[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. :|]

Sure sounds like it. Got enough time to spare for an explanation?

[Well, it happened, judging by how she's reacting to all this. Probably a good idea to start expecting anything in Luceti.]

[scopedandcalibrated]

Right. I'll give you the quick version. [The long one can wait until they're not broadcasting over the network and he learns how to use this old fashioned thing enough to filter it, sob.]

The whole crew was kidnapped by the Collectors while we were testing out the IFF. All of them except Joker, taken right out from under us. So we took the fight to them. Hit them them fast and hard at their base, got our people back. No casualties.

[Which brings us to the fun part.]

The Collectors...they were processing the human colonists to build some kind of Reaper. We blew it to hell. The base itself, though - the Illusive Man wanted to keep that as a personal trophy.

Think we need to get in touch sometime. Got an AIM address?

[exaltedshepard]

Pleasant. [Quite a bit of venom in her tone there...well, couldn't be helped; messing with her crew and trying to mold them into one of those abominations was a surefire way to get your ass handed to you.] Did we blow the base to hell, too?

Would be nice to know if I gave the Illusive Man the middle finger he deserved, while wrecking the Reapers' plans.

Sure! Catch me at throesofangels :Db Same username for plurk too, if you have one!

[scopedandcalibrated]

Weeell, let's just say that I doubt he could have been hung up on faster if we'd used FTL drives. [Smug satisfaction, right there.] But that's the whole story, Shepard. The base, the proto-Reaper...all gone. And we made it out of there alive.

[exaltedshepard]

[Welp, there's something to look forward to when she finally gets back to the Normandy and gets that IFF. She's already imagining the subtle frustration in the Illusive Jerkwad's voice, too.] So much for it being a suicide mission, huh?

[scopedandcalibrated]

Well, I'm sure we'll have more opportunities in the future. [Wry. So very wry.]
