"Well, that was a conversation stopper." Just then the back door slammed open and a large group of young adults squeezed through the door. They seemed so engaged in their own conversation, seeming to gackle like a flock of Daks, that they didn't notice anyone. As the group rounded the prone Iguana. "Hey Shamus!" shouted the young woman in the lead. She had numerous peircing running up the ears and her hair was bright red. "How's it han- - Whoa!" The woman thrust out her arms, stopping everyone dead in their tracks. The whole crowd stopped, looking at Tina with a look of surprise on their faces. I twas hard not to notice that she stood nearly two meters tall. A large, burly kid with a nose ring spoke up. "Ah, we're not getting another one, are we?" Felicity frowned, motioning to the motley conflagration. "Tina, this is the Pit Crew. Well, a good portion of them. Pit Crew, this is Tina, and, yes, she is a Kassandra-class GREL who will working with Luc and I. She's an expert in electronic systems and will be helping all of us out here."
