Perhaps it was the somewhat kindred DNA that they shared or just the fact that they had come to not only the ships rescue her own as well. Whatever it was she felt for him being in a strange place with strange people, had to be a pretty nerve racking and scary situation. The whole attack even set her on edge though she knew it was mostly to excess adrenaline her body had been producing that now had stopped suddenly making all of her wounds hurt that much more. Laying back in the bed she closed her eyes while the nurse continued with treating her wounds, though her ears were still trained on the group gathered around the alien.<br/><br/>Captain Troy looked to Azzy with a tired sigh, â€œA report is being made as we speak but right now I am mostly concerned with getting the ship into a fighting condition again and making sure my pilots are ok. When Angela is done the two of you go to the mess hall and get something to eatâ€ she told him in a somewhat order type fashion before her attention returned once more to the alien who was much to her shock speaking English fluently. Listening to what both Artemis and what Malicent had to say, smirking to herself at the priestâ€™s assumption involving Angela. â€œWell if you think that you could convince her to go without losing an arm or two be my guess, though I have known Angela a long while and she is fine. Remember she is spliced with predatory DNA and when a predator gets injured they become violent and scared that something larger will come along while they are weak and take them down. What she needs is some rest and a thick steak and she will be just fine, but you are welcome to try if you like. I wonâ€™t order her to go if she refuses since I know she does not need itâ€ she chuckled a bit before focusing once again back on the Alien. <br/><br/>Taking Artemisâ€™s advice she nodded to the nurses, â€œNow we are going to let you go ok? WE have not hurt you and are only trying to help. If you move to attack us know that you wonâ€™t make it out of here alive. Ok?â€ her tone gentle but firm as she watched the nurses carefully undo the restraints. â€œMy name is Captain Meredith Troy of the United Mankind Forces and you are on my ship the Elyandra. We are an exploratory ship out seeking a new home for our people, are you from a planet or system nearby?â€ She asked him kind of hoping that he was cause then they could maybe work out settling there or he may know of a planet they could claim for their own instead.<br/><br/>Veronica swore under her breath as she finally made it to the hanger, she was going to murder Nickle, damn the consequences but she was not going to be putting up with his little ass for another untold miles until they found a home. She was going to jettison him out in an escape pod the first chance she got, and then she would see about getting the rest of the stuff taken care of. Right now though she had to find Jared that last fight went horrible and she knew some of the other pilots along with the ship had taken some damage. She just had to make sure he was okâ€¦.<br/><br/>She had just began her search when he was there before her his arms about her, murmured words of apology coming from his lips against her ear. All she could so was smile and sigh in relief as she hugged him back her body practically molding to his own as relief washed over her, â€œIt's okâ€¦.I was just worried about you when the fighting started. I was getting reports about the censors going down and then the shields. I am just glad you are safe and in one pieceâ€¦â€ she whispered back to him.</div></blockquote>
