[ so... Garrus likes poking around the network. he likes it a lot. but it's the first time that he's actually... really gone through with the effort to make a post on on it. might as well start with the small talk. ]

so, i've been up for a while and i can't help but notice something.

there's a lot of humans around here. a lot of humans that are awake, and not so many of any other species. take me, for example. back home, as amazing as i am, i'm only one example out of billions of turians. here, i'm the only one.

if you ask me, it's a little strange.

does anyone have a good, sound, scientific explanation for this? like humans are more storm-proof, or something? and how many of you guys are the only ones of your species that are around? are you used to it? do you find it weird that the locals don't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary?

all i'm saying is there's a lot of questions.

[ oh, and for good measure... ]

and, if any of you orbiters are hanging out around here, you're also welcome to answer!

huh. how about that.

actually, that'd put you right on track for a turian at your age. we all start boot camp when we're fifteen.

[braidedwonder]

I never did a boot camp, really. Not in the formal sense.

Just, you know. Training.

[centurian]

so they just picked you right out of your colony and threw you into a war?

that doesn't sound like a very sound strategy.

[ it actually sounds a... little unethical. ]

[braidedwonder]

More or less.

We won, anyways. So it's sound enough I guess.

[centurian]

that's petty impressive.

not that it matters all that much now.

[ he's really trying not to be spiteful. really. ]

[braidedwonder]

Wow. You’re just a ray of sunshine today aren’t you?

[centurian]

sorry.

all of this is still. taking a while to get used to. but i guess it could be worse.

[ that's the problem with being a pessimist. ]

[braidedwonder]

Well you aren't dead so things are looking up.

[centurian]

yeah, that's always a point.

and, my people aren't being harvested by a sentient spaceship, so that's also not so bad.

[ even though he really does miss Palaven, ok? ]

[braidedwonder]

Not yet at least.

They'd be like frozen treats right now.

[centurian]

look, i'd like to keep it that way.

kid.

[braidedwonder]

I'm just being realistic here, buggy.

[ Get it, instead of buddy? Get it? ]

[centurian]

see, i'd also say that's racist, but i'll let it slide, given what you said at the beginning of all of this.

at least you're equal opportunity.

[braidedwonder]

Definitely equal opportunity.

More fun that way
