Base 1 - Future | Night
The woman did not like the man's proposition. If she removed her helmet, then she would be vulnerable to attack. She may have had incredibly strong bones like her father, but they weren't indestructible. Anything larger than a .40 caliber round would go straight through her skull, incapacitating her and leaving her open for capture. Of course, if she did, then best-case scenario would be the man would give her the files and she could go on her merry way. Even though only 20 milliseconds ticked by, the woman was able to quickly sift through all the possibilities. The man could have a second gun hiding in his pocket, there could be people behind her, turrets could come from the ceiling, turrets could come from the floor, the room could possibly explode with shape charges, incapacitating her and leaving the man unharmed, the walls could reveal gas pipes and leak sleeping or noxious gas in. The man could easily have a gas mask in his desk drawer.
There were so many possible ways this could turn out, and she considered all of them, but after shifting her gaze across the entirety of the room, she could see that the place was not trapped. There were no tiny holes in the walls, and her VISR/Promethean Vision HUD system showed no traces of explosive materials in the walls, or even a gas mask in his desk drawer. She even checked her radar to see if there was a possible ambush, but there was nothing. After taking less than a second to debunk each possibility, the woman reached up and pulled the emergency hatch on the inside of her helmet. The helmet let out a faint hiss as it depressurized, and the woman took off her helmet. The woman looked almost exactly like Yukari, only instead of having purple eyes, she had brilliant turquoise eyes, almost unnaturally rich in color, similarly to John's unnaturally blue eyes.
"Why did you want me to remove my helmet?", the woman calmly asked the man as she held her helmet by her side, all while still aiming the gun at him.
