Ashleigh was having a hard time figuring out how to be useful in this situation. She really wasn't good for much except for being the 'civilian' perspective, as well as any input on anything scientific. Here she could do no more than to wait for instructions and hopefully pull them off without much of a hitch.<br/><br/>The one thing she knew not to do was to make a whole lot of noise. Though Franka seemed to be rather paranoid on first impression, she didn't seem too worried about causing a ruckus and made her way over to what looked like another newcomer. In the night vision, it soon became clear that this was the Plane Hermit that the group was deciding what to do with. If Franka was cool with him and he wasn't so inclined to raise his weapon and shoot at them, he was cool with the scientist.<br/><br/>In classical military precision, Hackett handed another weapon to Ashleigh and whispered out instructions to the group. The jargon didn't make a whole lot of sense, but she figured that the elder of the two was just describing the firearm and its capabilities. Carefully putting her issue pistol away, Ashleigh wordlessly followed Utem south.
