Hessta immediately noticed the mechanic's strange form, in all his travels he had never seen a creature like her and he could tell from her initial expression that she was surprised at his appearance as well. She was obviously female, and Hessta fought the instinctive repulsion that had been bred into his race over centuries as she spoke.

"Good Day, how may I help?" 

"The fuel compartment is leaking and the K-3 Drive needss work." He let his accent become a little bit clearer and he jerked his head towards the ship. He slithered away from his ship to give the mechanic room to work, but he made sure to have a clear view of anywhere she might need to be. Hessta's arms were still crossed and he flicked his tongue out to smell the air around the mechanic and get a better idea of what she might be.
