Mafyyil is very excited to receive the message. Finally, something is happening! Although she's not sure leaving heptarchate space is what her superiors had been planning for her, and she's not particularly happy about having to learn the cultural norms of barbarians, she's looking forward to meeting other (and maybe more civilized) rebellion forces. So she turns her head to see if anyone she's supposed to talk to is around.
