To be honest, under normal circumstances, Sadie would have been a bit more polite.
However, these were not normal circumstances. The woman already had a bee in her bonnet regarding the entire matter with the original excavation crew, the way the project turned to chaos, and now the investigative and rescue team efforts. Honestly, if blasted Patel had let her do her job in the first place and given her the green light to head the original team, they wouldn't be in this mess, to begin with.
A glower cut her expression, her attention still on the Wookiee and the small group of Salacia employees she'd enlisted on behalf of making sure all of her materials attended to that she missed the inquisitive query from a man to her right.
"Now, you'll need to take these crates and place them orderly like in the cargo hold. Make sure you take a good stock of where they are set," the professor explained to the Salacia employees, only to catch the way the crew straightened at another's approach. Turning her dark head towards Judah's direction, Sadie gave a slight frown that pinched into one of mild irritation. Was this the Salacia foreman out to take her commandeered employee? Likely.
As it was, ambled her way with an easy-going assured pace, with peppered hair that slightly curled over his temples and ears. He had blue eyes, tanned, weathered skin that showed his age - and that he'd aged well, the blasted luck of men - and a thick scruff of hair along his jawline of a maintained beard. Seeing as he was wearing typical spacer clothing and some well worn Salacia Consolidated patches, she figured him to be some sort of supervisor.
With a small wave of her hand gesturing him to come forward, she invited him,
"Yes, yes, well, you are no the only one on a timetable, and we are almost done." she replied assuredly with that distinct accent of hers.
"Actually, come here," Sadie immediately instructed, taking charge again in an attempt also to commandeer Judah to the endeavor, much to the shock, amusement, and mild uneasiness of the Salacia employees surrounding them. Not that situational awareness was Sadie's best virtue when she was focused on a particular task. It was her no-nonsense nature that saw that things needed to be done, and well, her tasks were a little more important right now.
"If you could take that end of that crate, then we can finish this up faster, " she told him, gesturing to guide him to the specific crate Sadie selected for him to move. From under that wide, bantha leather brim, those gray eyes would stare at Judah expectantly, the woman very much accustomed to having her way when it came to giving directions and having them done. She had almost two decades of working in education and having to deal with higher-level education administration to expect otherwise.
