There was a curiosity there in her gaze but nothing that showed any malic which was a good sign. It did not surprise her that the staring was happening since as far as Rae knew, she was the only one to have ever left her planet which would make her a unique sight to most but that didn't make it any less unsettling. She looked away from the girl and focused her attention on the Commander as she spoke to her in hushed tones.[color=palegreen]"I have seen very few with such an ability as those races tend to keep to themselves or die out for obvious reasons. I have never seen such a case in a human but this could be a cross-species. We can have Valanx take a look into that a later time to determine if that is indeed the case should she not wish to speak or cannot."[/color]she whispered. The girl, Rendyl, did have damage and with her abilities still so chaotic, there might be a communication barrier if sign language was not taught. She kept a calm face as Aamra then requested a sedative be made for their stowaway and while she was going to reply with a 'no' since the Captain would probably need more information from her to present to the Committee, that never happened as the ship took a sudden impact. The Captain's warning not quite being quick enough which made Rae close her eyes, the crystals along her body hardening for the forceful slam she was prepared to take though it never came. Instead, she felt arms wrap around her frame and pulling her close into a protective embrace as the lights flickered out. She was grateful to not have to deal with the impact but at the same time, Aamra had to deal with the damage instead if it should occur which did not sit well. She was also not used to being embraced by another and was debating what the social protocol for this was. Did she hold the other back? Did she thank the other woman for protecting her? Did she do nothing? She just stayed frozen and let herself be held while deciding the other woman's facial cues would give her an explanation for what to do when the lights turned back on. She heard Aamea growl next to her ear, her voice speaking out in protest before the lights flickered on and the look of realization crossed her face. She had thought the other woman held onto her on purpose but after seeing the reaction, it must have been military reflexes though either answer was logical. They both had the instinct to protect and serve after all. Aamra swiftly let go of her as if she had been a fire that burnt her before the luminescent markings on Aamra's body flashed red and she looked almost bashful while apologizing, for what, Rae had no idea. It was not as if Aamra had done anything wrong or had she? Usually, one would ask for permission to touch another person but it was understandable to not abide by that rule if the person would be hurt otherwise. She would have to ask someone later but for now, she could put a pin in that thought as Raymond's voice filled her ear once again. Rae tapped the communicator in her ear and responded to the Captain,[color=palegreen]"Who would be the correct term and it seems that a unique ability was the motive behind the attack on the Monroe."[/color] she answered before tapping it back off. All this mess for one girl....it should be an interesting tale. She moved around the girl, looking at the cryo-pod that the girl had probably emerged from and thought they better have Valanx do a once over. They had no idea what condition or problems that could happen to the stowaway from an early awakening even if she seemed fine now. It might also give important information which had her tapping the com once more and addressing their Science Officer.[color=palegreen]"Valanx, we have a cryo-pod in the cargo bay that needs to be examined. Please see if you can find any information and report back to the Captain once found."[/color] Now that that order was given, they needed to clear the space for their Science Officer as well as the Engineer and get the stowaway into a more secure area. They didn't have a chance though as Raymond stepped in and instantly making her feel tense as his body language said not to mess with him. He said no words as he roughly grabbed Rendyl and shoved her towards the door. Luirae stepped forward about to be the voice of reason as it was easy to tell where Raymond's mind was. If it wasn't for Rendyl being on the Monroe, Anderson would still be alive and he would not have a heavy burden to bear. He didn't think about the fact that she had been in that room with him. That she could help support some of that weight. It was not this stowaway's fault and the Rats were completely to blame. Rae could already see that he was slightly hurt, his hand shaking was not due to anger though most would probably think so. It was when he finally decided to speak that she was left frozen, the sour tone directed at them made it clear even to her that he was not pleased with them. Had he said to put her in the brig? Rae could not remember though if she was being honest, she didn't remember most of the trip to the cargo hold. It was like a blur but she couldn't tell him that. He hadn't even either of them a chance as he started to lead the other girl out. She curled her fingers into a fist, irritated that she didn't get to defend herself and that the girl was getting the blame. She wanted to pull him aside but now was not the time. She would just have to deal with that pit sitting in her stomach that Raymond was upset with her, more so then she had seen in a while. Emotions were....troubling.
