By the time the pod door opened, the young woman inside had gathered everything together that was necessary, along with the data crystals containing the results of all her tests. Standing up as the front hatch lifted away, she took the hand that was offered to her so that she could step out onto the deck of the ship, Aquamarine eyes blinking in the bright lights after having spent so much time in a darkened pod, and before that, the blackness of space.<br/><br/>Despite the fact that her cheeks were tear streaked, she cut a very attractive figure, with a royal blue bodysuit several shades darker than her eyes and loose fitting pants, a collared sleeveless white coat that came down to her knees completing the ensemble and matching the high heeled white boots. Her strawberry blonde hair was mostly wound up into a loosely woven french braid that wrapped around the crown of her head before the ends curled around the nape of her neck in loose little ringlets. She was of slender build, though not as tall as one would expect from a lower gravity world. Her accent however definitely placed her as coming from the Epsilon Eridani system. Between her hair, clothing, and accent it was easy to place her as a woman of some significant wealth, though obviously intelligent or ITC wouldn’t have hired her as someone allowed to work on something as integral to their systems as their Relay buoys.<br/><br/>She managed not to stumble, despite having trouble seeing still, looking up at the people gathered around as her vision slowly returned to focus. “Thank you… thank you…” she managed to get out, nearly collapsing but catching herself, taking a moment to get steady on her feet. She stared at the bay doors, as though looking out into the blackness of space beyond. “Please tell me you saw who did this….” she asked, looking between the three of them. “There were thirty six people on board that ship. Good people. Most of them with families…” her breath caught in her throat once more, eyes closing tightly as she fought to maintain her composure. “I don’t understand why… what could they possibly have gotten from this… senseless slaughter.”
