	The technicians had given Krista the all clear sign about a minute before the last members of the squad docked. She’d disconnected from the battle feed once the ten-minute timer had been declared; she didn’t have the stomach to watch something she could not affect again. The bright light of the hangar snapped her out of her daze. Thankfully she’d gotten over the worst of her breakdown in time and the residual disorientation of going from four to two legs had faded enough that she could climb out of the Hou Yi with minimal help from the techs. 

	She emerged just in time to hear the announcement that the mission had succeeded, though she was too tired to register that fact. Shaking out the stiffness in her arms, she gave the mechanics and other support crew wide berth. She wanted nothing more than to go track down the cantina and see how much sugar and creamer one could fit into a cup of tea, but she found herself just walking over towards Roger in a bit of a daze. She stood next to the older boy and awkwardly standing next to him. [color=tomato] “Hey there, uh, thanks for the help out there. Glad to see you made it back in one piece. ” [/color] She let a few moments pass before continuing. [color=tomato] “Uh, What now? I want to go get something to drink, but I don’t know if we’re supposed to wait here or something.” [/color]
