Drake was walking towards the Izanagi, terrified by what had just happened, what he just saw. He barely registered the Spartan who fixed his left hand, for all he saw in his mind was Felix. He had died to save them, buy them time. Once again, he couldn't do anything in the face of the Cruxi. He had been terrified by those. . . those monsters, hadn't been able to fire his gun.

"Pathetic," he whispered to himself, filled with self loathing at his weakness. He looked at his left hand for a second, before taking his finger and carving the young Spartan's name on the back of it. He would never forget that Spartan, and he'd be damned if he let someone else die needlessly ever again.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, he looked around to see how he could make himself useful. Seeing as how few of the pilots seemed to be boarding the Izanagi, he decided he should try hurrying the process, so as to get it done faster. He turned to look over at those who had yet to board, seeing a girl with long, dark hair who seemed to be clinging to a green haired. . . girl? boy? It was rather hard to tell. Considering how nervous the girl seemed, she was unlikely to start moving unless everyone else did, or at the very least the one she was clinging to. Drake walked over, keeping his gun lowered, finger off the trigger, but never taking his eye completely off the Cruxi trying to penetrate the forcefield. He stopped in front of them, mainly addressing the green haired person.

"Hello, my name is Drake." he said with a warm smile on his face, " We should probably get on the Izanagi now, as it isn't that safe out here. I was wondering if you could help me get anyone else who has yet enter the ship to hurry along, it would be mud appreciated. May I please learn your names and, for the green haired person, may please ask what gender you are, or prefer to be associated with, as I truly cannot tell."
