Kreska blinked as Rocket stumbled over her own tongue, then looked down at herself. She looked up again, and gave a wave of two fingers. "Ey. Don' think'm really pullin' off this PJs look so great."
Because that was what that was, right? Rocket trying really hard not to laugh?
Her eyes automatically went upward, even though she knew very well that the source of the voice was not actually above them. Just polite, it seemed like; ships didn't generally have other ways to look them in the eye. Looking upward was good enough, if there weren't any screens available. Rocket's gesture confirmed it, and a slow grin spread across her face.
"Cady," she repeated, rising and falling on the balls of her feet in a bounce. She pointed upward at nothing at all. "OmniCorp," she declared. "Don' recognize th'voice, but I know th'… diction?" Kreska was not actually able to pinpoint how it was that she knew what she knew, but that tended to be the case for most things. "Not ridonk old, but y'ain't a baby – wait, don'tell me, I can guess if ya jus' lemme hear ya say chimichanga."
She paused in her probably rude attempt to guess the AI's age, twirling on the ball of one foot to get a better look at the interior. "'Cept this ain't no OmniCorp build – summa these parts, mebbe, but'cher all too fancypants t'be a standard Forces rig, too much stuff ain't for civvies t'be anythin' else. An' I don' recognize all o'these."
Her twirling stopped, balanced on her toes, as she looked to Rocket. "Should I stop guessin' on account o' there's shady biz an' ya don' wanna get in trouble?" she asked, pressing a finger to her lips in the universal sign for shutting the fuck up.
Then she looked back upward. "Y'don' look like ya need a mechanic, tho," she said. "Y'look perf."
