Before the meeting started, someone scooted closer to Skyler and extended his hand. "Hey there, good day," He said. "The name's Jason Lee, but everyone calls me Ace." Skyler looked at his hand for a moment. Unsure, she took his hand and shook it, what humans would call a "handshake." It was a popular greeting on their planet. "Hello, 'Ace.' I am Skyler. Pleasure to meet your acquaintance." Skyler replied. She wasn't really fond of humans, but she never rejected a gentlemanly act. 

After the Captain explained their plans, several of The Marauders spoke up with questions and statements, but Sky preferred not to talk. The Captain then wanted she and the others to meet him in the docking bay in ten minutes. Skyler was still processing the plan. [I]What if I fail? What if they all end up like the other Manaketes? What if...[/I] Her mind trailed on, causing her to tear up a bit. She quickly wiped them away.

After everyone was dismissed, Skyler snuck away into her room. She grabbed a small elastic band and tied her hair up into a high ponytail, letting her bangs frame her face. She then plopped down on her bed, just thinking as always. [I]Ice planet with lava... This certainly will be interesting. I hope you're all ready to see a dragon.[/I] If she was going to represent her species, the least she could do was give her best.
