Zarti stepped forward together with the Captain of the Keelah Si'yah. The aid could not have come in a more opportune moment. And with the added bonus that at least the Hyperion and the Natanus had survived the journey to the Andromeda galaxy. Sadly that could not be said about their original pathfinders if Sara Ryder and Avitus Rix occupied the positions. Still this was good news.

	"Pathfinder Ryder, Rix, we are most grateful for your help." Zarti approached the two Pathfinders. "As you can well see we are in dire states." She paused to look about the remains of the enemy that had plagued the survivors of the Keelah Si'yah after it had crash landed on this alien rock of a planet. "Unfortunately we cannot tell you much of our attackers. They come at night when we are most vulnerable. They either don't need sleep or are nocturnal. We had to institute shifts for all combat ready personnel so that the people could get some rest and be of use during a battle."

	"As for the state of our ark. I'm sure the Captain is better equipped to answer that question. But I can tell you this much. The Quarian ark was supposed to depart with the rest of the Initiative, but we encountered problems with the life support systems for all the different species we would carry, so we were delayed. We set off as soon as the complications were dealt with. But we were up for a rough awakening. Apparently upon entering Andromeda space our ark encountered this dark energy cloud or something and the Keelah Si'yah crash landed here. Our supplies are running drastically low. Up until now we were unable to explore the planet for possible resupply efforts due to these constant attacks. Moral is low. We feared we were the only ones that made it." Zarti paused to take a breath, her mask's breathing apparatus hissing quietly. "Keelah se'lai, it's good to see you!" She exclaimed and fell silent.

	Zarti turned to the Turian Pathfinder. "Yes, it is good to meet a non Quarian dextro." She smiled, but her mask obscured it.
