747 Nico The Inquisitive

It didn't take them long to reach the private room, where a wide variety of liquor and snacks were waiting for them, along with another pair of hostesses that Max identified immediately as Mimics, but they didn't have the same sense of presence as the boss, and their features looked a bit bland like they had been overly retouched for social media. 

 

After listening to their thoughts, he realized that it wasn't a permanent thing, they had only recently arrived on board Absolution, and they weren't one hundred percent adept at imitating humans yet. 

 

Nico realized almost as fast as Max did, possibly due to the sensor suite in her augmentic eyes, and she went directly over to them to examine them. The Mimic was startled but assumed that Nico had been enamoured of her appearance and wanted to dance, so the pair swayed in time with the background music, and the Mimic did her best to ignore the squeezing and wandering hands while Max tried not to laugh.
