This planet made her homesick and long for a past she had left behind. It was not completely the same as Pluvia for the skies on this planet were clear and the glaciers on her HomeWorld were not present though the trees almost felt like they were glaciers with the height. Rae found this planet completely serene and was comfortably trudging through the snow, far less bundled than the rest of the ground team as the temperature was no bother to her. She was pleased with this kind of weather, only second best to rain in her eyes.

It has appeared that all would go well with little to no incidents but obviously, Rae should have know that nothing seemed to go right with the Marauders. It all started when the researcher decided to get samples and explore a nest of some sort. This had prompted an attack from a giant ice bird that had turned its attention towards the Captain after it was attacked by said man. Rae knew it was to buy them time to get to the Monroe and that was all well and good but if he thought she would leave him to deal with that creature alone than maybe she should check his brain for damage. 

She had headed out with the rest at first before looping back to find a good view point of the creature and a clear shot. An arm reached back, grabbing her bow and a single arrow before notching the string with arrow at the ready. Rae's vision shifted, the world becoming black as every living thing lit up to her though her focus was only on the bird. The ice made it have little weak points but there was one place that was vulnerable to almost every species. She lined up her shot, ready to sprint since the creature would ultimately not appreciate what she was about to do. Once the creature swiped down the tree, she had only a second to look over Atlas and analyzing that he was indeed mostly uninjured. Orange irises turned their attention towards the creature once more, following its movements a few moments before letting her arrow fly. 

It was easy to say that the loud screech and it wobbly flight had meant her aim had been true or true enough to dig into that beautiful ruby eye of the beast. She disliked cruelty of animals but in this case she had to make an exception and if all went well than it would keep its other eye for vision. She tapped her com to speak to the rest of ground team and anyone tuning in,[color=lime]"Ray, I believe the creature is thoroughly distracted at the moment but it will get its barring soon enough. I suggest we make haste to the ship. O'hare can distract it the rest of the way."[/color]
