Taerys remained still, breathing slowly and deeply as Jackdaw came up to her. Despite the length of time that the Varyx had to deal with her for, she could still feel herself getting aggravated by the human already. Who the hell did she think she was? "Maybe. The colonists call them [i]'The White Ones'[/i]. I still don't know exactly what they are, but I suppose the state of this colony gives you a good idea." She gestured around herself with her hand and paused for a moment, still watching Jack. "And I'm sure your suggestion to open that gate won't go down well. I trust them as little as you do, but we have no choice here. Don't make your first impressions on these people worse than it already is. We were tasked to help them, and that's what we'll do."

Taerys sighed and did her best to ignore Jack for a few moments. She made her way over to the rest of her team and opened her mouth to start conversation with Rennac, but she was immediately silenced with the sight of Varus under Ryder's arm. The Varyx was silent for a moment. "You found him..." Taerys trailed off, eyes locked on Varys. "What's his condition?"
