Aiden:"Hey, kids. I'm looking for a woman named Maya." Dominik:"Hahaha!" Aiden:"What's so funny?" Dominik:"(laugh) Maya ain't a grown-up! She's just a plain old girl." Aiden:"*You* who were the one trying to sell a PK weapon to Hubert?" Maya:"Yeah, but the jerk didn't want it. Got all freaked out and chased me away."
Aiden:"(Where did you find the Lazarus?) How did you get ahold of a Peacekeeper weapon?"
Maya:"We all found it. Was wandering around with these punks and ran across a corpse. Happens a lot. He was totally dead. We searched him. And I took the brass whose-whatsits, cuz I figured someone'd pay a pretty penny for 'em."
Aiden:"(Give me the Lazarus.) Maya... I need that weapon. It's very important."
Maya:"You expect me to just hand that brass... whosi-whatsit over? Are you nuts?"
Aiden:"The whosi-whatsit's real name is the Lazarus, and it belonged to an important PK. We might have a war if I don't return it. You could help us find a murderer."
Maya:"Okay ... I'll give you the stupid thing. But for 500."
Aiden:"(Negotiate.)"
Aiden:"(I don't pay.) 500? Are you crazy? Besides... Why do you need so much money?"
Maya:"What planet are you from? we don't have water. And water costs money."
Aiden:"Maya. It's dangerous. Do you want the PK to arrest you? Give it to me now!"
Maya:"All right ... Nobody wanted to buy 'em anyway. Cut myself on 'em, too."
Aiden:"Heya, little one. How're you?" Maya:"I'm not little." Aiden:"Hey, wait. We've met before. I'm Aiden. What's your name again?" Maya:"Maya." Aiden:"What're you doing here, Maya?" Maya:"Lookin' for bandits. Gonna beat the crap outta them. But I'm hiding from the infected right now." Aiden:"Ah... so what'd these bandits do to you?" Maya:"They stole lots of stuff. But the most important thing was-- Uh oh... they're here!" Bandit:"There she is!" Bandit 2:"You're done following us around, you little shit!" Maya:"Toldja." Bandit:"You're dead, kid!" Aiden:"Don't worry. How'bout I beat'em up? Hide. This won't take long."
(After the fight) Maya:"Thanks! That was amazing! And gross too..." Aiden:"They're the ones who stole your stuff?" Maya:"No. There were more of 'em before. The rest prolly have it." Aiden:"What's the 'most important' thing they took?" Maya:"My music box."
Aiden:"(Why does it mean so much to you?) Why is it so important to you?"
Maya:"It belonged to my mother. That's all I have left of her."
Aiden:"(It must be valuable.) That does sound important."
Maya:"You need to find it. And... I'll let you keep it if you do. You did save my life. The bandits went into that building overlooking a construction site, on William IX Road! You gotta get it from them! If you won't, then I will!"
Maya:"If you can't find them, just stop and listen. The music box plays a meloday like this... Hmmmm... Hm-hmmmm... Hm-hmm-hm-hmmmm..."
Aiden:"I'll keep that in mind."
Maya:"But they won't be there during the day. Go at night. They always go back to that building at night."
Aiden:"Why don't I take you home? Where do you live?"
Maya:"I'll go to the Bazaar. By myself. I'm not a baby. If you don't want to keep the music box, you could sell it there. It's worth a lot!"
(At the Bazaar, after obtaining the music box) Maya:"Aiden! Did you do it? Did you find the music box?"
Aiden:"(I'll keep it for my reward.)"
Aiden:"(I came to give it back to you.) Yes. And I've come to give it back to you."
Maya:"But... I said you could keep it. For saving my life. And I mean what I say."
Aiden:"I believe you. But the way you keep humming the tune from this music box... Seems you'd be happier if you had it back. So it would have a better home with you than with me. Thank you, Aiden."
Aiden:"Maya? Why don't you wait a few years before you look for a boyfriend?" Maya:"Are you nuts? I'm looking for a Herman. Like the one Sophie has." Aiden:"A Herman?" Maya:"A warrior who would jump into the flames for me. So that we could have our own gang and never fear anyone. Maybe you'd like to be that? I saw you fight. We could kick some ass together!"
Aiden:"(No.)"
Aiden:"(Yes.) I'd be happy to join you. Together with such a brave ki... woman, we could rule the town."
Maya:"Yaaayyy! Cool!"
Aiden:"Yeah, but first... I need to finish what I'm doing. Gotta find someone."
Maya:"I see... Anyway, if you want to start our gang when you're finished, let me know."
