@everyone | dated to when the creatures started showing up

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.

So I guess we didn't take our animals to space with us...

Yeah, steak is a cut of meat from a cow. Milk is that white liquid I put in my tea.

You know what, why don't you come over some evening and we'll go over common domestic animals and animal products. A lot of them exist here, too. Like horses. And actual cows.

Depends. You sure brought hamsters and tropical fish. But that and a few bird species are about all that's allowed on the Citadel - space station I lived and worked on for a long time.

Also Shepard had both. Kind of liked the fish.

How can refuse an invitation like that? Be nice to know what I'm eating these days.

Hamsters? Really? Should have brought guinea pigs.

Yeah I have fish. They're not exactly pets, they're to keep the microorganism biome stable in my aquatic garden tank, but they're relaxing to watch.

Yes that's something you should know, Garrus.

Shepard insists it's a "space hamster". Not just a hamster. Little guy's pretty cute, though.

I think that's why a lot of people keep fish. Something about algae tanks too. The fish on the Normandy were pretty much just for fun though.

Hah - I'm mostly kidding. I know the basic things. Specifics would be good though.

Well I guess if it's in space...

There's just something soothing about it. And I have a bigger tank, it's like an aquarium. When I can't sleep, getting stoned and watching the fish really helps.

Specifics are still important.

Space cow, space hamster... It's a theme.

Yeah. Plus it was always kind of fun to see them all swim after the food pellets.

Yes ma'am. Here's hoping I'm not a slow learner.
