There may be a very well dressed man who stands out quite a bit from the other people there. One with some odd looking tool and a panel that looks to be a bit worse off for wear. He was there trying to snoop through stuff in the important parts of the ship and not get in trouble for it learn a bit more about the basic engineering of the ship and the blown out panel he had been replacing was a good place to start. And now he's standing in front of a blue furred four eyes quadraped (or would that be sextaped? There were four legs and a set of human like arms, very curious)with no mouth and a rather nasty bladed tail. The Doctor would probably guess it poisoned, but right now that was a thing to figure out if the being attacked.
