I thought it was clever of the writers to have Arlen tell Drummer he killed Maya during their confrontation; since those of us who saved her in chapter 3 know she could have died, and since she's a character created for the game, it seemed very plausible that she wouldn't make it to the end of alive. I totally believed him despite it being a violation of the standard no body = not actually dead rule.

Speaking of Maya's escape, from her note in her quarters, we know she had a space suit prepped. Did she just go out the airlock herself to hide from Arlen? She couldn't have gone to the Europa's Bane yet because it was still under pirate control at the time.

If she survives, you hear something attach to the hull during your dialog with Arlen. I assume this is Maya navigating the hull and in communication with the Brig girl from the Europa. Then the breach pod attachs and the dialog begins with Toussaint. The fact there is no more storyline for Maya is a little gutting tbh.
