Cora

After a while Cora frowned and looked over the ground team to see if anyone was feeling the same. She wasn't really sure how turians displayed disbelief but she was pretty sure Vetra was doing it. Peebee was straight-up amused, no doubts about it, while Liam was oblivious as always. Drack was bored and looking out of the window, probably staking his next pray or something. Jaal was just curious about human interaction and watching Sara as his primary object of study.

Cora bit her lip – she really wanted to say something to the young Pathfinder but… well, they just established a scientific outpost on Havarl, or more like firstly visited it and had Addison congratulate them. Sara said some inspiring words for the Director of Colonial Affairs and then decided to make rounds as she did on Prodromos and Tearve Uni. Only… well.

Hawkins MacIntyre was a perfectly ok guy. Protective too, judging from how he talked about his insect-loving colleague. Passionate about his work and science in general. Full of funny stories about his team only made more intriguing by his Scottish accent. Not bad looking, but no model, that's for sure. But also very clearly male – something she knew Sara didn't go for.

Then just why Ryder was staring dreamily at him, practically a step away from sighing in longing.

Peebee couldn't hold herself back anymore and snorted, trying to mask her laugher. That seemed to wake Ryder and prompt her to end the conversation.

Soon they were shooting roekaar and searching for remnant ruins, so Cora almost forgot about it. Especially since the Pathfinder was in form as always, not losing even a single step.

She solved the mystery when they returned to the Tempest when nightfall came and most of their missions and tasks were over.

"Welcome back Pathfinder. Team. Pathfinder team" said a familiar accent on the intercom, Suvi greeting the ground team as they picked them up.

"Ooooh!" Cora snapped her fingers and smiled at finally figuring out what was bothering her.

"What was that about?" Sara arched an eyebrow in question.

"Nothing" the biotic uncharacteristically grinned and with a small salute left in the direction of her cabin.

She ignored the muttered "weird" behind her, only grinning wider.

"Suvi, eh? That might just work" Cora thought as she followed her CO towards the infirmary as per protocol.
