"Disrespectful! Why does Captain treat you so well!" She snaps back in response to your compliment... Well first impressions don't seem to be going well. Vallis leads you past, "Sorry about her. Once you prove your worth, she'll warm up to you. She's just slow to trust 'outsiders' for... personal reasons." You catch Vallis glancing at the clearly robotic hand, so you suppose it has to do with that. You are quickly approached by another girl, with another trailing behind. They are both non-human, the leading one is... a dragon?! No... she doesn't have the aura of one, but has a long reptilian tail, and the girl following her is a harpy who seems mostly disinterested in you. "So this is the new recruit eh? Saw her fight with you. Girl got some strength... Think she can take Helena?" The lizard girl boisterously laughed at that.
"Depends. In an arm wrestle situation probably, but she lacks the training to win with raw strength," Vallis answers, which causes even the harpy's eyes to widen, as Vallis turns to you, gesturing at them, "The loud one is Erica, special operative, and is indisputable the strongest in the water. Since the rivers are the best option now for long distance transportation, she's invaluable. The other girl is Jessica. Uniquely, she's a pure mage, and can't even use a gun. Still she can bombard most enemies with impunity from above. She'll also probably be the one to teach you the ropes on magic."
