Elyse excitedly shuffled around her room, gathering data sheets and images and stuffing them into a folder. She was glad to be back on land. It meant that she could visit her supervisor, Atticus; the person supporting her voyage on the Marauder's ship. Her supervisor also was helping her write her research journal. It was kind of a big deal since it was the first journal from a scientist that took the data while in [i]space[/i] in [i]years[/i]. Soo, it was easy to say that Elyse was thrilled to be on the Marauder's crew.

After all of the space rat attacks and constant need for an extra hand on repairs, Elyse hadn't done as much research as she would have liked to in the few weeks that she had been on the spaceship. Fortunately, though, the little research she did looked very promising! She knew there was a few things in the data sheets and images that were extremely fascinating. Atticus was going to be just as happy as she was with the data she gathered.

With her heart full of enthusiasm, Elyse stuffed her folder into her satchel and grabbed her jacket before heading out of her room. She'd left it in a mess, but it was necessary in order to find all of the important data. Soon, Elyse was stepping out of the ship and into the docking bay. She noticed Reena with a new recruit and waved with a smile. She didn't have time to stop and introduce herself, but she knew she'd be able to meet them later on.

As soon as Elyse's feet touched the platform for the bay, she stopped to look at the wonders of the spire. This place never ceased to amaze her. It was gorgeous, and [i]huge[/i]. A perfect example of how the gravitational pull of the supergiant that the spire orbited could keep such a large thing intact. She smiled as she thought over every scientific fact about this place before making her way towards the exit for the bay, knowing she only had a few hours to talk to Atticus and make her way back here.

Elyse walked along, looking around at the other crusaders and travelers in the bay. A figure standing next to a window caught her attention, though. He seemed to be amazed, and relaxed, at the sight of the nearby star's enormous presence. The most curious thing about him was the plant he held in his arms. She gasped softly when she recognized the figure. [i]It's Shaso͞on! He's alive![/i]

The last time that Elyse had heard any news about the brave Ju'yavāl was that he was being treated to a newly made antidote to the space rat's poison. It had worked, but the poor crew mate was in a coma. [i]I guess he woke up in time to relax on the Spire.[/i]

With a smile on her face, Elyse headed over to Shaso͞on. She'd never really had a long conversation with him, but he never seemed intimidating or unfriendly to her. At the moment, the way he was holding the plant and leaning against the thick glass made him look as harmless as a flower.

"Shaso͞on! You're okay!" She said, hoping to get his attention before she startled him. "I'm glad to see that." She smiled at the armor-clad man before her, hoping he would accept her friendly nature. "Who gave you the plant? It's very nice."

Elyse continued to smile up at the tall, dark figure. Maybe this was a chance to get to know him better.
