When Maxine asked one of the scarlet ladies in her department, one who proved to be talkative yet friendly, she realised that Batmod wasn't what it seemed on the outside.
She realised that the missives she had sent to Maverick were not meant to be forwarded to him. Batmod was an independent and secretive house to those who lived there and only in a few occasions were issues related to the society discussed within Batmod.
Scarlet ladies aside their service to the gentlemen had no leisure to communicate to people that reside outside its boundary.
Maxine tried to tell the talkative that it meant they were caged, but then, the latter seemed not to understand the reality or claimed that Maxine did not understand their reality.
Aside from the discussion from the talkative, Maxine further learnt something that began to become even more frustrating to her.
While they had their supper, one of the ladies brought out a discussion.
