"We have your sister, why do we need Miller?!"
"Gillian looked up from the components she was soldering as her brother and Kinzie's voices once again echoed through the ship. It sounded like they had returned back to that particular argument, with her brother being pro-Miller in terms of team additions and Kinzie being the voice of anti-British hacker joining.
Kensington and Miller still harbored a profuse and unrelenting hatred for each other. Her brother's request that Kinzie put priority on finding Miller to assist her in their efforts to free everyone was not sitting well with the former FBI agent. Kinzie was convinced or at least emphatic that Gillian would be perfect enough help. Gillian, herself, was even willing to help.
But Malcolm wasn't letting her near the simulation nor was he comfortable about her decrypting Zin data. It was like he was afraid if she touched anything that had to do with the simulation, Gillian would be taken away. She counted herself lucky he wasn't trying to stop her from her working on things around the ship. Course with everything going on and the fact that she'd managed to repair and fly an alien shuttle off the planet before it exploded, he wasn't so quick to put her in a corner safely out of the way for her own good.
So thank you Zinyak for that she supposed.
She admitted she was rather curious about Matt Miller since they had never met in person. Kinzie was obviously biased and had painted him as many things. None of them positive. From her brother's tales the man hadn't been painted as poorly but they retained similar strokes. And as for her own personal interactions…
Well he probably wouldn't even know who she actually was or perhaps didn't care. But in the online gaming world, the pair of them had more than once fought in the same arena and fantasy setting. Kinzie had been the one to point out that his handle, R4gn0r0k, had been found in the same place as Gillian's and that Gillian had been in several Nyte Blayde related discussions with Miller in several forums. As well as Matt having more than once being the first to comment when Gillian had posted a couple of her Nyte Blayde fan fictions. A very enthusiastic commenter. Gilly was glad the heat from the torch she was using could be blamed in case anyone suddenly saw her cheeks flare up in a blush.
The conflicting interactions she'd had with Matt Miller and those of her friends just made her curiouser and curiouser about him.
