Aria was struggling to find a way to reply to Rethea, however she was saved by captain Chase asking that everyone make their way to the crew quarters, suggesting they 'play, meet and greet'. Aria was perfectly up for that, however she would need to find a datapad to write on. Aria was ready to leave, however her evacuation from the room was interrupted by Knight, who successfully identified who she was, and that she was mute. He wondered how he would come across the information that she was mute, however she figured that such a serious condition (of which she should be medically discharged from the UNSC for) was listed on her IFF so people knew why she wouldn't respond on the COM.

A pair of questions quickly got fired after that, and before she could think of a way to reply, Knight had already vacated the room, as well as Rethea. [i]But I don't know sign language.[/i] Quickly, she trotted over to her bedside table again, and searched in the drawers. [i]Great![/i] She thought to herself, finding a datapad. She had not used one to write to someone for a long time, however she figured she could remember how to write [i]proper sentences[/i]. She quickly took the datapad and began to follow the others.
