Well, she didn't need to tell her once, to be fair; even before Reva signalled them to duck down, Valerie had dropped down behind the nearest rock, obscuring herself from sight. She would recognise those big, lumbering forms anywhere; Vesk. Aggressive creatures, Vesk. They loved to fight anything and anybody that they could, and they were terrifyingly good at it. They were also very, very unlikely to take kindly to inerlopers in what they considered "their" territory, and given that this lot had seemingly taken up residence in the ship itself...well, she doubted their discovery was going to go over well. She clicked her tongue against her teeth.<strong>"Well, 't least we know who we're up against now, eh?"</strong>She grinned at Reva and Lyssie. Honestly, she didn't know why Reva was contacting base; it wasn't like they could do anything about it even if they cared to, and since they'd yet to get a response back from the ship, wasn't it possible that they weren't even receiving the updates? Still, it didn't hurt, she supposed.<br/><br/>She took a quick glance over her rock, eyes scanning the pair moving away from them across the dead wasteland. She frowned. Vesk...what were they doing here? It seemed an odd place to find a bunch of Vesk, after all. From the quality and uniformity of their weapons and armour, she had to conclude that it wasn't a pirate gang or a group of random smugglers. It was too high end for that, so...military, possibly, or maybe criminal? Well, frack. Just what they needed; getting mixed up in a Vesk organisation of any kind was sticky business, and she wasn't sure which was worse. The fact that they seemed outfitted for a long term stay, too? That didn't bode well either. Thank frak she'd thought to study culture and society in her downtime instead of snorting the blow.<strong>"They ain't scavengers, that much is for sure,"</strong>she said quietly.<strong>"Weapons and armour are way too advanced, and they match, which is a dead giveaway. I can't see the emblem from here, but I'd put money on it being a military or criminal group."</strong>She considered for a moment.<strong>"They're obv'sly here for th' long haul. They're either lookin' for somethin' on the ship...or they're tryin' t' salvage the ship itself. Not sure which'd be worse, honestly."</strong>She glanced at Reva, tilting her head.<strong>"Is there any way y' can get access t' their Comms? I'm a bit rusty, but I c'n speak Vesk passably enough. Maybe knowin' what they're doin' here'd help us get in 'n out with our pretty li'l faces intact."</strong>
