[Having heard about the tensions between the Savrii and the newcomers, Raeka was more than happy to attend the meeting and to help out with the mission. It could be a good first step in helping smooth things over with the Savrii, and frankly, it would be a welcome distraction from everything else that was on her mind.
Well, the good news is that she was definitely going to be distracted.
Once the initial confusion dies down, Raeka puts her Pathfinder training to work. Though her abilities are limited due to the absence of her SAM, she's still able to scan soil samples and get general readings on the area with her omni-tool. It isn't much, but at the very least she's able to determine that staying in one place isn't a viable option.
There is one other thing that she's able to determine, something that could potentially prove promising.]
There's something out there.
[She's half thinking out loud, attention focused on the orange holographic device on her arm. As soon as she notices that there's someone nearby, she pauses to elaborate.]
An energy signature. It's faint, and it's a long way out, but I'm willing to bet that it's our best way out of this mess.
[creepy cave adventure time with badass fight scenes or something]
[For the most part, Raeka had stayed close to the group. There was strength in numbers, and the fact that there were creatures actively stalking them was already well known at this point. That, on top of the threats posed by these unusual storms made it necessary to keep track of each other at all times.
The caves they'd come across offered adequate shielding from the storms, but sitting around and simply waiting for them to pass did little to calm Raeka's nerves. The lack of proper food and water (her salarian metabolism was kicking her ass right now) and the odd sort of numbness she was feeling as a result of being out in the storms weren't helping matters any, but aside from delayed reflexes, she at least didn't outwardly seem bothered. Still, she needed to keep herself busy somehow, which she did by studying samples of the glowing surfaces and water in the cave.
She hadn't thought she'd wandered too far from the group, but her current state wasn't doing her any favors in the awareness department. She'd just turned around to head back, realizing that she'd wandered much further into the cave than she'd intended and mentally kicking herself for not paying attention, when she heard what was unmistakably something rushing up on her. Something she correctly perceived as hostile before managing to react quickly enough to turn and shoot it in the... faceless toothface, almost point blank.
It was pretty much dead, which is good, but it wasn't alone. Which is less good.]
Hostiles!
[She really hopped she was still in earshot of the group, because there were kind of a lot of fucked up alien monster things closing in, and she only had so much ammo.]
