Harisa and Cherche both arrived with their respective parties.  Cherche took a spot along the wall with Erka while Harisa stood with her fellow engineer.  They arrived before the captain and both would salute her as she entered.  When Jess and the Captain entered, Jess would give a small nod to the Captain and walk off to where she saw Harisa... Then she'd notice the Mothraki.  She gave a harsh look over and then smile.  [color=green]"Gya! You are adorable!"[/color]  She said, hugging the moth boy.  She knew all about these creatures!  [color=green]"Oh, you make me want to swing for the correct team, you're so cute."[/color]

Cherche on the other side of the room just rolled her eyes.  [color=violet]"I feel like I must apologize for her on behalf of all of human-kind."[/color] The woman said to Erka while the Head Engineer did what she did.

Harisa stepped in though, and lightly pushed the woman away from Malia.  [color=teal]"Miss, while I understand the feeling... We are here for a brief.  You can do this later.  Or better yet, not do it."[/color]  She stated, looking the woman in the eye.

While at first Jessica looked irritated with that, she resigned.  [color=green]"Yes, yes. You're right."[/color] The woman sighed and turned to Kiri.  [color=green]"Alright, 'I apologize for my outburst, Captain. Please proceed.'"[/color] Jess added with an obviously rehearsed phrase.  She obviously did not have a military background.
