She, personally, would have been much happier sleeping in until the last moment possible, but of course she'd gotten Lyssiah as her neighbour. As much as she loved her dour little elven friend, she did take everything just a bit too seriously sometimes and had all but dragged her out of her room to get ready to go ahead of time. Oh, she could see the sense behind it, especially since the crew of this little ship didn't seem to like them one bit, but c'mon! She was a rising star who needed her beauty sleep. Let her be grumpy at least for a little bit before she had to start taking everything all<em>serious</em>-like. She checked her rifle for jams and errors idly as they waited for things to get going, and considered their options. She moved past Lyssiah, giving her a teasing little hip-check on the way before shooting a wink at Reva. These girls were her galpals whether they liked it or not, and since they were always so serious and buttoned up...well, she<em>had</em>to be the irresponsible one to balance it out, or the world around them would just warp with density of their grumpiness. It would be like a Black Hole, but more dour. A Grey Hole, then. Or maybe a Beige Hole.<br/><br/>She loved them, she did, and she actually did trust them to watch her back at least a little. Reva had proven to be a reliable ally on multiple occasions, and that kinda trust didn't break easily. When shit went down, she knew she could rely on Reva to keep her out of danger as much as she could. And Lyssiah...well, Lyssiah was a rogue and a rapscallion, yeah, but Valerie knew that she felt like she owed her something, and she wasn't the kinda thief that was completely without honour. Well, that was what Lyssiah told herself, but Valerie reckoned that there was more to it than that. She might protest that she only "Tolerates" Valerie, but Valerie knew the truth. As much as she was loathe to admit it, Valerie had grown on her, and she didn't wanna see her hurt. It was touching, really, how tsundere Lyssiah really was, and she found it kind of cutely endearing. She hummed to herself a little, checking her straps and her knife and stuff before proceeding, poking her head out to look left and right and up and down before leaving the ship. No harm in checking the environment before leaving the safety of the ship, eh? She cocked her hips as she shifted her weight, pulling her head back in. The coast<em>seemed</em>clear, at least, so that was a good start!<br/><br/>In any case, it seemed like they had a decision to make.<strong>"Well, that's a real toughie, innit?"</strong>She chuckled softly. Walking to the ship would definitely take way too spacin' long for her liking, and considering that they didn't have any reliable information that anything was even alive on that wreck, it seemed like a hell of a risk to take. Besides, if there<em>was</em>something living in there that had eyes or scanners, they'd probably already seen the ship streaking towards the moon, hadn't they? A buggy might stand out, but it was a quick way to get there before they had any chances to mount any meaningful defences, and if things started to visit the shitshow, well, it offered a quick escape if they needed it. Besides, they didn't<em>have</em>to drive it right up to the front door, now did they? She leaned against the wall of the cargo bay, tilting her head at the other girls.<strong>"We should take the buggy, I reckon,"</strong>she said, her voice crackling over the Comm Link to the other two. Even muffled through the intercom, her voice was obviously sing-song and melodic, a naturally musical rhythm pulsing with every syllable.<strong>"If there's anything in there, it might have seen the ship already, and we'll want to make a quick getaway if things go wrong, neh?"</strong>She shrugged.<strong>"Our air's also limited, so...might be an idea t' limit our time out there in the vacuum, right?"</strong>
