a tumble of black and green and brown and...leather?...and she had her knee to Sascha's throat. "Look, she's probably terrif--" Yeah, good, paint the defenseless datathief weaker than she is. That'll keep her alive. "Just let her know I said hi."
With that done, he scooped up his datapad and began reading a whole barrel full of Life and Times.
