The surface was as miserable as MAethia had expected, uncomfortable and sweltering despite the hardshell suit and its life-preserving systems. Sweat ran down the small of her back that she was not entirely to blame on the heat and her grip on her mattock was tight, like a young girl holding close an object of personal importance to ward off anxiety. Despite her own misgivings about entering the ship with such a large fireteam and of course the eeriness of it all she stayed right behind Firas with weapon ready, the stock pressed into the pocket of her shoulder squarely.<br/><br/>Her military training was most definitely showing through, no longer was the Asari joking or talking to keep at ease. She was entirely focuses and every bit as severe as Firas at this point, her posture oozing a confidence that’d only come from quite some time of doing exercises just like this many times before. It did take a little bit of will not to waver at the sight of the yawning mouth , the near chasm like entrance of the downed frigate but she held, flicking on the powerful LED light beneath the barrel of her Mattock and readjusting her grip. Maethia wanted to speak, to say anything at this point and mainly just for her own good but she wasn’t going to break radio silence on her own part just for that simple want.<br/><br/>When the signal comes she easily falls to the back to provide cover, taking up the rear and sweeping the powerful flashlight behind the party to cover their tracks just in case. It was disconcerting just how empty and dead it all felt inside of a dark ship, like caves that hadn’t seen habitation before despite the obvious sapient presence that’d been there some time before. Perhaps it was simply wearing a rebreather that was getting to hear, the stale taste of recirculated air and being able to hear her own damn heartbeat. When they paused she swept the light of her rifle across the bay, kneeling behind the rest of the team half tucked behind a crate.<span style="color: purple">“ Ready, sir.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
