[Action/Voice]

[exaltedshepard]

[So, who's interested in bothering the redheaded woman lounging around at 3 possible places:

A) at the fountain, just biding her time, getting some nice, well-deserved fresh air after what she's been through,
B) walking through the streets, trying to familiarize herself with the entirety of the village, making sure she knows which is where, or
C) sitting in her community building room, making sure her armaments are in proper condition? If you come across this on your journal, you're liable to hear some complaints here and there -- something about where the hell she's going to find scraps of metal to use.

Pick wisely. :|]

Totally option A.

[hadtobeme]

[Enjoying your fresh air, Shepard? Someone else is as well. Walking out of the item shop is a familiar-looking salarian, carrying two large bags filled with medical supplies. He's looking rather pleasant, despite the new surroundings, and happily hums a tune to himself as he walks about.]

[exaltedshepard]

[There's a face she wasn't expecting to see around. Shepard perks up and peeks over from her seat when he passes, a little grin showing -- she'd recognize that tune anywhere.]

Mordin. Good to see a familiar face around.

[hadtobeme]

[Mordin stops when he hears Shepard's voice, turning to see the commander peeking over her chair. He's a bit confused, but he smiles at the sight of his friend.]

Ah, Shepard! Wasn't expecting to see you here-- not soon, at least.

[exaltedshepard]

That makes two of us. Thought I wouldn't be seeing the crew at all down here.

[Time for her to get up and make her way over. It's nice to have at least one essential part of the crew back, quirky as this salarian may be even amongst his kind.]

You settled in already?

[hadtobeme]

Surprisingly so. World seems to be quite primitive, yet all amenities easily accessible.

[He motions his head down towards the bag.]

Looking forward to running tests.

[exaltedshepard]

[A little nod -- good to hear, Gilbert-and-Sullivan nut. :P ...Which raises a question, actually...hmm.]

That barrier blocking the town from the outside doesn't seem primitive, though.

[...Has Mordin come across that yet? She wouldn't be surprised if he didn't given his focus on his tests, but it'd be nice to know if he gets what she's referring to.]

[hadtobeme]

[Hey, when you have a musical soul, sometimes you just need to let it out.]

Ah, yes. Barrier. Have heard about it, though not seen directly. Seems quite advanced, compared to village. Assuming standard omni-tool interface will not be sufficient.

[He brings a free hand to his chin in thought.]

Is on testing list.

[exaltedshepard]

[Well, Shep wouldn't mind it at all. Just expect the same long blanks for a while before she gets used to it. :P]

Nor will trying to punch through it work out. Not with the Cain, anyway, much less an assault rifle. [Why did she bring that nuke launcher again? She should've brought something like the grenade launcher to the fray instead. She's not risking blowing herself up, or an entire tract of land just to see if it's possible to break through. >_>]

Those 'shifts' I've heard about might be worth looking into as well.

[hadtobeme]

Thanix missiles proven effective in the past. [He chuckles, half-kidding.]

Shifts interesting, however. Unannounced changes in physiology and mentality... problematic. Though many statements made seem beyond physical possibility. Likely local mythos used to explain unexplainable.

Will believe it when I see it.

[exaltedshepard]

Well, if you don't mind us in a state of long-term debt, then sure, we can try those. [Hello, sarcasm, how do you do? Given that the similarly-named Thanix cannon she'd had installed onto the Normandy is apparently built off of Sovereign's tech, she won't be surprised if that same tech condensed into a missile causes large amounts of collateral damage. :| There's that faint grin again, too, though that fades soon enough.]

...So, if one happens to you, is there the chance that you'd turn into another species? Human, maybe? [Well, he did mention physiological change, but she might be grasping at straws here.]

[hadtobeme]

Suppose it's possible, based on stories. Likely as possible as you turning salarian.

[Excuse him a second while he ponders this.] On second thought, krogan more fitting.

[exaltedshepard]

[Really, Mordin?] I can't be that much of a brute...can I? [Not really oblivious to how much wanton destruction she's caused in trying to bring down people stepping way out of line; she's...amused by it, at least. XD]

[hadtobeme]

Think Reapers would agree with observation. [Chuckle.]

[exaltedshepard]

Depends. Would I wind up making whatever species I turn into look special enough to them?

[hadtobeme]

Hope not. Prefer not to spark another war. Peace and quiet at premium in home universe.

[His gaze moves towards the sky.]

But not my problem to solve, anymore.

[exaltedshepard]

If it amounts to much, we're technically on shore leave right now, aren't we?

...Even if it means being stuck without a Normandy to board at the moment.

[She's not sure of what to make of that last bit...yet. Maybe she should reserve asking about it for some other time...]

[hadtobeme]

[He's not sure how to answer that question. Calling it shore leave implies that he would be returning. Perhaps the best response is to leave the question be.]

Mm. Yes. Trust Normandy is doing well. Joker not goaded into any joy rides? [He chuckles.]

[exaltedshepard]

[Hmm. Could've sworn that he dodged something, but...that might still be a sensitive spot for the guy. She'll go over that when he's more comfortable.] When EDI's around to keep that in check? Nope. I don't think the crew's stomachs could take it anyway. [Lord knows how many crazy maneuvers Joker will do if he does get the OK for a joyride...]

[[Curious question. Is this Mordin from ME3? If so, is this post-death?

Also we should totally trade AIM addresses. :Bb]]
