Max had gone outside to try and fend off some of the lizards she had heard about from the journals. She didn't want any of them to get in and hurt any of the people who couldn't take care of themselves or didn't have the training to do so. She had gone out with her guard up and was looking for the first lizard she could find. She was dying to kick some lizard ass, there hadn't been much use for her to fight since she got to this planet.
While passing the theater, she heard a commotion inside and decided to go check it out. She stepped over the kicked in doors and saw the fighting. When she saw who was fighting the lizards she smiled, they all seemed to be femme fatales. She thought to herself Girls kick ass. Says so on a t-shirt somewhere
She joined in the fighting with her military trained hand to hand combat, and called over to the other girls, "I heard there was a party, mind if I join?" And she proceeded to run up a wall and come down behind the lizard she was fighting to snap it's neck with one hand before moving on to the next one.
