    1.0c

    Explanation:

    The speed of the laser light will be equal to the speed of light as measured by the Aja because the speed of the light remains constant with respect to any frame of reference. Thus, relative speed of the light will be same if kira and Aja are moving with different velocities.

    Hence, the answer will be the speed of light measured by Aja is 1.0c
