The small area which she had staked out in the mess was becoming substantially more trafficked as more and more pilots made their way out of cryo. Volana shifted her seat over to the side in an attempt to make more room for the two that just arrived. Both were easily recognizable, though the past few minutes had been quite the mental exercise as Volana repeatedly attempted to recall introductions that took place years ago for her brain, even if it felt like mere hours for her mind. The disconnect between the two was a unique, and overall pretty strange experience.

The first of which wasn't much taller than she was, dark hair sharp features, though the electronic voice which emanated from the PDA jogged her memory before the rest. [i][color=aquamarine]Fox, right.[/color][/i]

She never did get the chance to ask if that was moniker, or if it was his real name. Though Volana was willing to bet that getting an answer out of the man wasn't going to be a straightforward process. She'd ask Konstantin, he might know. Or at least, he seemed to know Fox better, or at least they got along well enough.

Second, well the Martian wasn't as difficult. Volana could have sworn that she had seen his face even before this whole expedition, maybe in a movie? She honestly wouldn't entirely rule it out, Gilford looked like he belonged in an action flick [i]about[/i] the accomplishments she had heard about him rather than having been the man to pull them off himself.

Volana smiled in greeting to the two of them, before adding to Konstantin's explanation, "[color=aquamarine]Turns out, there [i]are[/i] beaches, though I do not think we will have much downtime for them.[/color]"

While his reply didn't do much in the way of displaying it, Konstantin was right. It was [i]very exciting[/i]. The few of them assembled here would be the very first humans to set foot in another solar system, [i]ever[/i]. The realization, or perhaps more the realization sinking in completely, made her heart flutter.

Very exciting.
