Samantha and Maxis's relationship is more based on guilt than anything else. Maxis put his work ahead of his daughter and wanted to make up for it. He didn't even notice Richtofen's experiments on Samantha or his ploting against him.

I can't help but feel that Maxis is being manipulated. Ever since the events of Moon I've felt there's something behind the scenes pulling everyone's strings. Maxis's experiments into Element 115, Richtofen's descent into maddness and know this Agartha buisness is all unsettling. Especially Samantha's warning: "The blackness will swallow your pride! Something far more terrible than you lies here!"
