@everyone | dated to when the creatures started showing up

[thearchangel]

Hey, so - head's up. Not sure what's going on here, but if anyone sees a weird looking animal, four legs, two little arms coming out of the chest?

Watch your wallet.

I'm serious. Those things steal your credits - or whatever you're using as currency here. No clue how they do it. I mean, they're not dangerous, they're just irritating.

They're from our neck of the universe. I think humans call them "shifty-looking cows".

That's it. PSA from the milky way.

Oh, now I really want Wrex to show up here.

[earthborn]

You just wanna see what would happen if the locals tried to argue with him about— hell, anything. When was the last time somebody won a fight with him? Virmire?

Tough old bastard. He'd take over this planet within the week.

[thearchangel]

I'm pretty sure the only person who's won an argument against Urdnot Wrex is you, Shepard. In any conversation at all.

Hah. Yeah, he might. This place is simple, compared to Tuchanka.

[earthborn]

Hardly any nuclear fallout or warring clans at all. Not even a Thresher Maw, yet. Maybe.

[thearchangel]

Please stop saying 'thresher maw'.

You might actually bring one here.

[earthborn]

Why not? As I recall, you got pretty good at fighting Thresher Maws on foot, the last couple of times.

We've been getting pretty lazy: I figure it's time we upped the ante.

[thearchangel]

Not by choice.

And I'm kind of enjoying not worrying about where I walk on an alien world for once.

[earthborn]

What, you don't miss it at all? Coming to a big, round, flat spot and just...

...Not going around it?

[thearchangel]

We never went around anything in the Mako...

But no, Shepard, I don't miss fighting giant underground, acid-spitting tentacle monsters.

... I told you about Kalros, right.

[earthborn]

So? Did you die? Quit whining, you're fine.

Besides, why would they build the Mako like that if we were meant to go around stuff?

[thearchangel]

I'm pretty sure mountains are usually meant to be gone around.

Usually.

[earthborn]

Oh, you know better.

[thearchangel]

I'm trying to be optimistic here.

[restingstitchface]

Ah, it's part of your culture?

[That's the impression he's getting.]

[thearchangel]

Yeah. That's a good way of putting it.

We're very. Very military-oriented. That's probably the thing most races know about us, first thing.

[restingstitchface]

Does that ever become tiresome? People often prefer being appreciated for more than a cultural stereotype.

[thearchangel]

Well, yeah. But that's not going to keep some human civilian looking at me and going, 'oh yeah, turian, stick up his ass, got it'.

Galaxy's a big place. You get used to it or you're going to spend a hell of a lot of time picking fights.

[restingstitchface]

Indeed. The cold truth of reality.

Humanity cannot bear it. I suppose that holds true for Turians and everyone else, too.

[thearchangel]

Hey, at least sometimes, you get to bond over bad jokes about your respective people.

[restingstitchface]

Ah, how true.

Well, it's been a pleasure. We'll have to chat again sometime.

[thearchangel]

You too. Thanks.
