[ That might not be entirely true, but she's certainly one of the more careful people on the team.
Dunno what that says about the team, really.
She creeps a little closer and peers through the trees- she can make out a younger male soldier addressing who she assume is Sarah. They talk for a bit, and Maya is sure she hears the word "intruders" said once or twice.
Sarah dismisses the soldier with a sharp order and a wave of her hand. Maya waits a moment or two more, gives the man time to put some distance between them. When she's sure the other woman is alone, Maya slings her gun over her back and stands, arms raised. ]
Sarah, right? [ Obviously, this startles her, and the soldier jumps, aiming her assault rifle at Maya, who quickly adds, ] I'm just here to talk. I'm a friend of Axton's.
[ That earns her something of a Look, so Maya quickly adds again, ] Just a friend. From Pandora.
[ Sarah's look shifts into something a little more calculating, and she lowers her rifle a smidge. "Go on."
So Maya explains- she explains how she knows Axton, first, then she explains about the mess Dahl has caused, and why they were sent by the Nova Corps. She explains that this planet is not like Pandora at all, and that if things were to go south, then the results could be potentially devastating. She does all of his calmly, coolly, with her arms in the air.
Sarah's gaze narrows, the gears in her head clearly turning, but she doesn't raise her gun again. "And I should work with you, because-?" ]
Because it's better than being against us. We're taking that Vault, one way or another- and if the Corp hasn't been completely honest with you about why you're here and what you're doing, wouldn't you rather avoid the bloodshed?
[ She has, of course, no fucking clue what Dahl tells and doesn't tell their employees, but she gets the feeling that if a lot of these people knew that Earth was populated and actually fairly peaceful, they might have some qualms.
Not everyone was Hyperion.
There's silence by way of response for a moment or two, then Sarah nods, and her assault rifle goes into the digistruct device on her thigh. May lets her hands drop. "Fine, but I want you to make sure this doesn't lead back to me.
If you want to walk through my camp, you'll need a uniform."
It's then that Maya glances over her shoulder and calls, ] You can come out now.

And one for him, too, please.
