Veronica Maxwell was one of the very few synthetics actually a part of the marines. In fact, she wasn't entirely certain there were any synthetics besides herself on the entire station, though she hadn't precisely looked the information up. She'd been transferred to the station what seemed like ages ago, away from the only family she had, though she knew it was for her own good. A good deal of her time had been spent on the colony, either studying or working with the other marines. Being what she was though, she had mostly ostracized herself from the rest of the squad she was in, knowing full well how most humans regarded her 'kind'.<br/><br/>Veronica Maxwell had quickly made her way to the briefing room when she'd received the call, dressing into her BDU's as swiftly as she could manage. Thankfully, when she did arrive on scene, only a few others had gathered there before her, allowing her to relax somewhat as she seated herself into one of the numerous chairs facing the screen at the front. She sat quite stiffly, legs pressed together with her hands resting in her lap, looking very much like a new recruit, despite being familiar with combat. Her bright, golden eyes nervously watched the rest of the team assemble before her attention was taken by the Lieutenant Colonel at the front. It wasn't long before a small frown decorated her features, the gruesome sight of the two women being killed so quickly doing little for her self esteem. Briefly she looked over to Sergeant Jennifer Diaz as the woman asked several important and useful questions before her gaze slid back to the tall male before her.<br/><br/>With a sudden, soft sigh she raised her hand in the air, yellow orbs focusing on the Lieutenant Colonel before she spoke. "What is the priority of our mission, sir? Will we be focusing finding and taking down the terrorists? Or will we be attempting to funnel as many civilians as we can to safety? And what about potential hostage situations?" Veronica was understandably nervous about the entire situation. They had no idea on the numbers of the individuals that were attacking the facility, nor what sort of armaments they possessed. Furthermore, she wasn't entirely sure anyone on their team had dealt with hostage negotiations before.
